Joshua Ashley Klayman Kuzar, founder and CEO, Klayman LLC and Inflection Point Blockchain Advisors, is one of the best known cryptocurrency lawyers.

"If you actually look at the companies involved I mean I think that's a huge differentiator," she said.

"We've never seen congressional hearings about a start-up proposing a token sale in the manner that we're seeing this now. We haven't been seeing so much commentary from such high-level folks from across the world about individual projects."

"Blockchain and crypto have captured the imagination of many," she said.

"It's an exciting area. It's something people are interested in," she said.

Klayman also see's Facebook's decision to headquarter in Switzerland as another positive.

"I mean you could say that Switzerland and FINMA - again I'm not a Swiss lawyer - but FINMA has really in many senses been at the forefront among some other jurisdictions about coming up with categories of tokens."
