Blockchain is considered one of the most revolutionary technologies of our time and undoubtedly has great potential to drive simplicity and efficiency through new infrastructures and processes. For financial service providers and start-up companies in particular, the new technology creates completely new business and financing opportunities.
Regulators and international standard setters are currently looking intensively at the economic and legal/regulatory treatment of initial coin offerings (ICOs), cryptocurrencies and trading platforms.
