  • More about Cryptocurrency Regulation: A Reflexive Law Approach


The current cryptocurrency regulation is inadequate, and this book proposes a reflexive regulation approach. It identifies the internal self-regulatory mechanisms of the cryptocurrency system, such as imbedded in the technical functionality of computer code and consensus-based distributive governance mechanisms. The book provides strategies for this approach, developed through the identification of the internal self-regulatory mechanisms of the cryptocurrency system. It also provides a technical, historical, and legal overview of cryptocurrencies and concludes by providing recommendations aimed at redirecting code and consensus towards achieving regulatory goals.

The current cryptocurrency regulation, particularly in the areas of enforcement and compliance, is deemed inadequate. This book proposes a reflexive regulation approach as an alternative solution. Through the identification of the internal self-regulatory mechanisms within the cryptocurrency system, this book offers strategies for implementing a reflexive regulation approach.

It is argued that apportioning blame for current problems to the regulators failure to consider the inherent technical features of cryptocurrencies is insufficient. Instead, the work advocates for reflexive regulation, where the law operates at a subsystem-specific level to install, correct, and redefine democratic self-regulatory mechanisms.

The internal self-regulatory mechanisms of the cryptocurrency system are identified as imbedded in the technical functionality of computer code and consensus-based distributive governance mechanisms, respectively. In addition to providing a comprehensive technical, historical, and legal overview of cryptocurrencies, the book concludes with recommendations aimed at redirecting code and consensus toward achieving regulatory goals.

Drawing from the theory of reflexive law, the book offers a substantive and jurisprudential perspective on the regulation of cryptocurrencies. It illustrates how financial technology (Fintech) regulation can only be effective once regulators consider both the 'Fin and the 'tech in their regulatory approaches.

The book will be of interest to researchers, academics, and policy-makers working in the areas of financial regulation and jurisprudence, financial crime, banking regulation, information systems, and information technology.
