Conference summary

Topic: Some keys to understanding legal regulations related to Blockchain and cryptoassets

Blockchain is a new technology that wants to be decentralized and deregulated.

However, national and international institutions still wish to establish a legal framework.

Some countries like France have established standards that should be understood before wanting to set up a “Blockchain / Crypto” project.

The legal framework for this field is not yet perfectly established and risks already exist, making legal expertise essential.

Conference summary

Topic: What to expect from regulators?

What to expect from regulators in the future is an harmonized regulation, particularly at the European level, allowing digital asset service providers to benefit from the European passport and a more protective regulation for investors, in particular retail investors.

What industry professionals are entitled to expect from regulators is a balanced and proportionate regulation that should not be punitive and which would not restrain initiatives, particularly at EU level, and that allows for the development of a mature ecosystem that is competitive with the rest of the world and that regulates and supervises when necessary, without excess or prejudice.

  1. Which industry do you think will be next new being regulated by EU, after MICA (Markets in Crypto-assets)? Why?
  2. For a new start up building the business model based on blockchain technology, but not running on financing area (for example cryptocurrency), what’s your advise for the start up to run the business?
  3. From law and regulation perspective, how would you recommend industrial leaders to prepare themselves from now, in facing blockchain future?

Conference summary

Blockchain and cryptocurrencies: Toward a new model of decentralized sovereignty?

From Libra to central bank digital currencies, blockchain technologies are transforming the traditional model and conception of moneys. Behind this transformation, this is the whole idea of sovereignty which is at stake. Will crypto be the entrance door of a new concept of sovereignty for private companies, from Facebook to Amazon but also for new projects as we saw with ICOs? Are we to discover that blockchain technologies are finally recentralizing sovereignty within the hands of States?
