In 2017, more than US$4.8 billion was raised through ICO - Initial Coin Offering. For many, this has somewhat become the preferred method of raising capital for the bustling startup community. One of them is Gifto, a virtual gifting protocol, that closed out in just one minute with a sum of USD$30 million! We speak to Andy Tian, CEO of AIG and developers of Gifto about their ICO journey and the token offerings.
