In the crypto world, we have an offering quite similar to IPOs, known as ICO or Initial Coin Offering. Any cryptocurrency or blockchain company looking to raise funds can use an ICO for that. ICOs became a popular phenomenon during the crypto bubble in 2017. However, they came under fire when agencies started scrutinizing them due to malpractices like scamming and market manipulation. However, a new type of offering has arrived into the crypto world with some benefits compared to ICOs & IEOs (Initial Exchange Offerings): IDO.
Short for Initial Dex Offerings, it represents assets through tokens hosted on a decentralized exchange. Users can develop IDOs from anything from cryptocurrency to music albums. Moreover, they offer businesses a tool for engagement with their communities in an economy.
Unlike an initial public offering, investors in initial dex offerings never own any equity in the project. Instead, they offer a more cost-effective token sale and listing model. As a result, an IDO can provide quick liquidity with little to no slippage through the available liquidity pools. Moreover, it also has cheaper listing costs.
Today, we’ll talk about some of the upcoming projects that will launch or have already launched their IDOs in October.
