Understanding the Privacy Limitations of Blockchain: Recent Court Rulings

Brief news summary

Blockchain technology is often seen as a means to improve privacy and confidentiality; however, recent federal appellate court decisions have raised questions about this assumption, leading to a reassessment of conventional views and constitutional safeguards. In the article titled "Blockchain’s Fourth and Fifth Amendment Privacy Paradoxes," legal analyst Robert A. Schwinger explores the crucial link between blockchain and privacy rights, as featured in the New York Law Journal. Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP, a Texas-based limited liability partnership, operates through subsidiaries such as Norton Rose Fulbright LLP, which functions independently within the Norton Rose Fulbright Verein in Switzerland. The firm emphasizes collaboration among members rather than direct legal service delivery. With a robust global presence in major cities like Amsterdam, Hong Kong, and São Paulo, Norton Rose Fulbright is well-prepared to tackle complex legal challenges at the intersection of blockchain technology and privacy rights. © 2025 Norton Rose Fulbright.

Blockchain is often viewed as a mechanism for ensuring confidentiality and privacy. However, two federal court of appeals rulings from late last year demonstrate the limitations of this expectation, particularly when considering federal constitutional safeguards. In this edition of his New York Law Journal blockchain law column, Robert A. Schwinger discusses these recent developments.
