<h1>Legal risks of AI-platform token presale: tiered pricing, giveaways, staking claims, audits, and securities scrutiny amid market volatility</h1> Established blockchain tokens are reported as underperforming amid market volatility while a new token presale by an AI-driven platform has raised funds through tiered pricing and promotional incentives. The issuer sold tokens in an early round, offering future price increases, giveaway eligibility for minimum purchases, and staking/governance features, and asserts third-party audit and cross-chain arbitrage capabilities. Legally salient issues include potential securities regulation scrutiny of the presale, adequacy and veracity of audit and performance claims, investor protection concerns from promotional incentives and volatility, disclosure of risks and conflicts, and the need for purchaser due diligence before participating.
