Increase in the Crypto Market Cap of Nearly 800%
2017 has been the year of cryptocurrencies with the market cap increasing nearly 800%. Some coins have grown so drastically that it left many people incapacitated when looking at the almost vertical charts. Although cryptocurrencies are still in the beginning stages, one feature that has already proven itself, is the ability to use coins and tokens for fundraising. This is also the reason why we have seen such exponential increase in the market cap and in prices.
Problems with traditional crowdfunding
The traditional way of crowdfunding has grown out of context with high fees for using crowdfunding platforms, restricted accessibility in some countries, and quite frankly, fraud and over exaggeration in value and success of campaigns. The problems also include lack of clarity in taxation of funds, poor KYC and AML policies, and almost no support to help promote campaigns.
These are the reasons businesses have found issuing their own cryptocurrencies and launching an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) as a much better alternative for raising funds than traditional crowdfunding.
Using cryptocurrencies for fundraising gives businesses the opportunity to receive funding without having to pay considerable fees to crowdfunding platforms, while remaining in complete control of the whole campaign. The decentralization behind many cryptocurrencies also provides an extra layer of security and less involvement by regulatory authorities, making the process more efficient.
That’s the reason why many fintech companies were able to raise a lot more with ICOs during the first half of 2017, than they did through venture capital.
Problems with the current ICOs
The ICO process is far from perfect. For people new to this technology, creating their own coins and launching a crowdsale might seem like a daunting process. After all, they need to develop their platform, customize their coin and create a wallet, in addition to the traditional processes including marketing and legal operations.
