Blockchain technology holds vast potential that can only be unleashed with regulatory backing. The potential, initially perceived only by a small circle of cryptography enthusiasts, is now recognised by central banks, governments, and major financial institutions.Smart contracts and decentralised autonomous organisations can change the legal system as we know it while generating new models for the economy.
 
We hope that the articles in this report provide inspiration for a broader debate on the measures that should be taken to encourage growth of blockchain-based technologies. It is a technology harnessing huge potential, but it cannot be unleashed without the support of regulations.
