Webinar | Talking Points - The case of FTX.
What would have happened under German law?
The collapse of the crypto exchange FTX early November has been the most dramatic event in a chain of insolvencies, contributing to decreasing crypto valuations and forming part of the so called “crypto winter”. While new details about the crypto exchange, its affiliates and its notorious founder emerge daily, its legal implications are wide-ranging and complex.
In our webinar we examined the case of FTX from a hypothetical German law perspective in which we look at restructuring aspects as well as relevant civil law and financial regulation issues. We connected the dots between US and German legislation and will responded to those and further questions:
- What has happened and why is this relevant to German law?
- What would German law consequences be if someone like FTX was located in Germany?
- How would crypto assets be protected?
- Does German regulatory law and, in the near future, MiCAR hold a suitable answer to an “FTX scenario”?
