## Description

Panel discussion held at the European Blockchain Convention Virtual 2020. 

Blockchain’s key characteristics present challenges (but also opportunities) to the existing legal and regulatory framework. 

We live in a world where centralized governance and control is the norm. The vast majority of countries’ laws and regulations envision centralized businesses or structures with a singular seat of control and responsibility. Deviating from this arrangement poses a challenge from a legal and regulatory perspective and raises enforcement issues
