What is an ICO?
An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is a type of crowdfunding or fundraising mechanism used by startup companies and blockchain-based projects to raise capital. It involves the sale of digital tokens, usually in exchange for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. The tokens can then be traded on crypto exchanges or held as investments. The funds raised from an ICO are typically used to finance the development of the project’s product or service.
