    Bitcoin: (Your) Tender of the Future?

  • Bitcoin is on the rise. While businesses increasingly accept the virtual coin, new initiatives emerge featuring Bitcoin services. The boost in Bitcoin's popularity might leave your business with some questions.

    What is Bitcoin? May I accept this virtual coin as legal tender and am I allowed to offer (payment) services with Bitcoin?

    Our Innovative Payments team looks at Bitcoin from different legal angles. Financial law is a major one of those angles. We have a great deal of knowledge and expertise with virtual currencies, and as one of the first have kept track of (legal) developments in the field for quite some time. Meanwhile our specialists have advised several companies on the application of Bitcoin and its legal snags and catches.

    We will be happy to help you examine how to use Bitcoin within your organisation and the legal aspects that come into play. For more information, please contact Jelmer Baukema.
