More on the ICO
The initial coin offering is a popular fundraising method because it suits the needs of entrepreneurs who would not have had the same opportunities through traditional fundraising practices. This process is based on the fact that investors will buy virtual assets that will later be used to invest in the service or product developed by the company initiating the ICO.
