Item Restricted “Legal Aspects of Cryptocurrency Trading: Between Financial Liberalization and Threat to Economic Stability”(Saudi Digital Library, 2025) Almutairi, Abdulwahab Munif; Nagy, Csongor IstvanThis thesis examines the legality behind the use and trading of cryptocurrencies and various countries attempts to bring them under regulation. The emergence of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin is transforming the way individuals view money, yet it generates numerous legal and monetary issues. The study examines how various jurisdictions, such as Saudi Arabia, the United States, the United Kingdom, China, El Salvador, and the European Union, have developed unique rules on handling cryptocurrencies. There are states in which open policies have permitted crypto, whereas other states have criminalized or banned it to a certain extent. The study refers to cryptocurrencies' most significant threats, including their highly volatile prices, employment in financing illicit activities, and the danger of controlling a nation's currency. It further presents the issue of regulating crypto worldwide, given that the law cannot keep up with the pace of technology. A proposal for a more effective legal framework is one of the essential components of the paper. This involves more precise definitions of what a crypto-asset is, more co-operation between countries, ensuring more user protection, and rules that remain flexible, but still enable emerging technologies to flourish. The paper also discusses the central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and their differences from cryptocurrencies. The thesis proposes that nations collaborate to establish straightforward, equitable, and efficient regulations that govern crypto threats in a manner that enables innovation.26 0Item Restricted Legal implications of digital currency on traditional commercial transactions(Bangor University, 2024) Alshehri, Mohammad; Andrew, BakerThe dissertation examined the legal implications of digital currency integration into traditional commercial transactions and proposed regulatory adaptations to address the connected challenges. The dissertation adopted a secondary research methodology with a doctrinal legal research approach and analysed data from academic journals, industry documents and regulatory reports. The legal aspect of the study, including legislation and case laws, was analysed using the doctrinal legal research method. Thematic analysis of the secondary sources helped to synthesise the findings to respond to the five key research questions on the evolution of UK laws on money digitisation, regulatory challenges and integration into traditional contractual frameworks, implications for consumer protection and regulatory compliance and lastly, policy recommendations. The findings indicated that even though digital currencies are beneficial as they enhance data privacy, are cost-effective and leverage the gains of smart contracts, major challenges like regulatory uncertainty and legal ambiguities remain. The dissertation recommended policies such as establishing guidelines for adaptive regulation, strengthening AML measures, enforcing fair and transparent practices, promoting standards for data privacy and security and launching consumer education programmes. The implications of the study extend to financial institutions, regulators, policymakers and consumers, with the suggestion that digital currency integration into traditional financial systems calls for clear regulatory adaptation. Future research should assess the success of collaborative efforts among stakeholders and analyse the wider economic impacts of digital currency integration21 0
