The ICO model promises to utilize blockchain technology to enforce financial contracting via the underlying code, thereby substituting the traditional securities regulation. Dominika Nestarcova provides an in-depth analysis of this promise by examining the nature of digital tokens, the process, underlying benefits and risks to the model and the current state of the ICO regulation with an aim to uncover how the self-regulatory promise offered by ICOs lives up the expectations". 410 0$aBrill Research Perspectives. 606 $aCryptocurrencies 606 $aElectronic funds transfers 606 $aFinance$xTechnological innovations 606 $aSecurities 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCryptocurrencies. 615 0$aElectronic funds transfers. 615 0$aFinance$xTechnological innovations. 615 0$aSecurities. 676 $a737.409 700 $aNestarcova$b Dominika$01054869 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910493210303321 996 $aA critical appraisal of initial coin offerings$92487841 997 $aUNINA
