As far as I know you can find launchpads in well-known exchanges like Binance, I'm just not sure now if it has a date schedule for this, even in other exchanges there is also a launchpad.

        Then it seems to be better to invest in the new token in the launchpads in the exchange because there is an exchange platform immediately when you do a Buy and Sell activity than in icos that we don't know when it will be listed on the exchange platform.
