<h1>Blockchain AI token presale raises securities disclosure and investor protection concerns amid large sales, audit and listing claims</h1> A blockchain-based AI token issuer reports presale sales of over 850 million tokens and fundraising nearing $3 million, with staged price increases claiming substantial paper gains for early purchasers and speculative projections of up to 100× returns upon listing. The issuer touts listing on market-tracking websites and completion of internal and third-party security audits, while marketing real-world AI use cases. From a legal perspective this raises disclosure and investor-protection issues: promotional forecasts may trigger securities-law scrutiny, audit/listing claims do not eliminate fraud or misrepresentation risks, and purchasers face market, regulatory and liquidity risks; the release includes a publisher-disclaimer distancing editorial responsibility.
