Aviya Arika, Advocate, Head of Blockchain Innovation Porat & Co. Law.

She professionally entered the online world through online gaming and financial technologies. Before getting into blockchain, Aviya was a legal consultant for online gaming companies as well as for forex brokers, technology providers and payment service providers. When came across the blockchain and cryptocurrencies world, she was immediately enchanted and knew for sure that this is her new focus, and that it’s here to stay.

Aviya advising various blockchain related ventures including cryptocurrency exchanges, ICO projects and crypto funds with regards to legal and regulatory aspects. Her goal is to help her clients and peers sort out the mess and understand which jurisdiction and legal scheme would suit them best. Since she spends a lot of time researching the blockchain market and ecosystem, she dedicates much to understanding what is missing in these sectors, and which markets are worth targeting. Aviya spends most of my time exploring non-legal aspects of blockchain, because she believes that in order to give good legal advice, a deep understanding of the sphere and technology is needed.

Many people outside the industry itself don’t quite grasp that blockchain has become a whole galaxy, not just a planet. Aviya tries to spread the word on the importance of of distinctions between different use-cases of blockchain and cryptocurrencies and of in-depth observation instead of categorization as just an “ICO” or “Cryptocurrency”.

Currently her main research focuses are taxonomy of different tokens types (securities vs. non-securities, work-tokens) and their different legal frameworks, as well as regulatory aspects of cryptocurrency exchanges in the U.S, Canada and various European countries. Although there is great uncertainty, Avia finds this era as an opportunity to think outside of regulatory "boxes" and create new paradigms, to pave the way for the entire industry. This is how she aim to contribute to this brave new blockchain world.
