I think you don't know the difference between ICO and IEO. All the IEO token launch on exchange for initial sell, but its depends on team if they want to presale in their official websites. But all ICO sale happen on their official website or via smart contract.  I don't know why are you looking for ICO since it's not benefited lately. But you may take a look on Announcement (Altcoins), there is lots of IEO & ICO announcement threads. But I will not suggest to buy any ICO token lately, there is lots of scam happening on that field.

Actually you have a small wrong in your question.ICO coins are not available in exchanges and ICO means Initial Coin Offering.To buy ICO coin you have to use own website from the project.

Again IEO coins are available to buy from an exchange where it is launched.And IEO means Initial
Exchange Offering which is not available to buy outside of exchange before launch.
So hope now you got proper answer regarding your question about ICO.

It depends upon the smart contract created for the token. Mostly, the projects lock the tokens until tokens get listed on the exchange. This is done to prevent dumping of tokens before project gets kick-start. If tokens are locked then you can't buy those on any other platform or P2P. You can only buy tokens from official ICO website at official price.

Hello, I see you are new to the crypto scene. The thing with ICO's is you usually can not sell the coins before their listing. If it is true and you are new crypto I would suugest you to stay with established coins until you learned more about cryptos

[Odebowa]

ICO is an acronym that means Initial Coin Offering, which is how funds are raised for a new cryptocurrency offering. It's similar to an IPO (Initial Public Offering) which raises funds when a new company ventures onto the stock market.

What exactly is an ICO?
An ICO typically involves selling a new digital currency at a discount or a “token” as part of a way for a company to raise money. If that cryptocurrency succeeds and appreciates in value often based on speculation, just as stocks do in the public market the investor has made a profit.

your question: No

[hatshepsut93]

You can always buy a token from other people bypassing intermediaries, as long as the token is actually released and not frozen. You'd need to post your offer on forums or in some chats, or look for existing offers. But I think it would be hard on practice, because those early investors wouldn't want to sell below ICO price until exchanges are open, and if they do, it might be a sign that there's something wrong with the token, so maybe it won't ever get listed and you'll end up holding useless garbage.

[Thomas-s]

sure you can. even if you didn’t have time to buy tokens at the public sales, there are many Telegram channels where you can buy coins a little more expensive than at the public sale stage, but the main thing is not to get caught by scammers

Yes, it is a possibility but depends on the project itself and not all projects provide all these options most of them only sale their tokens through ieo platform but there are some exceptions where you can also purchase the tokens directly from the project website even when they are running their IEO at exchange one example is Youengine project, they have an IEO but still you can purchase their tokens directly from their website as well.

Of course you can, because usually the ico project sells tokens on their own website before entering into exchange

You can ask for a P2P purchase from the investors if they are already been sent the coins. Bounty participants if rewarded are in hurry to sell the coins and if you be able to contact some, you can buy coins from them in cheaper than ICO price. But some projects don't provide token to Bounty participants for months to prevent this.

If it's an ICO then you can buy it in their official sales page, if it's an IEO then you can only buy it from the exchange where they have a deal to create sales for them, ICO and IEO are two different things they are not the same on ICO the team controls the terms and the supply on IEO it is managed by the exchange subject to their terms.

[Fatemablabla]

Yes, you can buy any token from ICO you want if they have an official sales page on their website. But you can't buy in IEO from outside of the exchangers. Though you can from third party Which is very risky but IEO only happens in exchangers.
If you are new in the crypto world I will suggest you to stay with some established coins first and understand the market.

It can be purchased outside of exchange site after there was an official announcement about that. I think you meant about IEO token, right? You can purchase it before it will be listed on the exchange site but becareful with this method. I didn't suggest you to try thise and it's better to purchase on exchange site through use launchpaf platforms.
You must also choose legit platforms.

You can buy ICOs outside, because as far as I know, ICO projects are still not listed in exchanges. They sell tokens through partners or through their websites. But never join and buy ICOs because most of them are scams, if you buy them you will lose money

[Coin_trader]

In every ICO/IEO which I believe you are pertaining IEO as per statement above, there is always a private sale which is common on Initial sales but it's limited to private investors that connected to the team. Private sale is always in demand since they offer crazy bonus and you will have a really good profit in case the ICE/IEO become successful.

Most of private sale are only available for VC(venture capital) because most them are lending the project for there initial expenses.

Actually this is possible. they can make seed rounds to sell to angel investors. CTSI has done the same and it still does IEO at Binance exchange. but before implementing IEO, they will have to disclose full and accurate information about previously distributed tokens. All information is included in the whitepaper, you can read to understand more about the token distribution of each project.

Did you mean listing on exchange by the word launch? Sometimes, bounty hunters sell their coin/token they get from the bounty campaign. You can check the altcoin marketplace to get some of the offers. Also, you can post about your required token there.

If the tokens are under ethereum network and its not locked then some users were able to have spare tokens then you can buy cause they can sell it on forkdelta and some dex that can easily uploaded smart contract to be able to buy and sell tokens. Usually some ICO locked their tokens for these kind of situation so the price would bot be affected but what you are asking is not impossible.

I really don't understand your question very well but here are two examples I've came across before.

1. Not long ago I saw a new project that launch ICO on their website and IEO on other two Exchanges so yes it's possible to buy coins on the website or outside the website

2. Last year I promoted a bounty project and bounty hunters were paid, ICO haven't even started yet, after some weeks I saw people selling this token through idex, some are buy and some are selling, this is unofficial listing, it happens.
