My research aims to offer new perspectives on the challenges and legal uncertainties faced by cryptocurrencies. I am particularly interested in the relationships between monetary innovation, regulation and financial crime. I also examine how this relationship has evolved across time. My research takes a historical comparative analysis approach, drawing from archival, qualitative, doctrinal, and socio-legal methodologies.
