Token sale (Also known as IDO, IEO, STO, and ICO token sales) investors need to believe in the team behind their investments. Token sale companies must ensure that they are well regarded by the crypto community so investors feel comfortable with their project as a long-term investment. Investors attribute a lot of value to a motivated, reputable development team that they can feel confident in supporting.
Our token sale, Lendingblock, wanted to make sure that their founders and team had a good reputation in the ICO investor community. Lendingblock was doing fine, they completed their ICO sale, had an active Telegram community, and the team was profiled by Forbes. But in order to push their project to the next level of relevancy, they needed to do more. A Forbes appearance is one thing, but ICOs need to make sure they are specifically reaching out to the ICO investment community.
Token Sales are also known as ICO, IDO, IEO, and STO
According to FINMA, the Swiss regulator the types of tokens are the following:
Utility tokens are tokens which are intended to provide access digitally to an application or service by means of a blockchain-based infrastructure.
Asset tokens represent assets such as a debt or equity claim on the issuer. Asset tokens promise, for example, a share in future company earnings or future capital flows. In terms of their economic function, therefore, these tokens are analogous to equities, bonds or derivatives. Tokens which enable physical assets to be traded on the blockchain also fall into this category.
Crypto Tokens or Payment tokens are tokens which are intended to be used, now or in the future, as a means of payment for acquiring goods or services or as a means of money or value transfer. Cryptocurrencies give rise to no claims on their issuer.
