ICO, STO, IEO listings and their benefits
Before getting access to trading, cryptocurrency and token have to undergo a long analysis. Only after several selection stages, they are added to platforms that are considered to be the main tools for performing transactions with digital coins. For startups, this procedure is called ICO listing. Adding a project or a cryptocurrency to the exchange positively affects their development prospects.
What is listing for ICO, STO, and IEO?
Listing is the process of adding the projects and digital coins to the list of available instruments on the stock exchange. Once an asset is added to such a list, it becomes available for transactions and investments.
The digital market develops rapidly and, accordingly, numerous new coins emerge. High competition pushes creators to promotion. Adding a cryptocurrency to the trading platform listing is one of the main parameters of currency acknowledgement. Experts can trace back the correlation between success of a digital asset and the number of platforms where it is listed.

For the creator, it means enhancement of the investment appeal and trust, as well as facilitation of further development. Therefore, the users can rest assured that the funds they invested will not only return, but can also bring profit.
