**Affirmed position.** ICO 현황과 규제방안 - 자본시장법 중심으로 - presents the following source proposition: ICO 개요 ■ ICO(Initial Coin Offering)란 가상통화(virtual currency)와 블록체인 기술을 기반으로 프로젝트 투자자금을 모집하는 활동임. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that ICOs cannot be qualified as donations and are therefore distinguishable from crowdfunding, because ICO participants acquire a financial stake in the company and, as the case may be, a right to vote on future decisions. 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.
