.

Chapter 3 in Understanding Initial Coin Offerings, 2024, pp 33-66 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter traces the evolution of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) from inception to present. It explores the reasons behind their emergence, their transformation, and their appeal as a fundraising method for start-ups. Key events and developments shaping ICOs are examined alongside a look at associated regulatory issues. The chapter further scrutinizes how various jurisdictions have responded to the challenges posed by ICOs. An assessment of ICOs' impact on the global finance arena and speculation on their future trajectory concludes the discussion. This retrospective and prospective view offers a comprehensive understanding of ICOs' journey and potential future directions.
