Cryptocurrency Claims for Misrepresentation & Breach of Regulatory Duties
Introduction
Few cryptocurrencies have reached scale.
Many investors have lost money.
Kim Kardashian’s Instagram post pushing Ethereum Max was the biggest financial promotion in history and has already led to litigation in the USA.
A combination of existing common law and new regulatory remedies may enable investors to recover their losses in England.
Both developments in the FCA’s rules on financial promotions generally and a specific focus on ‘qualifying crypto-assets’ are likely to provide new opportunities for claims for disappointed holders of crypto-currencies.
This new virtual classroom seminar will address the key issues.
