Aponte X: The Biggest Transfer Of Wealth

The Biggest Transfer Of Wealth

In The Age Of Cryptocurrency

This book explores how blockchain-based digital assets, particularly Bitcoin, are disrupting traditional financial and audit environments by introducing new levels of complexity and transparency. It presents the Assertion-Based Audit Framework (BTC_AF), a structured, International Standards on Auditing-aligned methodology that enables auditors to obtain reliable and re-performable evidence directly from the Bitcoin blockchain. By leveraging blockchain’s core features—cryptographic integrity, immutability, and decentralization—the framework enhances audit quality, consistency, and stakeholder confidence. Developed through a design science approach and validated in real-world scenarios, BTC_AF addresses critical assurance challenges such as asset existence, rights, valuation, and custody. This pioneering work bridges the gap between blockchain technology and professional auditing, laying the groundwork for auditing other emerging digital asset classes.

A Framework for Digital Asset Assurance

Auditing Bitcoin

Equips legal professionals and stakeholders with a clear, authoritative, and practical guide to the UK legal treatment of digital payments and tokenised assets. The Law of Digital Payments explores the evolving landscape of UK financial law as it adapts to innovations in digital finance. With fintech disrupting traditional models of value exchange, legal professionals must navigate complex regulatory challenges concerning digital wallets, open banking APIs, smart contracts, decentralised finance (DeFi), and the treatment of tokenised assets under common law. This work delves into how UK courts and regulators are addressing these innovations. It provides clarity on the current legal treatment of payment tokens, security tokens, cryptoassets and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). It also investigates the impact of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023, the Bank of England's stance on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and how the Payment Services Regulations and E-Money Regulations are applied to innovative business models. Drawing upon regulatory guidance, case law, and international developments, the book is designed to help practitioners, regulators, academics, and financial institutions understand and navigate the complex intersection of law and digital finance. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Banking and Finance Law online service.

The Law of Digital Payments

Routledge Studies in Public Economics and Finance

The emergence of blockchain technologies has unlocked a myriad of possibilities for reshaping governance systems, from the grassroots level of micro-governance to the broader scope of national and transnational governance. In an era marked by persistent governance challenges, there is a profound desire for governance that is optimal, inclusive, participatory, and efficient across various scales of analysis, all of which might be improved by the adoption of distributed ledger technology. However, the adoption of blockchain for governance purposes, particularly in public governance, lags behind other applications such as cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance. What impedes this adoption? Are existing governance systems deemed sufficient by key stakeholders? Is inertia or cost hindering the transformation through blockchain innovations? Or has the potential of blockchain in public governance been overstated?This book aims to address these questions comprehensively by leveraging the expertise of interdisciplinary scholars who undertake a holistic examination of the role, potential, and limitations of blockchain technologies in public governance. Through conceptual frameworks, real-world case studies, and forward-looking insights, the book navigates towards more optimal outcomes, soliciting stakeholder inputs and refining concepts along the way. By presenting diverse perspectives from various disciplinary angles, including public administration, public policy, computer science, economics, philosophy, and innovation governance, the book offers valuable insights for a wide-ranging audience of scholars and practitioners alike.

Public Governance on the Blockchain

"It stands alone in its field not only due to its comprehensive coverage, but also its original methodology." - American Journal of Comparative Law (review of the 1st edition) Volume 3 of this new edition deals with the transnationalisation of contract law. It compares common law and civil law concepts, noting the origin of the one in commercial law and of the other in consumer law, and identifies the different attitudes to protection, risk management, and risk distribution. The volume also explores future directions in international commerce and finance, as well as the potential, effects, and challenges of e-commerce, blockchain, and the emergence of the smart contract. This magisterial work is made up of 6 volumes. Used independently, each volume allows the reader to delve into a particular topic. Alternatively, all volumes can be read together for a comprehensive overview of transnational comparative commercial, financial and trade law.

Künstliche Intelligenz in der Bau- und Immobilienwirtschaft

A dazzling exploration of the phenomenon of prediction betting markets that asks: what happens when democracy becomes another commodity? For many, Donald Trump's decisive election victory over Kamala Harris in 2024 was a shock. Traditional polls had the race on a razor's edge. But, for those with eyes on prediction betting markets, a very different story was being told. In recent years, prediction markets have swept the world, fundamentally changing the nature of the gambling market, and making their youthful pioneers billionaires. Posed as binary 'Yes/No' questions about future events, prediction bets allow any difference of opinion - whether on politics, wars, assassinations or popular culture - to be financialised. But are these markets really a new phenomenon? What does it mean when markets get closer to the truth than the institutions we built to protect us? And what happens when those tasked with safeguarding democracy possess financial stakes in its volatility? From Renaissance Rome, where merchants wagered on papal conclaves, through London coffee house gossip during the Napoleonic Wars, to the Pentagon's ill-fated terrorism futures exchange, The Big Bet describes the full five-hundred-year arc of a permissive regime which no one designed and no one voted for. Drawing on deep expertise, Michael Auerbach examines how these markets are changing our world, and what they mean for the future of our democratic self-governance. Because they are not an anomaly - they are the logical endpoint of a society that has applied market capitalism to every aspect of life. And in a world when everything is a wager and nothing is off limits, knowing where the chips will fall matters more than ever.

Islamic Business and Finance Series

This book focuses on recent developments in financial technology: specifically, how FinTech affects the Islamic finance industry. It examines the challenges of Shariah compliance and explores opportunities for riba-free finance.The book describes contemporary FinTech solutions, investigating their relation to Islamic financial institutions. It outlines the current status of Islamic FinTech, arguing that it can provide Shariah-compliant innovative financial services to bridge the gap and compete with or complement conventional finance. Islamic FinTech can play a transformational role in making Islamic finance more accessible to a wide range of audiences and can also support the SME sector, which has been significantly impacted by the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. First, the book addresses thematic issues in Islamic finance, including its role in poverty eradication, elevating SMEs, and the Islamic digital economy. Second, it examines Shariah-compliant instruments in Islamic finance. The final part encompasses the risk profile of Islamic finance products and explores mitigation strategies. The book simultaneously presents theories, practice, and key issues, introducing new ideas and perspectives to the Islamic banking and financial community. The primary audience for the book will be researchers and scholars of Islamic economics and finance, and it will also appeal to practitioners and regulatory bodies.

Islamic Finance in the Modern Era

This book explores the theory-practice gap in applying blockchain to land registries by examining four case studies (Sweden, Georgia, Ghana, and India) where blockchain-based land registry initiatives have been implemented or piloted. Through comparative analysis, it identifies recurring legal, institutional, and infrastructural barriers that have hindered progress, as well as enabling conditions that have supported partial success. Designed for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in land governance, legal reform, and digital transformation, this study contributes to the growing literature on blockchain in public administration. It moves beyond theoretical promises to assess how and under what conditions blockchain can meaningfully support land administration reform in diverse global contexts.

Land registries are foundational institutions, intended to ensure legal certainty, facilitate property transactions, and reduce disputes. Yet in many jurisdictions, they remain plagued by inefficiency, opacity, and limited public trust. While blockchain technology has been widely proposed as a remedy - offering transparency, immutability, and decentralization - empirical evidence on its actual impact remains scarce.

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERThe world's criminals earn trillions every year. They keep almost all of it. Every effort to stop them has failed. Why? Join Oliver Bullough through the looking glass, voyaging through the dark heart of the global economy: where flows of dirty banknotes, designer goods and baby eels prop up illicit networks spanning from Miami to Shanghai - via, strangely, North Oxfordshire. Cryptocurrencies flow through ledgers that would look familiar to a fifteenth-century Florentine banker. Casinos, lottery tickets and government ignorance all power the merry-go-round of dirty money. And it all works brilliantly. Better than ever. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.

This book provides a commentary on the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR), a game-changing EU regulation for crypto-assets and crypto-asset services. Directly applicable in all EU Member States, MiCAR serves as a benchmark for future regulation in other jurisdictions, influencing rulemaking and crypto industry around the world. In this book, leading experts in the fields of financial law, regulation and technology examine the goals, rules and operation of MiCAR. The book explores its provisions in the broader context of current market practices, technological developments, existing financial law instruments (eg MiFID II, Prospectus Regulation, Crowdfunding Regulation and Market Abuse Regulation), court cases (eg the bankruptcies of FTX and Celsius), regulatory initiatives in the USA and the UK, as well as soft law instruments. The book is designed for anyone dealing with crypto-assets or considering entering the crypto space. This includes representatives from legal and business communities, both incumbent (banks, investment firms, investment funds) and new market players (crypto exchanges, wallet service providers, issuers of stablecoins), supervisory authorities, students and academics. The reader will gain a deep understanding of the scope and structure of MiCAR, key terms used in it, its rationale, and the main rules for issuers of crypto-assets, crypto-asset service providers and crypto-asset services.
