framework for investment contract analysis of digital assets: Cryptoassets: The Guide to Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Cryptocurrency for Investment Professionals Matt Hougan, David Lawant, 2021-01-07 Bitcoin, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies burst onto the world stage in 2008, when the online posting of a pseudonymous white paper provided a vision of a new way to transfer value over the internet. In the decade-plus since, the cryptoasset market has gone through all the classic phases of a disruptive technology: massive bull markets and crushing pullbacks, periods of euphoria and moments of despair, FOMO (fear of missing out), fear, and everything in between. As the cryptomarket enters its second decade, one thing is clear: Crypto is not going away. Cryptoasset markets are rallying toward new all-time highs, and many of the world’s largest investors and financial institutions are getting involved. Investors looking into crypto, however, face significant challenges. The quality of information is poor. Theories about the drivers of cryptoasset valuations are untested and often poorly designed, and they are rarely—if ever—published in peer-reviewed journals. Due diligence efforts from leading consultants are in their infancy, and few people have carefully thought through the role (if any) that cryptoassets should have in a professionally managed portfolio. More fundamentally, few people even understand what crypto really is or why it might matter. Is it an alternative currency? A technology? A venture capital investment? A specious bubble? The goal of this document is to provide the inquisitive investor with a clear-eyed guide to crypto and blockchain: what they are, what they are not, and where they might go from here. |
framework for investment contract analysis of digital assets: Blockchain and Crypto Currency Makoto Yano, Chris Dai, Kenichi Masuda, Yoshio Kishimoto, 2020-04-15 This open access book contributes to the creation of a cyber ecosystem supported by blockchain technology in which technology and people can coexist in harmony. Blockchains have shown that trusted records, or ledgers, of permanent data can be stored on the Internet in a decentralized manner. The decentralization of the recording process is expected to significantly economize the cost of transactions. Creating a ledger on data, a blockchain makes it possible to designate the owner of each piece of data, to trade data pieces, and to market them. This book examines the formation of markets for various types of data from the theory of market quality proposed and developed by M. Yano. Blockchains are expected to give data itself the status of a new production factor. Bringing ownership of data to the hands of data producers, blockchains can reduce the possibility of information leakage, enhance the sharing and use of IoT data, and prevent data monopoly and misuse. The industry will have a bright future as soon as better technology is developed and when a healthy infrastructure is created to support the blockchain market. |

framework for investment contract analysis of digital assets: Keeping Pace with Change: Fintech and the Evolution of Commercial Law International Monetary Fund, Jose Garrido, 2022-01-27 This note explores the interactions between new technologies with key areas of commercial law and potential legal changes to respond to new developments in technology and businesses. Inspired by the Bali Fintech Agenda, this note argues that country authorities need to closely examine the adequacy of their legal frameworks to accommodate the use of new technologies and implement necessary legal reform so as to reap the benefits of fintech while mitigating risks. Given the cross-border nature of new technologies, international cooperation among all relevant stakeholders is critical. The note is structured as follows: Section II describes the relations between technology, business, and law, Section III discusses the nature and functions of commercial law; Section IV provides a brief overview of developments in fintech; Section V examines the interaction between technology and commercial law; and Section VI concludes with a preliminary agenda for legal reform to accommodate the use of new technologies. |
framework for investment contract analysis of digital assets: The Worth of Art Arturo Cifuentes, Ventura Charlin, 2023-09-05 Silver Medal Winner, 2024 Axiom Business Book Award, Personal Finance / Retirement Planning / Investing The market for art can be as eye-catching as artworks themselves. Works by artists from da Vinci and Rembrandt to Picasso and Modigliani have sold for hundreds of millions of dollars. The world’s ultrawealthy increasingly treat art as part of their portfolios. Since artworks are often valuable assets, how should financial professionals analyze them? Arturo Cifuentes and Ventura Charlin provide an expert guide to the methods, risks, and rewards of investing in art. They detail how to apply the financial and statistical tools and techniques used to evaluate more traditional investments such as stocks, bonds, and real estate to art markets. The Worth of Art: Financial Tools for the Art Markets shows readers how to use empirical evidence to answer questions such as: How do the returns on Basquiat compare to the S&P 500? Are Monet’s portraits as valuable as his landscapes? Do red paintings fetch higher prices than blue ones, and does the color palette matter equally to the sales of abstract Rothkos and figurative Hockneys? How much should be loaned to a borrower who is pledging one of Joan Mitchell’s late abstract paintings as collateral? Would the risk-return profile of a conventional portfolio benefit from exposure to Warhol? Rigorous and readable, this book also demonstrates how quantitative analysis can deepen aesthetic appreciation of art. |

framework for investment contract analysis of digital assets: Read Write Own Chris Dixon, 2024-01-30 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A potent exploration of the power of blockchains to reshape the future of the internet—and how that affects us all—from influential technology entrepreneur and startup investor Chris Dixon “A must for anyone who wants to better understand the real potential of blockchains and web3.”—Robert Iger, CEO, Disney “A compelling vision of where the internet should go and how to get there.”—Sam Altman, co-founder, OpenAI The internet of today is a far cry from its early promise of a decentralized, democratic network of innovation, connection, and freedom. In the past decade, it has fallen almost entirely under the control of a very small group of companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook. In Read Write Own, tech visionary Chris Dixon argues that the dream of an open network for fostering creativity and entrepreneurship doesn’t have to die and can, in fact, be saved with blockchain networks. He separates this movement, which aims to provide a solid foundation for everything from social networks to artificial intelligence to virtual worlds, from cryptocurrency speculation—a distinction he calls “the computer vs. the casino.” With lucid and compelling prose—drawing from a twenty-five-year career in the software industry—Dixon shows how the internet has undergone three distinct eras, bringing us to the critical moment we’re in today. The first was the “read” era, in which early networks democratized information. In the “read-write” era, corporate networks democratized publishing. We are now in the midst of the “read-write-own” era, sometimes called web3, in which blockchain networks are granting power and economic benefits to communities of users, not just corporations. Read Write Own is a must-read for anyone—internet users, business leaders, creators, entrepreneurs—who wants to understand where we’ve been and where we’re going. It provides a vision for a better internet and a playbook to navigate and build the future. |

framework for investment contract analysis of digital assets: Taxation of Crypto Assets Niklas Schmidt, Jack Bernstein, Stefan Richter, Lisa Zarlenga, 2020-11-27 The emergence of crypto assets has required taxation authorities worldwide to develop unprecedented policies and compelled tax lawyers to apply existing laws in new ways. This book – the only one to focus solely on the taxation of crypto assets – provides a detailed country-by-country analysis of how the tax law of thirty-nine countries may apply to this rapidly developing area, including different use cases and compliance and documentation requirements. Following an overview of the technology and key characteristics of crypto assets, as well as the key tax concepts and types of taxes that could apply to them, leading practitioners in each particular jurisdiction summarize the relevant tax law in that country. Fully explained are such aspects of crypto assets as the following and how they are interrelated: sales; exchanges; receipt as remuneration; forks; airdrops; mining; staking; initial coin offerings; security token offerings; and initial exchange offerings. Contributors describe how each jurisdiction applies income and capital gains taxation, value-added tax and sales tax, withholding taxes, transfer taxes, and gift, inheritance, estate and wealth taxes in the context of crypto assets. Reporting requirements and enforcement are also covered. Tax law, as it applies to crypto assets, is new and continues to evolve. This book will be welcomed as the premier resource for tax practitioners, government officials, advisors, investors, issuers, users of crypto assets, and taxation academics who are seeking informed awareness of the policy choices countries make in dealing with the taxation of this new technology. Tax lawyers dealing with crypto assets will have comprehensive practical guidance on how to comply with the tax laws of multiple jurisdictions. |
framework for investment contract analysis of digital assets: A Critical Appraisal of Initial Coin Offerings Dominika Nestarcova, 2019-09-02 In A Critical Appraisal of Initial Coin Offerings: Lifting the “Digital Token’s Veil”, Dominika Nestarcova examines the regulatory treatment of initial coin offerings (‘ICOs’), a novel form of raising capital, where start-up companies issue blockchain-based assets (‘digital tokens’) to the public in return for a payment. The ICO model promises to utilize blockchain technology to enforce financial contracting via the underlying code, thereby substituting the traditional securities regulation. Dominika Nestarcova provides an in-depth analysis of this promise by examining the nature of digital tokens, the process, underlying benefits and risks to the model and the current state of the ICO regulation with an aim to uncover how the self-regulatory promise offered by ICOs lives up the expectations. |

Remember this authoritative encyclopedic reference is written by the person who developed the world's first commercialized an application of the Principles of 'BlockChain' in Commerce for a peer-to-peer electronic finance system. A body of transmundane knowledge encompassing a variety of knowledge disciplines. Having built it first and having built it right, means - despite being the CEO of a commercial finance sector organization - the Author is more or less under the radar from the scrutiny of the general public due to successful application of the sub-principle effective disintermediation; as such, nobody on Earth has really been afforded an opportunity to look behind the history - in a single, primary source compendium - to see how delicate, comprehensive, complex and beneficial conformity science and the Principles of 'BlockChain', truly are. Not to mention the painstaking diligent years of maintaining the momentum. If you, your family, your company or your country is even thinking about investing limited sovereign resources and valuable time into the Principles of 'BlockChain', crypto-anything, token-anything and related matters (or want to be an authority on the subject), then learn about its origins, its regulatory-scrutinized, litigation-tested commercial applications of the present-day, and its future. Especially if you are (or will be, one day) employed as a Head of State, Legislator, Policymaker, Regulator, Lawyer, member of Top Management (Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or Board Member of a regulated or non-regulated Organization, Academic (student, undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, post-doctoral research), Journalist, Professional Liability Insurer, Investor, Head of a Family Office; or, if you are your normal, everyday person, just curious about the world. This work of scientific-commercial-regulatory-financial literature is both a public service and an introduction to the foundational body of knowledge that led to the discovery of the Principles of 'BlockChain', the birth of binary digit non-bank, non-institutional, non-syndicated, non-regulated or regulatory exempt, free trading securities and related financial instruments; also known as Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow securities and related financial instruments; Binary Digit Financial Instruments or Digital Assets and the Discovery of Conformity Science. It is the foundation of evolutionary digital commerce (a new field of science for the study of the evolutionary (revolutionary, perhaps?) processes related to the discovery of the Principles of 'BlockChain' and production of binary digit financial instruments (digital assets), systems, technologies, services and products. The body of evidence - as you would expect from the creator of a system built on principles that creates trust through transparency, immutability, validation, traceability and verifiability - is itself, traceable, verifiable, immutable and transparent. You will not find this content anywhere else. MQCC is the point of origination. The Bungay Unification of Quantum Processes Algorithm: when Quantum Unification Theory met Commerce. A revolutionary paradigm shift in how commerce is transacted, allowing for realizable quality, conformity and control goals to be achieved; resulting in long term, sustainable inflows of money. And lots of it. If you agree that the Principles of 'BlockChain' offer the utmost level of immutable data (knowledge) veracity, validity, verifiability, transparency, proof and truth; then you will understand the non-trivial implications of this history of the discovery of the Principles of 'BlockChain'. Origin of a Specie™: an authoritative encyclopedic reference that only the discoverer of the world's first globally accessible, regulatory-recognized, regulatory-integrated and regulatory-trusted, commercialized Principles of 'BlockChain'-based system for the trade in non-bank, non-institutional, non-syndicated, non-regulated or regulatory exempt, free trading securities and related financial instruments; also known as Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow securities and related financial instruments (Binary Digit Utility Tokens for Digital Assets), could write. |
framework for investment contract analysis of digital assets: Regulation of Innovative Technologies Rosario Girasa, Gino J. Scalabrini, 2022-06-17 This book explores the regulation of emerging technologies. Developments such as bitcoin (based on blockchain technology), artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and other technical advances have the potential to revolutionize many aspects of everyday life. As with other significant occurrences, especially when coupled by financial rewards, there are the inevitable attempts to reap gains unlawfully. This book examines the legal and regulatory enactments that attempt to undermine the risks to society as well as the dangers to individual freedoms that the technologies present when abused by governmental and non-governmental authorities. Included are discussions of the dangers to the right of privacy posed by facial recognition, physical location tracking, automated license plate recognition (ALPR) and other evolving applications of technology. This book is an invaluable resource for those interested in the regulation of emerging technologies particularly as they relate to blockchain, artificial intelligence, and the most current advances in quantum computing. Emphasis is focused on invasion of privacy, particularly by government authorities, antitrust implications of private companies and the efforts of international entities to counter alleged abuses by them. |

framework for investment contract analysis of digital assets: Building the New Economy Alex Pentland, Alexander Lipton, Thomas Hardjono, 2021-10-12 How to empower people and communities with user-centric data ownership, transparent and accountable algorithms, and secure digital transaction systems. Data is now central to the economy, government, and health systems—so why are data and the AI systems that interpret the data in the hands of so few people? Building the New Economy calls for us to reinvent the ways that data and artificial intelligence are used in civic and government systems. Arguing that we need to think about data as a new type of capital, the authors show that the use of data trusts and distributed ledgers can empower people and communities with user-centric data ownership, transparent and accountable algorithms, machine learning fairness principles and methodologies, and secure digital transaction systems. It’s well known that social media generate disinformation and that mobile phone tracking apps threaten privacy. But these same technologies may also enable the creation of more agile systems in which power and decision-making are distributed among stakeholders rather than concentrated in a few hands. Offering both big ideas and detailed blueprints, the authors describe such key building blocks as data cooperatives, tokenized funding mechanisms, and tradecoin architecture. They also discuss technical issues, including how to build an ecosystem of trusted data, the implementation of digital currencies, and interoperability, and consider the evolution of computational law systems. |

framework for investment contract analysis of digital assets: Corporate Criminal Investigations and Prosecutions Leo R. Tsao, Daniel S. Kahn, Eugene F. Soltes, 2022-09-15 Corporate Criminal Investigations and Prosecutions provides readers a comprehensive understanding of the process behind the investigation, prosecution, and resolution of criminal charges against organizations. Over the past two decades, corporate criminal liability has developed into one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic areas of legal practice. The growth of corporate criminal enforcement has correlated with a broad shift in how the government investigates and resolves corporate criminal violations. As a result of these developments, the practice of investigating, prosecuting, and resolving corporate criminal cases has many significant differences from other areas of criminal or civil law. Notably, one of the most significant aspects that distinguishes corporate criminal practice is that much of it occurs outside of the formal judicial system; nearly all DOJ corporate criminal matters are resolved through negotiated settlements, and very few cases involve court proceedings or go to trial. As a result, many parts of this practice remain relatively unknown to students and practitioners. Until now. With the publication of this book, authors Leo Tsao, Daniel Kahn, and Eugene Soltes, whose resumes collectively reflect the highest levels of practice and expertise in this field, open a window into all aspects of corporate criminal investigations and prosecutions. Professors and students will benefit from: The authors bring a unique perspective and unparalleled qualifications to the subject of corporate criminal liability. Daniel Kahn is the former acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division and former Chief of the Fraud Section and FCPA Unit. Leo Tsao is the former Principal Deputy Chief of the Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section and has held supervisory positions in the Bank Integrity Unit and FCPA Unit within the DOJ’s Criminal Division. Eugene Soltes is a professor at Harvard Business School, and regularly teaches and advises companies on corporate integrity, organizational cultures, and compliance systems. Comprehensive coverage: Part One addresses topics that are generally applicable to all corporate criminal cases, such as the legal principles underlying corporate criminal liability; the individual liability of corporate officers for corporate crimes; and the constitutional rights of criminal corporate defendants—to name a few. Part Two addresses specific categories of federal crimes commonly used to charge corporate defendants, such as conspiracy, the FCPA, the Bank Secrecy Act, antitrust laws, and RICO. Part Two also provides insights into criminal activity and law enforcement within the technology sector as it pertains to virtual currency (e.g., Bitcoin). Extensive online resources include discussion questions, and relevant case material for key chapters |

framework for investment contract analysis of digital assets: Emerging Tools and Strategies for Financial Management Álvarez-García, Begoña, Abeal-Vázquez, José-Pablo, 2020-02-14 Over the past years, significant changes have occurred in the corporate sector arising from globalization, increasing international competitiveness, and intensive use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). These developments have led to new corporate and social behaviors that are affecting the entire corporate value chain. Thus, business organizations are focusing on technological innovation as a driving force of development. Emerging Tools and Strategies for Financial Management is a pivotal reference source that explores both practical and theoretical perspectives on how financial management is evolving and how future consequences of technological innovation will affect individuals, businesses, and society. While highlighting topics such as financial imbalance, venture capital, and shadow banking, this publication explores the relationship between companies and their customers and the methods of generating changes in today’s enterprises. This book is ideally designed for business managers, financial analysts, financial controllers, directors, finance officers, treasurers, entrepreneurs, CEOs, academicians, students, and research professionals. |
framework for investment contract analysis of digital assets: Blockchain Radicals Joshua Dávila, 2023-08-08 Blockchain Radicals uncovers the radical political potential of the blockchain, showing how it can be used by the left in the fight against capitalism. Over the last decade, blockchains and crypto have opened up a new terrain for political action. It is not surprising, however, that the crypto space has also become overrun by unscrupulous marketing, theft and scams. The problem is real, but it isn't a new one. Capitalism has ruined crypto, but that shouldn't be the end of it. Blockchain Radicals shows us how this has happened, and how to fix crypto in a way that is understandable for those who have never owned a cryptocurrency as well as those who are building their own decentralised applications. Covering everything from how Bitcoin saved WikiLeaks to decentralised finance, worker cooperatives, the environmental impact of Bitcoin and NFTs, and the crypto commons, it shows how these new tools can be used to challenge capitalism and build a better world for all of us. While crypto is often thought of as being synonymous with unbridled capitalism, Blockchain Radicals shows instead how the technology can and has been used for more radical purposes, beyond individual profit and towards collective autonomy. |
