This as been a question running through my mind always. All ICOs have their ICO price and sales price.  The ICO price is usually lesser than the market price (that is why people invest to make profit when its listed).
But this days when coin is listed the price drop drastically much more than ICO price which left the investors of no profit.
What could cause this drop when listed?
Let's hear our own though please.

man, there's a lot of reasons things drop. Can you send a link to a few graphs that display the kind of pattern you are talking about?
Off my head:
One is the airdrop receipients or Dev team IMMEDIATELY dump
Two you are looking at a graph on coinmarketcap.com, which began quite some time after the project officially "released".

It should be known that some project are unorganized they put up a particular amount during initial coin offering sale but when they list it gets dumps due to poor idea or project. Another could be activities from bounty hunters whose interest in on a short term basis

There is bound to be a drop in price WHENEVER Sellers are more willing to sell than buyers are willing to buy- simple supply-demand rule. In most cases ICO participants are given way more discounts than necesary, so they try to sell off and gain profit. Bounty hunters who gained coin almost free may be willing to sell off not considering the initial price of coin.

I can't remember on how many times this question has been asked. But the reason for this is very simple.

People who invested and the team that has created that ICO starts to D-U-M-P that token when its gets on exchanges.

in my opinion why the price on the market could fall and not match the ICO price because many of the coin holders sell cheaply, so the coin price goes down ... and this is usually done by bounty hunters who want to get a small profit ... and investors who receive big bonuses also usually do the same thing ... because when they are able to benefit from the amount they invested in ICO ... they will also sell at a low price ...

Its because of dumping usually the it happens on any ICO coins/token after when it was listed on any exchange specially when the project is not yet fully functional no working product and services that resulted in no active token utilization resulting in dumping from the ICO participants and some Bounty hunters.

There are many reasons for this kind of situations! every projects always offering 10% to 50% extra tokens for buying when running ico or ieo! and otger reasons bounty participants wants to instant money and they demand cheap price when token goes for exchange!

Now there are not many good ICO projects to invest in, why are you investing in ICOs? while IEOs are often more profitable

  concerning this question, i used to think Airdroppers and bounty hunters were the cause of prices of token dropping below ICO price as soon as its listed .
But recently i have seen ,some projects that developers locked  all Bounty hunters rewards , yet the token still go far below ICO price.
so with this i think the early investors who got a huge percentage of bonuses  or developing Team are also part of this price dump .

I believe its because of tokens distributed to partners, to participants of private sale(with very big discount or huge bonus),tokens distributed to team members. As soon as coin or tokens get listed to exchanges, some portion got sold out. Regulations to crypto will definitely solve this situation. Also I see its kind of strategy from projects and exchanges where its listed, because without any trading volume, people may consider this project as dead or zero demand.
Its always better to invest in ICOs, IEOs after they list on exchanges.

The drop in price happens because there is a lot of fake and hype during the ICO created by the team. You never know whether they really collected the money they claim to have collected and then on the exchange the real price for the token gets revealed. Or no tokens have been sold at all but they just say they sold some, get listed and sell them there.

Because some people who have hold that token sell it like grazy on the market.
that's why price drop dramaticly more than ICO
Who are sell it? Maybe developer, exchange people, bounty hunter or investor need money fast.

As you know when investors invest in ICO's,the price is lower than exchanges and after launch they wants to earn profit on investment that's why sold and dum the coin or token.

I used to wonder about this too but I later found out that there are many weak hands who are eagerly waiting for coins to be listed on exchange so that they will sell off, so I think that's more reason for drop in price.

Various factors influence the price: 1 - did the team carry out a bounty program. 2 - Investors at Pre - ICO who bought at a discount. 3 - The team itself can merge tokens and bring down the price.

This is a common occurrence during this time, the price of a token has decreased after listing on the exchange. even though it should be calculated then the price increases and is much higher than pre-sale. for me this problem starts from a project that is not ready yet, the project does not have a product or idea that has good value. so in my opinion every project should be able to build an image much earlier and they don't rush into listing.

because every single person that is involved in an ICO token from bounty beggars and investors to the owners themselves have zero faith in the token. their only goal is to make a quick amount of money from something so risky such as ICO.
so as soon as they gain the ability to dump the token they don't hesitate to do so which is why ICO token prices tank as soon as they are listed on an exchange and obviously after that they continue going down because they are useless.

I think the reason that the prices of new altcoins when listed on exchange market drop is because of dumpers who greeds to exchange their altcoins. Lots of these dumpers lacks the patient to hold their altcoins for long term to earn a great amount of profits but they still do dump it which affects the price of altcoins.

Huh, it looks like I'm tired of seeing questions like this, but I will try to answer you.
That such ICO is nothing more than a hype that only collects funds for their own benefit even though they actually don't really develop the project seriously. Therefore ICO is now being abandoned by investors and turning to the IEO.

Most people blame bounty hunters. But let's bear in mind that these bounty hunters normally have up to 1% of the tokens. I will blame some of the team members or advisors who possess a large amount of coins and dump it when it is listed.

They don't demand for a cheaper price, bounty hunters dump their token to received the reward and the big investors are just waiting for the bottom so he can become a whale on that specific coin. This is normal ever since, I think if the coin goes high after the exchange listing then the hype is strong and after that, you can just the price starting to go down. I've witnessed many coins like this, but most of them are still on the market which is a good sign of not a shitcoin.

All want to take advantage so the price seems to fall but it is all just a process so the price can go up again depending on the strength of the product, there are those token continue to lose and become shit tokens but there is also a return increase depending on developments so don't panic when a token drops down by the way if the product is successful it will rise again and become a bigger profit.

Yes, the allocation from bounty is only 1 to 2% of the number of tokens sold.
Project developers always have a way to increase the price of the coins they make, but if the products they have are not in accordance with the road map plan, I think the price of coins will continue to fall, but for developers who want to increase the price of tokens quickly they will burn tokens when the tokens not sold. this will reduce the total number of tokens and reduce the supply of tokens

This is really true and I think this is the main reason for coin drop when listed. The bounty hunters sell at the rate they wish so as to sell and gain since the coin was gain for free. And few of the ICO use to do buy back to raise the price

I think the dumping is really caused by the team behind the project and not bounty hunters. Things have really changed in recent times unlike sometime past when it was really profitable to invest in ICO projects. Investors could easily make profit both on the short and long term.

maybe because the project was not so good, investors were competing to sell tokens they had bought and the buyers who were not too many were causing the tokens to be registered when they dropped

The market situation and the inexperience of the team have a big portion in this regard. Maybe, they also try the best level of presentations, but the result is so different from what is expected. But, in any case it is always possible to be better.

It is because of the pre-sale investors who bought cheap tokens for selling to the next buyers. Exchanges are not running for free, they also have a price tag for listing the project, after getting listed exchange team will be paid in the token which will be used for the next dumping process.

price determined by market force so at first you need to create the demand of your token and high liquidity and a real product so then price will not dump :)

A drop in price once listed is one of the factors or characteristics of a new project. That is, once listed there are investors who would like to regain their capital thus selling. Some might even be afraid to keep selling not minding the price; then this is where the team sets in. The team can't control price from dropping, but they can set in plans which will help the price to gradually rise, therefore the importance of investing in a project with good team.

This is no more new things and happenings, most especially when it comes to listing of coins.
Most ICOs behave that same way, but in order to avoid this, some of this projects usually wait for their products to be ready and also to ensure they have done the necessary marketing. Through that success is imminent.

I agree with him, the hunter bounty seems to be the cause of falling prices when registered in exchange.
this is detrimental, because with that opinion dev makes an annoying rule. sometimes dev delays bounty hunter payments for a long time.
the policy must be evaluated.

Actually, not in all cases. The price already dropped even before they send those coins to their bounty hunters. I have seen a lot of situations like that. And how can you blame those hunters? They don't even have their tokens yet. So I'm thinking, the culprit might be those investors who bought the tokens at a very cheap prices because of so many discounts or the team themselves.

Because investors are selling that's why.
Normally this doesn't have to pose an issue but owing to the fact most team just promises one thing or the other just to get funds, thus most investors doesn't want to be left out thus selling as fast as possible. But when the project tends to move well, they tend to buy back too so as to make more profits or cover lose.

Many factors why investors sell when token first traded on the market. It could be because the bonus that was given at the time of pre-sale was very large and the first investor tried to take advantage by selling the bonus

The first thing that makes prices go down when the listing is the absence of buy wall or demand is usually related to the usefulness of subsequent coins or proggress coins so that there are no buying enthusiasts, this is sometimes made worse by bounty hunters who need money and / or early investors who get bonuses when presale.

This topic has often been asked by everyone here. No one has yet confirmed with certainty about this. There is only a mistake to blame each other when the price falls when it's already flat. There are a number of things that might be the cause that people often say is that Bounty Hunter throws tokens at low prices, investors who have lots of tokens and when they are registered, throw them away. And also Dev from projects that might have a large allocation directly sell and leave the project. That's what often happens when one another blames it.

Most of the times people invest in ICO to make quick profit, so when they bought the coin they will expect bonuses and then when it hit the exchanges then they will sell all their coins, the bounty hunters also sell their coin, it causing a huge dump in the market and after that usually the investors not interested in the coin after they see a huge drop, so usually there won't be any bouncing price after the coin hit the exchanges

Why does the price fall? It is obvious:
- crypto market capitalization is constantly changing;
- many projects do not reach the stage of the finished product;
- incorrect marketing policy of the project team on the sales stratum (for example, large bonuses for the purchase).
Here are just a few reasons.

many people think prices fall because investors sell too much. some say because of the token bounty. and some believe prices can fall because the chosen exchange is not good and does not have a large enough trading volume.

but for me, this problem happened because of the team and the project. if only they could control rumors and prioritize quality rather than profit, this would never happen.

You know that even projects that get hardcaps, sometimes doubt the listing in a large exchange. because the fees are too high. and the team is too optimistic, while investors don't want to wait long, this is what causes prices to fall.

Generally, the new coins that are newly listed on the exchange will always have dropped price. It may be caused by some factors in common:
1. Investor/developer strategy to take the coins for themselves.
2. The big selling from bounty or airdrop hunters
3. New coins are less of the trust and value.
4. The starting process of a token or coin in the new listing influenced by the market members.
But I'm sure that the good coin with the real product will have a significant increase in this price on the exchange or market.

It is really depends on the marketing strategy of the devs, it usually has a great factor in terms of pricing, I noticed that a coin that has a good team and focus on the roadmap has a good and consistent price in the market unlike those coins that has already abandoned by thr team usually it is just like a meteor rapidly  hitting the ground.

Maybe participant disappointed on what the plan of the developer to the project that cause selling the price at low price or maybe its marketing plan is not good to make people satisfy to the project goal and mostly some bounty hunter sell quickly their reward even the price is in the lower actual selling price.

Many various aspects cause a decrease when listed, whether from investors who sell bonuses from the ICO continuously from bounty participants or from the developers themselves.

in the first instance, the price at ico are mostly on realistic, a project will put ico price at $0.01 per token/coin even when they know that the token those not hold any value at that time, investor will buy regardless then the real value will be determined by the market when it get listed on the exchange, so maybe when project owners start reducing their initial coin offering price to the lowest minimum then there will be increase in price when listed on exchange.

This is a failure of the dev to convince investors to hold their coins.
The job of the hunter is to promote the project and after that they are free to sell or hold.
most dev is more focused on the project and does not think about prices in the market, that is another reason the price of coins falls when listed on the market.

Don't you think it is already too obvious? People buy the ICO coins during the funding process and get it cheap and the earliest people get it even cheaper on the first stages of the funding and then when it comes out they are already profiting double the price they got in so they are selling it.

Yes, that creates a problem because of the sale wave that makes panic sale happen and the coin goes down more than the ICO stage but the main starting point is always people who bought it cheap and sold it at the top prices to make a profit, what happens afterwards is not directly that but it is an indirect cause of it. If someone gives you 100 dollars worth of ethereum for only 50 dollars wouldn't you take it? And wouldn't you sell it to make sure you are not scammed? Same idea.

There are many reasons why prices fall after being listed. But I think the main reason is due to market volatility and because those projects distribute bounty too soon. So it causes the token price to fall down many times

There are many reasons why coins drop in value after getting listed e.g dev teams can dump ,bounty hunters can dump as well or even airdrop hunters but if the coin has a working product it will recover in time

First instinct most of the people have is to sell so the price goes down.

The main reason for the coins has dump is because the bounty hunters sell all of the tokens in the market at a one-time price and it filled the order buy to the lowest price. That makes the price of the token was hard to increase back if the project doesn't have good support from the dev and the teams. That is what happens to every token that releases on the market, but if the tokens or the project is very good and strong, they can increase in a long time.

Actually this can be prevented. by conducting trading competition events. and in the selection of the dev, you have to be able to find a good one, this will greatly support price increases or the potential for large dumps

Agree, there are many ways cause the tokens drop in price when listed on exchange, most of the reason I heard is bounty hunter throw the token at low price, but most of the project only allocation 1~5% of total sold tokens as bounty rewards, I'm confused how come this small allocation tokens will cause the price drop? I think main reason is investor throw the tokens and after that buy more tokens at low price.

Because the premined coins are being sold and DEV is making money out of thin air which most of the investors don't have any idea about. ICO projects are also being dumped sometimes because of the dump by bounty hunters as well.

There are many reasons  why the token price drop when listed on exchange, investors sell their token to get profit, the bounty hunters, the market dump will result of panic selling, the team secretly sell their tokens, well that's all I know the reasons.

Unless the ICO have some real products to be used, their token won't have high value.
Massive adoption are needed to increasing the value of the token. Maybe investors need more time to wait for the project to developing.

I agree with you and that is something the fanboys of worthless tokens absolutely don't want to understand. They refuse the criticism that a lot of these tokens aren't worth anything and they just hold tight.

Factors such of little or lack of demand and too much supply, and toke holders who are eager to sell off their token competing about the lowest to sell, thereby significantly dumping the price.

because most investors sell all the bonuses they have and investors really want a price reduction in order to buy more when the price is cheap, and one of the main factors is their product is not real

It has been a very usual condition, new crypto always needs to fight and struggle from the bottom when it is newly listed in the certain exchange. So far, I never find the big deal of coin newly listed on the exchange with a higher price than ICo.  However, what we must be ensured is that the chance of the coin to increase, whether it has a chance to progress or not. If it is a promising coin enough, it will be able to easily come up.

I've only really followed one ICO and the same happen. My assumption is that the people who got a first day bonus of sort were able to make a profit.

The cycle will always repeat to the next ico because majority of early buyers, investors, speculators are expecting to get early profit and they can go out as fast as possible with the help from the liquidity that will get by the coin when it can give them more than 3x from the ico prices.
Investors are looking for something that can give them easy profit.

On a slightly different note, who invests in like "Weed Token", or "Sperm Coin" or like Jesus/bible/devil/vegan coin...

Why do those even get made?? WHO BUYS THEM.... I utterly want to understand the rationale here.

Most of the coins decrease in price right after listing on exchanges. The project owners blame bounty hunters for it, while bounty hunters have different say. Bounty hunters maybe a part of the causes for coins dropping in price. But another reason is project management gives a huge amount of bonus to investors in order to attract investors.

It is true people are blinded by it and blaming us bounty hunters for the big price drop .
But to be honest it is the management to be blame and the investors greed it is not on us bounty hunters.
We only have small holdings on the whole supply and if you would look closely to it the management are the ones to blame for it.
They doesn't attract so much investor to back up the price once it gets listed no actual use of their crypto so the investor or people would just ignore their shit coin.

There can be many reasons why prices drop. But it's quite very strange when tokens dump immediately it is listed. To me I always think that it's from the  project team listing below its ico price intentionally. Sometimes it's done by dumpers.

Several of the tokens drops its price after being listed on an exchange simply because of several of the bounty hunters immediately selling their tokens, and price drops surely from its ico price because there is no such thing as easy money in crypto, you have to risk and sacrifice and learn to wait or hodl to be able to earn profits.

Many investor sell their ICOs asset at lower price after listing on exchange market, always sell put order you ICOs assets with higher price to make how much expensive of ICOs.

This has been the trend for most coins during their first listing on the market. This normally happens because most of the projects enter the market with unfinished products. Remember, one of the key components that keeps the price of a coin up is the product and its demand level on the market. However, if the product and platform is well developed, investors join and these coins begin to rise.

First of all, the price depends on the market situation. The greener the market, the lower the price of the coin.

If You are less familiar with the situation,you should understand that in addition to the ICO stage, there are pre-ico stages with large discounts.It is at these stages comes a large number of investors.Based on this, we can conclude that early investors do not care at what price to sell their tokens,just not to be in the red.The situation that I described the most common.

ICO is indeed unpredictable in price, sometimes someone dumps it when it is registered on the market. then pump starts immediately in the next few months. everything happens real and natural.

becuase bounty hunter will sell all they rewards token when it get listed on some exchange.
the solution of this problem is simple that is why not make bounty campain with ETH or BTC or listed coin like that.
so bounty hunter not have token to dump.

When token sale occur, there are bonuses for investors which can sometimes be so huge. And in addition, there is also bounty even though the allocation isn't too significant. When the token hits the market even though the price is below the ico price, some big investors have already made a profit if they dumped it. That could be the reason why prices fell deeper after being listed on the exchange. While most hunters will sell their rewards as soon as the token give an enough value. That's what I know!

I think you can predict ICO prices by the way you can see how the platform they have developed has the potential to be very expensive or not, the total supply from the ICO can also influence ICO prices.

Some exchanges are very bad when it comes to volume and there is nothing you can do to solve that but mostly its all about how good the project is ,if there is a needy for the coin or token it won't drop in value forever even if it faces some dumps when listed so what matters is how good the project is ,what use case is backing it up

Maybe because there are some holders sell some of their coin in the first exchange.
The investors can sell the coin they bought anytime, usually when they find a better project.
But if the demand of the coin is high, the price won't drop after it listed in the exchange.

Many causes of prices drop when listing in the market.  One of them is because their team did not try hard so that their project succeeded and success.  They only prioritize listings in the market but do not think about how prices will not drop when the list is on the market.  Most price errors drop when the list in the market because developers do not develop their projects.  Besides that because there are many who sell

There are several reasons for such drop. The most significant is due to the project being a total scam or the project doing nothing according to their roadmap.
Many project collects money to do this and that but most of them end up being spent by the team members on luxurious lifestyle and bringing up inferior product that fails and so does the price of token.

Altcoins prices usually drops after being listed and its a normal thing. Because if the prices just pumps up, all of the investors and token holders would definitely become rich and crypto business is just an eay money. So, everything has to undergo in good performance, as for the altcoins, they usually make a good performance or good products so that its price pumps up.

There are many reasons for that. psychology of token holders, unstable market, bounty hunters often discharge tokens when listed exchange.

In my opinion why drop in price when listed on exchange market is that most of the investors who invest during pre sale they have huge of bunos they get from the ICO, when the token is being list on exchange from that time they are going to sale their token right away because of bunos of token they get.

There are many reasons for the value of tokens that are drop when registered on an exchanger, and what often happens is that holder really want to make a dump on the coin or dev to dump, there are some cases of lack of support from the community or user distrust resulting in decreased volume and value. The dump occurs depending on the condition of the ICO project.

Most of the members who purchased in ICO will sell the coin and this makes to decrease the price. We can only see development only when the real action from the team because they need to follow their development procedure according to the roadmap. Some time bounty hunters may be the cause to drop the price of the coin.

It depends on the project and the reputation of the exchanges like for an instance IEO on binance projects are guaranteed x3 or higher after listing. ICO's are dead now.

I think there are many reasons why the price of tokens fell when it was first traded on the market. Many people and investor blame the bounty hunter for dumping their tokens but it is also possible because the developers team were not convinced of their own project and dumping tokens for the developers team.
I think everything depends on the project itself, if it's good and has prospects, I think investors won't sell it cheap

Agree, sometimes the choice of an exchanger determines the price at the time of the first listing on the market. If the developers team choose big  exchanger and has a large transaction and also has a reputation like binance, I think the price will go up high

I have always tried to understand this move from projects. I have seen a lot of this projects this happen and have tried to confront the team to know why this happened but they always have the same reply.

It can also be manipulation here and there. You cannot prevent that from happening and I think it happens way too often these days.

Most of the time the team members or the partners dump the coin price! Look at the WPP coin! Everyone was very positive about this project, it's ICO price was 0.06 USD, it went to 0.02 USD before the official exchange listing! but now the WPP price is 0.0008 USD! What is the reason for this huge dump? the team members! The CTO played a game with the community, he doesn't respect the community's opinion or any kind of criticism! So, the community left this shit! In another ICO, they claimed partners are dumping the coin price! Sometime FUD can kill a project too, like the recent sparkster!

because after listing, all of them sell either investors or bounty hunters. after that no one else bought the token, and finally the token will disappear from the market because the value is getting lower.

The most probably common reasons are:
1. The owners of some ICOs will sell some of the tokens to cover their expenses and for sure earnings.
2. Some of the Investors are joining the ICOs for the huge bonuses but not because they totally like the products in which the bonus and the discounts are already a sure earnings.
3. Bounty hunters are eager to sell to compensate their hard works.

If these will trigger after the unlock then most of the holders will get panic and the dumping will continue.

Just ask the communities who is going to sell off a new project if being listed, the fact is simple where profit is what matters. The selling pressure is usually higher on the profit range until it's under ICO price, noted that market is volatile and there's any that much liquidity for new ICOs these  days. it doesn't happen to all project like those from BNB where there's other factor that differentiate normal ICO with their IEOs token.

There are a lot of reason bounty hunters dumping their shares, we can't blame them it's an open market, investors dumping it also because of the huge bonus they've got and it is just enough to make a profit and go, and of course, the team dumping their scam for an eventual exit scam.

Many bounty hunters immediately want to sell their tokens and thus kill the price, but also many times people have already argued that the investors themselves who buy tokens through ICO or IEO also kill the price of tokens because before that they bought tokens with huge bonuses, but many project developers are also engaged in the sale of tokens from the very beginning.

as use with chance on developer to gains with beginning terms on working of service reference to collects with spares on difference as returns with works on terms of the complete deliverance of goods and service for public audience on offers with auction and merchantile.

Bounty project payment distributions usually only less than 10% from total supply of those coins and i think this is not only the main cause why exchange price are less than ICO price and besides all of it the investors also taking part why the price more to likely dumped after got listing on the exchange because they want immediately ROI and if they thought the price is good to sold their coins then it also caused will dumped the coins itself

First is the massive sales of tokens investors and bounty hunter. And secondly, it is the lack of financial support for the token. But it does not matter, many coins can increase their price.

To me, when people invest in ICOs and they get enough recognition, they just dump it when listed. The team leaders also fail to follow and obey what is in their white paper. They are more interested in the sales not the project. This has resulted in people loosing their investment in ICOs.

The poor price of Bitcoin until recent months causes the new listed coin to be traded at a lower price. On the other hand, people lose confidence in coins that have existed for years, which is more bagging in newly created ones, and that is the other reason.

The price falls because people are afraid of losing all the money and sell under the influence of panic, or because the product was useless and did not attract attention.

I think that there are devs, that drop price by selling tokens/coins after thet didnt succeed in ico/ieo.
Who else can do it? Investors - doubt that, why would invest in something you wish to sell soon. Bounty hunters can not also do that. Their token pool usually are 5-10% of all issues tokens/coins.

I think all projects need to support their currency after listing, they dont do it and thats why price is falling

This is very simple because these days, there are a lot of scam projects who will give as much as 100% to token as a bonus for buying in presale. Do you expect this person to hodl their coins when they can sell both the bonus and their coins bought to get x2 of their principal? It's normal for the prices to drop that way due to high bonuses. Another point is that devs dump their tokens early because they didn't make much from their ICOs so that is a way of selling their coins.

I really think the main reason why most project tokens dump once they hit the exchange is because they lack a very good product to command demand for their tokens. Though there are other reasons like low volume on the exchange but the absence of a product is the main reason.

There are several reasons for such a fall. First of all, there are bounty participants that are dumping their tokens to get at least something from their programme. Secondly, it is the lack of management and promotion from the team members. The last but not least is the exchange where those tokens are listed at.

There are 4 possible reasons.
Price of purchase is defferent. Like, you bought 1000 tokens for 1 ETH. ETH has dropped/rose and the price has changed.
Someone from the team sells its tokens.
Early investors with huge discount sell their tokens.
The project has lost trust.

It depends on the exchange where the coin is listed.
Look at coins that were listed on Binance or Coinbase, of course that price drops if the coin is listed only on IDEX, that doesn´t select the best cryptocurrencies.  ::)

The bad part is that it's probably just a few on the investors. Like 5% who do that and affect the price.

This is always the case as a result of people trying to sell off for the least of profits they can get in order to exit the project. It could also be the case when people lose believe and confidence in the project and resolve to sell off their holdings in order to get out as fast as possible. Also, the ridiculous bid prices of buyers on the exchange could also force sellers to settle for prices much cheaper in value than they should be causing a major dump on the exchanges.

Many people still not so comfortable with new coins/tokens, they dont wanna take the risk to holding new token or coin because coin and token price so volatile at first time listed, so they just sold if the price go up, even for only 10% gain from its initial price. The second reason is people who get it without buy, from bounty/airdrop just wanna get money from project they working with as soon as it can be sold

Bounty hunters are looking for the easy and quick ways of making money, it is natural to expect a huge dump for specific token to get dumped after getting listed on the exchange. IEO-s can be exception because the deep liquidity is enough to keep price without getting dumped to the low levels.

I guess you are talking about the tokens from ICO projects. When promoting a project, they spread out the tokens in different ways.There are bounty programs, air drops and different campaigns were user are rewarded with those coins/tokens for a month long participation. Once the coin is listed on an exchange, those people who received those tokens/coins as a rewards tend to sell their tokens for other coins. Thus, the price starts to drop sharply as soon as they are introduced to an exchange market.

Now you have an idea.
You should not believe the price that they will post or never compare it with how much you bought it per token.
The market will be the one telling that and no one knows how much it is going to be.

Been in the industry for quite so long and joined mostly the ICO's. There are those who are successful and go way beyond the ICO price. Out of 100 there will be 2-5 of them. ;D

This price drop I think is very common. And it is caused by many people who sell coins. And the buyer's interest is so small that the price cannot afford back up. We must be cautious in investing but current market conditions are good. So that the coin has decreased slowly the price is back to rise.

This is the major struggle of most projects still holding their ICO or token sale. Most investors are now getting the trick of buying high potential coins when they hit in the exchanges rather than during the ICO period. The decline of price owed to many factors not just only those bounty hunters, but the private investors themselves or the team holding most of the coins. But if the platform is very solid with working app and users, they still have the chance to grow and increase its value after such dip in price.

It is very simple, everybody wants to cash out as soon as possible and make some profit, project team inclusive. Bounty hunters, airdrops, investors and every other players are always in the race to turn their rewards into something more tangible. There is no other way around it. It is very rare these days to see ICO project performing above its ico price.

This is bound to happen because most people might wish to dump once listed at the same time, the team have a role to play. That is, if they have tangible platform plans and updates the price will dump on listing but will pick up gradually.
The cases where a coin dumps in price and continues in that manner only shows the Incompetence of the team, either they have abandon the project or have entirely nothing to offer.

If the project is really promising and the society is interested, then there is no point in worrying about coin prices, because sooner or later the prices will still go back up, even after a sharp collapse.  And most importantly, the team correctly performed its work and professionally worked on its project.

I think it is basically as a result of the forces of demand and supply and most epecially many bounty Hunters are ready to to dump the coins in question and these are the some of the reason why most of the value of coins/tokens do drop in price once listed on exchange.

Well this has become a trend for most project, once it gets listed, it will be followed by a free fall. Also I think this is usually worst in exchanges with very low volume, so I think good projects and their team should try and get a good exchange before Listing.

There are a lot of factors actually involving the market price of a certain coin. First of all the market price depends on the buyers and sellers in the market. Its quite normal to drop the price when it is listed in the market. One factor are the airdrops and the bounty rewards. Usually its a free tokens and you can sell it any amount you want. Sooner or later its market value will stabilize.

Many things affect this, one of which is participants who sell all coins when they are released in a market but this can also be caused by investors who also sell all the coins that they get and DUMPs occur that we know that investors have more coins than bounty participant.

Bounties are a way to spread the word and I think that you should recognize if people from poorer countries just sell, to them it is a lot of money.

The logic is quite simple. During ICOs the project gives alot of bonus in as high as 50 percent, airdrops and bounty tokens to thier participants and members of the community freely and immediately their is an exchange listing, the human nature will always prompt everyone to dump. The onus now lies on the project to list on exchanges with market markers to maintain the price or buy back to stabilise price

Well, let us all be honest and I tell frankly that once the bounty hunters/participants receive their bounty token rewards I can't that most of them are in a hurry to sell their coins once it has been listed in the exchange, no doubt about that. But if the price get dump its value in the market while the participants is not receiving yet their token, it means the whale investors are the main reason for it to decrease the volume in the market.

This is normal in my own opinion since most of the bounty hunters will sell their token once it will hit the exchange but after some time all will be stable if that is a good project and later on the price would surge.

Well, that's so simple. There are more people that are dumping the coins than those people who wants to buy. It's just simple economic rule: law of supply and law of demand.

This is a very interesting question.. And i have narrowed down the reasons of dump after listing to this
- Lack of proper or adequate exchange listing.
- Holding Bounty hunters tokens/coins for a long time
- Absence of Good and experienced project Advisor
- Fudd
- Absence of good news to motivate holding
- Legal problems

Main reason is either bounty hunters dump their coins or those who bought at ICO dump their holdings too to buy more amount for a cheaper price. It's just the faster you sold your tokens the more profit you'll get because eventually after many days that tokens already dump hard where it's below 50% from the ICO price. If the team is really serious on their project and will follow the roadmap of their project it will return to its original ICO price after a few months and even increase above that.

I don't think bounty hunter can affect the market hugely unless the volume is so low. However, presale investors are the one who dump at the beginning including some of the ICO team member as well.

I feel that the pricing of Ico will be at a higer end and when they listed to any exchange, the market decide its real value and that is the real price of the coin

It actually depends on the particular project. There were several projects whose coins/tokens pumped as soon as they are admitted on exchanges. That means the fundamentals of their projects are good and that there are interested investors and supporters or even users of their products who are ready to buy their coins/tokens from the exchanges. What is sad is that majority of the new projects have nothing special in them. Even ICO investors who bought at a much cheaper price and got some bonuses during the ICO are waiting for an opportunity to dump. That finally happens when the exchanges list the coins/tokens. 

It is also that a lot of people have different expectations in terms of their income. For some people 5 dollars is a lot of money. For others it isn't. The beauty is that bounty campaigns provide you with opportunities no matter how rich or poor you are.

This has become a norm but I think a contributing factor to this is listing on exchanges with volume. That can really reduce the price if a token making it worthless. Also I think when there is too much bonus on sales, investors wouldn't mind to dump at any amount. The main factor affecting price dump is listing on exchanges without volume.

Bounty hunters should learn their lesson after all these negative thoughts by forum members. Dumping the token can be worth for a days but it will hurt the team and bounty hunters at the end. Price is not dumped by the loyal bounty hunters.

The cost of many coins after listing on exchanges falls below price ICO for various reasons. Among the most common is - airdrop/bounty hunter, manipulation of project teams and early investors, who took coins much below price of ICO.

Look, if there wasn't demand during ICo and it was not completely sold out, then price should drop after listing,because demand isn't excessive.
Drop in price is ordinary thing

It is usually happens because some bounty hunter sales their token immediately no matter the price is , that is why the market dumped automatically.

My own perspective about coins that drop drastically after exchange listing is the lack of good liquidity. Some projects get listed on exchanges that doesn't have good volumes. For instance, its very rare to see a project that get listed on binance exchange to dump because binance volume is huge and very high. Therefore, there is always huge demand for a coin that get listed on binance while coins that get listed on low volume exchanges will surely dump because the sellers will be more than buyers.

Why immediately sell the coins of the project which you are advertising? After all, surely before you participate in the bounty,  you are studying the project and understand its prospects? If you are doing like this then it is better to hold tokens and not to sell

There are several factors to this,the situation on the market at the moment when there is a listing of tokens on the exchange,how the team behaves,they do not merge tokens to specifically lower the price,there are large investors who bought at a discount of 50% begin to pour a special token into the bottom,and then buy it at the bottom for a penny,in short in one word-the REASON IS the HUMAN FACTOR!!!

Its bad management from the teams that drags down token value when hits the exchange ,many teams gives out too much of bonuses when presales are on and many projects have no real working product backing their tokens

I agree with you on that point.
I also think that the biggest dump after an exchange listing is generated by early investors, who in most cases have received enormous bonuses.
And not the 3% bounty tokens, of which only a few percent decide to dump those.

That's right, your statement, most coins go down after being registered in the exchange market even though this doesn't happen on all coins, but even though there is a price decline after being registered in the exchange there is a possibility that the price of the coin will rise again in the future, because they control  the coin wants more to buy the coin so that the coin will have good potential in the future

It happens for more and more coins also because teams might pretend their ICO sold out and then they themselves dump the tokens which have never been sold in the first place.

True, it actually depends on the project itself, if the project has a good view on investors, maybe the pump will be real when it is listed on the exchange. I see harmony, even though they run the IEO, but harmony has full trust from investors, so yesterday the price can increase many times.

difficult to ascertain, but In my own opinion I think most of this projects didn't pay market maker to hold the price, or they listed on that price. Also, it may be that there was a dumb, but by who is another question.  There is a lot of secret behind this.

This question already frequently asked everywhere.. Not just on Bitcointalk , I've been seen on Telegram group too. So many try ask like , why price not same as ICO price , etc.
Well.. must to know first is not just us who have that coins/tokens. There was many people who have that.. Investors , developers , bounty hunter , airdrop , etc.
And second thing , Developers not controlling what price will be "starter price" on the exchanges. Its pure depends demand of that coins/tokens
Then , last thing in my opinion is ICO price not a "fixed price" for that coins/tokens on exchanges. Price of that coins/tokens on the exchange maybe can go above ICO price or below ICO price..

Sometimes bounty hunters dump and the dump begins, then the investors follow out of fear and people rather "cut their losses" I guess sometimes over 50% of the distribution so far was dumped.
Another thing that happens is you buy up what bounty hunters sell and what fear investors sell and resell that later on for a nice turnover. If the project is good and has a use or reason for being then the price should naturally go up since the people who have dumped are now finished and everyone is buying back.

There are two main reasons, why a token price is falling after the first listing. First of all, bounty hunters that have earned some tokens are likely to sell them, this causes dumps. Secondly, team members are unable to make new people buy their coins because of the lack of marketing and poor management.

When coins are newly listed, there are a lot of players who would want to cash out quickly, those that are majority in this category are those who never made huge efforts in getting them or spending so much for them. This eventually results into dump, previously people tend to hold with the anticipation for profit but currently a lot of persons are impatient and do not hold anymore

I think you guys need to stop this argument of bounty hunters dumping their coins, how many projects release their tokens to bounty hunters even before listing on exchanges? To me what is happening is that people are becoming wise, one there is not strong fundamentals to support a project, they dump and move, even if BNB tokens start to show sign of weakness people will start dumping

Unregistered projects in good exchanges and I think projects that have not been fully completed by investors are impatient waiting so that selling their tokens is too much sloping news from the project as development-led fraud causes the price of ico when the market enters down

many coins experienced this ... and many opinions that I read ... especially to bounty hunters who sell coins from bounties at low prices ... because bounty hunters are considered to be just looking for a momentary and quick profit without thinking about the progress they have promotion since they took part in the bounty campaign ... and there are still other opinions such as listings in markets that are not many users ... and other reasons ...

It is also necessary to answer this question, where do the developers get the price for the coin of their project?  Should start from something the starting price and at least the name of the real calculations of the cost of the coin.  It seems that some projects have initially inflated prices and therefore are very poorly listed on the market.

This is a big factor in this community.
There are so many people saying that the downfall is due to bounty hunter though it is not as always.
lem me brimng one good example... BITEX. those who participate in bounty are still crying because they made an agreement of 10% per month though until now they are not getting it as it is lock.
it is though private investors who deal the token so much cheap tell me then if i am wrong!!!

I think because of there are so many new altcoins, investors are not much interesting about new listing altcoins. And also lot of new projects aren't quality ones. and another reason that because of low price of top coins, people are more focus to buy those ones without considering new coins.

and one other factor is how many volume traded for the coin in exchanger, that's a really vlume or fake, and demand still best important point where this is the reason can make altcoin price moved down or up

The expectation of all the investors is to make profit after buying coins at a particular ICO price  but unfortunately most of the times it is not like that after listing on exchanges. In my own point of view , one of the things I think is usually responsible for that is the untoward activities of many bounty dumpers so far they know they didn't invest into the coins by their own money ,hence they can dump the tokens at any price they prefer in exchange market thereby reducing the value of the coin. Another factor is if there is no increase in volume of trades on the exchange where the coin is listed which will not give passionate investors opportunity  to invest into such  coins. The value placed on coins and the trading volume in exchange where the coins are listed have a lot to do in pumping either the coin price or reducing it.

there are many reasons for this but they can be categorized into two. Firstly, the price of cryptocurrencies are very volatile. Listing on exchange can cause the price to be lowered due to high volatility. Also, when coin is listed, many holders most especially those investors that bought token with huge discounts and bounty hunters intend to sell quickly dragging the price to be low. Irrespective of the dumping of the coin, a good and reliable project backed token will continue to witness organic increase in price. However, this may not happen if the token is listed on exchange with low traders.

many parties that responsible to price dumping in market.investors, developers team or even bounty hunter have same rules in this moment.but if developers team able to create good projects and consistantly deliver product , i am sure there are much investors will interested investing in their projects.

Most of us who wanted to take advantage of the market really dumped our listed coins because that's normal occurrence to happen. People would grab chances and don't want to miss it, but some day traders also wanted to ride on the buy and sell activity when hunters and investors was dumping. They do trading at exchanges which made price fluctuates high and low.
