University of Leeds School of Law 2021 Liberty Fellowship Address, Regulating Digital Currencies: Central Bank-Sponsored and Stablecoins

Abstract

This Address, given on February 10, 2021, provides a pithy and accessible overview of retail digital currencies and their regulation. It is based on my much lengthier article, “Regulating Digital Currencies: Towards an Analytical Framework” (separately available at http://ssrn.com/abstract=3775136), which examines and critiques the evolving types of retail digital currencies that are likely to become widely used and also analyzes how those currencies should be regulated and supervised.
