At the end of 2017, many people saw ICOs and the crypto world in general as a potential gold rush. Some people made out well, while many people weren’t as lucky. To put things in perspective, in 2017, only 48% of all ICOs really could be considered successful. Going into 2019, a lot of people looking into ICOs understand that success requires a more measured approach. One thing that a lot of people don’t realize is the importance of PR. Experts consider effective #ico marketing just as important as making sure you are using solid technology and being mindful of legal regulations. Here’s what it takes to compete.Where You Need PR For Your ICOs In 2019Why are PR professionals so useful in this area, specifically?

Since the SEC began taking sporadic action against “unregistered” ICOs earlier this year, the entire industry has been stopped dead in its tracks.And while legal pundits were able to put together a decent understanding of the situation based on SEC comments, opinion letters, and enforcement actions, there was no regulatory certainty.We knew, for example, that the SEC considered ICOs to be securities offerings that required registration with the SEC or to fit within a registration exemption. But even knowing the general framework the SEC wanted the industry to pursue, it was unclear how exactly ICOs should proceed.How does one launch a fully compliant security token? What does this mean for previously completed, but unregistered ICOs? If a token is a security, are centralized crypto (...)

The Thankless Job of #ico #scam HuntingOver 100 Million in Exit Scams as of AugustExit Scamming is when an ICO that has laid out plans to build something all of a sudden disappears and never makes good on their intention to use investor funds to build their project. Diar wrote about this back in August, identifying multiple scams that had taken place over the year.Unsurprisingly, the blatant exit scams continue to plague the largely unregulated ICO sector where the founders have no contractual obligation to deliver a product. After raising millions of dollars with no string attached, the founders’ incentives to actually build a valuable company are very limited.-Diar NewsletterCrypto’s Biggest Problem is the Scam Image“So let me get this straight, you are saying that this money that someone (...)

A product or service must deliver value: it supports and incentivizes platform adoption.Ultimately, it’s the driver that dictates success.As of mid-2018, over 1,000 projects have failed. Too many forgot — or chose to ignore — that to survive, you have to build something useful; although, this didn’t stop founders from raising $13.7 billion in the first six months of the year.However, the second half has been a wake-up call — and cryptocurrencies must now adapt.The Tide Has TurnedThere was a moment when the technology could do no wrong.Then several high-profile ICO’s were revealed as outright scams, robbing some $1.34 billion from unsuspecting investors, and sentiment changed. (...)

ICO’s Have All But Completely Exited Stage Left. Enter The Security Token?As the great cryptocurrency winter of 2018 extends its grip by yet another month, anecdotal evidence at various #blockchain conferences worldwide has been rife that a security token wave is on the cusp of forming.

Security tokens are are programmatically designed to be compliant with relevant regulations.

Many traditional tech companies have considered ICOs as an alternative to raise funds for their next expansion phase as compared to traditional venture capitals.
