#11: The challenging world of crypto regulation with Luka Müller and Magdalena Boskic
At its origins, crypto was designed to live outside of government regulation. However, the last decade has seen slow but clear frameworks evolve in regulating with Web3. At the forefront of this evolution has been Luka Mueller (MME) - starting from the set up of the Ethereum foundation in Zug back in 2014. In our new episode, we speak to Luka and Magdalena Boskic (Head of Regtech at Sygnum) about how crypto regulation unfolded and how it continues to evolve as the market grows, covering topics like:
- Early days of crypto regulation: setting up the ETH foundation
- How has regulation in the crypto world evolved since 2017
- Governing the ungovernable: Regulation by definition is a centralized endeavor; How successful can it be in the world of crypto?
- We have seen regulators race to keep up with crypto. But do we perhaps need law 2.0 and not just an update of our aging legal frameworks to cope with the opportunities the technology provides? Are smart contracts the future of legal work?
- Anonymity in crypto: the current political climate has seen crypto be blamed as a vehicle to circumvent sanctions - what do you think?
