Crypto startup Legion has raised $5 million in seed financing to develop a platform designed to revive initial coin offerings while addressing the fraud concerns that plagued the fundraising model during the 2017 boom. The round was led by asset-manager VanEck and Brevan Howard Digital, the cryptocurrency arm of the macro hedge-fund firm. Legion says the capital will fund technology that verifies project teams and creates a curated network of investors, aiming to lower compliance risks and improve transparency for token issuers.
