2017 was the year of ICOs and 2018 was the year of exchanges and stable coins. What is the trend of 2019?

IMO, it's IEO. Basically, IEO is an ICO but taking place on an exchange. BitTorrent is a typical example of IEO. Running on an ordinary blockchain (Tron) but BitTorrent was sold out and flying high in the past few days. Its success was contributed a lot by Binance, where tokens are sold.

Since STO needs a lot of guideline and legal framework from government to be completed, I have a strong feeling that IEO will be the trend of 2019. Your thought?

It can be, a strong market needed for that and BTT was well promoted due to Justin Sun and CZ's promotion. But it can be the new trend of this year where these established coins will have their very own airdrop.

Producing another coin that can attract more users to buy first the mother coin where airdrop shall depend on how much you are holding on that certain exchange. Binance and other popular exchange can take advantage of it.

STO is the trend also for this year because mostly now are talking about STO the new version of ICO and this is good for you if you invest. I don't think the year 2018 is stable coins that we experienced because we lose more money because on the year 2018 because the coins decreasing the value not stable the value.

IEO looks even better than STO and as far as i can see that this is running on the Exchange site which mean the platform have already created an agreement with the Exchange site. I guess that has already Given a guarantee for the token will have traded on the Exchange sites too.

Both IEO and STO are will make the hype this year.
And I agree, IEO are much better if they are on exchanges of the rank of Binance and other big names.

Another 2015 or even 2017? :D

But no one can predicts that so just go with the flow and ready to ramp what you are facing. 8)

I've never heard of it, in fact, it's impossible to know what the trends will be! How about nothing? Maybe that's the trend, the reality may be harder than it looks! I'm surprised people do not get tired of being cheated! They are even creating another way to pronounce the word ICO! The truth is that as long as there are you, we will see this party that we are currently attending. :-\

Agree with that, with the success ICO on BitTorrent with binance, i'm sure many ICOs will follow the same way. In my opinion, ICO like that brings more hype and also the chance to sold out the ico is really high. Especially if it placed on big exchange like Binance.

The trend of 2019 is a bearish trend and everyone was expecting it already since the bullish trend will be going to occur next year. So, i wouldn't expect too much and i wouldn't let my hopes get high just because we have seen some small movement in the market. Most of it was a bull trap and it will continue until next year but i hope there is a slight movement going up in the market.

Side trend  ;D Precipitations are expected in the form of small rises, alternating with unfavorable falls, the market is patiently waiting for the approval of ETF and the launch of BAKKT and Fidelity Digital Assets.

2019 already is a year of Lightning network. At end of the year big majority of Bitcoins transactions will happen over lightning and transaction fees will be super small.

I doubt that we will dip much further, there may be a lot of sideways action for the next few months before the next bull run begins. No matter what the market condition is there will always be new coins being launched and some of them will end up wildly successful. 

you are right the new trend will change each and every year if you are correct then it will be definitely grateful for a lots of people and also the trend will not be stable for long time it was the big problem in that people will don't understand how long it gonna be more powerful.

This year so many projects are waiting in this forum. It is good sign for future entity, We also support the consumer satisfaction so make some good noise in the market is the right time. Know we will create a positive response in entire market but current market is still struggling for continuous pump. We will buying continuously automatically new bullish trend happening in this year.

Yes, the market is now in a standby state. We can hope that now is the stage of accumulation. It is possible that the time for cryptocurrency stabilization will begin now, so that in the future, with a clear market trend, there will not be as much volatility as in the past.

My hope is that the big trend of 2019 will be the start of institutional investment - that's when we will see huge price rises. Whether it's realistic or not is another question!
Personally I think BTC will lead the recovery, so 2019 should be a big year for BTC, also maybe ETH depending how successful Constantinople is.

I do not think ieos will be dominant because there are no more big exchanges to do that only binance seems eligible exchange but that can not run multiple icos on their platform at a time so that will not be feasible either. I think stos can be the next positive change in the market if regulators set sops and make environment suitable for them to proceed.

Maybe a slow move from the market to go uptrend again, hopefully we can reach the high level again. The trend that never stop is the accumulation period so I think we should be more aggressive, and have this chance to invest on good coins for us to gain profit again, its the best time to hold more. 

Maybe will time for STO but in Q3 or maybe Q4 2019. Because when ICO be trend it is not really famous first and then because of investor that stuck in some ICOs, maybe wait until they get their profit back.

I can not see any real trend for 2019 yet. STO and IEO are now on the market, but neither is so trendy. For a real trend, the year is still a bit too young to recognize it properly.

How about the new trend is the market trying to recover the price, there will be more new projects but with using the other network as the base because the trend for ethereum as the base still cannot rise. But we are still at the early of the year, and we need time to see what is the new trend in 2019, and I think it will happen after March or April in this year. So let's wait for the new trend will appear to us.

I agree with you that the IEO will be a trend in 2019, because there are a lot of projects that have been successful through the IEO this year and some large exchangers also support IEO such as Binance and Coinbene

Well tbh regardless if its ICO, STO, IEO or etc
I believe it just a "way" to market and get funds from public with differents way but still end up as a "cryptocurrency"

Anyhow launching an ICO on an exchange isn't that bad, however it create some sort of "false positiveness because of how the ICO is conduct"
Look at BTT, it is almost 7x of its ICO price since it is sold on Binance
I believe if every ICO is conduct on binance, it would eventually sold off in time and get pump mostly because Binance is on of the exchange with most liquidity

It seems to me that, first of all, the main goal is to convince a potential investor in the prospects of his project. Interested in your product and raise funds to your side. advertising quality plays a big role.

I can't see a new trend yet. ICO, STO, IEO is anyway somehow almost everything the same and this trend seems to be no longer topical. I don't see a trend for 2019 yet, but that may change in the course of the year. It would be enough for me if the trend in 2019 is towards in rising crypto prices.  ;)

IEO was already happening back then when exchanges act as escrow for the funding of a project, this had already been happening around 2015-16. Bittrex once did it with DAO and some other projects. STO might be the next thing for the regulations are already being laid. SEC is now involve unlike what we had before. Its all the same though, its just getting money from investors for the development.

   2019 doesn`t have a shape yet. We see crypto-currencies where they are, some are struggling to
survive, others are keeping what they got until now.
   Except big announcements we still haven`t seen realization. This year started with some prices that
still holds, temporary ups and downs, we hold some position.
   This year just started. Wait a bit more before we announce any trend.

I thnk we are going to see 3 different phase 1-Capitulation (short period of time maybe 1 or 2 weeks), 2- Accumulation (half of the year), 3- the rise (I think we are going to see more than 8k levels at the end of the year- the other half of the year)

On this issue I will rather sit on the fence, Binance started this and the first project listed on their platform this year gave huge returns for investors so far but could this be a trend I don't know. Binance said one project per month on their ICO pad, that means 12 projects per year, will other exchanges join them, I can not tell, because only selected few among these exchange has the level of influence Binance has in the space

I believe 2019 is the year of market recovery, expert predicted that there will be a great fall in the price of Bitcoin, which we have seen already, the market has corrected itself and its now time for an uptrend. 2019 will be the year we know go mainstream. FYI (already happening).

Moreover, many people were expecting a sideways markets but suddenly bitcoin market found a good momentum toward $4k levels and its further movement may decide the fate of crypto space.

This year all are waiting for the good news so too many adoption and acceptance is possible in this year. May be Chinese New year is one of the reason to moving forward and majority of the crypto signal experts are told in Bitcoin pump. It is completely depends on demand and supply so some countries are trying to accepting the crypto currency.

Supply and demand can be manipulated in this industry. That's why we hear everyday different types of FUD. Speculators uses tricks for trapping others for their own benefit and they are successful. Current BTC pump can be a bull trap.

In this year we are going to see trend reversal and the start of a new cycle. I don't mean we are going to see a new all time high in this but we are going to see some nice correction.

Yes thats what i think off . Currently one project i will participate did change plans from ICO to IEO . Not sure on which exchange they will do it , but hopefully on Binance or Latoken . All projects that was doing IEO on Binance did raise sucessfull funds :) While ICO's struggle to raise funds

I think the IEO has been one of the forms of mobilization that is quite interested by many investors and often invests heavily in it because it's quite safe by its price.
STO is also quite good because our risk investors now also need to get protection from the government and the law.
Both will be 2019 trends but I will appreciate the IEO more. Because I just need to rate its community and its partner to invest, very easy and easy money.
STO still has its risk if the project finances are not used best.

When bitcoin is in trend everything will be in the upward direction which even causes the ICO to be in trend at 2017 but now the condition is different the new projects might nit grt too much of investors because lot of people lot huge amount from those useless projects.

yes I hope this year can be like in 2017 and all coins can experience a large increase and more crypto holders and traders can return. because this year is a good trend for the crypto market

In any case, you can predict anything, but the situation in the cryptocurrency market will directly depend only on the interest of the investor in the cryptocurrency. If the investment flow in cryptocurrency increases, then the market situation will improve dramatically.

until now I see there is no positive trend regarding market conditions , now it's too risky because almost all the coins go down and go up so fast, maybe after the mid-year the bull season will arrive

the trains are not stay for a long time period because it changes its quality every time so people will not stay at one point for a long time it will affect the mindset of investors that they are previously invested money will not return to them in correct time.

if it will continue to be Trend in the whole year then I definitely had a some confidence with STO and make it more useful for lots of people and the trend is always most important for everyone to be get money in quicktime.

It's difficult to make any prediction at that time of the market. Just trying to predict any trend is even more difficult, but in my opinion do not think we will see unpleasant things, the market is showing little optimism in recent days.

Airdrop through exchanges won't work. We can't say that it's going to be the new trend, just because we have seen it as successful idea with binance. There will be some ICOs going to held by this year but it's not going to be the same as 2017. Some projects will try to do it because they still believe that it's the most effective way to gain popularity and gain funds through conducting that. The new trend setter would be for this year depends on the movement of the market.

The stock market seems to be experiencing more destruction this year. We must understand that the stock market and the crypto market is closely related to financial management institutions or banks, so far crypto and stocks have survived between two different government regulations or policies (both under pressure).

The stock market is very dependent on other market instruments, such as other stocks, equity, banks, etc. But bitcoin and cryptocurrency are not dependent on this, other than the trust of the users. Now, if we believe that the cryptocurrency's performance is like that, why does crypto's growth feel so difficult to realize, IMO this certainly's inseparable from the attitude and behavior of its users, for example:

• Until now there are still many crypto users who are still easily affected by poor media coverage and FUD.
• Crypto manipulators are allegedly still playing here, this assumption ultimately weakens the trust of the public and users, against crypto currencies.
• The hope of getting instant profits is very high. I'm very sure, this kind of hope can actual make someone easily ignited by emotions, especially when prices decline even though the price only falls slightly. No wonder, if in the end the user character like this's very easily carried away by the current of panic.
• Etc.

Well if the stock market's destroyed, of course many investors will look for other alternatives that can benefit them for example the crypto market. Understanding the situation and conditions of the stock market, I think it's almost the same as the crypto market, so it is possible they will make the cryptocurrency market as their new land in seeking profits. If this can happen, maybe the trend this year will be the 'biggest trend' for the growth of cryptocurrency.

Uptrend will be the major trend this year, we heard a lot on thi one now and the market is pretty obvious that we are pumpng hard. Its good for you to come early right now since the major uptrend is about to begin and make time to come in for some profit.

This can be happen this year since most of the coins now will do their best to bounce back. Major coins now are challenging the resistance, and if they succeed on the first level for sure they will try harded to break another resistance. Let’s hope that the trend this year will end up like this, more time to grow again.

I like your opinion. In addition to that, I think this year will also be the year for crypto’s tight regulation for screening the altcoins being released unlimitedly. And maybe this year also will be there are many crypto atm cards be released.

Possibly since the IEO of Bittorent was a huge success. I guess it still depends on the marketing strategy of the team who will handle the project because Justin Sun is one of the well known marketing strategist. Based on what I observe of my whole year in cryptocurrency, most ICO will follow the success of another ICO or just copy their strategy. I also seeing lots of IEO nowadays and LATOKEN is one of those exchanges who supports this type of start ups. Well, Binance is on a different level so that is why Bittorent is now on a bullish trend.

In 2019 I think everyone will work hard to get back on the positive track. The market must be able to pump and thus will make Crypto again have great popularity. And what makes me sure is that in 2018 the market has collapsed and in 2019 this condition will definitely be reversed.

I am coming across this IEO for the first time though have been in this cryptocurrencies market for long.  I know about tron very well and I am holding some unit of tron but this IEO is quite new to me.  Since is the trending things I will like to know more about it in other not to be left behind.  2017, I was able to take the advantage of icos and make some money and I thought the icos was still favourable in investing in 2018 but I lose alot of money.  I think this thread is good for some of us the investors.

I agree with you IEO will be a trend this year if you look at what happened to BTT.
I am sure there will be more IEO that will be raised and succeeded if done by a large exchange that can be trusted.
because now the trust is of great value than the promise.

This is the year to accumulate coins, it is not very sexy but it is what it will bring you great profits in the future, all of those that tried to buy coins at the end of 2017 failed and lost money, the ones that really won in that market were the ones that bought coins when the market was not doing very well in 2014, 2015, 2016 or at the beginning of 2017, following that logic the ones that will do great are those that bought their coins during the end of 2018 or buy them in 2019 and 2020 and hold until the bull market comes.

Many people predict that this year's market increase will occur again, even though at this time we haven't seen any signs of this increase but in 2019 it is still very long, we can still wait for it, hopefully the increase will really come.
