I think ICO started to increase day after day and people started to trust it,The future will goes to ICO, maybe because the low price or the new features which it provides.

Wrong, the ICO starts to decrease rapidly and is becoming dead. We don't know until when they are going to exist. With the increase of IEOs popularity, investors are more keen about it rather than staying with ICOs that does have a lot of bad reviews these days.

It's applicable for those projects that doesn't really want to make their project good but just collecting money for their own purpose. Where did you get that people's interest to ICO is now increasing? it's a fake news.

How did you know people started to trust it?

They maybe increasing but ask yourself, are they successfully selling the coin or token?

You are 100% wrong ,trust in ICO has drop drastically since 2018 and almost all investors are going after STO and IEO though we still have very few good ICO around but trust is low

Don't mind them all who can't even understand what is ico and ieo.  :D as per the trusted ico list site and it is increasing a lot again but it looks like the majority of them have been putting small hardcap as the result to create a good ecosystem.

Maybe you are referring for IEO and not ICO, and just wrongly lumping ICO with IEO bounty to be the same, Well the popularity of IEO are tremendously increasing and not just part but it is getting well known now in the market, I guess the uniqueness about IEO was the Exchange site that is connected to it and right now many investors and Bounty Hunters that are pursuing it because of the great impact it brought to the community,

ICO's are long gone, even if you are still seeing it in the market I think it is just remnant of the past or if there are some I think few that are still struggling with the congested number of it in the crypto world.

For passed eight months now, the prince value is not encourage at all, and ICO keep depreciating and lost of trust and confidence, but, the current prince has really show that, cryptocurrency has a good features to invest on.

ICOs started to increase because they seems to have find an easy way to raise funds and which is the IEO. And yes they can see many successful project that had an IEO and they think the business is booming now again

i had to double check the date of this topic to make sure it is not started in 2017! because today in 2019 everyone already knows that ICOs are high risk and most of them don't trust them at all while everyone tries to stay away as much as they can.
basically the 2018 ICO dumps and their death in 2019 scared everyone away.

Now ICOS are in demand many people because they see that the price of Bitcoin has increased. With increasing, Bitcoin price will have a good impact on all ICO. Investors also reinvest in a number of ICO projects. ICO now have excellent prospects. So they will not miss a good opportunity.

:D it seems that you are joking too much, you also have never seen the actual development of ICO, isn't it now that some ICO projects are destroyed and not susceptible? even some of them prefer to do the IEO?
so which ICO do you think is developing? and become a good future for the ICO project?

You can say that when we were in 2017-2018 because in that year, many people trust ICO and they are investing in many ICO. Besides that, almost all ICO gets to succeed in that year, and that makes people believe with ICO. But after 2018, the popularity of ICO has decreased, many people losing their trust in ICO because many of them have to lose their money too in investing in the ICO.

And now, the trend of ICO has changed and it replaced by IEO, which is trying to attract the investor to invest back to the project. Many new projects offer the difference than the previous project, but they use the exchanges to sell the token. I think that will be changing again in the future once the IEO has lost popularity like ICO.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you. Yes there could have been hundreds of ICO popping from time time to time, but it doesn't mean that people are going to trust them. Smart investors have learn from their past mistakes already. Plus the business model have shift, we already have IEO now, launching with a backing from a trusted exchange, I think this will be the thing to replace ICO now.

Do you understand well when making the conclusion that ICO is growing fast? The ICO market has almost died, the last year there has been no big ICO. I don't think ICO can recover like 2017, now the market seems to be saturated when there are more than 2000 projects listed on CMC. This is when the market will begin to dispose of poor quality projects. It's time to create a purification for the crypto market.

Yes, in 2019 many companies made ICO projects, of course with different innovations. But now many ICO projects fail or don't reach the softcap, I think the ICO period will end and be replaced by the IEO.

yes I agree with this. and currently there are many signs that the shit project is starting their IEO now. ICO and IEO will sooner or later die. if anyone says that they are now increasing, they are big liars. and be very difficult to find a good project, when IEO is popular as it is now.

I will go for quality over quantity.

The increase of ICO does not mean success when everyone knows that only 5% or even less are the legit projects, and with these small percentage of legit project, they even still struggle to grow due to the current market situation where people trust BTC than the altcoins.

What I know is that legit projects are already using IEO to raise funds, ICO is already an obsolete way of crowd funding.

ICO will certainly continue as long as there are adequate projects and use them. ICO will continue and day by day there will be changes about the ICO features that will run. not only ICOs are increasing, IEO and STO are following it.

ICO is almost gone, but not totally dead, because there are still some projects organizing ICO, although very few and some of them are doing well. The secret behind it is that, they have products already. So it makes it very easy for hem to raise fund, even without the assistance if any exchange.

I don't understand where you saw this incredible increase in ICO popularity. Investor attention is now focused on IEO. There are some promising projects that interest me at the Presale stage, but there are very few of them.

I think it is simply due to the fact that it is an investment and they recruit new users every day. Of course, not all projects are profitable yet. This is the only negative. But I think the projects ICO and IEO will receive new investors and users. As a working business.

Have you try to invest in ICO? if then, how many ICO that you have followed? seems like it is an interesting story if you talk more about it.

Because in some point most people on this forum has been enough to say give up to followed (bounty hunter and being an investor) an ICO again.

The price token was falling so drastic when has been listed on an exchange and made them lost a lot, but maybe you have different experience here.

ahaha.  every day ICOs are becoming less popular. IEO is gaining popularity and now 90 percent of projects launch fundraising through the IEO

I think he's new. And I just meant projects related to Blockchain. The essence of this does not change anything. Yes, projects are becoming more popular. It can be seen that the market has come to life. Of course, I’m afraid only one thing is that the new system will provoke massive fraud by exchanges.

The trend of current investors is IEO. I think ICO is no longer attractive! A lot of ICO projects are scams, not listed on the exchange. With IEO, the project is linked to the trading platform, although many fraudulent projects exist, the rate is lower than the ICO

The current increase of market has nothing familiar with ICOs. On the contrary, ICOs are still decreasing, because people just want to hear one single word and this is an IEO. Sadly, nobody cares about ICOs anymore.

Im afraid your opinion is not true, many ICO were failed since 2018.
And now is the time for IEO, and it is more preferable because it running on exchanges.
You can see popular exchange like Binance. When they launch IEO, the sale always hit hardcap although the hardcap is not too big.

Have you done an analysis, I think you've just woke from a long sleep and do not know what is really happening in the crowdfunding, Ico is fading and will soon be replaced by STO and IEO, so many projects are failing because they prefer doing ICO than IEO which is more safer and easier.

All the ICOs need investors, And this is the thing that proves that ICO will keep increasing and evolving, as we can see from the past that there are many ICO that are successful and trustworthy, But then not all ico is trustworthly, you have to remember that some ICOs can now be scam and not giving a single penny in return, you have to analyze firts before investing in something.

ICOs were hyped in 2017 to mid 2018, after that they are only decreasing. Even good projects facing difficulties in raising funds because of scams and alt market bear run. Worse thing is now they are replaced with IEOs where people need to hold exchange tokens to buy it. In near future i don't see ICO market recovery same as 2017. Till then go for IEOs if you can hold exchange tokens OR buy existing tokens in market which have good team and real usecase.

I see ICO slowly being replaced by the IEO,  most of IEO project appear everyday and I personally prefer to choose IEO for investment.

It seems that the opinions of experts on this issue are very divided. Last year, the ICO projects were almost dead, and the bounty hunters received almost no profit. With the growth of the market this year, ICO projects have started to recover gradually, I see a lot of successful projects. Therefore, compared to last year, they are really growing, but they are still far from the level of 2017.

the emergence of the IEO resulted in changes in the pattern of token listings, so that many tokens are currently switching from ICO to IEO, IEO has the advantage of being marketed when introducing tokens, a token can easily be invested. however, ICO is still widely used in conducting long-term campaigns.

Compared to the past, I don't see more ICO nowadays or maybe I just don't notice it since majority has no success in raising funds.
What is increase now in numbers are the IEO not ICO, you better carefully check the market right now, ICO is not a big thing anymore.

The IEO may be more developed now, but the ICO will never disappear unless there are regulations that limit ICO carried out by new projects. although the IEO is popular, but this system is also not clean from scams. still be careful.

On contrary, icos are dying slowly and ieos are taking over the fund raising of new projects. Icos won’t vanish but they will become very rare in the near future.

it's wrong if I see. now ico is being abandoned by many invevstors and they are turning to the IEO and if possible indeed ico can return to good I think it can make up for his mistakes last year where many investors were disappointed because of scam projects.

how can you still say that ICO is getting more popular? whereas the IEO has become a very promising trend?
maybe one day the ICO will soon be abandoned. because there are so many risks that are detrimental to investors in many ICO projects.

ICO is increasing rapidly ?? Where did you read the news and the list? I think you should have written it 2 years ago, when 2017 became the ICO season. At present many investors give money to the IEO, including myself. I did not want to repeat the mistakes last year, and soon I switched to recovery losses. Almost every day and until now I am doing crypto trading, it is only to cover losses. THANK YOU.

Most likely, people began to trust the ICO because the price of bitcoin began to rise wildly. I don't think this is a new era for ICO. AT the moment, this method of marketing is dead and I do not advise you to climb there.

ico hype for now are replaced by IEO launchpad from exchange, and ico it's not reliable again for investor investing their money, because ico can be ended with scamming investor because without escrow between investor and developer

If the market still maintains a good growth rate like a few months ago, I think there will be many new projects coming out like 2017. And unfortunately there will be many more scam projects too.

but I think they are growing, because the crypto market is growing and now it is again easy to collect money and deceive investors

ICOs are no longer paying much attention, projects are doing well on their own to get attention from funds and exchange agencies, then they will negotiate to be able to be on the IEO exchange. It is quick to successfully call capital

ICO now is not too popular like before because many projects have not reached their success like what we see it before. The investor searches another way to invest their money by doing research for the IEO which they think that it will give them a profit later. But the ICO programs will still continue no matter if there are many projects has scam people because many of them are launching their project to the public.

Bitcoin is at a volatile price range, that is why there is not many ICO's. If Bitcoin was at a steady uptrend then there would be more genuine ICO's.

I also tend to believe that ico will soon recover. Only in a different format. More working products are needed to renew investors ' trust.

it has nothing to do with friend. the project scam is present at any time will not see the growth of the bitcoin market or vice versa. ICO may be less, where there is an IEO that has more potential for investment. or later there will be a newer way of selling and maybe ICO can be stopped.

I am seeing more of IEO's than ICO's, the era of ICO proliferation is gone, any project that intend to begin by raising fund through ICO should really have to prove its worth and be convincing enough to attract investors.

ICOS now have excellent prospects. In addition, I noticed that the price of Bitcoin has slowly increased again. The price increase of Bitcoin certainly affects all coins. So how many new projects are giving great gains. And the old coin price now slowly also grows.

In my opinion, the progress of ICO began to decline now along with the presence of the IEO. even now investors are starting to switch to the IEO instead of the ICO.

ICOs are almost dead, they showed no respect to their investors and people are no more wasting money, they are buying real coins and not only promises. If you would like to launch a new coin, you have to be on some big exchange to attract investors again.

The rapid rise of ICOs is because the market has grown strongly in the past few months. But most ICOs are Scam projects, scammers see the market flourish and they create projects to trick inexperienced people.

I agree that most of ICOs are Scam projects, but still many ICOs are real projects and stable, the problem how you know if it`s real project or scammer?

I do not agree with you
ICO does not bring profit to investors
when there are projects due to which investors will make a profit, maybe some of the trust will return
Now there are a lot of scammers
and investment is a big risk

Even though we are still experiencing a very tough market, there are still a lot of projects out there which are very good. Just like Pointpay. It has a good platform. They are even throwing in a 1 ETH giveaway.

No, I don't think investors trust it. Most projects are trusted because ICO works with the IEO because exchanges have certified the level of credibility of projects.
There are still many active scam ICO projects, stay away from it before you lose money.
invest only in IEO projects or with a combination of IEO and ICO.

What do you mean by ICO increasing? ;D ICO that is dying a slow death? At present, IEO is on top. It has displaced the system of raising funds through ICOs. Investors trust IEO more than ICO 

OP might be thinking that ICO = IEO, so that's why he said it increasing rapidly and getting more trust.
I might be wrong and just trying to be positive since he is still a newbie on his rank  ;D

investors are looking for alternatives when their investment isn’t brought to the trading market fast enough and Initial Exchange Offerings are exactly what they are looking for at the moment.

Investors don’t need to ask ‘when exchange’ as the public sale is being conducted through an exchange already, the name itself is kind of suggestinve. Moreover, it helps to avoid a lot of negative pressure (FUD) and is perfect for maintaining the trust of the community and therefore the project!

Projects can host their private sale on their own accord. Through an IEO, the exchange takes care of the KYC procedures and the unlock of the tokens which in turn helps to save operational funds for the underlying project.

Received funds are available for withdrawal 24/7 and can be used to do extensive marketing and be injected towards business development. To be honest, those activities should be the main focus after all while the IEO-hosting exchange can take care of the rest.

IEO is on hype from which the project and the exchange can benefit from. Through cross-marketing promotion many doors open and the project as well as the exchange both grow in unison.

A good project also influence IEO market Like Moozicore and Elrond so many investors are investing in new IEO If project have storng IDEA and Background currently i have done a research on a Project that is moozicore .
WORLD’S FIRST MUSIC STREAMING SERVICE ON BLOCKCHAIN the idea is growing rapidly John McAfee is supporting this project.
They have launched their App and the good thing is that
We can use this App in 2 ways. Fiat or the token for payment, since logically the world isnt that far to use crypto as payment, i think still 99% will use fiat. So even that side is bound to the project but it gives customers the option to join crypto and buy token on exchanges from selling people.


The price from the token in app is at least 0.05$ at minimum. Means if its on an exchange at 0.03$ people who buy and send it to the app can save money with it.

So 0.05$ is the ground floor for 1 token. If the price is higher, you can of course more when u send it.

The token is bound to the business. Since when the app is used, supply decreases
If you send the token to the app. The token is burned
If people use the fiat way, 10% of those fiat will be send to the exchange and buy back from investors and burn those token away.
The key on this.
Every signed venue matters, since a new venue brings new customers forever So besides the common crypto projects where nothing happens to the price.
Everyone who uses the app, pushes the price automatically.

ICO is being forgotten during this time and the IEO dominance is getting bigger and bigger so surely by the end of this year all ICO projects will disappear from this market. I came across old ICO projects and most is scam, so we don't need to care about those projects. Now is the era of the IEO and if you are early participants, the profits will increase very high if you can join the IEO at the top exchanges.

I think you're definitly wrong. Because for a long time people have not trusted ICOs. And this distrust increased with each passing time. And ICOs are no longer spoken. And IEOs emerged as an alternative to ICO. And investors have begun to rely not on ICOs, but on IEOs organized by top exchanges.

It's been a long time since the cryptocurrency was booming in mid-2017 to early 2018, so ICO always grows every day. ICO, were promoting the crypto project is very rapidly developing both with the same ideas and new ideas. Both ICOs are legit and scams. We are indeed difficult to avoid ICO scam.

I think its a yes because ieo cant still bring money for investors thats why the projects that has been launch is doing the ico and even in the days that ieo become popular i saw many projects that still doing this ico as a way of fundraising. So i believe that ico will be much better now as the market begun already to recover.

If you mean ICO then you are wrong, there is no increase but if you are talking about increase in IEO or in New projects then yes there is an increase and reason for this is because the IEO gave a better option for fundraising

I see ICO will be replaced by the IEO with new system of fundrising. IEO is more simple, efficient and safe then ICO.

There is no indication that ICO is beginning to be in demand again, on the contrary this type of crowdfunding is dying. Now most of investment in cryptocurrency projects is made through IEO.

I think this is totally wrong, if you check the recent trends in the cryptocurrency space, you would see that ICOs has all but faded into the background and IEOs has completely taken over, as for trust, people trust IEOs more than ICOs for too.

ICO have been developed but became a house of scammers that gives a bad image on ICO's, on the other hand IEO is being hyped right now and even unknown exchanges are running IEO in their platform, that lessen the reliability of IEO as well. ICO and IEO have both good sides and bad sides of their own.

I doubt ICO will be no longer existing in the future.

I dont know where you got your reference from but to.my own understanding , I can't see people trusting ICO any more as the IEO is taking the lead in funds raising now a days which is still far better and gives assurance in listing and funds safe after investors must have put their funds.

Where dafuq are you getting your information?

ICOs have been sucking bad for quite some time now.

Low price? No. Overpriced redundant tech with no use.
New features? No.

Overusing blockchain as a selling point? Yes.

ICO market is dead. Await for the resurrection if you believe

I just feel that TS refers to IEO. It is obvious when he said "started" which refers to a "new" something that people started to like and support. If that's what he is pointing out then I totally agree with him but if he is referring to the "old" ICO then I don't know where he got his data or reference that ot os happening. IEO is now trending because of its great results and I hope all of us will support it too.

I may think that isn't ICO that grows rapidly but IEO, we don't know if that is actually in his mind.
It is pretty obvious how this IEO surging in the market today and we all are hoping that it could twist the doubtfull minds around us.
Back then, we can't just disclose any chances that coming ICO's will do right this time, reviving their image is something a big help to the market.

I don't think it's simpler. they are just as complicated. even in IEO investments we also pay attention to exchanges that do IEOs, not just the project.
if there is an ICO project that has collaborated with the exchange and is ready to be traded on a large exchange, I would prefer to invest in an ICO project rather than the IEO project that sells it in small exchanges even with very minimal trading.

At first we need to confirm the bull market, then big market cap coins should start pumping followed by low market cap coins and after that in a time of a big speculations ICO hype could come again.  :)

why do you think like that? you can still see some surviving ICO projects. after all, I think the IEO hasn't succeeded in returning the success of the new project. different from the success of the ICO in 2017. there are a lot of successful projects, and making the market on top. The IEO now still doesn't prove that.

I dont know where you do get this idea.Havent you aware on whats the current reputation of ICO as of this moment? They become shitty
since year 2017 or early 2018 yet projects or most of them do scam out hell of its investors which in result on losing up trust and confidence on
investing or throwing up some money to support due to this one.IEO is the new hype atm.

If the platform they develop is reliable, for example the platform about the wallet. And having good trust in the public, the ICO will be successful.

Well, people or would I stay projects never stopped trying their luck on ICO, and you could still see lots of ICOs springing up on a daily basis, they are all there in the ICO market for anyone to see, but the challenge they often face in lack of investors that would make them to reach their hardcap.

Investor of nowadays are not the investors of before, they no longer fall for any ICO that they see without first having very high conviction about the project, so I would say that we have so many ICO, but we have very few investors left paying attention to it, rather, their attention is all on IEO projects right now, and this is going to be the next booming phase, just like ICO was the main dominance in 2017. I think by next year, IEO would be the main dominance in the market which may make Binance quite stronger than Ethereum.

What do you mean to create a double response even in a shingle thread? your manage should know about that and you are wanna increasing your post count only. ICO still increase and no matter what you say and ico combined with ieo market will be forever. DYOR!!!

I don't know what OP sees to say ICO are increasing, that is not happening now, most of the projects are now dealing with IEO because they don't see that ICO is anymore feasible. That high scam rate is probably the reason why it's down now.

This shit has gone in cycles since day 1... hit the "ico's are going up" part of the cycle n ur golden.

ICO numbers have declined by as much as 72% YOY to just 285 this year . But on the hand, IEO’s have been gradually picking up pace with exchanges like Binance spearheading the movement. According to InWara’s IEO database as many as 80 IEO’s have been launched so far and a majority of them were launched this year.

IEOs, on the other hand, have been gaining momentum this year. The number of IEO projects surged to 100 projects this year and this rapid increase is fueled by the increase in IEO platforms or "launchpads" as they are known. In 2019, funds raised byIEO projects surpassed funds raised by ICOs by as much as $370 million.

One of the best IEO Moozicore is performing best under the market it will be a most successful IEO.
https://tokensale.moozicore.com/ (https://tokensale.moozicore.com/)

You are wrong my friend ICO time has gone because this time IEO is increasing rapidly and this time IEO is better than ICO. Like recently I invested in moozicore because they give more and more returns in a few years. (https://tokensale.moozicore.com/)

Good design. I led 4 - 5 months advertising campaign of this project. Of course it's good that the team decided to run IEO. Perhaps collect a lot of money. Well, while IEO show themselves well. I hope that this will continue.

ICO is now one of the basis of the investors, if a project collects a good amount in ICO, they can finance the fee in a decent exchange and since most investors are just relying so much on the exchange, they make decision based on which exchange the project is listed.

If only every project can be listed in Binance, this market would have grow faster.

While Binance is still the hottest, it can create hype and since it can create the hype, it would be easy for them to convince people invest, actually they don't need to do more effort, just by listed an IEO in their exchange, it's already an instant success.

After so many losses by invest in scam projects, scam ICOs, investors learned lessons themselves. Additionally, local authorities in some nations have stricter managements on ICOs. Together, ICOs have become less interesting for investors. They became more careful with ICOs, but by now they likely repeated their same investment approach in the past (with ICOs) and used it for IEOs.

What I heard was that ICO had a huge drop last year and is continuing to drop as of right now as well. In IEO, some say that the exchange may be involved with the project team in order to scam people, but doing that the exchange will put its reputation at risk, so the chances of scams are highly reduced. This is not the case with ICO since it is entirely different in operation.

Exchange can't scam people, or else they are done.

I think this will be the trend in the long run as it's easier for people to invest although not everyone who are willing are lucky to invest.
As the IEO is getting more popular, we need more exchange to gain trust from investors so they could also run a successful IEO.
For now, it has been Binance that are dominating and it's not good since a coin could be hype which is bad for long term.

I guess this year, ICO has decreased, and it replaces by IEO because many ICO has already scammed many people. The investor moves their money from ICO into IEO because they see the chance to make a profit from the IEO. But perhaps, some investor still stays in the ICO project, and they still search on the right ICO to invest. Since the last year, ICO is not giving much profit for many investors, and that makes them afraid to invest in any project because they don't want to get the same experience.

The low price is after an exchange listing because investors that get big discounts are selling their tokens plus some bounty hunters and airdrop participants that got these tokens for free.

Last year was a year of ICO boom and now it's quantity is decreasing. Much projects were perfectly covered schemes, other projects just couldn't make it. I hope the mistakes of the past would help this relatively young market to grow stronger and for those smart people trying to startup their own projects just to learn from the mistakes of the past.

People are just getting tired of IEOs and there are some reasons why. Firstly, you need to have at least 1-2k of exchange tokens to be eligible for the lottery and if you win a ticket, you can take part in a token sale. This process is costly and not available for everyone, so people are switching to ICOs, to get tokens, because they know that something big is coming.

The IEO has shifted ICO because IEO is better because it deals with the exchange market which makes a strong attraction so investors and hunters like to swim in it to gain profits while the ICO has faded because of the many bad projects so people do not want to lose

Since this year, ICOs were not heard of because they were overshadowed by IEOs while IEOs on the other hand were growing with each passing day. Nevertheless, Ferrum did their ICO today and it finished within 1hour, I think if ICOs can be properly managed there might be a chance of them coming back gradually; Ferrum just paved the way today. But at the same time carefulness and due diligence should be adopted because scammers will still look for ways to get at investors if ICOs starts coming up again. I wish Ferrum the best..

Because ferrum's ICO has harcap very low. Only about 300k USD and they market very well. Also they were listed at Bitmax after the ICO ended. I believe this project will be great and its price will increase many times after being listed

I think you are wrong. We should not trust only those projects that appeared during the HYIP. those projects that were created later and have a real use - trustworthy

I think even though ICO growth is very fast and a lot of ICOs are created but not all ICOs can be successful, only a few ICOs can succeed and develop into bigger ones.

ICO is currently less in demand, i think you have done the wrong research. look at the present situation ICO has lost many investors, now most investors have switched to IEO. it's likely that ICO will die, but i still hope that doesn't happen.

i think you should keep abreast of developments, don't let you lag behind.  :) :)

I don't see that now, in my opinion the popularity of ico continues to decline now. now the new project has switched to IEO.

I think it's too naive to say that, I don't see any improvement from Ico right now. I think the new project prefers the IEO rather than the ICO  ::)

what did you mean by ICO started to increase now ?
because i don't see any ICO project reach their hard cap,,
i knew few of them reach the soft cap but not the Hard cap mate
now the trends change from ICO and STO to IEO  ;)

More and more investors have low trust on ICO, only few ICO with strong and dedicated team and having a good project plan manage to survive these days due to years of trusting ICO with a lot of fund and nothing to proof for it. They have now metamorphose into IEO, they are same just a nomenclature.

Well, in fairness the ico this year was better than 2018, though I'm not saying most of the ico now are getting successful in the end.
One more thing, I don't know how did you know that people in this industry get trusted again on ICO? where did you get this information
anyway?

Now ICO projects will begin to be regulated by states and after that fraud in this type of activity should disappear or at least decrease significantly. After that, confidence in ICO projects should be restored and these projects will come to life. This is the easiest and most reliable way to raise funds and no IEO will replace it. IEO and ICO will exist in parallel.

ICO had it peak in the year 2017 when the market experienced the incredible all time bull run. The reported issues on scam ICOs and the long bear market of 2018 made lots of investors lost interest in ICOs. Now, IEO is becoming more popular due to its uniqueness in sales.

I don't think so, ICO isn't increasing rapidly in my opinion. On the other hand its totally wrong that people's starting trust on ICO. Only few greedy people's trust on ICO and they are losing their fund. So average there is no any demand for ICO. The main reason is too much scammer around market and most of ICO isn't potential enough. I can't see any future with ICO. I see just lose and lose.

No, I think the demand for ICO is increasing because the IEO fee on the exchanges is getting more expensive and good projects but there is no capital required to implement ICO.
that's why recently ICO projects have been noticed by many investors. But the number is not significant, I still prefer STO.

Though for sometimes now,ICO has gone down drastically but I guess it is trying to come back with some project embracing it now, I hope it will.

My take on ico's is that ico's are on the decreasing trend while IEO's seems to have gained the interest of the majority of investors. I think it is happening because IEO's  are more advance in terms of investors protection.

Though IEO has enjoyed so much attention and it is still enjoying attention but I think ICO will come back gradually.

Following the announcement of Facebook's Libra has made an impact on the entire crypto market. Following it, the issue of mass adoption of cryptocurrency is heading towards positivism. So there maybe an increase in ICOs lately. But this number is not large as compared to the previous years.

ICO is open to everyone, while IEO requires people to buy their tokens using the exchange accounts. But the biggest problem with ICO is not being monitored by any third party or anyone else. Scams and frauds follow ICO. Because of its open nature and not being linked to exchange accounts, ICO is subject to more frauds, as scammers can directly exploit this weakness without the involvement of any third party. These scammers promised many people but did not deliver the result. Putting all these things in mind, I think IEO is much better.

Every day, several dozen new ICOs are born, but most are trash and ICO scams. With the current situation of BTC, uptrend is not really clear and the market has continuously fluctuated. Good ICOs still face many difficulties in the process of calling for capital. I still have a hard time finding good ICO to invest. If you know some good ICOs, please share with me.

Nah man you are wrong.
The number of ICO's in 2019 as comparing to 2018 decreased 5 times (!) really.
For example in August 2018 the number of projects were more than 320 and according to July 2019 it is barely 60.

Where did you get that info? IEO is more developed than ICO. It's been a long time a project that didn't use ICO. Too many scams on ICO.

ICO is currently heading towards change, where competition between ICO and IEO has a very positive impact on improving the quality of ICO, I think ICO will get better in the future, although I am not sure ICO will be as successful as 2017.

I do not know about the new features ICO provides but one thing is sure, ICOs will be difficult to phase out. Not all good projects have the finances to run an IEO and as such needs to go through ICO to achieve their aim. For increase in the rate of ICOs, I do not see that yet but am sure more ICO projects will emerge.

ico has now been replaced by ieo. ieo is safer than ico because ieo funds will be held by exchanger. see now the new project is no longer called ico they replaced it with ieo

You are worng at all in this market. ICO decreased rapidly after 2017 and the new thread came in crypto called IEO (Initial Exchange Offering). Now a days IEO is running successfully in the market and people are now satisfied enough with it.

Yes, after 2017 the ICO became rapidly increase with fake projects and there have only a few legit projects only which had very difficult to identify. Now IEO is very popular to us and trusted as well

ICO is getting started of having their PHASE-OUT in the community.
As there were so many SCAMMED ICO PROJECT since 2018.
IEO is one of the best thing to deal with now. "INITIAL EXCHANGE OFFERING" is more legit and trusted than the old ICO.

what are you talking about, someone else believes in ICO?
Does anyone else pay their ETH or BTC for dummy coins?

ICO doesn't make sense in the market when btc dominance is around 70%. There are two ways, first - most of them will not reach the hardcap, second - private sellers will dump on retail. The market is very sever currently.

right. I hope so too. now ICO has indeed declined dramatically with the advent of IEO. I hope that in the future ICO and IEO can be balanced in future developments and several projects will embrace ICO again.

Now it seems that investors have begun to lose confidence in investing in ICO, Because, in the last few months many ICOs have been fraudulent and have made investors suffer a lot of losses, but now investors are starting to switch from ICO to IEO, because they think that IEO is safer to invest than ICO.

Last year was really the year where there's a lot of scam ICOs and that really cause the loss of confidence.
This year, maybe there are still investors in ICO but I'm pretty sure they are already small in numbers since we already have an IEO that is way safer and it's also available in different exchanges.

It's not anymore only Binance now that operates a successful IEO, there are already improvement in other exchanges and I'm hoping this improvement will continue so more fresh investors will come to play again.

when hope has begun to find common ground, there are always obstacles in which to have the desired results even when it feels a heart that wants to be happy, instead there is an opposite that approaches for its pleasure in every element, so that the ICO fighters have even began to drop his spirits.

ICO numbers is still increasing but their quality and trustworthiness are decreasing. Most of ICOs today are scam and although some of them are legit but their platforms are not feasible to the market  in which it will fail in the end due to insufficient investors. So for me quantity is useless if your investments chances of losing is very high.

I dont think so, I rarely heard about "ICO" these days. ICO is becoming dead. ETH decrease in price is the clearly proof.

In time past, initial coin offering (ICO) was the people's favorite but the proliferation of fraudulent projects led to a decline in its patronage.
Many investors now prefer IEO's over ICO's and I can say that currently IEO's are enjoying more patronage over Ico's

Definitely, I don't even see any coin from ICO that are in exchange now enjoying the same growth like IEO coins.

What I like about this IEO is more exchanges are beginning to gain popularity as well, and though Binance still leads the way, the other exchanges has help to accommodate investors who likes to participate in IEO, when this matures, we could probably see a good progress in the long run and might experience a bull run because of this and enjoy the same that we enjoyed during ICO times but in different platform.

Yes, now we see a sharp decrease in the number of ICO projects in this forum and other similar forums. Even at the Bounty Suite a couple of days ago there was only one ICO campaign, then two were added: one allocates $ 1,000 to Tron for all bounty campaigns, and the other does not provide for a signature campaign at all. At the same time, ICO projects can still be revived, and for this, state regulation of this type of activity is necessary. If authorized government agencies will check the team and their documents before registration, this will immediately reduce the level of fraud among them.

IEO are quite popular at the moment, at the same time there are more ico's getting into existence. Among the number of ico's very few have gained more support and investment. IEO participation keeps increasing as the market listing of the tokens of the respective projects gets into trading access in a short while the same through ico's happen after weeks or even months. Possibly there will be some year in the future same as 2017 for altcoins. Until then we need to keep hold of the assets invested and earned out of ico's.

I think ICO are starting to be gone as day goes by.
IEO will remain in the community and investors will hug this new system.
ICO is not secured even a small percent for investors, IEO provide that security!

That's the journey ICO is taking now, there are no investors who are interested in risking their money on ICO, and this is actually good as it would result to less scams in the market. As of now, I haven't heard of scam IEO yet, maybe some are not doing well in exchange but they are not scam, and compared to ICO, during the time it was still popular, there are a lot of complains from people who got scam, and this IEO is a blessing to the market, it arrived timely and I believe it will help the market to slowly recover.

I am not sure about your statement, I am personally more sure that ico is diminishing, many ico users have switched to IEO. Well, maybe not everything will be but ico's reputation is really very bad. projects produced by ICO do not have good functions.

yes I think this is the biggest problem for most of the new investors many many ICOs are coming and many of them are not good enough

Except you are very nee the crypto space, everyone here will know that ICO has decreased drastically this can be seen also from the traffic ranking of most ICO review sites compared to what it used to be over a year ago. IEO is gaining the popularity instead.

I think ICO era has been over taken by the intorduction os STO/IEO and other alternative improvision of sourcing for funds. people tend to avoid certain ICO and focus more on IEO particularly and STO because of the regulations that the projects have to meet and the checks done gives the investors a degree of security in their investment fundings.

I always believe that we will experience a good year like 2017, actually I think even better than that year, but if we panic and dump due to the situation now or the the possibility that the market will even get worse, then we will not have a chance to enjoy when the market turns into bullish.

Being a true believer of crypto, we also believe in altcoins, and although it's not yet progressive now as we expected it, but like the old days, we still think that people who HODL will always benefit in the end because altcoins will not die, it's just going through its hard times, but this is temporary.

Enthusiasts from ico are currently experiencing a decline due to the presence of Iso which attracts more investors because ico has been considered too much fraud and there is also no transparency in their financial mechanisms because it is managed by the dev

in my opinion, if the team is very good and the project is very promising, this ICO is raising money from any market

You losing interest and not finding them is nit as the same as not finding ICO in the market, there are still hundreds   of ICO that are still running campaigns often, but just like you, there are so many hunters and people that are fed up with the way they handle things, the way they scam, and the way they treat hunters, so people stopped paying much attention to them, that is also the reason why you will see that majority of them no longer meet up with their hardcap any longer, so they end up leaving too, but as they leave, many projects still comes up to try and some actually succeed.

Most focus of investor now is on IEO, and you see that any IEO project that is released gets to be bought out on time. So, if you are interested in giving ICO a try again, you will still find a lot of them.

I don't agree with your opinion on this  and I think the reverse is the case, as ICOs are reducing rapidly due to the introduction of IEO which is a massive upgrade on ICOs.
The reason why IEO is outshining ico is because it offers solution to the challenges encountered by ICOs investors.

A lot of ICO projects have started emerging even in this period of market dip. This is because majority of people are  beginning to understand and value crypto trading transaction with crypto coins. We are yet to see more of crypto projects, as crypto begins to gain more prominence, so will many people begin to launch new ICO projects to promote their projects with crypto coins. As more of this ICO projects emerge,we need to be careful of the ones we are partaking in so as not to be victims of scam. There are many interesting and beneficial ICO projects if and only if we will take out time to research well on them.

You are saying everything correctly, but now you can find some good ICO projects within a few months, on which you can make good money. Recently, I met two promising ICOs that have already ended, but I managed to participate in them, these are Ferrum and VITE.

This is where you need to start. Investors actually are exist, just because of the scarcity of ideas and the real lack of working functionality, many do not want to invest absolutely in all ICO or IEO.It is better to invest in 1 project $ 1000 than to invest in 10 shitty ICO of $ 100.I recently became involved in the IEO from the exchange https://www.gate.io/.And very pleased with the results.

They are becoming too much in the system making it very difficult to identify the legit and promising ones. They will present themselves as legit projects but once the token sale is over, then they start procrastinating the date for listing and gradually exit from the system

I don’t know where you saw this and why you decided that ICO is again starting to gain momentum. It seems to me that ICO has long lost its popularity and they will never return it again. And this is due not only to the fact that there are very few interesting projects, it is primarily due to the fact that there are a lot of sophisticated scammers who are very difficult to determine at the stage of starting an investment.

I am sure the end of ICOs is near because of the competition with the IEOs by biggest exchanges. Primary factors are obvious and the arguments for protecting the ICOs are not developing every day.
The deficiency of the crypto ideas leads to the repeating projects which copy from other people's whitepaper.  IEOs are the future of the crypto startups and their lasting reasons will be held by the well-known exchanges.

I don't know, the OP sees it from which perspective. Conversely, the popularity of ICO has declined since there was a lot of fraud, market conditions declined, and now IEO is more reliable in attracting investor interest. Well, although the success of a project is not only determined by ico or ieo, it can be a good strategy in forming a network.

The rate at which ICO's are increasing is really high. A lot of people are now knowing about crypt I currencies and its a good thing. The community is growing and by some years to come, many people will know about this technology.

that's the end of ICO, several ICO was Scam
people prefer to invest in the IEO it's safer

Tactically ICOs have been replaced with IEOs, many projects conducted from many companies scammed investors and many of their projects ended in exit scam. Currently, one cannot say that, there is an increase in the patronage of ICOs to IEOs because many of these projects currently be promoted on this forum are mostly IEOs and few on ICOs. So, with the current trend in thus industry, I can boldly say that, ICOs are now been replace with IEOs.

ICO increasing rapidly is because of slight bull run in the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum in 2019, last year it was the opposite ICO were in bad shape because of the dump in prices.

You are absolutely wrong. ICO is not increasing that much compared to previous years. This year becomes the IEO year. People are not interested in ICO projects because 95% of ICO gave hugely loses to its investors. But big exchange's IEO did far better and helped its investors to forget the long bear run nightmare.

Now, no one conducts an ICO, with rare exceptions. Now the point is not even profit, but trust. ICO completely discredited itself, most have an allergy to this method due to its extreme insecurity.
Therefore, we see a decline in ICO projects, nobody needs them, at least until the market has become regulated. All as one try to place their project on a better exchange platform to raise funds.
The present is completely captured by IEO, therefore, that it is profitable and can be trusted in some ways.

But Ico and Ieo coins and token are very risky in my openion most of the ico at the end failed and some are just  ponzy and they comes to just collect money Nothing more. BUt Ico or IEO investment is very profitable if project has good aim and belong to dentralization Because now a time  defi project will have a good future. In my research In Injective Protocol is full dentralized exchange and dentralized have good future   

I agree! Most investors and traders are not interested in ICO projects anymore. The reason is that there were a lot of scammed ICO in the past. I don't believe that we can see many ICO projects appear in the market because we all lost our trust in ICO. IEO can be better in some ways.

ICO was story in the past with its goodness and badness.many people be rich by their investment in ICO and many people too be poor man by investing in  ICO. today no more project held ICO  since distrust from investors be main problem. the last successfull in market was BCNEX but unfortunately its be scam project too. focus on IEO that launched on only reputable exchanges, it will give us smaller risk.

The ICOs are not increasing but the IEO is evolved and growing a little bit. the ICO and the IEO is for the same purpose but a different way and in terms of trust the latter is more accepted by the public. IEO is directly offered the token in the exchange where it ensure a little bit of more trustable project.

In IEO project you also do not arbitrarily choose, you must choose an IEO project is really listed on the top Exchange, on Binance, Kucoin or Huobi. Yes, I agree that now the ICO project is no longer trusted by Investors or Bounty Hunters, So I don't know why the OP says otherwise.

Now the era of IEO to develop, so it is very natural that IEO is much in demand by investors and prize hunters as well as traders as well, except IEO on a bad exchange is clearly not in demand, and for ICO the era is gone and no one is interested for now this.

This is an old post but I still wish to air my view. As of early 2019 ICO started dropping badly that is, the level at which people give attention to them dropped badly and the attention was channelled to IEO and ever since then IEO took over. Also, it even got to a point that most projects already preparing for ICO had to drop the idea and move over to IEO. Lastly, the era of ICOs are gone and a lot of lessons learnt too.

Too much scam artists and empty-handed projects without a use case made it almost necessary to switch from ICO to IEO. You can still list your tokens on a DEX, mabe something that comes closer to the nature of a ICO

ICO has slowly declined 2 years ago and the reason behind it because there are many scam project, investors and bounty hunters too has losing trust on every ICO and this time i hope that scammers can be filtered to avoid such situation and ico will go lively again towards the goal of crypto to lead the cashless society.

2019 is also a failed year for ICO projects, and in 2020, I have not seen any signs that the ICO market is recovering. Now, only the big exchange IEOs like Binance, Okex, and Huobi can benefit us. In addition, you should not participate in ICO projects now, the probability of failure of those startups is more than 90%. The economy is really unstable and the investment is now quite risky. You should consider.

Currently, ICOs have lost their popularity and power of attorney, that is why investing in ICOs is now very huge risk and therefore people understand that it is now much safer to invest in projects that conduct IEOs and it is too difficult to find investors for companies which are making ICOs.

The OP said in July 2019.
Whereas at that time the ICO had already begun to be forgotten and at that moment IEO had started to become an investment choice. So there is no ICO that really grows or is trusted, indeed not all of it. There are still projects that can get funding from ICO. But for now it really can't be expected anymore.

And until now the ICO is dead, there is no longer any successful project with the ICO. There are so many scammer and they created ICOs to deceive investors, now we have IEO and it has done a great job in raising funds to help the project succeed.

Yes in some ways, IEO is not hundred percent good, there are still some flaws present, for IEO projects to be successful it has to go big exchanges and we know that not all new projects can afford big exchanges so that means they have no hope? The reason why ICO is better is even small projects can raise money easily

ICO is not back and I don't think if eventually it comes back it will boom like it did in 2017/2018, as lot of people had learned lessons, lots of ico exit with investors money, ieo is currently increasing rapidly and not ico, there is almost not impossible for ieo projects to scam or not get listed on a reputable exchange that it conducted its ieo sales

The complete opposite actually, ICOs are now declining in sales because of it's rating and the raise of IEO's popularity. ICOs has bad reviews because of the scams out there. So more and more people are not trusting it. So maybe after a few months or years. ICO will just be a thing in the past.

this is an old thread. the situation at that time I thought there were indeed many new ICOs. but the success didn't happen very much. as for some who were successful with ICO, but they also experienced a rapid decline. we cannot see the potential of the project to last long term.

No man, ICO has no chance for the future. Fraudsters scare away all investors. Better pay attention to IEO. This is a really good thing. Forget about ICO. Last time in ICO I got to scammers, so I treat them like that.

Yeah it was actually posted in 2019 where ICO projects are coming left and right without any purpose in helping or creating innovative projects that would help to create more opportunities and services for the community. But fortunately ICO has died because of themselves and the way they scam people investors who believed that they would be gweting something out of ICO projects.

At the moment there are many investors who don't trust ICO anymore, because of many reasons causing fraud and also the price of tokens has dropped after it was launched, and now I think many projects are starting to turn to IEO.

now ICO is not much in demand, now investors are more interested in IEO, so that IEO is safer way and have a lower risk than ICO, for investment. specially IEO launch by popular exchanges. Even the future is changing so fast and will wait for another innovation in the crypto world

But there are other ICOs that run smoothly. Check out the dyco of makerdao, called orion protocol. They have made 600% on their first day trading on bitmax and still increasing. I think it actually depends on the project and its host. Since this was hosted by makerdao, expect legit investors to hurry and participate with it. I think its started to revive the dead era of ICO, but this time the projects will launch are highly reviewed.

I hope you are still active on this forum pal, right now do you see what's going on with ICO? They are no more and no single new crypto project still use them, now top exchanges are making it easy for new projects to raise fund successfully, IEO beats ICO hands down

ICOs have been dead since 2018, so what is the reason why you think ICOs will increase rapidly at the present time? There are no other successful projects with ICOs, and most of them have moved to IEO to be able to raise funds from the community

I dont see any proof that ICO is increasing rapidly. From my perspective ICO is already dead. Maybe there are few new ICO projects pop out but im sure that is scam project. People dont trust ICO they choose IEO for now.

Chances are there will be much less of ico going on in nearest future, simply because of what you've just said - investors are not interested in risly fraud schemes.
However, scammers are not interested in starting and ICO knowing for a fact they won't get any money.
So I hope we'll come to the point when ico will be a normal thing to do again

Well so many projects coming up these days but the trust for initial exchange Offering is likely gone, only a few projects can be trusted and some time you are not sure until you see them listed, reason why we should do our research on any project we want to invest,so much scam around.

ico will be forever crowded as long as it still exists or is still being released in this forum. You can see from 2018 where the market is down and many ico's ended badly too, but in fact there are still many who are following ico and investing. for participants, ico is a gold field with no known certainty, yes or no. for investors, it's also like gambling, being able to win or lose depends on the success or failure of ico. That is the reason why ICO is always crowded and increasing, but I hope in the future ICO can be better.

In my opinion for ICO not many people like to following. Now a lot of people choose IEO where the duration of the campaign is not too long, especially since there is a plan to plan a large exchange. I'm sure the campaign participants prefer a short time and already have a market.

You should visit the ico list site before try to say anything related to this thing. It's better to provide the accurate data rather than try to say without any data that will be supported your statement. ICO and IEO are still exist together and both were still in the demand.

mostly untrusted now, less of ICO get success now. only bcnex that success with their ico but today it might be scamm projects to due unfinished maintenance in their sit.  there are alot example that ICO be good place for scammer to earn money by lie to investors. better participate in IEO than in ICO.

Yes, ICO scams always appear in this market. Every day there are many new projects created to deceive investors, so be really careful with it.

I think he’s mistaken with the perception about the ICO and IEO. People now prefer to invest their money to IEO rather than ICO. ICO is not the trusted way right now to offer the project token to the users and to promote the project throughout the duration of the campaign. I think we need to move on in launching project by means of ICO and no one now is promoting their campaign by ICO. The trust of these way is been broken and the trust that give away need to bring back to IEO so that new legitimate project can increase its potential and also promote the cryptocurrency to the world.

No, ICOs today don't have a stand on the market anymore or like they used to be. You should worry about other new forms of that trending lately like DeFi and such.

First some strong and reliable companies are coming into the crypto space. This has resorted to some persons trusting the company to run ICO with them. I think that's the new wave that is hitting every where in crypto space.

ICO's have been increasing as per the time passes but only a few will be survived in the market and most of them going to fail after a certain time later. The ICO's with the potential as well as useful ideas will have the major chances to become a huge success and another hand the ICO's with the same concept or idea is going to die sooner.

I remember ICO already decrease in momentum and nearly dead in 2019 but somehow, OP talk about it "increasing rapidly"? Thank god ICO doesn't popular anymore like it used to be and we have more options when investing like IEO and such.

Are you sure about that? if that's true maybe investors will not hesitate to invest in ICO again. but according to my personal analysis that there is still a lot of ICO fraud, and not many investors believe it. ICO is no longer as relevant as it used to be especially in 2017. ICO is now more like a hotbed of fraud and investors are reluctant to invest in ICO anymore.

IEO already stole the show from ICO, but I think the major reason for your statement is because recently some DEFI projects, including scams, started doing token sale from their own website. Some people just FOMO when they hear a new DEFI project is launching without even analyzing properly. Some of these said projects are successful, however many scams sprouted already via this means.

In which place is the ICO increasing if I may ask, because the last I remember vividly, ICOs haven't been heard of for a long time now infact no one is even saying anything about them when there is load of IEO projects at every corner. What I think is, ICO is decreasing rapidly or better still ICO time has passed, now it is all about IEO and exchanges.
Also, you should know that, even if ICOs will start popping up, it will be hard for them to win investors over again because of the painful past they had and the fraudulent processes associated with them in the past. In fact, there are many reasons not to think of ICOs and anyone who values his money should only bother himself with IEO on good exchanges; this is my thought.

I agree with you. Defi projects are now very risky because they are starting to use ICOs to attract investors. I am sure there will be many stupid investors who will invest in projects like this without ever researching. This is an opportunity for scammers in this market and there will undoubtedly be hundreds of Defi projects and 90% of which are scam projects that you should stay away from.

ICO are definitely different now so care must be taken when investing in projects like this. Currently, ICO are almost dead and forgotten, so I believe that the projects using the ICO form are all scam projects. Now the current investment trend is IEO because the projects using this type of investment are all projects that are guaranteed to exchange and do not take too long to wait.

Even though it is true the ICO project has increased again, then I think investors will still not trust them anymore. But I see this thread is a thread in 2019, so I think OP not seen in 2018 that there have been many ICO scams, now the IEO project has begun to increase, while the ICO project has dimmed.

Where did you get the static data? I haven't seen much ICO this year, and I think many people don't have trust in ICO anymore. Projects like ICOs and IEO are now experiencing a decrease in trust, so I think increasing ICOs is the wrong result. As related to the project, that when viewed static data this forum's visitors have increased. I think you need to look back at the data from icorating sites or icoreviews sites.

 is ICO actually increasing now ? to me it seems IEO has taken over and people prefer IEO to ICO . May be from their past experience where a lot of scammers came up with different ICOs . I still feel skeptical investing in ICO i prefer IEO if listed on a good exchange.,

Ico is still increasing right now even the IEO has become the main trend and you can try to see the icodrop site and then you will see how much the icos that have already ended and the upcoming icos too.

There are so many new projects these days and I think so many of them are reliable projects.

I wonder what will happen if Binance did not conceptualize IEO many investors will not invest anymore even if the project looks good or they will prefer to invest when the project landed in the market because from all angle ICO is not safe any more it will never be now.

Well, if Binance didn't create an IEO then I think we're still stuck with ICOs. Since the creation of the IEO it has completely replaced the IEO and kept a lot of investors have profitable, and with the development of exchanges I believe the IEO will continue to exist in a long time

This is something that new members who have seent bounty for the first time, wish. But in the reality, is is nothing more than a wish for money, ICO mostly are scam and there is no sign of scams getting slower. Noone is regulated them besides SEC. And the number of ICOs is declining overall.

So ICOs were marred by the defeciency caused by different projects and also the incompetency of the team members and also the bridge in communication between the project marketing team and the community of supporters and also the scam projects that shutdowwn their platforms without refunding investors money and also the challenges encountered by projects in their vairous regions and government and enlistments. These contributively saw the ddemise of ICOs and the ushering in of IEO,STO anf the others.

Defi projects do not run ICO and if there is any Defi that confirms it is running ICO will not be able to have a successful fund raising round. I could remember seeing some Defi projects where people came to ask if it's ICO. Fundraisng is a very important part of a project it what it is captured with is very important. ICO is obsolete, there are now better ways to public sales.

Where exactly are the ICOs? If I remember vividly ICOs has decreased to the least minimum or even dead while DeFi projects are the ones increasing rapidly such that most new projects with a different idea are now gradually adding one or two features so as to be called Defi projects. Also, contrary to your opinion, with the dent on ICOs nature,  I do not think anyone will trust it again because we have now seen that ICO fundraising method is highly risky. My humble opinion is, it would be better going for IEO fundraising method as it have proven to be less risky for a long time now than engaging in something (ICO) filled with risks.

IEO is not even regulated by SEC too and I think you must see the latest upcoming ico and there was so many new coins will be coming for sure. Some of them were ico coins. I think that ICO is still existed and when there was someone who said it has already died and that's a rumour.

ICOs are dead in 2020, many of the greedy people take advantage of ICOs to make short profits then disappear without a trace.

However, it is different from 2017-2018 where ICO is very relevant, reliable, the roadmap is very clear and has accountable value.

Ico is slowly increasing because it always depend on bitcoin price, the bitcoin price is rising that is why so many ico are now establish, but i think some investors are still having fear on investing because there are still so many scam ico on the field.

For now, new investors are more interested in IEO, where the coin is already listed with several markets, while ICOs for now are less interested, due to a massive scam several years ago.

It looks like you are having a sweet dream about ICO in 2017. Even though there are new features that ICO has, they have not been able to restore investor confidence in him (because there are many fraudulent projects there). I am sure, both old and new investors into the crypto world will be more interested and choose IEO, this has proven to be safer and more profitable for investors.

I don't understand why it has something to do with Bitcoin's price. ICOs are not growing like they used to be because there were so many scam projects and it caused a lot of investors to lose. And no one else is interested in investing in it, IEOs are the best option for everyone and if you choose IEOs at large exchanges you get a huge profit.

ICO really have a lot of flaws for IEO, I still haven't really seen many ico projects at the moment, since many people have lost faith in it, rising ico is not correct

Due to some of the really promising projects people have again started to trust on ICO's. That's really good news for ICO's and recently many people have been moving towards crypto investment due to global pandemic and that's the great opportunity to generate money.

It is true the sentiment around ICO is changing, this was what I told my friends then that we just need like 5 ICOs perform well then the sentiments will change to positive but care need to be talking not to get greedy easily, I do not buy into the auction model some f these teams are employing because it only favours the early investors and the VCs, the only good thing now is the lock up period that is longer than before and help the project to find its feet in the market

Forget about 2017. Even now a lot of fraud is going on in the ICO sector. Even with a lot of advertisement and hype, many of the new projects are struggling even to reach the soft-cap levels. I was expecting that the new ICOs would at least listen to the concerns from the investors. But most of them continue to ignore the concerns and they seems to be after easy money.

Amount of ICO increases becuase of DEFI hype, I saw already couple ICOs that already ready to sell their token but their site was created couple weeks ago. My advice in this circumstances stay calm and don't participate in such ICOs in further time their will be cost nothing.

For now it is clear that ICO are no longer trusted by everyone, but in the past everyone has certainly been interested in ICO projects even though they did not develop properly in the end, so that's why IEO emerged and replaced all the shortcomings that had existed in ICO.

Now ico is about to death. a few project running their icos nowadays. But three or four years ago, ico was in fully demand but it rapidly get deacreased. now nobody have any interest about ico cause they don't want take risk and Run Over the same mistake. even its very hard for any project to gather their fund by icos. So lots of project start IEO, istead of ICO, for market demand

This is a fact, and I agree with you sir. In the past, a lot of ICOs were like mushrooms that suddenly grows, it was the trend and demand on that era. But as time has passed, it was gone for some doesn't trust on it because of the scams that happened. We should all hope that this never happened again at this time.

the work on customs with idealism helps as referring use of option on goods and services as both parties of provider and clients to manage with least of waste as the application of crypto technology with blockchain as becoming favorable for business as managing distinctive on parts with composite.

I agree with the poster here that Defi is one of the main reason for the increase in ICO during the last quarter. Too many scammers are forking already successful projects and then doing a rug pull. This is similar to the scams which we had during the crazy ICO run in 2017.

ICO numbers is as yet expanding however their quality and dependability are diminishing. The vast majority of ICOs today are trick and albeit some of them are genuine however their foundation are not possible to the market in which it will flop at long last because of lacking speculators. So for me amount is pointless if your ventures odds of losing is extremely high.

That's correct, it's the reality that some still failed to figure out, I would bet, it's hard to find a successful ICO in 100 ICOs, that's the rate, so even at 1% success rate, I would still hesitate to give that based on the current situation, in short, ICO's popularity are over.
