Initial Coin Offerings: Financing Growth with Cryptocurrency Token Sales presents the following source proposition: Success is associated with disclosure, credible commitment to the project, and quality signals. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that ICOs provide the highest possible liquidity for investors at the very beginning of a platform's lifecycle, before the reporting, accounting, and legal infrastructure that gives the investing public assurance of underlying business success, so investors trade on very limited information and volatility of the tokens and the whole cryptocurrency market increases. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

• The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
• External evidence level: abstract indexed.
• Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
• Primary mapping confidence: 0.4123.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
