The crypto asset and blockchain sector has often been called a
“living laboratory” for its rapid evolution, innovation
and growth. That growth has led to a corresponding increase in
mergers, acquisitions and other strategic transactions, while the
unique and innovative aspects of this sector have required
attorneys advising on these transactions to confront new
challenges.
Many of these involve seeking to apply principles from
transactions in traditional industries to transactions where crypto
assets are often not only the most important asset held by
transaction participants but are also potentially used as
acquisition consideration and incentive compensation for ecosystem
participants.
