Welcome to GECKO Governance 2018
2
BLOCKCHAIN DISRUPTION
According to Coindesk $5 billion USD was raised through Token Sales in 2017. Some projects raised hundreds of millions of dollars. For example, Filecoin raised $257 million US dollars for their blockchain-based data storage.
However, the nascent Token Sale industry suffers from a lack of regulation and compliance. The current Token Sale market has become overheated and has little, or no global standards. This lack of governance standards is a barrier to the global growth of the ecosystem and is adding to the risk of market collapse. Investors have little transparency into initial and ongoing Token Sale project funding and finance.
GECKO Governance’s vision is to build a platform that becomes the industry standard for “best practice” Token Sale regulation and compliance. For the first time, Token Sale investors will have the same levels of transparency, compliance and accountability available to traditional investors and large institutions.

Today, GECKO Governance is the first RegTech blockchain solution to allow Fund Managers and Banks to easily monitor and manage their regulation and compliance requirements.
It enables Banks and Fund Managers to schedule all their end to end compliance and regulatory tasks and
provides a verifiable independent blockchain audit trail of compliance to satisfy global financial regulators.

In July, 2013 A Form Of Blockchain Fundraising
Called An Intial Coin Offering Was Developed
Over the last two years, the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) model has been used by hundreds of organizations to raise more than $5 billion USD.
Government agencies are now analyzing the securities implications of this non-traditional form of financing, with potential consequences for ICOs that violate securities laws.
