  In the primary markets related to cryptocurrency, there are two types of securities offerings: initial coin offerings (ICOs) and security token offerings (STOs). ICOs have been a popular method for startups to raise funds by issuing their own digital tokens. These tokens can have various uses within a project, such as access to services or participation in a decentralized network. STOs, on the other hand, involve the sale of security tokens that are backed by real-world assets or comply with securities regulations. These tokens represent ownership in an underlying asset, such as shares in a company or rights to a portion of revenue. Both ICOs and STOs have faced regulatory challenges, but they have also provided opportunities for innovation and investment in the cryptocurrency space.
