Lawmakers around the world are waking up to digital currency — and everyone is in a race to figure out how to best regulate it. Because unlike others, crypto is constantly changing and rapidly developing; this being one of the main reasons why it’s difficult from a legislative standpoint.
In this webinar, we’re joined by both sides of the aisle, Philipp Pieper Co-founder of the world’s first regulated DeFi platform Swarm Markets and James Burnie, partner at law firm gunnercooke.
