Appleby has contributed to the Cayman Islands chapter of
Chambers and Partners' inaugural "Blockchain 2020"
guide. This first edition features 19 jurisdictions and covers key
the topics of cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, initial coin
offerings, non-fungible tokens, tax regimes, data privacy and
protection, mining and staking, and decentralised financial
platforms.
According to Lewis Cohen in an introduction to this first-ever
guide, the "review of the Chambers Guide yields numerous
valuable insights. In terms of business models across the
jurisdictions surveyed, we see a vertiginous diversity.
Unsurprisingly, given the Cayman Islands' longstanding
leadership in the funds space, tokenised funds harnessing the
benefits of blockchain technology have been one of the early
successes."
