In a video (15′), I discuss two recent judgements, one French and one English, that deal with property law aspects of Bitcoins. These precedents matter for the proprietary protection of the holder of Bitcoins and the question who is entitled to the fruits of Bitcoins.
The full text of both judgements discussed, as well as the legal statement by the LawTech Delivery Panel referred to in the presentation, can be downloaded via Distributed Ledger Law, where this video was first featured.
This presentation is part of an online seminar FinTech, Governance and Sustainability: Legal Obstacles and Regulatory Challenges.
