Abstract
Initial coin offerings (ICOs) are becoming a popular business tool to raise capital, particularly for start-ups. However, along with the opportunities provided by ICOs is the increasing exposure of businesses to the risks of manipulation and fraud in the market. Thus, consequent to its rapid growth and increasing fraudulent activities, regulatory agencies are intensifying their focus on the ICO market.
Regulators and legislators are still catching up with rapid ICO developments, resulting to uncertain regulatory landscape for both ICO issuers and secondary market players.
In this live webcast, a seasoned panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group will present an in-depth analysis of the recent enforcement issues in ICO. Speakers will also provide the audience with the best compliance practices and practical tips in avoiding regulatory pitfalls.
Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:
• Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) – Overview and Statistics
• ICO Business Opportunities
• Recent Regulatory Trends and Developments
• Common Legal Risks and Issues
• Best Compliance Practices
• What Lies Ahead
