Recently we had many ICOs getting in with best projects getting listed on exchanges successfully but their value did not even cross the ICO price. I predict that this trend stopped new ICOs getting in with their innovative projects assuming they might loose their values if they pitch in during this crisis moment. What do you think?

I noticed the number of ICO launching are decreasing. It's not very high like it used to be at the beginning of the year or like last year. I personally invested on few ICOs and most of them are not even closer to their ICO price now.

I assume the new ICOs are just buying time to ensure the market goes up then they will start pitching their project (?)

PS: There are few good ICOs around though.

Current market condition is definitely affecting on ICO launches because they cant able to reach out even on their min cap.Why? Investors either afraid or already have doubts to invest into this bear market inspite on having lots of scams chances of losing money would be even more if their investment turns out to be non profitable due to the coins value drops to the floor.Yes, there are still some considerable projects but finding them would really be the hardest part.

It's not the best time for ICO obviously as the market is down, some projects are even holding off from listing on exchanges

Why would they stop if they are only looking at those prices? a real project would conduct its crowd funding (ICO) regardless of the ICO price. Though this is also another goal for them to reach higher prices but if the project is something that the people will be interested of, it will increase no matter what they do and expect people are buying it and wanting to hold it. And that's why they are developing different algorithms for it.

I don't think so, the ICO owns and carries innovations that clearly these innovations will develop or stop because they are not used even if they don't make sense in real life. For those that can be used or adopted, the ICO project will continue to grow and reach the point of adoption or large use and generate huge profits in the future. In my opinion, now is a situation where the resilience of the team and even the project in the face of critical situations is tested, and if the project or team can deal with this situation luck and their products will have a positive impact. This is a big test for the new ICO that will be released

Well, some projects even decided to cancel/postponed their ICO because of market (they are afraid if their ICO will raise small amount only because of that).

I see just few comments disagree that the price of bitcoin affects the ico project lately and that is my view too. The price of bitcoin won't really discourage investors to put down their money but the investors will be at cross road to invest if the project is convincly good.

A good project stands out despite the time, season of the year, the price.

Many top projects do not want to release a token right now because it will immediately go down, and people will lose faith in the project, so we need to wait for green charts)

yes it was a correct finding. the new ico is no longer gaining any harm and the market is entering the market and it brings a lot of damage I do not trust anymore. if an ico is very good it would be more sensible to buy it from the market

ICOs are very difficult to survive in this market they will fall with a value that is lower than the target set, many ICOs everywhere have to be a mirror that it will hurt them, the disposal everywhere is getting deeper, indeed the market conditions like this very influential because everyone is very afraid to enter FOMO not to repeat.

My last 4 investment was Atonomi , Oneledger , tolar and Quadrant protocol , and i have followed some icos as well , on 10 ICOs i have followed only one stay aboved ico price others where gone down below 80% it hurts tho lol . thats why my new strategy is avoid ico and wait for it to hit exchange and bought with a premium discount price rather than fight for a slot on whitelist

As we all know, this is indeed a very difficult time for the ICO, so I also see many projects that carry out the ICO by adding a long time schedule while waiting for the market to improve.

ico is being lethargic because every ico has entered the market the price is far from ico, now investors rarely want to buy ico because ico can no longer be expected ..
I guess I need time to go back like the beginning of the year

The ICO is no longer as organized as it is in 2017, but there is a strong improvement in the quality of each project.
They are just having difficulty with the current crisis market, once everything starts to recover, they will move forward.
So I think there is no problem with the ICO in the future, maybe the number of new ICO will drop a lot, but the quality is not worried.
It is a good opportunity to invest from the end of this year to next year.

Yes, of course in such a market, projects are simply afraid to start fees. investors do not want to invest their money. why do it if on the byrzhe the same token can be bought 5 times cheaper.

Well, it is something we will always get to see in a bear market and sure it can be a whole lot devastating for investors to see their investment go down hugely in the short term even though they want to keep hopes up for the long term.

One thing that is certain about this market is the fact that there is actually a huge chance that the market would recover and then we will get to see good days ahead, but before then, I just see now as a chance for any smart person to be picking these coins at this early stages so as to be able to get the best in the long run when the whole market bounces back.

We have seen a lot of ICOs go below their ICO price before and then recover hugely when the market bounced back, so this is an opportunity.

I agree with you completely. After all, now the market is experiencing a crisis and no one gives guarantees in the success of ICO. Very big risks that the project will fail. Investors are afraid to invest.

It is very obvious that the current state of the market is making the developers very doubtful about releasing their coin right now because they do not think that they are going to get enough funding to create their project, I know that no one likes this, but it is understandable that the developers do this because they want to make their project a success and that is very difficult to do right now.

Really a very difficult time I must say, but the thing here is that there is still a lot of chance for growth in the future and certainly all hope is not lost for the good projects with very great products and responsible team.

The market in a downtrend really affected a whole lot of things and a lot of the investors are either sitting it out to see how things will pan out as well as teams postponing their ICOs until the market gets favorable in its condition. For now, what we have is a huge bear market that has affected a whole lot of the ICOs and it is best to just still have a chance to pick them up now anyway.

This is really a very bad phenomenon, because I have seen many ICO projects start to cut prices when they enter the exchange, but I think this is because their product and project policies are wrong, aren't they?

all projects experienced delays and even canceled the ico project, because crypto conditions are currently experiencing price reductions, only bitcoin still survives,
in 2019 there is a possibility that there will be an ico surge that is held back in 2018 so the developers are waiting for the market to recover, and then they open the project again.

Absolutely, this red market effect has an impact on the ICO. let's look at some ICO projects that have entered the market today and they almost lose the price of more than half the price. Maybe it makes many future projects a little scared and prefer to wait until the market situation returns to normal.

Well, what else would you have expected from most of the developers considering the fact that once released on an exchange with the way the market has been, the chances of seeing the price go below ICO price is there.

It is never a problem for me anyway, and I always look out for market with potentials at times like this, as long as there is future for a market, the chances of seeing it grow eventually will always be there and it would only take a smart individual to know that a market that has gone so low when compared to the ICO price will have a chance to making a quick run towards that price and far beyond eventually, while some people will instead be joining FOMO over again after selling the bottom.

Situation would really be always like this and these are the things we do see until now which this kind of cycle mostly on newbie investors or even the typical ones do have that kind of behavior on where
 they don't really think up carefully on choosing a good one but rather loves to join when theres hype and go with the flow and FOMO. Even myself as a developer I would really hesitate on making such crowdfund when I do see the market is very bearish but if you are really serious in spite of the current market condition then potential of your project would lead into a possible success when the market starts to recover.

i think put money at the very beginning of the ICO is a huge mistake nowadays, even if the project is good. If i had money to spend i wait that ICO, will be after will be at exchanges.

They are not the ones cutting prices actually, it is actually the demand being lower than the supply, and whichever way, I do not think any smart team would want to be dumping on their holders and affecting the reputation of their project.

As long as you know what you are holding and you believe in its long term, then, there is no problem at all, but as long as you panic and sell at loss in the red market below ICO price when you should actually be buying, shows you really do not trust in the long term of the project, so in the end, the choice is always going to be yours as an individual.

It is a normal thing to see New ICOs trying to stay clear off the market until the coast is clear, so I guess we might need to see a balance or an uptrend before we start seeing some of them kick in.

indeed. This is a difficult time for money mobilization in the ICO. investor confidence, funding, market trends are not supporting these processes. Including news and market value easily bleed. Scam still exists and spins more. The data shows that the market went up strongly at the end of the year. Particularly, November-December is still a glimmer of expectation ahead.
The status set is still ETH. How the value sold in the ICO can be preserved when dealing. No team wants that, not to mention the quality of the product they create. It must follow the general trend and decide its value. An ETH at the end of March - Ap is ~ 820 $ and right now is ~ 200 $. Too much decline with altcoin

Undoubtedly, today's course is not very good for some projects, but despite this, some projects are gaining their hard cap.

I also noticed that many of the projects hardly reach the hard cap. Some even soft cap can't collect. Certainly one of the main reasons is the falling market. After the rapid growth of crypto at the end of 2017, a large influx of new people and projects appeared. Everyone who missed it will have to wait for a new one. Then there will be more successful projects, I think.

Hey. The red market is just one of the reasons why there are very few ICO projects.

Even in these bad times, high quality ICOs can be very bad. Very little will gain value.

When the prices of crypto currecnies are in red then the new launched tokens will not reach the ICO prices so the project team need to postpone their project or need to reduce the value of their token if they want to rebuild the trsut of the ICO investment among the investors.

100%, that the red crypto market has a lot of influence on the appearance of new projects, and when listing on the stock exchanges does not grow and generally hide the prospects of projects! If the band on the forum, with the name of Bounty, a year ago, the choice was huge for participation, then at the moment the choice is small. Very few new projects!

Just as people restrain themselves from selling coins, they also hold back the developers in their companies! Do not know what to do? Is it better to wait or still take a chance! But still the red market holds back the development of projects!

When the ICO takes place the token price is not affected by any factor, only the developer determines the price depending on the target of the project. But when these tokens has listed in several exchanges, what will affect the price depends on the overall cryptocurrency market condition. Buy and sell by the token/coin user depends on the current market conditions. As it is now, the cryptocurrency market has decreased so that it will also affected to tokens/coins that new listed in several exchanges.

I believe that this statement is reasonable.
i read so many ICO and saw the news that they are postponing their ICO project because of the situation in the market.
They believe that this is not a healthy season to gather investors as many people are just holding their tokens.

We have been waiting for the green market for more than half a year. So you can skip everything. Good projects have been and will be despite the market.

I also think that the market has a great influence on ICO projects. Many are afraid to release their token on the stock exchange, so that its price does not fall many times. I think the ICO trend will go down if the market continues to fall.

Remember how successful projects raised funds in 2017. All because the market was in good condition and investors were not afraid to invest their money. And now the situation is very bad. We can only hope that those projects that come out now will be able to realize themselves in such a red market and when it is green again we will get a good reward.

I had also noticed that many ICOs had waiting for the market recovery until they will get listed on the exchanges. This is a good strategy to avoid being affected with the bloodbath of the market as their price will surely hit bottom if they will get listed with the downfall of the market. Being a investors I understand their situation as they protect their investors and their project from this bearish market.

I personally miss where every ICO can always reach hardcup.
and people want to invest in it, and unfortunately I don't see such things again this year.

yes bro because now the situation is very apprehensive by looking at the red market and somehow or not, it's the one who is a little less attractive to the new investors, with ico just entering the market, it must be very difficult to get investors if the current situation but we don't continue to give up must remain as devoted as possible to continue hunting new ico huh know there is a gift behind this all that will provide future success for all of us

This is a very difficult time for ICOs. A lot of projects have to think how to get investments first. Only after that they think how they'll keep the value and price of their coins on a decent level. Investors are not very enthusiastic about investing into crypto now due to this long and drastic dip.

Investor confidence in the project has decreased, many investors are already tired of the scam ICO project, they are spending money to invest but the money is gone. Though the ICO is a recommended place to look for big profits, by investing in ICO they only spend a little money and then the results will get a lot of profit. I'm a bit sure, if there are still many ICO scam then soon or later project ICO will disappear from cryptocurrency. That is the most important factor for the future of the ICO project

Weak company even with good results of ISO at the moment will not be able to increase the value of their token, but strong company with a good idea and implementation can turn out to grow due to the absence of competitors.

Hey. I believe that the first peak of the launch of ICO projects has already passed. Therefore, now there are fewer launches of such projects.

Recently, few ICO projects have been formed and sold in the market, perhaps because too many failed projects have made investors feel discouraged when investing in ICOs. The market is beginning to show signs of fluctuations, do not know the trend will increase or decrease but I still expect great ICO projects can promote the market.

yep , recently more and more ico has been delaying their TGE / Token sale due to unforeseen event ( Bearmarket ) cause they might or will end up not reaching atleast the softcap , on 10+ icos that i have followed only few reached soft cap , although they reached softcap when it get listed on exchange it just pulmet , some ico dare to even continue most of them have really good backers

Yes. New projects do not want to start raising funds in such a market, since even the best projects now have difficulties with sales.

Sure, a lot of them having seen what have become of the market and how that has affected investors when it comes to investing in ICOs at this point in time, the best is to just stay clear for the mean time.

One thing though is that for the ICOs with very solid potential that have already been listed in the market, it is a good thing to be taking advantage of them at this point in time, considering the fact that they will always get to increase hugely and at least go back testing their previous ICO price and then brewing past it and for someone who has already been able to invest now when the market is low, are the ones who will be enjoying the benefits in the long run. People by now should be smart, but because they just get blinded with panic, they would not.

A lot of ICO teams took the decision to hold on and to extend their ICOs till better times when the market will recover. And I think it's a right decision and we all know that November-December will bring us a good profit.

I see a big potential in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. And there are a lot of new ICO with are great ideas and a strong team which will change our life to better in the future.

The market is terrible bad and that's a fact nobody wants to lose money or invest in a bad investment but despite that I know few projects that are still going ahead to run ICO and the soft cap have been reached. In this kind of market the project really needs to be unique.
Next year or when the market recovers alot of project will resurface.

Iteres to ICO has fallen significantly, and one of the reasons for this is the fall in the cryptocurrency market. Naturally, now it is very difficult for projects to collect large sums of money. If the market recovers, then the investment in ICO will resume

Completely agree, the market is now going through a lousy time, so the ICOs are mostly having problems, but like many here I think a good ICO, with a good team, despite the difficulties will have no trouble getting great rewards when the market finally recovers.

There are a lot of new ICO with are great ideas and a strong team but you need to learn about them 

Stop deceiving yourself bro, the market is always going to have two different trends and the peak you are considering is over, more would come and we would get to see how people would most definitely end up reacting to it in the long run.

This is something that should tell you that rather than imagining a peak that is no longer possible, you should be looking at an opportunity to buy some of the markets at their dips and then make sure they are actually markets worth holding with great potentials for growth. A lot of them are trading below their ICO price, it has happened before and it will happen again, but what does that tell you? Buy and hold!

The collection of money from ICO projects has decreased very much. This is because of the market situation. New projects appear, but more and more often I notice that projects stop raising funds and return funds to investors.

Current market condition is really a big factor plus the add up of lots of scam projects in the market.It will surely decrease up the accumulation of invested funds into those projects and even the legit
ones would really be mainly affected.If this bear market would continue then its much better to see that gradually projects launch ups would be decreased.

Yeah that's true, those developers are concern on the effect of their token prices once it get live on the exchanges. The price will get down due to the erratic price of ETH which mostly they have pairing on ETH. We should be patience and understand those team to wait until the market recovers from this bearish trend. The success of the team will also a success on their investors.

I think that this will not be for a long time, and soon everything will continue and everything will be much more beautiful, and there will be more opportunities to earn, only now you need to find such a project so that it would be large-scale.

This is a very difficult time for crypto projects. Many projects have been postponed indefinitely ICO. I still do not know when I will receive my crypto coins Origo. And when the crypto project Certic start.

No one can predict the future but somehow we can really presume that there would be always a possibility for a comeback where this market wont really be just to be bearish forever.
Its no surprising that new ICO's or projects will really be held back if they do look out on the current red market because they do already foresaw on what would be the possible result of such request of funding.

Red market was part of what held it in since people are less inclined to invest money when they are losing money but then again that is not the only factor that is affecting them. The ICOs being put into the market now are not being properly worked on and people can see through that, no body wants to invest in a coin that they cannot be sure will end up doing well

The red market is a bad thing for cryptocurrency and ICO. I see there are many ICO have not listing their token because the market is still on the bottom.
But i think the reason for there is not much new ICOs for now is because there are very few investors who want to invest in ICO.
It is different from last year, there were many investors who want to invest in ICOs.

if the project is good, with a good team and with a good product, then such projects collect investments in a very short time! such projects do not pay attention to the red market! sooner or later everything will start to grow up and all projects will rise well in price! the only reason: why there were few projects, because they are not confident in their abilities!

Yeah in the current market hard to gain good price for ICO. Many ICO just postponing there listing dates and waiting for good market situation. Hope next coming months can be change the current situation. 

Market is all about sentiments, since the sentiment in the market about ICOs is very poor what do you expect, for me this is a good time of reflection, because when this overvaluation of projects started i was pointing this out and everything is dawn on us now, how in the world would a project with nothing on ground be asking for more than $20 million, how much was raised by Stratis, Lisk, Waves, Ethereum, NEO etc and they all have returned huge profit for investors. We need to get this right

in my opinion you will never find the perfect ico but it is kokaybas there are still a lot  of good ones right now if you look fkr them

in my opinion it is jot the right time to get paniced andto seel everything as you will regeret it afterwards

Of course, some projects did not start fundraising due to the market situation. But at the same time, many scammers again collected money.

The cryptocurrency bearish market this year have affected a lots of opportunities created and stiffen growth of new project coming to the market! At the moment,  it is important to preserve capital in bearish market because price always dump in bearish market!

Yes that is a possible option. and sounds reasonable. there is no particular benefit to releasing your tokens to the market if they are immediately merged and they lose value. there are few volumes on the market and everyone is waiting for changes

Everything is correct. It is a lot of bad projects and the cost of their coins is several times lower than on start of the project.

Most projects are garbage and nothing. Most projects are created only for quick money collection. This market needs to be regulated. Projects now collect less money due to two reasons: investors have become smarter and a bear market.

Its getting toward the end of the year,I guest the market will get a little improvement but a lot of improvements will come 2019,it's just a prediction anyway.

This is primarily due to the poor market situation. Now investing only brings losses, so many people do not take risks and stop investing.
I would love to invest in new coins. But all my money is frozen in coins with fallen prices.

I agree on you mate, many ICO has force to pause their crowd sale due to this market situation. I think they will resume once the market returns to a bullish trend. Be patient you can get your coins soon.

This makes me feel like ICOs are been launched only for the gain,why worried about the projects because of red market ? If they are bold enough about their project they won't mind about if market is doing fine or not

Strange understanding of the situation. I think that a bad situation on the market, for example, red zones on the market and situations when there are few investors in the market, probably still may seem very, very bad, because in most cases it happens that people just panic and sell everything. I think that the ICO does not benefit from this.

It will take some time before the entire market will recover but if the project is for real and there's a good team behinds it will happen and you will be able to receive your coins and maybe timing will bring more value for your holdings, focus and being positive will generate good outlook in type of a bearish market
calm down and keep believing.

Yes, for sure. If I would start an ICO, I will wait until the better market conditions, because if you look at the market now it is a very bad situation for an ICO. Nobody can even achieve a soft cap. Just wait and when the market recovers we will see much more ICOs.

Almost ICO's are having a huge dump the moment it went live in some exchanges and with the current market condition, I wouldn't be surprised. Also it's the best time to buy when the dumping happens because it's time to fill some bags.

I think this happen because of bounty hunters and private sale participants, as long as you know that currently bounty payments are always delaying even for almost 6 months there are no listed in a decent exchange so when some token listed in central exchange they will immediately sell them because need money. On the other hand, private sale participants get a lot of bonuses at lower price than pre-sale and ICO, so in my opinion even if they sell it under ICO price still gets profit

I notice a lot of good projects going on hold because the market is too tough and they don't want to give up. EXPERICOIN is just one example. It came out of Harvard but couldn't break the bear market to reach the softcap

I think that the same quality of ICOs is what stops them when it comes to success, you can say that it is the market or investors, but as we have seen in previous cases, only really good ICOs or those with better marketing are the ones that are successful now, it is no longer as easy as last year, where there were rivers of money for everyone, now you have to be much more tactical with the launches of new ICOs.

A good coin that is listed at this time of bear now, can only loose it's price, i.e, the ICO price, but not its value. Such coin should be allowed to face the challenges at this time and when the market get better, they will be able to sail through easily.

Indeed true, some projects even have chosen to pause or delay their crowdsale in order to avoid the downfall movement of the market which would negatively influence the incoming projects. Oersonalky, i do believe that it is a good idea to not release the project at times like this but rather wait untik recovery happen. In such way, the project won't be wasted just because of the red marks.

Blocking the new ICO must not be a red market. It was a crisis in its own ICO, and too many scams caused ICO to fall out of favor. Investors have left the cryptocurrency market, and too many investors still believe in US stocks. In the short term they will not attack the cryptocurrency market.

Of course, this will happen, but it is very rare. I think that even if most of the ICO projects complete the initial fundraising and listing, their team's operation and plans may have problems, leading to a decline in overall prices!

i hope so. we are waiting for a new bull run  ;D. and there are already so many listed altcoins with a good project behind and their prices in exchange platforms are below ico price.

Possibility is true that new ICO's development will stopped developing because most of the ICO's in today's year are unable to reach the hardcap or softcap makes lossing of funding due to digital crisis trends. Though i consider it a session of market starting this year but we are hoping it will return to normal next year.

It is clear, that a lot of ICOs are not going to start their fundraising phases on this market. Just wait for the better market conditions and we will see a lot new and perspective ICOs that will give us a good profit.
