The Lack of Technology Neutrality in Regulation of Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain

Regulators often speak of technology neutral risk-based activity-based regulation. But when it comes to cryptocurrencies and open blockchains, you often find that this question of technology neutrality starts to wear a little thin. So if there's a need for regulation, then we ought to look to other areas where we've seen similar risks. And think about ways that either those tools that we already have can be used, or with some modification that they can be adapted to the new echostructure.
