Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are a popular strategy used by blockchain projects to raise capital. ICOs are similar to crowdfunding but typically issue trade-able tokens or equity ownership in the form of a newly minted cryptocurrency. Ethereum's ICO raised ~AUD$24M in 2014, making it the second largest crowdfunding campaign in history at the time.
