Digital Currency: An International Legal and Regulatory Compliance Guide
Description: Digital or 'virtual' currencies pose significant challenges for government, financial and legal institutions because of their non physical nature and their relative anonymity to physical currency. These attributes make this form of exchange extremely volatile and, at the same time, attractive to criminals. Many countries around the world have, therefore issued warnings against the use of digital currencies and have enacted laws to regulate and in some cases, restrict their use among members under their respective jurisdictions.
