Abstract: Abstract While Bitcoin claimed the title of the world’s first crypto-asset, it was certainly not the last. In this chapter, we will explore how the success of Bitcoin, and a desire to deliver new types of services on public blockchains, led to an explosion in the number and valuation of crypto-assets in the years following its launch. We will provide a brief overview of the state of crypto-assets at the time of writing, consider the various ways in which new assets come into existence, and dedicate particular attention to the sale of new crypto-assets commonly called an initial coin offering.
