The ICO or a token crowdsale is a way of raising funds by selling digital tokens, typically based on the Ethereum platform. These tokens are different than company stock in the sense they rarely give its owners direct ownership of the company behind the ICO. They may have other value; usually the tokens provide a means to actively participate in the startup's project, and they can typically be sold for other cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. 。
But several regulatory bodies, including those in the U.S., China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Russia, have recently warned that lack of regulations has turned ICOs into a playground for scammers. 。
