Earlier this year, we made a colossal decision to unwind months of hard work and preparations and cancel what would have been our Initial Token Offering (ITO). This decision was a hard one, but our research led us to pursue a fully regulatory compliant and future-proof method of raising funds from accredited and sophisticated investors and issuing tokens to our dedicated community in order to ensure the Sports Ledger project would be a globally inclusive movement that stands the test of time. Our search for a jurisdictionally specific alternative to an ITO pointed us to the uncharted waters in the offerings world: the Security Token Offering.

At Sports Ledger, our vision is to be the world’s uncontested leading provider of comprehensive, inclusive sporting interactions.

Our purpose is to revolutionise and redefine how people understand and interact with every part of every sport, delivering unique value for our users and customers while driving positive change in both the sporting world and the global community at large.

To this end, we empower fans and clubs, professional and budding athletes, trainers, agents and corporate bodies to connect, communicate, cooperate and collaborate with each other in an unprecedented and mutually beneficial manner by leveraging cutting-edge analytics, innovative reward systems and new opportunities to engage with passionate, global audiences.

Making smart business decisions and anticipating future regulatory and legal is essential to our ability to fulfill our mission.

Sports Ledger will lead the way in a new era of asset tokenisation and blockchain-driven innovation through our STO, allowing us to stand at the forefront as one of the first companies to allow investors to purchase tokenised rights in our business and platform.

The Sports Ledger STO will be a fully SEC and FCA complaint and regulated offering where participants shall receive a security token that entitles them to future dividends from cash flow generated by the platform, the potential for conversion into common equity in the event of a sale or IPO of the business, and a future allocation of utility tokens once our Sports Ledger platform goes live in 2019.

The ability to offer security tokens to investors and stakeholders will ensure a bright future for the Sports Ledger project. We are excited to highlight and push for change in the market and bring about developments in security token regulations around the world.

We look forward to sharing more details with you all in due course. We have an exciting month ahead and the team cannot wait to share what we been up to.

The Revolution has begun, both on and off the pitch.
