What Your Startup Needs to Know About Launching An ICO In Japan

Now that Japan is planning to release guidelines that are favorable to the cryptocurrency business, it is an opportunity to launch an ICO over there. ICO, called Initial Coin Offering, is a way by which new projects sell their crypto tokens against cryptocurrencies like the Ethereum and Bitcoin.

An ICO is like a crowd funding platform, whereby a company offers something in exchange for a sum of money which is then used for different investments. However, in this case, what is being offered in exchange by the company is a virtual currency.

If your startup wants to launch an ICO in Japan, there are some things you need to know. It is important to know that you need a company and also a website which will act as medium through which the virtual currency can be promoted. You may even need a platform where people can discuss about it, a form of chat room.

One thing about the ICO market in Japan is that it keeps developing. Both large companies and smaller businesses are using the token sales to get funds. You need to meet with registration agents in the country who can help you to open an ICO if you have little idea of how to do it.

There are some steps that need to be understood and followed before launching an ICO.

Step 5

Handle your communication with a high level of professionalism.
