Initial Coin Offerings: Innovation, Democratization and the SEC presents the following source proposition: While issuers may soon be forced to comply with United States securities laws, the existing regime is inadequate because it does not allow startups to capture the unique benefits of coin sales and, more importantly, it does not allow eager American investors to take part in funding the world’s next generation of technology companies. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Initial coin offerings have overtaken venture capital as a funding channel for blockchain start ups, raising 331 million dollars in twelve months, and may become an alternative funding method for traditional companies as well. The proposed response is a qualification: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
