Their defining features of ‘decentralised’ and ‘disintermediated’ introduce significant governance and legal risks. By operating through decentralised ledger technologies (DLT) and other emerging systems, DAOs not only increase cybersecurity vulnerabilities but also present legal risks. DAOs have facilitated capital raising, notably through initial coin offerings (ICOs), and have also functioned as mechanisms for ‘monetary’ stabilisation. These developments highlight the need to reassess regulatory assumptions and adapt legal frameworks to the evolving nature of digital organisations. DAOs have catalysed a new wave of legal studies in organisational law, financial regulation, property law, and private international law. They operate at the intersection of technology, finance, and law, prompting a new wave of legal scholarship in financial regulation, property law, organisational law, and private international law. As these programmable/code-based organisational structures challenge traditional legal forms, a coherent regulatory and conceptual paradigm is needed to ensure trust and safety in this emerging digital space.About the speakerDr Joseph Lee Nazzini is a Reader in Corporate and Financial law at the University of Manchester School of Law.
