Bridging the Gap Between Traditional and Decentralized Markets

Abstract

Can traditional markets and avenues for raising capital be reconciled with the ICO, the red hot, emerging method of raising business capital? Since the SEC announcement in July 2017, ICO issuers have been caught in the upheaval of viral popularity, undefined regulation, and rapidly advancing technology with blockchain and cryptocurrencies, leaving the traditional capital markets awash with questions. In this talk, CEO of iComplyICO Matthew Unger shares his perspective on the nature of the finance industry and his predictions for how ICOs will revolutionize fundraising in the years to come.
