Darren Goodman and Taryn Cannataro of Lowenstein’s Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation group are joined by guest Eric Weiner, partner in the firm’s Tech Group and the Co-Chair of Lowenstein Crypto to discuss a hot topic and emerging trend in executive compensation: cryptocurrency and token issuances. Despite the recent downturn in the crypto markets, we have continued to see crypto employers granting tokens to incentivize their employees. This podcast episode provides a brief overview of the various forms of token issuances, how token awards differ from equity awards from a tax perspective, and considerations to keep in mind if you plan to grant tokens to employees.
