There are several options besides Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs) for raising funds in cryptocurrency: Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are the traditional way of raising funds in the crypto world, where a project introduces its tokens to the public for the first time. They were the pioneering form of this groundbreaking fundraising approach. Security Token Offerings (STOs) involve issuing tokens representing ownership of an asset, such as corporate debt and equity. These tokens are known as security tokens, and their purchase through an STO is considered an investment regulated by securities laws. Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) offer where a project launches a token via a decentralised liquidity exchange. This method enables the tokens to be traded immediately, providing instantaneous liquidity.
