This episode of The School of Law Podcast from the University of Aberdeen delves into the legal dimensions of crypto assets and blockchain technology. Dr. Alisdair MacPherson and Professor Burcu Yüksel Ripley discuss how crypto assets challenge traditional legal concepts of property, regulation, and financial transactions. The conversation covers the regulatory gaps, the treatment of crypto assets under English and Scots law, and the broader legal implications of decentralised systems like blockchain.
