⚠ In recent years, economic sanctions have become an increasingly important U.S. foreign policy tool and the digital asset industry has become a key focus of sanctions regulators and prosecutors.  Regulators and courts have been clear that U.S. economic sanctions laws apply to digital assets, but a number of questions remain regarding the application of economic sanctions to certain digital asset contexts, and the nature of blockchain technology can create complex compliance challenges that are not present in the fiat context. The 2025 edition of Global Legal Insights - Blockchain & Cryptocurrency explores the background of U.S. economic sanctions generally, how those sanctions have been applied to digital assets, provides a summary of key sanctions enforcement actions in the digital asset industry and discusses compliance expectations and challenges specific to the industry, authored by Dave Stetson, Evan Abrams, Andrew Adams and Sophia Breggia of Steptoe LLP.
