My research focuses on crypto-assets, asset segregation and the protection of clients of crypto-asset service providers under MiCAR.

I examine the interaction between European financial regulation and Dutch private law. In doing so, I take account of the technical and operational features of holding and administering crypto-assets, such as wallets, private keys, on-chain and off-chain record-keeping, sub-custody and staking.

A central focus is insolvency: what happens to client positions when a crypto-asset service provider becomes insolvent?
