From Bitcoin, Etherium, and Ripple’s XRP—so-called “utility tokens” used to access financial services—to initial coin offerings that in 2017 rivaled venture capital in money raised for startups, with an estimated $5.6 billion (USD) raised worldwide across 435 Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). All the while, technologists have hailed the underlying blockchain technology for these assets as potentially game-changing applications for financial payments and record-keeping. At the same time, cryptoassets have produced considerable controversy. Many have turned out to be lackluster investments for investors. Others, especially ICOs, have also attracted noticeable fraud, failing firms, and alarming lapses in information sharing with investors. Consequently, many commentators around the world have pressed that ICO tokens be considered securities, and that concomitant registration and disclosure requirements attach to their sales to the public. 000047976 588__ $$aOnline resource 000047976 650_0 $$aCryptocurrencies$$xLaw and legislation 000047976 650_0 $$aCryptocurrencies 000047976 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190077310.001.0001$$yView eBook 000047976 903__ $$aOxford Academic 000047976 904__ $$aJournal article 000047976 980__ $$aOS
