Risks & Considerations
Important Notice
Internet Capital Markets represent a new and experimental approach to value creation. Participants should carefully consider these risks before engaging with ICM tokens.
Not all tokens are credible. Without standards, ICMs can be misread as unserious. Projects must communicate purpose and function clearly.
ICM tokens must avoid looking like securities. No promises, no equity, no dividends. Legal clarity remains a gray area.
Token dynamics must not distract from product delivery. Tokens should support, not replace, real usage.
Price swings can distort perception. Builders should avoid overhyping launches and clarify their intent.
ICMs must prevent token spam. Curation, standards, and reputation systems are essential to preserve credibility.
Token price isn't enough. Projects should surface usage, activity, and retention alongside token dynamics.
Mitigation Strategies
- • Clear communication of token purpose and non-security nature
- • Focus on utility and community value over speculation
- • Transparent metrics beyond just token price
- • Strong curation and quality standards
- • Regular legal review and compliance monitoring
- • Education of participants about risks and expectations
