Hey there,

what are the most successfull ICOs in your opinion? How do you measure it? Are there any websites measuring all previous ICOs?

Thank you very much

You mean the most successful ico? I think it's  NXT!  made big rich people.
I have not found any website to follow up this.If you want to make one,I think it will be a successful website.

I look for which ICO's contribute legitimate value, or solve legitimate problems.

So XRP solves the problem of cross boarder payments taking days to complete. IOTA allows people to transact between one another free of charge. These are real legitimate problems in my opinion.

Of many ICOs happening everyday, most of them just a scam, the most successful ICOs were of established services or best new startup concepts.
In my opinion Tezos was the most successful ICO and betking.io too will become one of the largest ICO ever.

It depends on your measure of success, price or user adoption? I don't remember now but there are few websites showing project's ico prices and current prices, you can get a idea from them

Check here: https://icostats.com/

I saw other websites tracking ICOed tokens, don't remember right now, perhaps someone else can remember those.

STORJ getting some attention, also Civic got a huge pump today from Chinese traders.

From the last ICOs i think STOX was the most successful, they raised all the funds on first days.

If you google it you will find some things

for example:

https://themerkle.com/5-of-the-most-successful-cryptocurrency-icos-to-date/

up to march accordinh to them: ICONOMI, WAVES, LISK, GOLEM PROJECT, ETHEREUM

Other names: bancor, Humaniq and others

For me the most successful so far was Ethereum

well, in order to find the most succesfull ico we need to set some metrics to measure performance: market cap, number of partecipants, price increase after quote, number of exchanges where It Is traded and so on..

I think BanCor is the most successful ICO project at the moment as it is the first ICO project to be attended by many large investors. I think thanks to BanCor that many other projects are known

if success are defined with its current value we can consider stratis and waves I guess since they are already hyping after they been introduce inside
the ico period, if I only foreseen the future a year ahead I should kept my two coins inside my wallet and wait till now and became a rich person after.

Yes, as far as I know, bancor was most successful with a number of funds around $153 million and it was achieved in just 3 hours.

Hope, Starbase, Bowheadhealth, Tomahawkcoin will be successful.

And I am looking forward to the results of Tezos.

as in my opinion the most successful ICO was bancor foundation as far as i read they sell $100 million ether in 3 or 4 hrs... @bucciarati yes its true that to find the most succesful ICO we need a matrix to measure different scale like: participant, market cap investor, numbers of exchanges and trades. By the was there are some part to consider that an ICO will be success [these are in my opinion]
no extra fee platform
lower volatility
partners
advisors
active dev
and pre investor...

The successful ico is base on its projects or future projects like primalbase ,tezos etc. now the ico's are some just like a copy of another and wants to claim only the money of investors and when the coin gets added to exchanges it is below the ico price which makes the investors not willing to invest anymore.

For me. Tezos is the most successful ICO project since it reaches more than 99000BTC. I think this ICO project is likely to have potential in the future as it is of interest to developers and will certainly have its own foundation

NXT ICO was successful only for those who managed to get in. There were only about 100 people. It was not so successful from the other point because everyone knew that the distribution is horrible, it could go much higher actually.

There are so many i didn't see anyone mention eth their ico price was $2-3 i guess i don't remember and the price had gone to $400 if someone was still holding it they could have easily got a profit of $400 per coin. Not only etg nxt ico also made mamy rich , stratis ico , eos , qtum, iota , zcash it never ends there are so many ico. These are just the big ones quantum investors sold at x4 profits. ICO is a eaay money opportunity but you need to do a research before blindly investing in anything.

Depending your plan with the ICOs project you invested. Example: I have invested to project Bitquence but not choose investing when crowdsale, I choose wait this token listed to exchange and dump to lowest price, I have bought a lot of this token and continue wait the price comeback for take profit. For me this project successfully ;)

Populous definitely! One of the best perform coin after its coin release with a steady trend unlike others that immediately get dumped

IOTA of course, it's been thousand times of the initial ICO price. And now the new ICO won't be performed so well because ICO price now is relatively high already.

when we are talking about most successful are the one who stand the test of time not the one who successfully scam the big money of the ICO investors because most of the ICO listings have a bad reputation to their investors some are do re-branding for me this is my list as most successful ICO with long term vision ETH , STORJ and WAVES.

Depends what you mean successful.If you look amount of raised money most of them was successful
Project development that case only few will be successful.Time will tell

Most successful Ico I seen in recent time is waves I am new to this crypto world now bitdice ICO and dimcoin Ico is soing very well I believe it will be also huge success based on my speculation.

all I follow my opinion ICO, ICO is the most successful rivetz because I believe it will be successful with smoothly there is no obstruction of any kind when sale token so that it becomes a good project of all time

Everex is very strong with over 4,000 bitcoins. The blockchain for http://everex.tech launches on September 20 and from there on out will immediately be added on the exchanges. There is still time to join the ICO!

I think the most successful ICO was pillar. It was 60hours ICO but accumulate to have a big fund on their crowdsale. but now it is below the ICO price but hopefully it will come up.

I think social network marketing will be succesfull ICOs in my opinions due to it is not just an ideas
it will be applied to the social marketing and fair Coin Distribution 95% of all coins are available for purchase during the ICO. A maximum of 2.5% of the total supply of coins will be given to promote the product via multiple forms of digital marketing and development. No coins are offered for bounties as all bounty
payouts are in BTC. The Nexus team will be holding zero coins to
ensure that a large majority of the tokens in circulation have been
acquired by real funds to provide a solid market capital foundation.
Here is a breakdown on where all coins will be:
Nexus team 0 SCL
Marketing campaigns 2,500,000 SCL
Pre & Main ICO 47,500,000 SCL
https://ico.nexus.social/

In what aspect of success you're looking at?
Yeah bowheadhealth is successful even now so better to watch out and add it to your list.
I'm looking forward also in bitdice, this ico will be successful soon as the token are almost sold out.
And also adx is indeed a successful one.

Successful in what terms/area? But i think Ethereum is  on top of the most successful ICOs as of now, ETH ICO was one of the first of its kind to put this concept of an initial coin offering on the map. The team successfully raised US$18m over the course of 42 days, making it the number one most funded ICO in cryptocurrency. You could also refer to articles to be able to find/indentify what you're trying to know regarding the most successful ICOs as of the moment.

To me I resolve Tezos because of its across boarder acceptability.

Depends on how you look at it. Do not take anything people say as investment advice. Do your own research.

Successful according to your list is about money raised then. Because Bancor is trading for below ICO price, also had many problems.

Humaniq is a lot of talk, recruitment, with unrealistic biometric banking idea. They already miss milestone. also trading now poorly. Yes, above ICO price but not even 50% if looking at BTC or ETH price people bought it for.

ICOSTATS.com shows the unbiased success. Since money means success.

"Filecoin" showed great dynamics - one of the best for the current time. $200m for 60 minutes!

PAY is making a stand now. It's obviously not one of the most successfull yet, but could become one of them if it keeps it up

Each month we will have new champions here :)

In my opinion the succesfull ico will not based on the result of the fund raiser. I think the best reason to consider about the result of the development of ico itself. You can see a lot of succesfull ico such as iconomi, omisego and decent. that gives a lot of return for the investors.

Fucktoken is the most succesful. No team, no routine... just made hype by ugliest name and got 410 ETH by ICO. Marketcup now more 1 mill

I remembered IMMLA (International Multi Modal Logistics App) made a successful pre-ICO.

Token data also a website with a lot of information on ICOs, it's not updated to the minute but you can use it to search all these ICIed projects out there.

https://www.tokendata.io/

In my own point of view the most successful ICOs are Aragon, qtum and bancor. There are many ICOs are successful today. You could see those tokens in some websites like http://www.tokendata.io// to see the value of tokens in ICOs.

Bancor? I do not think so, as we all know, the bancor ICO is over quickly since this June is a crazy ICO month, but after that, the price of BNT is low and lower then the ico price just a few days later. Recently, the market get worm, but the price of bnt is still low, I do know where is the success.

I usually contribute in ICOs when the application makes sense in the Ethereum ecosystem and I am in no hurry to sell the tokens. I think the idea of smart tokens introduced by Bancor is very interesting and I'm holding my BNT. You can't say the ICO wasn't succesful, because they raised over $150 millions in a few hours, but I don't care about current price since I am investing in interesting projects for the long term.

I have also contributed to Status and TenX ICOs and I will soon receive a TenX debit card they are giving to ICO participants to use crypto anywhere  8). Both are also very promising projects built on Ethereum.

The next one I will join is the 0x project, registration period ends later today and the token sale will take place on August 15th. The 0x is a protocol for ERC20 tokens and some projects such as Melon, Augur, Aragon and district0x are being developed using the protocol. They have created a very democratic ICO mechanism which will prevent whales from buying everything in the first minutes. I am not associated to 0x in any way, but I really like their project and the token sale process they came up with.

In my opinion, it is determined by the amount of money raised from the crowdsale, if the project raised enough funds, it is then considered successful. All the money raised can be used to further develop the project so that it becomes even more successful and recognized all over the world.

In this case, the team behind ICO, make huge profit. There is no guarantee for investors to make profit.
In some ICOs, lots of coins may remain unsold, but after end of ICO, investors earn good profit. 

It is hard to tell which was the most succesful. Succesuful for who?  if you the raise a lot sure the devs make a lot but the best are smaller coins that go up in value a lot. These normally have small ICO's.

I had heard that. What stox had done is really amazing. I think mayweather is the key of their success lol. Adex had also been successful they sold out all tokens in less than 24hours.

Yes adex is one of the successful ICO, stox and a lot more actually. We can determined if the ICO is successful in their crowdsale and if they raised the funds.

I think viberate will have huge succes, I also think xaurum gamma project would be great, it need more time to develop the whole project but I see it as a great project, crypto smart street with robots etc.. you can check for more infos here: http://xaurum.org/gamma/

I think we are talking about the most succesfull ICOs depending on our opinions, experience, analisys fundamental about the ICOs projects that has potential will be more more succesfull and gives us good profit in the future, of course our analisys must use valid data from the developer and official website of the ICOs projects.

i think populaus was passed a very successfull ico ever i seen. And i heard from few days about stox will be the successful ico.

Pretty sure Stratis is the most successful one ROI investment wise from what I had read before, although maybe NEO has surpassed that?

I think ADX is the most successful ICO project at the moment because its price has been x4 in a week and there is a lot of good news about Adex because Adex is working with NEO to create a new market.

According to https://themerkle.com/5-of-the-most-successful-cryptocurrency-icos-to-date/ The DAO raised just over 150 million USD that should put it in contention for most successful ICO despite project being abandoned...

Then according to https://www.coindesk.com/150-million-tim-draper-backed-bancor-completes-largest-ever-ico/ Bancor has been said to be the most successful after it raised approx $153m in ether which IMO pushes it to #1.

Well, talking about Bancor really reminds me of how the price of ETH pumped at that time and cause the Ethereum network to down. Not that usual ICO could cause such thing which is rarely to happen.
but, I think that the outcome is pretty disappointing with this one.
And one thing, Bancor listed as 2nd highest crowdfunding here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_funded_crowdfunding_projects before the page "Investigated because of copyright issue"

it must be ETH, no matter whats your definition of success, its the earliest ico in the world and it has a very big community and giant profits

well now what happens to the ETH it was dump and it will take time to go back on its price .You can go in other altcoins than ethereum it is not the only crypto on top.

 The success of an ICO is to consider the period of funding and the size of the fund. For ICOs that got the fund before the selected date, due to take over by investors, their project is a subject to a lot of factors. The success of an ICO should not stop on the raise of fund but on the implement of roadmap and sustainability of project.

an ico with no concrete plan and looking for volunteers to code and come up with ideas?  lol.  Think that money is being spent mainly by the founder traveling imho

plus they can't explain how their token has any value and may not even care (based on comments from one of their project managers)

Tezos and Bancor are the most successful, because they gathered the most amount of $$$.

In terms of actual Dapp success, BAT seems to have formed some nice partnerships rather quickly, Golem has something working, TaaS and ICN are working as promised.

So this is the most successful ICO that i know for now

Etheroll is a really successful ICO.  It has given investors a huge return relative to Ethereum AND has paid dividends successfully.  Wish I bought it back then instead of now.

Now you have to be really innovative to become successful. Accelerator projects might be the ones..

We dont have any good trigger to assess success. Success it is philosophical category.

In my opinion the most successful ico is coindash. They were able to restore my trust and solve the problem after their coin was stolen. I was amazed over

Deeponion has no ICO, it is 100% community focused. about 90% if for Airdrop and the rest for the team. Privacy and bank in one.

For me the most successful ICO are waves, bancor, stratis, populous and adex. Actually Im surprise with adex as the price now is currently increasing.

as far as I know, bancor was most successful with a number of funds around $153 million and it was achieved in just 3 hours. :o :o

If you mentioned betking like casino ico do you think that bitdice ico can make good results too? Both are casinos with good results in the past, both have big plans for the future and in both casinos we will see new games and different updates and upgrades.
One year ago:
#bitcoin = $580 (up 7x)
#ether = $11 (up 27x)
#ripple = $0.006 (up 25x)
#litecoin = $3.60 (up 13x)
#dash = $13 (up 22x)
OP probably wish to know next big thing in ICO world, I shared some nice message from one telegram group, as you can see some coins are already in their way up, others will have to do a lot of work to break trough and which ico is the next big thing we will see. I also think that casino coins will make something more, kick maybe. And for sure coins from my list will rise more.

check last posts of this guy... scam?

Let me mention some ICO's that are successful and is up until now. They are Ethereum, Waves, and Neo. Look at how they have progressed and become successful altcoins. They are truly revolutionizing.

See the team,dates and price.

Yeah I also saw this guy posting in every thread here. He should be reported as spamming.

As for me I can say that adex is one of the most successful ico since I started here. The campaign just run in two weeks only like the token easily sold out and now adex is pumping hard. They say that this is a Chinese ethereum and this is the next big thing in altcoin world.

One word "Wagerr"

Why you skip ICOs Stratis, Ripple, Qtum, ...? I think they are best ICOs in recently after 3 project as your said, special Ripple the price at now make total ROI of it same from invest to buy Ethereum in 2015.

Criteria for evaluating the success of the ICO is different. If you measure the success of ICO in the value of coins after ICO it will certainly be ETH.

Not for customers/speculators.

Bancor is currently valued at 2.59$,  https://coinmarketcap.com/assets/bancor/ while the ico was 0.01 ETH = 4$ at the time.

I'm having trouble finding the original Tezos ICO Price, but it went from 0.006 to 0.003 this month alone. Crowdsale is just over a month, so i wouldn't call it that great.

Unless you view it from a companies side, i really wouldn't call these the best / most successful ico's.

not all ico will succeed, and every successful ico is not necessarily a good market. So we should choose and examine because each step can menbuat us loss or become rich, but if you want to see ico ico that is busy this can be your reference. coinschedule.com

Tezos & Bancor are the biggest ICO. and good price too, we'll see.

Bancor was perfect for the bounties !!

Right right... As usual there are some ico getting more attention than others. Check bancor, tezos, aragon. These all collected great amounts of money rom the investors. For 2017, these are the best ones I guess.

I guess the most profitable ico for investors don't want too much money. Of course hype around it is important, but it must not be the main thing about the project.

More all the time it seems.

Veritaseum was a big gainer for the few that took advantage of its ICO.

ZRX and DNT did well lately.

I don't like to define "successful" ICO just by the amount of money it raised. Of course it's important but a successful ICO is the one that also managed to organize its crowdsale in a smooth way for the investors and the chain itself, not overloading it. This way you keep your stakeholders trustful in your team's competency and engaged to your project, what is really important in such new technology.

Isn't there a good page out there who shows an overview of all icos with starting price, current price and so on? Saw it recently on twitter but cant find it anymore  :-\

I hold SONM since it was circulated to the market. I suppose that the price will be very profitable, there are many people believe that SONM is a good ICO then going to big Exchanger like Bittrex. I still have not accepted this fact, sonm's price is at a terrible level.

Considering various factors and future prospects, I believe Crypvser is one of most successful ones.

Ethereum, Stratis, NEO, Etheroll, and lately 0x, OMG, and TenX. Finding a successful ICO can be hard but very rewarding.

I agree with you Tezos is the most successful project because it has been a lot of trust of investors but at present we have not seen Tezos appear in the major trading floors because this altcoin is very secret

:D Many ICO success like ETH, Strat and it's come with awesome profit... strat 0.03$ - > 4$ is an ez example for anyone interesting when invest some ICO

all except bitcoin is ico before. but i think the best one is ethereum. dont look any where. just see on coinmarket cap there ethereum on top  ;D https://coinmarketcap.com/ (https://coinmarketcap.com/) with $30,472,691,007 market cap that is alot of money  ;D

coindash with 400% price up, bitquence with around 30x. (both ICOs ended)

A little greed.
No, Extra greedy.
We need our ICO to be mentioned here by users frequently.
Thats what we want. ;D

Filecoin was destined to be the biggest ICO ever, until something went wrong. But I still invested.

Hope we made a same thing in sia competitor File [Suspicious link removed]d project thou

Right now I would say STOX and DeepONION are the most successful ICOs given the price continues rising on a daily basis whereas most ICOs just crash and burn within a few weeks after opening. :P

Ico success is because the concept they publish attract investors, if you want to invest, you can see from the concept they offer, team and dev. If the concept they offer is interesting and you think it has potential for future or profit, it can be invested.

in addition, many supporting parties such as investors and also the participants of the bounty that has been working hard for the success of an ico. it is also of investors ' confidence in the team that controls the ico to be one of the keys to the success of the ico.

Success in terms of financial fund raising the ones are obvious. But I would term a more successful ICO is one that raises the capital they are looking for an now has the resources to carry out the vision. Not every ICO that raises money has the will power to follow the plan through!

For me, it's Stratis good team and plenty of room for improvements. Also, this site might help with data: https://icostats.com/

Yes, you can see from the web that discusses the new ico ico and is campaigning. But one thing you should know, in the world of crypto it is no guarantee. I mean. example. A successful ico project and their successful sales. But after entering on the market their prices are not growing even very cheap. This can not be measured from ico success. But this is a huge market and investors.

I think some of the most successful ICO's are Gnosis, Brave, TenX, and of course adChain!

I think I've read strasis has the best returns overall, although in the future their might be ones that will give it a run for its money.

Not sure if there are any services which will predict the future of ICO for you. However good idea to implement if someone is looking for good start up business idea. :-)


Anyway moving towards best/successful ICO, I would take name social coin. This is launched a week ago and it has gotten tremendous response and investment done through its angel day. The investment is so high that they have already reached the break even point of the project fund raiser. That means they are already success and worth investing.


I will always for the roadmap of the ICO to know whether they are or will be successful in the future. If the investment is being done as per their time,one or expectation and if the project is being executed in professional manner then there is at least a chance to have hot ICO in the list. That's the only way for me to know the best one.

NXT is a successful ICO project and it brings me wealth

There are lots to mention on which there are ICOs which are being succesful and sold out in just a matter of hours or days.Not talking back on common ICOs. I would like to say about Adex and on the recent ICO which is on Hive. I can consider it that its included on most successful ico considering on the cap that they set which seems very very high but still it was still sold out which i cant believe that there are still lots of investors inspite of my icos is popping out now.

My friend advice me to buy bitquence he told me it should be next neo, sky rokets and all this craps but now i am - 40% so I dont know if should i hold for a while or sell it... So my point is that i dont see bitquence liek promising but we will see

There is a bunch of website that show stats on ICOs. icostats.com has been already mentioned and it shows the ROI since ICO. As for the total sum raised, you can check tokendata.io.

Dao.casino (https://dao.casino) had a successful ICO

Also, Crowdholding (https://ico.crowdholding.com) seems like a promising project.

Most succesful as in you want to join now or have been in the past?

There are many now incubators and startups using ICO and many of these companies are specialized and high tech so many might explode and succeed if they are not scams. I think TAAS and POPULOUS are good examples of successful ICO but they still need time to grow.

Filecoin was quite amazingly successful.

Arguably the most successful is Ethereum though - as it has not only resulted in a great return to people who invested in it, but it also showed that the concept works - or at least is working so far.

A lot of ICOs are going result in awful/failed products, whether or not they raise a lot of money.

Maybe it is filecoin. They follow the rule of the USA but they still collected more than 250 millions dollar. I do not know why ICOs need to much money like that. Hope that after the ICO, they can develop more things which will make the world better. There are many successful ICOs, but I have not seen any ICO that have developed everything they promise in the roadmap

That's a good point. Here we come to a criteria of success. Is that the money raised? Or making investors rich? Or actually making what you promised?

I believe that TENX has made a successful ICO, has collected 80 m in less than 10 minutes.
To date, the price has risen by at least 5 times.
In fact, all those who have invested in the ICO are really happy !!
