Blockchain and Crypto Law: Stablecoins, GENIUS Act, and Regulation

Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are being increasingly adopted by various industries, including financial services, healthcare, supply chain management, and the legal profession, due to their ability to enhance transparency, reduce costs, and improve security. The global blockchain technology market is projected to be worth between $1.43 trillion and $3.1 trillion by 2030. This growth is driven by increasing demand for secure and transparent transactions across various industries. Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are creating a new area of law, much like the internet created a new area of law in the 1990s. Recent legislation, such as the GENIUS Act, is setting a new legal and regulatory standard. As such, legal professionals must understand the legal implications of blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, and stablecoins.

Legal professionals will learn about Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and recent updates to blockchain technology, as well as legal issues, including recent case decisions, enforcement actions, and proposed and passed legislation. Finally, attendees will also learn about the latest best practices for incorporating blockchain technology into their legal practice.

This course is designed for any attorneys and legal professionals (paralegals, legal researchers, regulators, and legislators) interested in blockchain technologies. This course will be beneficial if participants watch the Blockchain Legal Toolkit Video before attending.
