The Webinar: Its Background

The pandemic has drastically and surprisingly altered the mode of payment. In just the last few months, we have seen a budding growth of the e-payment companies, and tech giants like WhatsApp entering this market. This trend is also supported by cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, the prices of which are reaching an all-time high. These unparalleled circumstances have created new legal challenges.
