You Tube channel of InnMind Community
InnMind Community produced really interesting webinar about Swiss and Israel laws governing ICO – Initial Coin Offering. Switzerland is well known as Crypto Valley but how is Israel coming into the front of the players on the market? Enjoy more than an hour of constructive intro to these two crypto markets. Below you can also find summary of the video content.
ICO is still considered to be a new way to raise funds. However, recently it has been used by an increasing number of scammers, and that led to the situation when the trust to ICO significantly reduced. Now the governments of main countries take measures to protect the business, and adjust current legislation system to the changing rules on the investment market.
The webinar will treat about different countries, theirs blockchain and crypto regulations and show insights from lawyers working in those regions.
