According to sources, the company had consulted to structure an “Initial Cryptocurrency Offer” (ICOs) and had shown interest in the application of blockchain technology to back up data online, something that remained in plans only after the controversy.

It’s not surprising that the data analysis company was interested in this topic, since with the emergence of new technologies focused on the development and financial improvement, in the field of cryptocurrencies, ICOs have presented an excellent alternative to capitalize projects.
