The Bitcoin boom (or bubble) brought blockchain and distributed ledger technologies into mainstream media coverage. However, blockchain is about far more than Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and ICOs. This ALB virtual masterclass:
Examines the underlying technology and its practical application across a range of economically important sectors and government activities.
Identifies and explores the legal and regulatory issues that must be addressed as blockchain and distributed ledger technology becomes embedded into supply chains and commercial relationships.
Provides specific case studies that include the use of technology to streamline cross-border trade, manufacturing and logistics, and the legal implications of a large-scale hack or cyber attack.

Following publication of that report Malcolm was invited to chair a legal working group to analyse and report on the legal and regulatory implications of blockchain and distributed ledger technology for government and the private sector.
