Bitcoin skeptic Mark Cuban is looking to take part in one of the hottest trends in the digital currency world right now: the initial coin offering.
One of the companies Cuban is invested in, Unikrn, is planning its own offering, and digital currency.
I "haven't signed the paperwork yet. But it's likely it will happen," he added.
An initial coin offering is a fundraising process for blockchain-based projects that allows investors to own part of a project through a digital network token. Start-ups in the blockchain world often find this method of fundraising more attractive than venture capital funding for the speed and amount they can raise — on June 12 a project called Bancor raised the equivalent of about $150 million within two hours.
Unikrn is an esports online betting site that uses a virtual currency and is scheduled to launch in September a sale of tokens based on ethereum, a rival of bitcoin.
