Abstract

This study investigates Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) as an innovative financing channel, focusing on the factors influencing their success and the project start-up post-ICO. Using a hand-collected dataset of 410 ICOs from the 2016−2018 period, we analyze ICOs as a mechanism that enables startups to raise significant capital. We categorize the success factors into voluntary disclosure quality, team characteristics, deal characteristics, and country of issuance or geographic location. We also examine security and payment tokens to explore their differing impacts on ICO outcomes. Our study contributes to the extant literature by offering a comprehensive view of the factors that drive ICO success and those that explain post-ICO performance. Our study provides critical insights for investors, regulators, and entrepreneurs. , Cette étude examine les Offres Initiales de Pièces (ICO) comme un canal de financement innovant, en se concentrant sur les facteurs influençant leur succès et le démarrage du projet après l'ICO. Utilisant un ensemble de données collecté manuellement de 410 ICOs de la période 2016-2018, nous analysons les ICOs en tant que mécanisme permettant aux startups de lever des capitaux importants. Nous catégorisons les facteurs de succès en qualité de divulgation volontaire, caractéristiques de l'équipe, caractéristiques de l'offre, et pays d'émission ou localisation géographique. Nous examinons également les tokens de sécurité et de paiement pour explorer leurs impacts différents sur les résultats des ICO. Notre étude contribue à la littérature existante en offrant une vue complète des facteurs qui entra\ⁱnent le succès des ICO et de ceux qui expliquent la performance post-ICO. Notre étude fournit des perspectives critiques pour les investisseurs, les régulateurs et les entrepreneurs.
