As Matt Levine would put it, blockchain blockchain blockchain — Business Law Prof Blog

The most intriguing part of the paper, however, is where Geis goes further, and inquires whether traceability could cause us to rethink fundamental corporate doctrines.  For example, he points out that fraud-on-the-market doctrine is often criticized because some shareholders may benefit from the fraud – in the form of rising share prices – but do not have to pay any damages if they sell before the crash.  He provocatively suggests that with traceable shares, subsequent purchasers might have claims against the transferors – which might then incentivize selling shareholders to more closely attend to matters of corporate governance.
