Potential for Cryptocurrency to Fund Investment in Sustainable Real Assets
Abstract
In an era filled with concerns about the preservation of scarce resources, climate
change and the environment, investing in and protecting assets related to sustainability
and the environment has become an area of greater focus and increased importance to
the general population and the investment community. With the rapidly growing popularity
of blockchain, new vehicles for raising capital for investments and projects have
developed. These include cryptocurrency and Initial Coin or Initial Token Offerings.
These types of offerings enable firms to issue virtual currency, tokens, or coins,
also known as cryptocurrency, instead of conventional debt or equity, to raise funds
for a given project. This paper looks at the potential for cryptocurrency to help
fund additional investment in sustainable real assets.
