So, here are the Pros & Cons of ICO Development.

Pros

ICOs are a quick way to raise funds for your projects. Most of the time, all you need is a good White Paper.Project ownership: The investors invest in your project “idea,” not the project itself. So, you can raise funds while keeping the ownership rights to your projects.

Easy Settlements:

Since everything is done over blockchain, payments and investments are quicker and safer than conventional money transactions.

Liquidity:

Although the value of tokens are volatile, popular tokens have the potential to generate high liquidity, making millions in 24 hours.Democratizing Investments: Venture investments have been concentrated in the big cities for a long time, ICOs allow anyone to invest and fundraise, regardless of where you are.

Online Marketing:

You can showcase and promote your project to a massive audience using websites, forums, groups, etc.

Cons

High Volatility:

ICOs generate high liquidity, but early liquidity can cause token value to be highly volatile. Legality: Being a decentralized market, ICOs have no regulatory authority. The legality of ICOs may depend on the regulations of your country or area.

Uncertain Token Valuation:

Investors buy tokens based on expected resale profits, not the underlying economic utility.

Money Laundering:

There is a concern that ICOs could be used to launder money, especially by criminal organizations. This is why it’s always important to employ KYC verifications.Lack of Due Diligence: Investors make their investments based on the White Paper. ICOs may have technological issues or might just be unsuccessful due to sloppy work.

Whales:

Some people (Whales) buy a whole lot of tokens early on, which means that a large number of tokens are in the same place, affecting the liquidity.
