The Amun team (Hany Rashwan, Ophelia Snyder, Laurent Kssis, Hansen Wang, and Lanre Ige) comes together to discuss the impact recent regulatory actions on token sale will have on the market and give an overview of the different economic models for tokens. The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) has been heating up their enforcement action over the last few months with recent enforcements/settlements actions against companies such as Block.one. The primary contributor to the cool-down of the wider token sale market has been a general fear of action by the SEC and the intricacies of each of the SEC's token sale-related cases thus far will have long-term impacts on the crypto asset market.

In addition, the regulatory investigations over the last few years in different tokens has helped further shed a light on the various kinds of economic models different crypto assets use. The differences between each tokens model affects its economic, valuation, and regulatory status and as such is of the utmost importance for anyone interested in the crypto asset industry.

Tune in to this week's episode to learn about token sale regulation and crypto asset economic models — two of the most cutting edge topics within the sector.
