Equity Financing

Definition

Equity financing involves raising capital by selling ownership shares in a company. In the context of digital assets, this traditional financial method can apply to blockchain companies or projects that issue tokens representing equity or a claim on future profits, rather than traditional stock. Investors provide funds in exchange for a stake in the venture, aligning their interests with the project’s long-term success. This funding mechanism differs from debt financing, as it does not require repayment but rather offers a share of potential gains.
