@@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ All assets other than XRP can be represented in the XRP Ledger as _tokens_.
Standard tokens are fungible: meaning, all units of that token are interchangeable and indistinguishable. Tokens can be used for [cross-currency payments](../payment-types/cross-currency-payments.md) and can be traded in the [decentralized exchange](decentralized-exchange/index.md).
**Note:** Tokens on the XRP Ledger have also been called "IOUs" (as in [I-owe-you](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOU)) and "issued currencies" in the past. However, these terms are not preferred because they do not cover the full range of digital assets that XRP Ledger tokens can represent. <!-- STYLE_OVERRIDE: ious -->

There are other use cases for tokens issued in the XRP Ledger. For example, you can create an "Initial Coin Offering" (ICO) by issuing a fixed amount of currency to a secondary address, then "throwing away the key" to the issuer.
**Warning:** ICOs might be [regulated as securities](https://www.sec.gov/oiea/investor-alerts-and-bulletins/ib_coinofferings) in the USA. <!-- SPELLING_IGNORE: ico, icos -->
