World’s Biggest Tech Corporation Microsoft Ventures Into ICO

The new ICO solution has been jointly developed by Microsoft Azure and Stratis – an ICO platform that offers KYC solutions, custom branding and support for different currencies.

With the development of cryptos, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) became one of the most popular ways to raise funds. To finance the technical development, the sale of tokens is organized before the cryptocurrency is released. In other words, ICOs are alike to an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in which investors purchase shares of a company.
