Nik will discuss the role of crypto exchanges, in particular in light of the recent Law Commission of England and Wales’ Digital Assets Final Report of June 2023. He will examine the question of what it means if crypto exchanges hold crypto for customers, and in particular whether possessory remedies should be available against such exchanges, and if not what equitable or contractual remedies are available. He has been involved in several of the cases which the Law Commission’s report highlights in this area, as well as being instructed by the Bahamian Joint Provisional Liquidators of FTX Digital Markets Ltd (the only regulated entity in the FTX group). The seminar will also be relevant to those considering issues arising from the insolvency of crypto exchanges.
