ICO stands for Initial Coin Offering, which is similar to Initial Public Offering.
IPO is selling securities.
If the coin represents an investment, ownership of other assets, pays dividends, etc., then it is a security. Unless the ICO has filed with the regulators, they are not allowed to sell securities.
Token Sales is selling tokens, preferably to be used in playing games or gambling. They should not represent ownership of other assets, pay dividends, etc.
So, if I invest in an ICO I will get dividend? No, not necessarily. It depends on the ICO and if they are claiming that they will pay a dividend. Any ICO that claims that they will pay a dividend or that you will make a profit, you should be very suspicious and cautious for these reasons: - Technology startups rarely pay dividends. Google and Facebook still don't pay dividends. - You should thoroughly understand how they will make the money to pay the dividend. - If they claim that they will pay dividend or provide a return on investment, then they are selling a security. In which case, they are putting themselves on the top of the regulator's list, if and when the regulators start cracking down on ICOs for selling securities. If regulators go after them, then the value of the coin will drop. |
