Bitcoin Forum

This is something that I have been having a bit of a hard time researching. When I type the question I come across results like what is an ICO and a bunch of other nonsense other than what I am actually searching. Can anyone help me out here. Its a curiosity of mine and would highly appreciate to start a discussion here. Looking for nations other than US.

Difficult question, but for sure US has to be #1. Outside you may have to look at the most friendly countries towards Bitcoin listed here (https://news.bitcoin.com/worlds-top-10-bitcoin-friendly-countries/) : Sweden, Denmark, UK, South Korea in particular.

Thanks so much for the info!

Japan, South Korea, China, US, Canada, Germany.... so on

Another matter to consider is not just the size of its ICO investor population but how educated are they about ICOs? The US may be the biggest but they are among the most educated investors who are more reluctant to put money in without any research. I see China as the second biggest market, but with ICO participants who love to put money in and take the risks.

Between the two China is a better target market to raise money if the PBOC didnt ban ICOs.

This is just my guess so it's up to you if you will take it heavily or lightly, base on my understanding China before is the top leading nation that are mostly investing in ICO. We had seen on how they are affecting the market and right now they had ban ICOs there because they've seen on how many Chinese are earning there without being regulated by their government so I guess they are the top tier.

Many investors from Asia and most of them from China, also Russians and Persian Gulf countries. It depends from country of ICO origin, because hugr part of investors - offline investors and it is more simple way to find out this financing in the native country.

Did Russians started to invest more? Just want to better understand their market's potential.

 Hi, according to this https://ru.insider.pro/topnews/2017-10-17/v-rossii-rynok-ico-v-dva-raza-prevysil-obemy-venchurnyh-investicij/ (https://ru.insider.pro/topnews/2017-10-17/v-rossii-rynok-ico-v-dva-raza-prevysil-obemy-venchurnyh-investicij/)
 Russia's ICO market doubled the size of Venture capital market in Russia (From the beginning of 2017th it reached $293mln)

 

I believe they are USA, India, China and Japan

ICO= Initial Coin offering. Try to invest in some ICO's just spot tje legitimate one or with real use cases that will help bitcoin. Most investors are coming from Asia. from China, South Korea,Japan and South East Asia region

If you are interested in specific ICO and which nations: you could check with similarweb.com where the most traffic is coming from. (especially if there is an ICO going on) This could give you a hint...

Indeed. With probably Japan becoming the leader (or co-leader with US) very soon.

So far I know about this issue, China is the biggest country that citizen is involved in this system, but it is also true that after starting regulation on the ICO platform Chinese people have been discouraged to stay away from this system. so that now Japan is one of the biggest contributors in this platform at present.

absolutely right russians  are the top in investing in ICOs as per my knowledge bitcoin is legal there.
A moths back there was chaina who was the top most nation for ICO investing i think after the ban they still in top 10.

According to this forum - Russia (!) and Asia at the first place)

if same US country not support ico project, china, south korea
but if the best ico market rusia, although china and south korea not support ico project, asia still the best market ico project another rusian
because bitcoin user in asia is very big

There's a lot of countries where they are fond of crypto: in Asia, there's China of course (well, there's a lot of millionaires, so, it does account for a lot), but also South-korea and Japan, where they start using bitcoin as a common mean of payment. then, India is also getting into crypto.

In Europe, most of the eastern countries are investing and creating ICOs (although most of theses ICOs are scams). but at least they try ^^
Europe as a whole is not yet interested in Bitcoins. People don't really know what it is, yet.

And USA seems to be pretty balls deep in the cryptomarket :D

US, China, Russia and the rest of Asia - Interesting to watch how the regulation in all the countries develop as that will help determine which countries will be most permissive in hosting an ICO, and in turn which countries will sponsor the most investment dollars going forward.

For me India is the sleeping giant.  At 1.32 billion, India’s population may have already taken over China’s - making it the most populous country in the world. I have read that upwards of 233 million Indians don't have bank accounts.  India has one of the largest remittance markets in the world with a total value of close to $70 billion.

Well, some US citizen don't believe much in ICO due to some ICO ending up as scam but the Japan,South and North Korea, and the Europe Union are the top citizen which invest most into ICO lately.

i would say japan is like a capital now like my friend said, he is a reseacher and owner of his own crypto project said that, he visited many countries lately to find some investors

I think the answer would depend on whether you’re looking at numbers of investors or total $ invested from each country? I seem to see a lot of people from Indonesia in the crypto world but they might not be investing huge sums compared to a wealthy Chinese.

Italy is still a small user of Bitcoin I believe, but this news was cool to read  :) Italian Auction House is First to Allow Bidding with Bitcoin (https://news.bitcoin.com/italian-auction-first-allow-bidding-bitcoin/)

Same with Philippines, one just needs to have a look at the local sections here to see how popular BTC is in various countries.

The citizens of the countries below, I think, are investing most in ICOs and there is data about some of them. Please, If someone knows something about the Lat Am or other listed countries, to verify.

I think us is among the top and other than that asia is a huge market especially japan, korea and china, they represent big percentage of crypto market volume.

the investors are already a lot at the moment, I think already all countries whose people invest in ICO, but there are some countries that very much invest in ICO that is Japan, korea and russia.
hopefully more and more investors from the big countries in the world.

Outside USA I think Japan-South Korea and Singapore all these country invest in ico at large in my view and data analytics of icorating.com stated

Always heard that Switzerland, United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore are the great countries to live in and they are also top leading nations in term of ICOs and crypto's.
