Abstract
Reviews and journals are currently revolving the topic of cryptocurrencies, even if, so far, the domain of law has not found the spur to adequately and univocally frame this phenomenon. Nonetheless, the US legal theory is presently debating how to include Bitcoins into pre- existing “regulatory folders”, while the country’s judiciary is dealing with the fi rst cases pertaining to Bitcoins. Th e reaction of the US legal system to this radical technological innovation demonstrates that the operational rules resulting from the joint action of the legal formants may grant a legal system a fi rst response by relying merely on its own legal tools. In light of this, the present article investigates the reactions to Bitcoin and the potentially suitable regulatory frameworks proposed by US legal theory.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
