Description

Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) have become an attractive new option for startups raising capital. But the technology and limited regulation that make ICOs popular also make the SEC view them as risky vehicles for investors, raising the question: When does an ICO constitute a security subject to SEC regulation? Join us for this all-new webcast as experienced securities lawyers examine Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and offer strategies to navigate risks and responsibilities in representing organizations that wish to raise capital using ICOs. Topics to be discussed include: • Background—use of cryptocurrency to raise capital, rise of ICOs • How to identify whether an ICO is regulated by the SEC • If the ICO represents a security, what SEC regulations apply? • SEC enforcement trends • Best practices to foster innovation yet provide investor protection
