| dc.description.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. | |
