Do you really believe this? Based on the recent article published by the Economist in April 2017, more than $100 billion has been invested in ICOs. That’s really a mammoth figure in just 4 months. Why the investors are driving crazy towards ICOs and token sales.
Is it really worth investing in ICOs? Let us have a look at some of the advantages from an investor’s point of view.
More Liquidity — As the investors are putting their money well before the official launch of the company’s products/services, they will have more liquidity.
High Returns — If the company has a team of highly skilled individuals specialized in crypto finance and well backed by financial partners, then the chances of returns from the token investments can be as high as 1000%.
Early access — If the investors buy tokens during the pre-sale, then they access to the new tokens well in advance. So the profit margin will be more when the value of the token appreciates.
Low-risk factor — If the ICO you are planning to buy is built on or uses the more popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, then the risk factor of investment is less.
Discounts — If the investors buy these coins or tokens during the pre-sales, they will get 10% to 30% discounts depending on the investment amount.
First buyers — The first time buyers of any product/service will always get a special feeling about it. Imagine yourself as the first person standing in the long queue to buy the iPhone X in your nearby Apple Store. How will you feel?
So, many small-scale and start-up companies use ICO as a tool to raise capital or funds for building their business. If they really have a demanding product or service, the early investors can get more profit by investing in their tokens.
Today, let us take a look at one such UK based company named Sharpe Capital which is planning to start the Pre Sales of their tokens in November 2017.
