At a pivotal time for the maturing – but still young – cryptocurrency industry, Foley & Lardner LLP surveyed executives and investors to gauge attitudes and perspectives on the use, risks and regulation of cryptocurrencies.

At the same time, while industry insiders are watching a range of potential risks – particularly related to hacking and security breaches – they expressed a willingness to take on risk for the opportunity to invest in or develop cryptocurrency businesses.
