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
I think that the price will be set depending on the number of tokens created. In my opinion, you can make your own token and not conduct an ICO but for the development of the project you need money so it is more reasonable to create a token and sell it through ICO or IEO.
