ICO are hot and especially HOT since 2017
Bitcoin fork, Ethereum, NEO make tons of new cryptocurrency available to market.
But I wonder that the cryptocurrency value is decide by the market, aka exchange like bittrex, bitfinex
Some crypto's whitepaper do set the initial price in whitepaper but mostly doesn't
So the initial price is decide by who? By the crypto founder, exchange or "secret man behind"?
Another question is let say the price have a ratio during ICO, 1 BTC = 100 CRYPTO, so the price per CRYPTO = 0.01BTC, so when they enter exchange, the price will start as 0.01BTC?
But what if the CRYPTO doesnt start with an ICO, how the price going to set to launch?
Any expert or experienced crypto enthusiasts can explain here?

Edited: Can have example for crypto without ICO? Thanks
Of course it's possible. One of the new models for 2019 is Security Token Offering. There are many different aspects from ICOs. Besides, it is possible to continue to Tokeni market without exchanging ICOs.
