In a session entitled 'Bringing Liquidity to the ICO Market: t's Wall Street Licensed Crypto Token Exchange', Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com (OSTK) and Founder of t teased listeners about a "mystery' announcement. He later in the session gave details of the tZERO initial coin offering (ICO), utilizing a Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (SAFT), administered as a SAFT pre-sale through SAFTLaunch.com. tZERO SAFT pre-sale is expected to open on Nov. 15, 2017 and run until Dec. 31, 2017.

He also said in his talk, "We are offering up to 500 Million tokens. We think this may be the largest ICO yet that comes to market."
