Digital Token Valuation

This book looks at the analogic application of standard corporate valuation approaches to trendy digital tokens, expressed by cryptocurrencies, and validated through blockchain systems. Whereas traditional firm appraisal follows institutional guidelines and best practices, frontier research still must define the boundaries of these issues, linking a strong theoretical background to practical advances that still need finetuning. This book, written by an academic and a senior consultant, combines theoretical rigor with practical insights, providing an innovative framework for evaluators, managers, practitioners and academics of corporate valuation and financial technology.
