Blockchain In The Metaverse – On Tokens, Coins, And The International Regulatory Challenges Ahead

You don’t have to rename your company to get in on the trend that everyone is talking about as the future evolution of the Internet as we’ve gotten used to it. More immersive, more all-encompassing, the Metaverse, as a concept, is rife with opportunities for anyone with a digital business model. The ways we will interact and transact digitally, and in which we acquire and use real and digital property, are being reshaped by new technologies.

Tune in for the next edition of our IHC Deep Dives Series, as Karima Lachgar, Felix Hilgert and Emily Barwell of international legal practice Osborne Clarke, will take you through the basics of Metaverses and their general regulation in Europe, the role of NFTs for industries as diverse as fashion and real estate, and the myriad of financial regulations and tax considerations applicable to blockchain-based digital currencies.

Discuss topics include:

– How current iterations of the Metaverse idea are regulated abroad

– The role of digital property in developing metaverse cultures, and the associated legal challenges

– Mining, Staking and other terms that don’t mean what you think they do

– The different approaches of the EU and individual Member States to blockchain regulation and taxation
