One of many articles this week highlighting how one of the year’s biggest ICO's, a $232M token sale by Tezos, is now at risk as the founders get embroiled in a public fight - a good reminder of the risks associated with ICO's.
Tezos’s fundraising in July at that point was the largest initial coin offering, a new type of rapid fundraising that has captured imaginations and rivaled venture capital for technology startups. But a battle between the founders of the company and the head of the Swiss foundation they installed to give it more independence has put most trading of Tezos coins on ice, possibly until early next year. That could alarm investors who were hoping that Tezos might catch on quickly. Sales of digital tokens like Tezos coins have concerned regulators and become a sign for some investors of a bubble in the cryptocurrency world.
