What is an ICO and what are the risks?

An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is a fundraising method where new cryptocurrency projects sell tokens to early investors. ICOs allow startups to raise capital without traditional financing, but they are largely unregulated. While some ICOs, like Ethereum’s, led to successful projects, many turned out to be scams or failed ventures. Risks include lack of investor protection, unclear regulations, and potential for losing all invested funds. Investors should carefully evaluate the project’s whitepaper, team credibility, and regulatory environment before participating. ICOs are high-risk and should only be approached by experienced investors willing to accept potential losses.
