Event Synopsis: Growth in the popularity and use of Bitcoin and other virtual currencies has sparked discussions about the risks and legal issues surrounding this emerging technology. In 2014 the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued a “Consumer Advisory” alerting consumers to risks related to crypto-currencies and established the capability to take consumer complaints relating to use of these products. The Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) also issued various bulletins and guidance relating to, among other things registration requirements for certain virtual currency providers. In addition, a number of state banking and finance departments have issued guidance or proposed regulations for the sale and use of virtual currencies. Our panel of key thought leaders and practitioners, assembled by The Knowledge Group, will provide a general introduction to Bitcoin and virtual currency, discuss the major risks facing consumers and regulators, and examine key state and federal regulatory developments affecting virtual currency companies.
