CoinList’s infrastructure handles some components of a token sale, such as ComplyAPI services to allow companies to conduct Anti-Money Laundering-Know Your Customer (AML-KYC) checks on potential investors, as well as to verify the accreditation status of investors pursuant to US securities laws.
The platform has processed more than $400 million since mid-2017, has thousands of accredited investors on the platform, and supported one of the largest ICOs of 2017 (Filecoin, which raised $205 million).
