Overview: This is a book addressing the question of whether the world’s leading financial centres – Hong Kong, London, and New York – engaged in regulatory competition with one another through their formulation of the rules to govern distributed ledger technology (DLT)-based financial products and services in their respective jurisdictions during the period 2008-2022. In light of this, the book furnishes a clear and cohesive framework to understand the influence of regulatory competition in the world’s major financial centres, utilising a narrative lens built on a comparative study of legal, regulatory, and policy instruments. The outcome is an exhaustive and thought-provoking analysis which distils observations regarding the regulation of DLT-based financial products and services and the potential implications for the future regulation of other novel technologies in the financial services industry.
