Bringing together leading scholars from different jurisdictions, the book explores how emerging technologies are reshaping fundamental areas of law, including property rights, privacy, competition, and financial regulation, while redefining the relationship between markets, technology, and individual rights.
From central bank digital currencies and crypto-assets to AI-driven profiling, digital health data and smart contracts, the work provides a rigorous and interdisciplinary analysis grounded in European and comparative law. Particular attention is devoted to the implications of the MiCA framework, the evolving application of the AI Act, and the growing tensions between decentralisation and market concentration. The volume also addresses key challenges relating to cross-border custody, consumer vulnerability in technologically complex environments, the use of digital assets as collateral, and the need for interoperability and regulatory standardisation. In addition, the contributions examine emerging issues in intellectual property, antitrust and data governance, including the legal protection of voice, health and neuro-data. Combining doctrinal precision with practical insight, this book is conceived as an essential reference for academics, practitioners and policymakers seeking to understand and navigate the rapidly evolving legal landscape of digital assets.
