Mapping the Top 10 fastest ICOs of all time

In a recent report, the Financial Times said that Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), also referred to as a Token sales, could replace IPOs and even some VCs.

ICO is a new way for Tech start-ups to raise money outside of the traditional channels such as Venture Capital or Crowdfunding. In 2016, more than $100 million dollars were raised by 64 companies. Token sales are set to skyrocket in 2017 with Tezos alone having raised 2x more than the total raised in 2016.

In addition to the millions that are being raised with ICOs, what is impressive is the rapidity with which these companies can raise funds, sometimes in a matter of seconds.
