Professor Carol Goforth‘s new book, Regulation of Cryptoassets (2nd edition), with Professor Yuliya Guseva from Rutgers Law School is now live as a new resource for educators, experienced practitioners, students, and others wanting to learn and teach about crypto assets and how they are regulated.
Carol Goforth is a University Professor and the Clayton N. Little Professor of Law at the University of Arkansas (Fayetteville) Law School, where she is also a member of the Academic Faculty Network at the Sam M. Walton College of Business Blockchain Center of Excellence. She also serves on the board of advisors to Honeycomb Digital Investments and is an elected member of the American Law Institute
Yuliya Guseva is a Professor of Law at Rutgers Law School, where she serves as the Head of the Fintech and Blockchain Research Program. The Program is engaged in multidisciplinary blockchain and fintech research, as well as a curriculum- and project-based set of activities designed to advance engagement and research on blockchain, cryptocurrency, fintech, and related subjects. Yuliya is Vice Dean of Rutgers Law School.
The Blockchain Center of Excellence is continually impressed with the remarkable work from the desk of our Academic Faculty Advisor, Professor Carol Goforth. But, here is what others have said about this project:
Joseph Grundfest, the W.A. Franke Professor of Law and Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research and former Commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission, has said that the first edition was “the best text on securities regulation of cryptoassets,” and that he “can’t recommend this book highly enough.” He characterizes it as his “go to recommendation when people want a text to read.”
Donald Langevoort, the Thomas Aquinas Reynolds Professor of Law at Georgetown Law Center, has not only said that the first edition helped him teach the subject to his securities regulation students, he has characterized this book as “essential” to teaching crypto in this ever-changing field.
Distinguished practitioners have also recommended the book. Lewis Cohen, a founder of DLX, one of the leading blockchain legal practices in the United States, is a frequent public speaker on the topic of blockchain and financial markets and was recently named as one of three top-ranked lawyers in the blockchain space by leading independent firm, Chambers & Partners. He has said that he is “certain that this [book] will be the go-to resource for educators around the country for years to come.”
Professors Goforth and Guseva hope this 2022 edition will be a great resource for practitioners, scholars, and students. It covers a broad range of subject areas, including securities law, commodity and derivatives regulation, payment systems treatment, taxation, international law, and other topics essential to crypto.
