Hi guys , what is the most successful ICO of all time and what contributed to their success...

Depends what you mean by successful, because amount of cash is important but a lot of large companies have received millions and gone under. I would still say the most successful is ETH because they are flourishing after an ICO.

Agree. I'd definitely say ETH. Look at all the ICOs going on nowadays and see how many of them are ERC20 tokens. I don't think ETH will ever really challenge Bitcoin, but it's the only altcoin that has ever been in the same discussion with Bitcoin.

I participated in the Blackmoon  crypto ICO few days back. I am thrilled by the active response and involvement the team takes with the community. The tokens were distributed within 8 days of finishing the crowdsale. And within 2 hours of tokens being distributed, it was trading at etherdelts, liqui and Tidex! BTW, its still cheap if you want to grab some.

the success of the ICO is depends on the promotion strategy and the campany have reputation the world of the investment, you need read the ICO you want to join or to invest or buy the token, i suugest with you my friend to learn about the electreneum and try to invest.

People who got in on NEO made an absolute killing.  It could proceed to tank dramatically and they will still be well off.

Eth was for sure one of the top ICO wich had made a lot people rich if they had holded a bit, the smart contract feature did boosted a lot ICO and its a usefool implementation to bitcoin adopt as well, but i did saw Tezos were a big ICO wich took a big funds dues to their roadmap and project itself.

After ethereum of course very successful icos was tezos , eos and bat. i wished i invested in ethereum when it was a dollar

The most successful ico was nxt. ico price was 12 sat. Time right now is ardoung 1700 sat. Another successful ico was Spectrecoin. Token price in BTC at ico was 118 sat. Price now hovers around 10k and 15k sats. You can check ico prices in usd, eth or btc via https://icostats.com/.

nxt has the highest return because they only raised like 15k$

Agreed. From an investors point of view this is right. The ICOs which raised the most capital ever are Tezos with $230,498,884.00 USD, EOS & Filecoin with $200,000,000.00 and Bancor with $153,000,000.00.

Recently, the most successful ICO is the aventus since the ICO is over in just 7 minutes, and now the price is not below the ICO price for a long time though the cypto market are dumping.

i join some ICOs recently and pick on monaco, not only their ico which success less than 1 week but the coin in market can be more than ICO price, not like their other competitors

Modum was a very nice ICO. The whitelist sale was sold out pretty fast and they raised a lot of money.  Another good ICO was Blackcrypto moon, great team, great partners and sold out very fast

Most ICO are successful. And for the ICO to be said successful it must reach its soft cap or the minimum tokens they wanted to sell. And if you want to determine if it is so successful if it reaches its hard cap, the maximum tokens they wanted to sell.

The most successful ICO ever was for UET -- the Useless Ethereum Token.

Someone spent about 20 minutes creating a token, maybe an hour building a website, then announced an ICO for a token that does absolutely nothing. People gave him over $40,000. For a useless token that does nothing and never will. As advertised. Brilliant!

If the token is this much low till this time then it is not been consider as a successful ICO. I recently noticed Dentcoin has intially find the amount what you said and after its value reaches to more 5 USD per coin. We need to choose the coin with the future potential else don't need to invest to it.

It is definitely ethereum. It is the most commercial success in cryptoworld with returning lot of profits to early adopters. Nowadays I believe there are new candidates to be eth 2.0.

I think Qtum is one of the best ICO right now. They collect $15,000,000 and now, their marketcap is more than $500,000,000. although I do not follow their project, I still think that they are the best ICO up to now. The second can be monaco. Its price has increased for few weeks and they have already created a new app for card users

ETH is third on the list. (https://icostats.com/roi-since-ico)

PPT,VERI,0x, kyber, chainlink- this one will be a legend they are alraeady trading on etherdelta

this year I saw the most successful ICo was Monetha (MTH) with 95000 eth in less than 18 minutes. And although the price is still small, they have many people in the community. That will make the price go up and make the community proud.

'Ethereum' of course
But lately, and if we take the amount of funds raised into consideration; we can mention filecoin, tezos & EOS (that is still ongoing)

On this website you can see the ROI of some ICOs: https://icostats.com/roi-since-ico (https://icostats.com/roi-since-ico)

Current top ICOs (ROI in fiat currency):
1) NXT +419138%
2) IOTA +133144%
3) ETH +92652%
4) STRAT +70425%


Current top ICOs (ROI in bitcoin):
1) ETH +14340%
2) NXT +14015%
3) STRAT +11670%
4) IOTA +10724%

Veritaseum was a very successful ICO in terms of price. At one point the price of the token hit over 1:1 per ether. I think it has a very promising future. Black Moon Crypto was also very well organized and didn't have a single issue.

Impressive stats

I just made an infographic of the TOP 30 successful ICOs in 2017. You can check it here https://twitter.com/iamcrumplecat/status/911672985878134785 or here https://i.imgur.com/q3AlJC1.png. Over 9 months of 2017, more than $2 billion have been raised

many many more ICO successfull i can't remember how many ICO announce here in bitcointalk are very successfull helping of the people promoting the the ICO's in all aspect of marketing strategy to become successfull the project, like this xaurum gamma under manage of mr. yahoo i wishing the success of this campaign.

Ether definitely  ;D

which is the most successful ICO in the sense of raising the highest market cap?

what contributed in the success?

To me I believe it is NXT, followed by IOTA. because both project carried out their ICO before ICO hit this state and those that did participated in their Ccrowdsale must have seen the big picture that we are missing

all those coin are indeed among top succesfull coin but only ETH that could gain that much capital until now that significantly decrease bitcoin dominance.
If i were to say which one is the most succesfull based on many aspect, I'd choose ETH over them.It's simply thousands percent of ROI and 2nd highest capital of cryptocurrency.

Oh come on, at least read what the op is asking about! The question was not about a coin which got success because of icos but about the successful icos themselves! Eth, as you probably know, is not an ico but a platform for them.
I didn't invest in this ico but I was watching carefully how it was going and intend to buy some coins now, just wait for my btc to be sent on Liqui. I think this ico might be a game changer. At least, their marketing is absolutely amazing.

Very correct.

If an ICO raises a lot of money and has delivered very little, that's a failure, not a success.

Many projects fall in this category.  Some have raised multi millions and after 2 years, they have delivered no software.

I have seen Bitquence rises from $.05 to $1.25.Huge return.
Civic from $.10cent to $.70.
Monaco from $1 to $15.

Let us see which new upcoming ICO will rock in near future.
BitClave,KICKICO are very promising.

i think is ICON raised 150.000 eth in 6 hours :o :o :o

The marketing strategies and the most unique projects which were launched, got the success in first place. There is no ICO which can survive in the market if they have not done any advertising or marketing. I have seen many ICO like social coin for instance who started the marketing of their services few months before the crowdsale started. It was not just signature campaign, but it was more social marketing too. This let the people know something new is coming and they can be ready within the time limit. This way many investors can get ready and invest the money. I think that's the only thing which makes ICO successful. You can know the intention from that.

it can be said etherum is the most successful ICO, and I can not imagine the initial user when buying etherum tokens below market prices, it could be said every investor has hundreds and even thousands of etherum when first bought, and very possibly very rich at this time, I want to repeat things like this by looking for other ico potential lol

The top three are NXT, IOTA , Ethereum. Good idea and active developers and luck made them to be successful . It's really hard to find another project like these three.

I think Bancor and Monaco are the two ICO projects I think are the most successful because these two projects are selling very fast in a very short time and they have very well developed their platform and now these projects are all very well. very high price

i think so too

I think the best of the three is the eth. Eth is widely known and used by the upcoming ICO as a payment or buying their tokens. Eth proves that it will survive of all time and can be also used in the future for converting your eth in fiat currency. Seeing this token to be more popular in the future.

That's nice to look at though how many people actually made some more money from their investments? I see reviews on Ethereum, not so much the other ones.

If you are talking about ICOs then the more successful are Tezos and EOS!
