Aponte X: The Biggest Transfer Of Wealth

The Biggest Transfer Of Wealth

In The Age Of Cryptocurrency

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

This book is the first investigation of the relationship between EU digital sovereignty and sustainability strategies. It maps the ambitions and limitations of EU digital strategic autonomy and explores the structural challenges underlying its relationship with its green transition objectives in the context of the ongoing wars in neighbouring European countries and the consequent tensions in the EU energy sector. The EU is racing to achieve technological independence from third countries and foreign multinational companies to protect its digital sovereignty and preserve its fundamental rights. In the EU, digitalisation and the green transformation are seen as twin transitions. Yet, EU digital sovereignty strategies have a significant environmental cost. Reaching a status of strategic autonomy of the EU at the level of digital infrastructures, products, services and data implies higher energy consumption and exploitation of natural resources. Moreover, the geopolitical tensions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine have provoked an unprecedented energy crisis, which is affecting EU economies and impacting objectives of the twin transitions. The book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the major EU regulatory and policy instruments in this field, providing an invaluable guide for academics, practitioners, and policymakers navigating the complex issues of preserving digital sovereignty and addressing climate change in times of war and energy crisis.

EU Challenges in Times of War and Energy Crisis

Digital Sovereignty and the Green Transition

An award-winning economic journalist on why the US dollar is positioned to maintain global primacy—and what that means for America and the world &nbsp; “Magisterial.”—Edward Chancellor, Reuters &nbsp; Prophecies that the dollar will lose its status as the world’s dominant currency have echoed for decades—and are increasing in volume. Cryptocurrency enthusiasts claim that Bitcoin or other blockchain-based monetary units will replace the dollar. Foreign policy hawks warn that China’s renminbi poses a lethal threat to the greenback. And sound money zealots predict that mounting US debt and inflation will surely erode the dollar’s value to the point of irrelevancy. &nbsp; Contra the doomsayers, Paul Blustein shows that the dollar’s standing atop the world’s currency pyramid is impregnable, barring catastrophic policy missteps by the US government. Recounting how the United States has wielded the dollar to impose devastating sanctions against adversaries, Blustein explains that although targets such as Russia have found ways to limit the damage, Washington’s financial weaponry will retain potency long into the future. His message, however, is that America must not be complacent about the dollar; the great power that its supremacy confers comes with commensurate responsibility.

The Digital Takeover

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.

"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.

HARD MONEY Das BITCOIN Zeitalter

Hart Studies in Commercial and Financial Law

The 2nd edition of this acclaimed book provides an updated analysis of the developments in the onchain crypto economy, crypto industries and regulatory reforms in key jurisdictions, focusing on the EU and UK. The onchain crypto economy has grown to cater for niche activities such as digital art, gaming and Decentralised Finance, while crypto service providers have innovated significantly on financialising the crypto economy for access and participation. This area has attracted much financial regulation, and the book provides the first and leading comparative account, especially between the EU's and UK's regulatory frameworks. The book's key argument is that financial regulatory approaches have been path dependent and limited in terms of regulatory innovation, engaging mostly with crypto service providers who have offchain relationships with crypto asset holders, avoiding many issues pertaining to onchain transactions and activities. The regulatory approaches are an incomplete picture and are limited in providing an enabling framework for the crypto economy. The 2nd edition continues to adhere to the extension of 'regulatory capitalism' to the crypto economy and argues that appropriate and innovative regulation can be enabling for innovative productivities in this alternative economic space. It critically explores the achievements and drawbacks of the primacy of financial regulation for the crypto economy, especially with its current limitations. It also offers proposals and normative perspectives for constructively regulating the crypto economy.

Business Transformations and Financialisation

Regulating the Crypto Economy

This book focuses on four key parts of the Blockchain ecosystem, which are the most relevant for financial services executives: Tokenomics and Digital Platforms, Markets, Privacy and the emerging phenomenon of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).

Tokenomics and Digital Platforms explores some of the key tenants of distributed ledger technology. Markets introduces important dynamics of both centralized (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). Privacy describes the cryptographic primitives that enable safe, blockchain-based digital transactions, perhaps the most critical infrastructure for global adoption of Web3. The last part of the book on DAOs highlights benefits but also risks and boundaries of the emerging new form of organization.

Each part is introduced in a short chapter to set the stage, followed by the contributions of selected scholars. The chapters explain not only what the phenomenon in question is, but also what the associated opportunities and risks are. They highlight what practitioners can do with the insight their research provides.

All chapters are short, easy-to-read, and tailored to the practitioners who need to understand these topics but whose busy schedule doesn’t allow for enough time to read full academic articles to do so.
