Blockchain technology continues to be a lively topic of conversation in legal, business and technology circles. This memo focuses on several key topics for companies considering whether and how to invest in blockchain technology, either through acquisition of a particular blockchain, an acquisition of or joint venture with a company developing blockchain technology, or through financial investments in these companies. In doing so, we will also highlight some of the legal and related commercial considerations arising in transactions involving entities in the blockchain “ecosystem.”
