Palavras-chave:
Blockchain; Criptomoedas; Finanças empreendedoras; Revisão Bibliométrica.Resumo
This article focuses on Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), a disruptive fundraising method for tech startups through the sale of digital tokens. This blockchain-based modality broadens investment access to a wider audience but also carries high risks due to significant market volatility and a lack of regulation. The bibliometric study centers on key issues concerning ICOs, including their relevance as an investment source for startups, regulatory challenges, and factors impacting their success. To identify the success factors and challenges of ICOs, this research adopted a rigorous methodology involving a systematic literature review, bibliometric analysis, and content analysis. The study analyzed a sample of 120 articles published between 2018 and 2024, sourced from the Scopus indexed database. Data were organized into seven clusters using VOSviewer software. The research identifies the most significant countries, institutions, authors, and publications. The United States, China, and the United Kingdom stand out as the largest contributors to the literature on the topic.
Keywords: Blockchain; Cryptocurrencies; Entrepreneurial Finance; Bibliometric Review.
