Join The AML Shop Practice Leader Matthew McGuire at the 2022 Canadian Blockchain Consortium’s Alberta Technology Symposium for a panel titled Securities, NFTs and the Changing Regulatory Landscape.

The NFT boom of early 2021 created momentum around blockchain tokens as a powerful way to commoditize assets like art and intellectual property, but the technology’s lightening fast evolution means that NFTs are caught in a regulatory grey area that needs clarity. Consumer and investor protection requires building strong legal and governance policies around token issuances to avoid replicating the disastrous ICO bubble of 2018. The Canadian Blockchain Consortium is joined by industry members and legal experts to shed light on some of the critical issues raised by NFTs and discuss a path forward on market regulation.
