Tezos’ recovery has stalled as crypto markets stalled
Tezos was originally conceived in 2014 by Arthur and Kathleen Breitman, who later founded the Tezos Foundation, which was set up in Switzerland as a non-profit organization. The Tezos ICO, which took place in July 2017, was a record breaking success, bringing in a whopping $ 232 million.
Tezos’ operations were structured so that the Tezos Foundation could hold the majority of Tezos’ funds and pay Dynamic Ledger Solutions, a US company that ran Tezos’ operations. The structure was supposed to allow Tezos to avoid taxes, but CoinTelegraph reported that it wasn’t effective.
The foundation got into trouble in 2018 when Johann Gevers, the former head of the Tezos Foundation, became embroiled in a high-profile argument with the Breitmans. The dispute brought the project out of its course and timeframe at times and resulted in the law firm being charged with several class action lawsuits.

By 2019, however, the project showed signs of recovery – support from high profile investors like Tim Draper and increased interest in its staking component. Cointelegraph also reported that a number of investors are interested in projects either already developing on the Tezos protocol or soon to be developed on the protocol.

There is particular interest in Tezos as a platform for Security Token Offerings, or STOs for short. Recently, Tezos Commons Community member and ReactCrypto journalist Will McKenzie published a study claiming that Tezos will outperform Ethereum in terms of STOs. He quoted Mason Borda, the CEO of TokenSoft, who told McKenzie that within a year, 25 to 35% of all STO emissions would be through TokenSoft on Tezos.
However, Tezos appears to have lost some of its profits as crypto markets continue to react negatively to the spread of the coronavirus outbreak.
