Cryptoast – 05.09.2020.

As part of the series of podcasts on decentralised finance organised by Cryptoast, Alexandre Lourimi and William O’Rorke were questioned on the legal aspects of this new crypto sector. 

In this podcast, our partners talk about : 

• liability of smart contract and protocol developers; 
• legal risks, particularly in the context of hacking; 
• criminal risk, in case of exit scam, etc. 

Finally, they highlight the grey areas regarding the taxation applicable to DeFi income (farming, lending, staking, etc.) – on which the firm regularly works – and underline the advantage available to French users since crypto-crypto transactions have been fiscally neutralised.
