Boston College Law School
Welcome to a course where blockchain assets meet law. This course is designed to give the students an understanding of blockchain technology as well as cryptocurrencies and other digital assets, and their interaction with law and the legal practice. The course will explore the legal issues arisen by the innovative business models utilizing peer-to-peer networks and distributed ledger technology. During the course, we will analyze several major cryptocurrency issuances (e.g., Bitcoin and Ether) and the benefits of tokenizing or digitalizing other assets, like gold, art or equity, as well as the business and legal issues connected to trading them. Moreover, students will learn about non-fungible tokens (NFTs), stablecoins and central bank digital currencies.
