You could do some more research about GLBSE and aspects of fundraising for startups with bitcoins Wink

Good luck !

I would love some good research about stock/bond exchanges using btc.

I'm most interested in people listing assets on and those running the exchange. The contracts used on existing exchanges seem very fussy and incomplete. A lack of research and clear laws on the mater are probably a major reasons for that.

https://glbse.com/
https://cryptostocks.com/
https://www.litecoinglobal.com/

Broad request and I'm not sure if this falls under your requirements but there must be some new legal issues to be found related to those.

If not, maybe p2p exchanges based on the bitcoin protocol where there is no regulator or exchange manager but just issuers. Colored coins is probably closed description atm:

I made a similar request a little over a year ago. I ultimately decided to focus on anonymity. See: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/available-for-download-academic-legal-paper-re-bitcoin-anonymity-40783

Hi everyone.  I originally posted this in the Newbie forum, but now that I'm free of that, I can post it here:

I am a law student in the United States, and I work on my school's Law Review, which is an academic legal publication.  We are required to write an article on an unresolved legal issue, and BitCoin seems like it could possibly present some novel legal issues.

It turns out someone has already written on the general legality of BitCoin (which is questionable).  If anyone is interested in that, the following link has a copy of the article:

http://hstlj.org/articles/bitcoin-an-innovative-alternative-digital-currency/2/

I was wondering if anyone is curious about any other legal issues that BitCoin presents.  It would help me with my article, and I would provide the BitCoin community with thorough, well-researched legal information.  Naturally I will post a copy of the article on this website when it's written.

Keep in mind that I'm restricted to writing about US law.  Any and all suggestions/comments are appreciated.

So if anyone is curious about any specific legal issues that BitCoin presents (aside from general legality, which is covered in the above-linked article), please suggest them here.
