News Corner
This news corner is about decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and their legal status. Currently, DAOs have no legal status in most jurisdictions, but some lawyers are optimistic about the concept as a movement for the modernization of the corporate world. The Howey Test is not used by the Cayman and British Virgin Islands legal system, which is seen as a favorable jurisdiction for DAOs to operate. However, if a DAO is not wrapped into a corporate shell, it could be viewed as a general partnership and individuals involved could be held liable for the actions of the DAO. Despite the challenges, many lawyers are optimistic about the future of DAOs as a new way of organizing businesses.
