Resumo
Crypto-assets are digital assets that may depend on cryptography and exist on a distributed ledger or similar technology. In the absence of a common and widely accepted taxonomy, we first try to characterise crypto-assets and differentiate them from goods fulfilling the three essential functions of money: medium of exchange, unit of account and store of value. We then analyse the (lack of) legislation applied to crypto-assets, before concluding with the
identification of the associated main risks.
