DAO legal reforms in spotlight as UK Law Commission seeks views

11/16 14:48

According to CoinDesk, the U.K.’s Law Commission is looking at how Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) should be treated under the legal system, the latest in a series of forays into digital technologies by the influential body. A consultation published today is looking into questions such as how DAOs, the disparate platforms governed by code which often underpin projects in decentralized finance (DeFi), are structured and governed, and how they comply with obligations like taxes, money laundering and the corporate reporting. “DAOs are said to offer multiple benefits to market participants… yet their legal and regulatory status is unclear,” said Law Commissioner Sarah Green in a statement. “Our work will aim to build consensus on the best ways of describing the constituent elements of DAOs and to highlight ways in which the law of England and Wales might foster their development.”
