Initial Coin Offerings
Investors who want to set up an Initial Coin Offerings (ICO)
Despite early misconceptions, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology do not exist outside of the laws and regulations of the United States. On a near-daily basis, we are bombarded with news about civil suits, class actions, and SEC Administrative orders being initiated against cryptocurrency founders and blockchain developers. However, many of the issues now being faced by cryptocurrency companies could have been avoided by working with an attorney familiar with cryptocurrency and blockchain technology and the regulatory landscape they inhabit.
Call us today to discuss how we can help you structure an initial coin offering in a manner that allows you to obtain the capital your business needs and ensure you comply with the myriad of disclosure requirements and filing obligations imposed by the SEC and the respective state agencies.
While we believe everyone conducting an ICO should do so with the help of an experienced cryptocurrency attorney, we have come to understand that many projects may not have shared this belief. If you have conducted or are currently conducting an ICO without the guidance of an experienced cryptocurrency attorney, we would be happy to discuss the current exposure and the steps we can take to mitigate these risks.
