Blockchain, criptomoedas e segurança da informação: análise da Lei nº 14.478/2022 como marco regulatório inicial no ordenamento brasileiro

Abstract

The present undergraduate thesis addresses the theme "Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies, and Information Security: Analysis of Law No. 14.478/2022 as the initial regulatory framework in the Brazilian legal system." The main objective is to explore the various applications and benefits of blockchain technology beyond the scope of cryptocurrencies, examining it from a legal perspective. Originally developed to support the functioning of cryptocurrencies, blockchain is an innovative technology that allows decentralized, transparent, and immutable data recording. In this thesis, we will analyze how this technology has been regulated by the Brazilian legal system. The research will focus on the challenges of adopting blockchain in financial sectors under the umbrella of legal regulation, as well as its ability to enhance the efficiency, security, and transparency of financial processes. Additionally, we will examine the necessary mechanisms to prevent crimes and frauds involving cryptocurrencies, as well as the Brazilian legislative approach to such issues. Through this research, we aim to provide a comprehensive view of the disruptive potential of blockchain and how this technology can transform the way we interact and conduct business in various fields. Moreover, the study aims to contribute to a broader understanding of the importance of blockchain as a powerful tool to drive financial technological innovation.
