The text is edited by Professors Saskia Hufnagel and Colin King of the University of Sydney. This book brings together experts from The Universities of Sydney, Reading, Florence, Bilkent, Southern Denmark and Truman Bodden Law School in Cayman with different jurisdictional focuses to provide fresh ideas and deep insights into crypto regulation.

Andrew’s chapter entitled Regulating virtual asset service providers in the offshore world, focuses on the sound regulatory frameworks required of crypto given the ongoing concerns as to the use of crypto in money laundering and terrorist financing. Andrew outlines Cayman’s commitment to compliance with international standards whilst posing complex regulatory questions as to the standards offshore jurisdictions will be held to in their dealings with Crypto.
