New Capital Formation

Definition

New capital formation describes the process of raising funds to finance new businesses, projects, or expansions. In traditional finance, this involves issuing equity, debt, or other financial instruments through public or private markets. Within the digital asset ecosystem, new capital formation often occurs through initial coin offerings, security token offerings, or decentralized autonomous organization fundraising mechanisms. These methods allow startups and protocols to acquire resources directly from a global pool of participants, often leveraging blockchain technology for transparency and efficiency.
