I have some question and still not answered. Why every ICO have a different rate to ETH.  For example the project A have a rate 300X = 1 ETH and Project B have a rate 2000B = 1 ETH. Is there's some factor to made the rate different ? Whats value made some ICO more expensive than others ICO. If anyone know just share your opinion. Thanks

I think developers set the course for the future of the token, calculated according to his formula, depending on the seriousness of the project, labor costs and development costs. Therefore, each project has its token rate.

I think there are few factors involved that determine the average price, for example, total supply of the tokens and hard cap, distribution of the tokens and minimum funds required to develop the project, these are called token economics, to be frank i do not like the projects that put a high price per token during the ico, low priced icos have huge margins to grow while expensive ones have low profit margins.

You are a full member you should know better.
One should look at the hard cap/market cap to determine the value and potential of the project and arrive at whether the coin is expensive or underpriced.
Why are some ICO raising so much? Maybe the founders are greedy or maybe they really need so much fund to roll our its roadmap.
In any case, do your own due diligence

Generally speaking, this is related to the total amount of money issued, generally 1eth= how much coin is converted according to the proportion of usd, so the proportion of each coin is different.

Yes I agree with everyone above. there's multiple factors on why they choose that: market cap, token supply, where eth's price is at.

Each company chooses the price of the token.
As a rule, the less the price of one token, the more Hard Cap
I have seen a lot of coins which on ICO cost 1-2 cents, and after doing x10, or more
I myself participated in one ICO, where the price of one token was $ 10, now it costs 4-5 $

Mostly its because the supply of their coins, the fluctuation in eth and of course how much they think there business is worth. Also they have to set a realistic goal to get investors on board

Different ICOs are taking different approaches. Some of them see their finances in terms of ether, so they set a rate and don't change it. Other fix the rate at the last moment.

In both cases the investor has to make a decision at the last moment to see if the market cap makes sense.

Yeah I know that so many speculation answer but I still dont know the rasional answer. And I have a speculation and opinion too before make this topic. Thanks for your opinion dude

easy example, see farmers, they plant and require maintenance and other costs. when the harvest time, surely they calculate all the capital and want the best price, hope get the profit and continue the planting again.
the capital between chili farmers and onion farmers is different, so is the selling price in the market.

the same thing as ico, they have targeted their token price, so their project goes well and according to plan.

Because they have to set their token value based on the amount of stakes created for the ICO.

It depends on the developers,they will set an initial coin price,based on their hard cap.

Yeah its true if we seen with perspective like that. Some case in reality , dev made a good rate just for raised many fund from investor and finally ending with nothing. They just made good from outside but unhealthy inside.  Thanks om jo :D

There's a bunch of reasons for this: mostly it depends on the time point when their are planning their budget with a fixed eth/usd rate.

Because the price keeps changing.

Also they will have made calculations before the price change.

It depends to the ICO's developers they will set a soft and hardcap,ethereum price is set considering the timespan they need to get the targeted price of the token.

Supply                          .

demand of the project maybe

The team chooses to measure the financing in cryptos or USD. If they want USD then they have to fix a different rate depending on eth price.

Mostly it was because of the total supply and the hardcap of the ICO. Some currency has huge amount of supply, so the price should be lower for each coin.

I believe it can be analyzed basing on a simple logic. The law of supply and demand. I think that cryptos has its own way of tokens or coins economy. Factors such as the price, the speed of distribution of the tokens and funds, at the same time the capping or limits of the token. I think these are the factors and reason why ICO have a different rate to Eth.

because each ICO has different targets, and the value of coin that is issued in ICO has different decimal in each ICO and the price is also determined by the ICO maker itself, therefore the price of each ICO has a different rate

because ICO prices are determined by ICO makers themselves, and ICO makers vary. then that's the rate every ICO with ETH has a difference

Because of the different amount of ICO because of the total volume, the price of each token is different, so the corresponding amount of ETH is different.

In general, the team will calculate the amount of money in the ICO in dollars, and then these dollars correspond to ETH, and then the total amount of tokens that can be obtained, that sounds interesting.

The developers of each ICO project set the cost of their token themselves, at their discretion. It takes into account many factors: the number of tokens produced, the importance and perspective of the project itself, the efforts spent on its development and implementation, the funds spent, the vision of the price of the released token for its most favorable circulation, and much more. Many developers, apparently, overestimate the price of released tokens to show the importance, uniqueness and good perspective of their projects.

That's normal, but rate changing will make token supply changing. The total value of company is estimated, so the price depend on the supply. If Price high, you can buy less token, but the total token less too.

This is my question too, may be its because of supply?

more supply of coins will cost less and less supply will cost more. just like you example 300X = 1 ETH and 2000B = 1 ETH but in the end
300X = 2000B. the one that decide the ratio is the developer and every ICOs have different developer.

It is specified by the developer, every project has a goal or its own strategy, maybe also the consideration of the rate of eth to be one thing for how much supply they will make. This is just my speculation only because I do not know exactly how it was made.
