Series: Hart Studies in Commercial and Financial Law

This book focuses on the building of a crypto economy as an alternative economic space and discusses how the crypto economy should be governed. The crypto economy is examined in its productive and financialised aspects, in order to distil the need for governance in this economic space.

The author argues that it is imperative for regulatory policy to develop the economic governance of the blockchain-based business model, in order to facilitate economic mobilisation and wealth creation. The regulatory framework should cater for a new and unique enterprise organisational law and the fund-raising and financing of blockchain-based development projects. Such a regulatory framework is crucially enabling in nature and consistent with the tenets of regulatory capitalism.

Further, the book acknowledges the rising importance of private monetary orders in the crypto economy and native payment systems that do not rely on conventional institutions for value transfer. A regulatory blueprint is proposed for governing such monetary orders as 'commons' governance. The rise of Decentralised Finance and other financial innovations in the crypto economy are also discussed, and the book suggests a framework for regulatory consideration in this dynamic landscape in order to meet a balance of public interest objectives and private interests.

By setting out a reform agenda in relation to economic and financial governance in the crypto economy, this forward-looking work argues for the extension of ‘regulatory capitalism’ to this perceived ‘wild west’ of an alternative economic space. It advances the message that an innovative regulatory agenda is needed to account for the economically disruptive and technologically transformative developments brought about by the crypto economy.

Reviews for Regulating the Crypto Economy: Business Transformations and Financialisation

The book is extremely well written and makes a highly significant contribution to the literature … a fascinating and highly compelling piece of research of importance for those who are interested in the crypto economy but also for those who are interested in how law responds to technological innovations and enterprises, and more broadly, regulatory theories. -- Wai Yee Wan * The Chinese Journal of Comparative Law *
