ICOs might be making a comeback: the SEC is ceasing its pursuit of startups like FLOW and Stacks. TIER 1 projects can now safely conduct ICOs, selling 15-30% of tokens and raising over $300 million, as seen with EOS and Tezos in 2017.

ICOs attract dedicated investors, unlike airdrop participants who seek quick profits. Safe ICOs can accelerate mass adoption and growth, raising up to $500 million.

Imagine a major ICO like Scroll, raising $200 million and offering a whitelist instead of an airdrop.
