Cryptocurrency experts say Swig's digau token appears unusual, even as there has been a proliferation of new coins in recent years. "I have not seen a single gold-backed cryptocoin like this that has been successful," Felix Shipkevich, a New York City attorney who has worked on cryptocurrency offerings, said.
