Description

Blockchain opens opportunities in a data-driven society. A prerequisite is building ‘trust in codes’ to support businesses across financial transactions, data exchange, identification, and decision-making. However, the media continuously introduces the friction of blockchain with several century-old regulations. Therefore, the PDW suggests three features of the blockchain architecture incompatible with the regulatory framework: decentralization, industrial multiplicity, and cross-borderness. Furthermore, the PDW discusses re-balancing between transparency and privacy, innovation and customer, and international and jurisdiction; and defining the legally responsible persons and the government’s intervening in the algorithm. Finally, the PDW will expand information systems theories to regulations from socio-economic-technological views.

Challenges and Solutions to Reimagining the Regulations for Blockchain

Blockchain opens opportunities in a data-driven society.
