ICOs

Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are fundraising methods used by companies or projects to raise capital by issuing new digital tokens or cryptocurrencies to investors. Similar to an initial stock offering, investors purchase these tokens, often with established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, in hopes that the tokens will increase in value or serve a specific purpose within the project’s ecosystem. ICOs operate on blockchain technology, enabling transparent, fast transactions. However, they carry risks, such as lack of regulation and potential for fraud, so investors should conduct thorough research before participating.
