Abstract

One must at first acknowledge the rapid growth of the crowdfunding market over the recent years, both within the United States and worldwide. With the conduct of diverse crowdfunding activities, various complex legal issues arose. While the laws and regulations in the United States endeavoured to keep pace, at both state and federal levels, with the diversity and evolution of crowdfunding businesses, there is at the date of this report no comprehensive legal framework encompassing crowdfunding as a whole. This report thus aims to shed some light on the existing legal framework in force in the United States and on some of the complex issues raised by crowdfunding activities.
