Cryptocurrency regulatory issues in Australia, Malaysia and Indonesia
Monash Business School and Monash University Malaysia present a joint webinar on cryptocurrency regulation in our region.
What are the differing approaches of governments and regulators in Malaysia, Australia and Indonesia to this rapidly developing and often challenging landscape?
Among the issues being grappled with are the very nature of cryptocurrency, regulatory options, law enforcement and taxation.
An often overlooked aspect includes the environmental impact of carbon emissions produced by ‘mining’ for some cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.
Hear from Monash Malaysia’s Associate Professor Evgeny Guglyuvatyy and Dr Ridoan Karim and financial regulation expert Associate Professor Michael Duffy, from Monash Business School’s Business Law and Taxation Department. Also presenting is Yayan Riyanto, a Monash PhD candidate and Indonesian tax expert.
