The American Arbitration Association (AAA), one of the world’s largest providers of private dispute-resolution services, has launched a specialist panel for blockchain and digital-asset cases. The new Web3 Panel brings together arbitrators with expertise across law, technology, academia, litigation and digital-asset businesses. It is designed to address disputes arising from increasingly automated and decentralized commercial systems, including contract interpretation, governance, asset control, cybersecurity, transaction records and cross-border enforcement.
