Over the past few months, Chinese regulators have taken steps to update the country’s cybersecurity framework, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence (AI) safety and clarifying incident reporting obligations for onshore infrastructure.

Among the many concerns arising from the increasing prevalence of cryptocurrency are the problems and risks associated with the fact that the liquidity and value of cryptocurrencies fluctuate over time. To illustrate the kinds of liability risks this fluctuation can lead to, Sarah Abrams, Head of Claims Baleen Specialty, a division of Bowhead Specialty, reviews a recent set of circumstances in which Stoli Group USA, LLC sought to settle a secured debt liability by payment of another kind of alternative asset with fluctuating valuation – in this case, 35,000 barrels of unfinished bourbon.
