It’s an initial coin offering similar in some ways to IPO, it is currently an unregulated space in the industry. It’s a way of raising funds, in IPO’s only accredited investors are allowed, whereas anyone can take part in ICO’s. Think when Snapchat had its IPO the stocks where been sold for next to nothing, by the time you see it the price has more than quadrupled.
