"A New York Times investigative reporter wades into the murky, pixelated waters of the multibillion-dollar NFT market, a virtual casino of speculation and volatility that tests the nature of value itself. In 2021, when the gavel fell at Christie's on the sale of Mike Winkelmann's Everydays series-a compilation of 5,000 digital artworks-it made a thunderous announcement: Non-fungible tokens had arrived.

Security Token Offerings (STOs) galten vor allem für Start-ups aus der Krypto-Branche als Finanzierungsalternative. Inzwischen scheinen traditionelle Venture Capital-Investoren ihre Vormachtstellung verteidigt zu haben. Mit zunehmender Tendenz zeichnen sich dabei Verbindungslinien zwischen den Finanzierungsarten ab. Dieser Wechselbeziehungen zwischen STOs und Venture Capital geht die Arbeit unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der sich ergebenden Gestaltungsaufgaben auf den Grund.
