> But the current model of venture financing is largely dead regardless of whether this change goes through. It's already being replaced by cryptocurrencies / ICOs, which seem like a far more sensible method of issuing restricted stock in excess of the SEC's limitations (since the right crypto / wallet scheme for something like this would not be anonymous). I think ultimately, cryptocurrencies are going to replace RSUs, but the cryptocurrencies that replace RSUs will probably have many of the same governance restrictions as RSUs. Is this true? I thought (perhaps incorrectly, naively) that one of the whole points of private equity being locked down and unable to sell/liquidate was just that - so that it can't be sold/liquidated. Any solution that makes it liquid goes against one of the original purposes, and thus isn't likely to happen.
