Series of tokens have been developed and some are still in the ICO. Those that have been completed and listed on exchange are really suffering a big blow in term of loss of value in the exchanges. The new ones are scared of being listed on exchange at the moment because of the market situations at the moment and the effects it could possibly have on their tokens' value.

Because the market is looking more and more like the dotcom (Internet) bubble. A new project born this year can of course succeed in the long term, but don't forget about the crashing of many dotcom companies at the end of the nineties. The situation of the cryptocurrency market right now is very similar to the dotcom bubble. Many think twice before entering the market.
2018 is a deciding year. It was kind of expected though.

They are now in tragic lost, I even saw an ICO when ETH's value was around $400-$500 and they declared that 1 ETH = $800 as per their ICO tokens.

I forgot what's that ICO. I wonder how they are doing right now.

ICOs that are still on their pre-sale are having a tough fight of ETH vs. $ value.

I think that's not about ethereum price, yes indeed many new tokens distributed with ICOs have fallen to near zero, but also some of them perform well against eth. Just look at ZRX/ETH chart, though ZRX has also crashed too much nowadays it still outperform eth.

I think, lots of new ico tokens are killing ethereum.

They are dumping ethereum they gathered throught ico.

This has actually effected the upcoming projects, however is also a good opportunity for those who have Fiat currency to enter the cryptocurrency market. Because the low value of Ethereum will enable them to buy more at very low cost.

The bad market, ETH is constantly falling, some ICOs are developing on the Ethereum, so I think that is the present time and the future will change completely.

It's true new ICOs in 2018 have killed ETH and made it so tragic now, dumping and not paying attention to anything.
I hope that after all ICO dumping, ETH is still over 100$ and it will recover quickly

Many did not expect a big drop in ethereum price and it certainly affected various ICO's. A lot of projects are now forced to adjust on this market condition.

Those new ICO are now afraid to trade on exchanges. At the current price of Ethereum, I believe no one dares to venture to get their ICO listed. If someone does this, it will bring a fatal blow to themselves.

Some of the though's is true since there are so many scam ICO's has been scattering  these days and maybe those scam dev's are one of the reasons why the Ethereum struggling by now, But I'm doubting to see some good changes right now but let see since Q4 is approaching and maybe we can see some good movements of the price since the Bull run has been speculated yet by many people around here to come anytime soon.

Definitely that has being the case of most ico will to get their sales on but with ethereum price it's won't allow investor come in.

it is not just that, people have stopped falling for the ICO schemes which means nowadays less people are even bothering to invest in ICOs and everyone who had any token have either dumped their tokens or have been thinking about dumping them so they are waiting for a good opportunity to take the most out of the market.
and this dump is also pulling ETH price down as the money is also abandoning ETH.

Yes, I agree with you. The situation is now extremely difficult. But I'm looking now on the market and it's starting to turn green and I think it's for a long time. Therefore, we hope and wait. And then with the altcoins, too, everything will be in order.

due to the strong fall of the etherium - many worthy projects that have collected soft cap eventually have a much lower amount for which they calculated and can not begin to implement their plans. Going to the stock exchange is not a good idea for new coins

Not all of them, remember ZRX has a fully working product and those coins which have not yet created anything can't protect their price to see the investors to dump it. And then i just try to see the fact that the whole of ERC20 tokens are getting big impact caused by the downtrend of ethereum itself.

It is like BTC's dominance on the cryptomarket and ETH kills tokens as I can see. The solution is not approved for this problem and now we can do nothing only.

Not all ICOs are afraid of Ethereum prices which are in a downward trend because they accept payments via fiat and Bitcoin.

My portfolio is 50% down at the moment, but there is still buying support, so the scenario is not that all bleak I read that there will be a lot of updates in the coming weeks and soon the market will recover like they always did in the past, but what's alarming is the long red market period.

The current price of ETH has caused a lot of ico tokens to have to delay the time to enter the exchange!
The project team is afraid that the exchange will cause a crazy fall in prices at this moment!
Maybe ETH slowly recovers to more than $500, and many new cryptocurrencies will enter the exchange!

These precarious times in crypto. A project I follow has postponed their ICO and this is largely because they know they'll struggle through raising the required amount.

all altcoins hit hard and fall at the same time, you are right that some ico are still delaying to be listed in exchange and even some ico are also delaying the ico schedule. I think developers have planned and made the best decisions for their projects.

They are scared because most of them run useless tokens that shouldn't have any value in the first place.  ::)

Those new tokens shouldn't be afraid of what is going to happen after all there ain't going to happen to their funds if they are not going to list the token. The price is going to be the price no matter what happen, if it decreases by the time it got listed on the exchange, its mostly due to the traders wanting to save their money before price fall further, those sold tokens can be bought by the team is they will and its up to the team still whether they can make it grow later on.

Yes unfortunately it happens today, but it seems to me that the team of the project is not interested what happens by investors tokens, they received an ethereum in the form of investments and they have money for the further development of the project if it was originally planned. And they kept their obligations by paying tokens to investors and placing them on  exchanges. What will happen next they do not care.

I believe those who launch ICO these days, will reach hard cap easily, because ETh price can reach 300 $ with some big green candles, like within a some days or week.
And in terms of usd their collections will be higher

This is a terrible times for ICOs, I can understand the one's that have refused to launch in exchanges due to the terrible situation of the market. I think converting part of their ICO funds to fiat at the moment might proof to help in some ways or getting a good manager to trading with some fund as per BTC/USD that is if the existing laws allow this.

Good decision they made by stopping their ICO in the meanwhile.

That ICO team should react if they can see the capacity that they can't do something about it. If they can estimate that its unlikely to collect and meet their expected cap, they should stop. Its better for them to stop it rather than pursue it and leave that project with their investors.

Some projects, of course, immediately died after being listed on the stock exchange at that time, but there are those who are struggling and I think they will be all right in the future, but many will certainly not envy!

Not at all. It depends on time of listing on exhanges. Some of ICOs collected funds while ethereum was above 600-800 at it is definitely crash for price after listing on exchanges.
But at the same time there will be ICOs which average eth price was something like 170-300 and in this case it is ok.
What is more, by the end of tokensale eth can grow and it means that token can show positive dynamics once got listed.

Many projects collected investments in the ethereum and, with a drop in the price of the ethereum, they lost money, now the projects can not complete the development without investment

   You are on a good way. It's vice versa, ICO's collect funds in Bitcoin, Ethereum,
and others. What's happen next is selling those coins for traditional currency,
with that money they invest in project, equipment, people. What happens with
sold tokens, people sell it for Ethereum and they sell Ethereum for profit in
trafit currency.
   Most of the tokes, if not all, drop hard after they got listed. That huge drop is
massive sell off. People wish to have traditional currency in their wallet, not
crypto-currency. When that change prices will start to rise.

crypto market as a whole is continuously in a very much destabilise situation and ETH where it is a platform for many tokens will definitely have adverse effects on the value all these tokens. I know about some of the projects that are ready but their team is not willing at the moment to launch them in a time when market has a lot of negative pressure. I hope the real project will find it's way to the success when the market will be favourable.

I don't blame them though because it create distrust on the part of their investors and not listing on the exchange because of fear may also create panic among the investors as to maybe they have been scam. As far as am believe, ethereum value will bounce back and everyone will amaze and probably some will definitely regret for not buying ethereum when its market value was below $200.

Not only that. Many ICOs are delaying distribution of tokens cos of ETH price, and its not doing any good to them, since some of them took investments in ETH when it was 5x higher, so good luck with not droping under ico price!

Etheruem is a top coin in crypto currency, after bitcoin the next alternative is etheruem that's why it plays a major role in the faith of other altcoins in crypto currency because most altcoins are built on the platform of etheruem which means any factor that affect etheruem will affect most of the altcoins. Etheruem decline in price that's why most altcoins drop massively in price, but I pray it will recover very soon than we thought so as other altcoins.

The market not bad, it just takes place such stage of development. Think, the market cannot constantly increase too. To it just neokhody rest.

Almost all projects use Ethereum payments, but the Ethereum value is currently declining.
So their ICO projects are delayed to anticipate the fall of their tokens on the exchange.
I think developers take decisions like delaying or stopping their projects is the right decision.

See to it that ethereum has a bad value up to this moment but if you have patience time will come that ethereum will recover thus erc-20 tokens also will increase . Patience is the key is what I am saying .

of course when the eth price falls, the token exchange rate will also go down. not only new tokens, the tokens that are already on the list have also decreased. some even dropped to 30%.

I still see a lot of on going ICO regardless of ETH's price regression. A Token's value shouldn't be hindered by ETH since most of the tokens are traded with BTC too and we all know how BTC can heavily affect the prices. From how I see it Ethereum is like Youtube then the tokens are the youtube channels. Their success can go on with or without ETH moving to their own blockchain or removing ETH trading pairs are just few of the many solutions if they think ETH is pulling them down.

all ICOs who use ethereum prices as part of their exchange rate when the ICO will not experience a loss, they still use ethereum prices at the price range they want, and that will not affect the token when the ethereum price drops. because all tokens will be converted into dollars.

Where did you get this idea?Are you a developer of that said ico whos now are scared of being listed in exchange?If not then this is all a nonsense issue and just a self created one

Yes i believe that theres a mass effect from the prices of the tokens and altcoins this price dropping of ethereum but it doesn’t mean that it woukd stay forever as is,so why doubtful about the capacity of each tokens/coins to make this through?You are just making things exaggerated,support crypto and everything will be fine sooner

That is the worst consequence when the ethereum or bitcoin price falls. Most of the ico when this situation occur, tend to pause their tokensale and just resume it when the market returns to normal.

I don’t think that influence of Ether price on various ICOs is so significant. Organizers of the ICOs will receive a little less money if they want to immediately sell all Ether, but they will further crush its price. If they don’t try to take everything here and now, then the situation is not so bad.

They are connected and this fact could be predicted. ETH is very weak now and it makes the whole situation on the cryptocurrency market not os bright because of ETH's effect on others.

These ICOs that were started recently really unlucky. Majority of people sit and keep their money and do not wan to invest.

This is the wrong view. Although the price of Ethereum is very high when you invest, the new coins are still losing money. But I think a good coin should be long-term, you can't just see short-term.

We the token holders are in the deepest feeling now because if theres whos more affected on this kind of burden that would be us.my last check in my folio all my tokens drops about more than 80% and thats hurting me because when i bought them i have a trust in their potentials but now i am partly doubting its capacity to recover


Not only those whos started recently but even the ico thats been in here for quite sometimes all of them are affected and not are suffering from a huge losses that driving some to desperation

I do not understand those companies who want to keep in their tokens without listing on the stock exchange. They that wait for better times? I can say that this fall will be delayed for several years, and there is no time better than now.

I think this is not related with ETH specifically this is problem of the stagnation at the crypto market as a whole.

You are right, many ICO developers are very afraid to immediately list their tokens because before they just list, they have lost because Ethereum prices continue to fall, if they register, then 100% of their tokens will soon be impacted by investors, because investors certainly will immediately sell their assets on a large scale to prevent more severe losses

You may have some misunderstandings. The value of ETH is provided by ICO. When there is a project demand, its value can grow! Although the price of ETH is falling, it does not affect ICO!

yes, ethereum prices do kill many new tokens, especially tokens that use ERC20 smartcontracts, their token prices will surely follow ethereum's price, and now the price will definitely fall due to falling ethereum prices

it actually works both ways.
meaning when ICOs are all crap and useless they lose value over time as they get dumped with time. and that brings ETH price down with it as it  is now losing demand.
similarly when ETH is losing value people are also leaving ICO tokens behind and many of them are also panic selling specially the ICO devs who had lots of funds to dump so it brings the price of both of them down.

The lower the ETH price, then you can ensure that the ICO tokens that will be listed on the market will not have a high value even many tokens with a value of under $ 0.1 and all that is very far from the ICO price they offer. I don't understand whether this condition will continue to survive on Crypto or all this is only temporary like last year.

Its quiet a sorry sight what us happening to Ethereum. The way individuals cycle it does not  give it the value as expected. Individuals always sell off their ICO token to ethereum and dump.

These problems are inevitable. In fact, Ethereum itself is also a victim. False ICO has caused ICO's reputation to suffer. This caused everyone to panic and the fraudster deceived ETH to escape. The price of ETH will fall so badly, which also affects the team that really wants to do things.

You are absolutely right and almost all projects speak about this. If the project goes to such a falling market on the stock exchange, then it is worth waiting for the fall in value in a matter of days. Here's a look at the coinmarketcap and there almost all the added coins are worthless. There will be real happiness if you find at least one project in which the token is worth 1 dollar or more. We are looking forward to solving etf and possibly another growth of coins as last year although it is not certain.

The decline in ICOs is mainly due to the quality and applicability of ICOs projects. The prices of most altcoin and tokens are decreasing! but still very suitable for long term investment.

This has nothing to do with Ethereum price. Try thesame thing on Ethereum alternatives nothing really will change. The prices of  Cryptocurrencies generally are on the decrease.

The tokens are probably not valuable to the holders? Developers need to create stuff worth holding. Or token distributors should find ways of rewarding those who would value/hold their tokens.

On the contrary, I'd say that new ICOs are killing Ethereum. Take for instance the amount of ETH being dumped by different ICOs in order to recoup their raised funds, it has a larger impact on Ethereum than ethereum has in ICOs.

You are mixing things with each other, yes Ethereum had a great impact on a lot of ICOs, but those are the one that was running early this year and this happened because the decline in their capital due to Ethereum price falling, basically the one who raised 10 million dollars ended up with just 3-2 million in hands.

But the effect you are seeing now on ICOs that is falling to even reach their soft cap and the projects that are succeeded to reach their goal but are afraid to get listed on exchanges is not caused by Ethereum alone, but it is caused by the whole market stat. In fact, make a deposit to buy a Token that is worth $1 today will cost you the same amount of money that cost you 10 month ago.

Oh, yes, that is a really big issue. Those projects who gathered funds in ETH are in big trouble if they did not fix it. Many could just go nowhere, as they will not have enough funds for declared things in the roadmap and that is a big issue. Weak projects will die shortly if they did not have a good financial planning.
On the good side, the projects will learn how not to spend money on not effective marketing, which some really do and they will be more accurate with the funds. Secondly, many projects been greedy by not fixing to fiat, as they thought ETH will raise and thus they will have more funds. Meaning they speculated on the contributors' money, that is quite a lesson for everyone.

I think it's the other way around. New ICO projects kill the Ethereum and the Ethereum are not them. They're pumping money out of him in large amounts.

The main drawback of ICO is most of the coin are scammers. Due to this most of people lose hope to invest in ICO. So most of the holders think ICO is not a good coin,  let's hope for a good change.

Yes you are right, many ICOs that have been running add to the ICO period until the end of 2018, and there are some coins that enter the market but the price falls because the prices of Ethereum and Bitcoin are unstable.
This is very different from the end of 2017 where the coins that enter the market are certain that prices will rise several times. I hope that it can happen again at the end of 2018 does not need the highest price but it needs a reasonable price.

That way the ICO will run properly and market circulation and prices will remain stable.

That Etheruem is the King of the ICO, if the token cannot follow the path of Ethereum, then the result is difficult to develop for the token.
Ethereum is also a cryptocurrency that can't be guessed at the price and it's a real coin.

the fall of etherum prices did make the token value also fall. In addition, there are currently many tokens that have not yet been launched on the exchange, even though they have achieved a soft stamp. maybe they are still waiting for etherum prices to be better to get good value on the exchange.

yes of course it's the best choice for now I appreciate their decision
and of course we can see how they work and try to protect their investors well.

Most ICOs using ethereum platform and i think its hurt for them when ethereum price drop. Many ICOs suspended and waiting market recovery again and i think it still unpredictable

I am agree on it.So many tokens have been built in ethereum platform.As the Ethereum  price goes down, most of the altcoin price drop a lot. Many altcoin traders are in huge loss as all the coin price dump up to 50-60%.

I dont think that's a deliberate act. ICO project owners must anticipate the level of risk, because they are working in a market that is constantly changing. If the project owners could not calculate the average level of fluctuation during the token sale, they were bad managers.

the more cases of ICO scams, then obviously there will be no good future there, and investors no longer want to invest there, because there are too many fraudsters. hopefully the ICO system will be repaired in the future

The price of Ethereum isn't killing crowdsales but it is making fund raising less lucrative with its recent decline in value

It may be more reasonable for projects to raise just a moderate amount not 100's of millions to develop a product/platform that can be made for far less

Do you think so? I believe ico are the ones who killed eth ask me why? Most ico don early and middle of this year earn nothing less than thousands of eth now tell me where they hide them in a wallet hoping they will earn more gain as time goes on but to their surprise only little are left to circulate and price happened to turn around to them badly which I think is good.

I do not agree with your statement. most of the new tokens killed what was missing from financing but not the price of ethereum

I think in general, it depens on the market. Due to the current market conditions, the price of ETH and of all new tokens is going down, and as soon as the market will recover, we will see completely different prices.

Yes you are right.  The situation with ethereum does not allow launching many promising projects!

It is not just about the price of ETH.
THe big thing in this maarket is the price of BITCOIN.
as many tokens in the market are depending on the price of BTC with USD.

Yes, many ICOs are affected by the prices in the market and many of them are very underestimated right now but when eth and the market will recover for sure all these ICOs will be at their right value

Yes, because of this, some projects do not rush to listing on the exchange. Other projects also moved their ico in the spring of 2019. I don’t know if this is good or bad for users, we hope to see soon.

Well this downfall is impacting in every aspect for investors as well as for ICO development team. When eth starts recovering then the Entire ICO's will start rocking. The market is unpredictable anything can happen we need to think in a positive manner.

Not all tokens lose the value of their assets, depending on the time of sale during ico, whether or not the token is potentially future.

I think it doesn't kill the new ICO tokens. It really influences the beginning of the tokens or coins from ICO with the very low price. Almost all coins or tokens will have dropped price after the listing. It is influenced by the price of the ETH, for this eth is used for many ICO payments. So this is why the dropped price of ETH really give the big influences. but, i don't think that it is a killer. It is only not the right time for every ICO tog grow now.

I think we are looking at a selection of good and not so good projects and tokens.
Surely only the best projects and tokens will survive and most tokens will become worthless.
But that is just my personal opinion.  ;)

Because most of these projects are garbage. They were made for quick money making and soon such projects will die. They were never going to do any development in their projects. You look at this statistics. In 90% of Altcoins, the code is 80% copied from other projects. Therefore, they lose in price immediately after the ICO. Read this article.
https://news.bitcoin.com/chinese-report-finds-9-in-10-altcoins-stolen-80-code/

precisely I think otherwise. many new ico killing ethereum.
ico scam and not succeeded in causing a lot of dumping ethereum
we haven't talked about hacking yet.

You can look at this problem from a completely different angle. In order for any startup to collect about $ 2,000,000, it needs to receive only 10,000 eth from investors. But if in half a year the price of ethereum increases by 3 times, then it will be no longer 2,000,000 but 6,000,000.

I do not think that all responsibility should be placed on the ethereum, because there are too many factors that influence this situation. It is impossible to perceive this question unequivocally.

But it seems to me that everything is the opposite, because it was the high prices that could very badly worsen the situation with the ICO, because in the end they collected very little ETH and now after the price fell, many projects simply fell in price and are not being developed.

This may partly affect the creation of new platforms, but in greater complexity everything depends directly on the project itself, that is, if the project cannot fully realize itself, then no platform will save this project because if the project cannot provide a product, then what will happen to him when entering the stock exchange

Last year, there were a lot of ICO projects in the market. Many people put their money into ICO. Because this year is a bear market. Many people have lost their funds. Financing new ICO projects is very difficult now. Besides, the price on the exchange will not rise.

Yes, the ethereum went down a lot from ath as many other coins too. You cant expect the crypto booming in a bear market and it is wrong to blame for it the ETH. So, i don't think that ethereum price is killing a lot of icos, more likely the whole ico popularity is gone down in general.

Its true, because of one reason that some ICO nowadays depends in the ethereum platform. So basically if ethereum value goes down just like what happening now new tokens and ICO are suffering.

That is truth and that is why we need ethereum to survive more than any other coins because about 90% of tokens depends on it . I could still remember some projects that during icos ethereum is above $800 and the just being listed in exchange.

The value of ETH, attached and dependent on the development projects on its foundation. But look around ... a lot of projects are built sloppy and irresponsible. There are a lot of brushes with scams and fake ones. They inherited the features on this platform. It does not really promote the goal and responsibility of developing according to the utility or product. Do not blame ETH.

This is a bad time for new ICO alerts when listing trading floors. Price is always lower than Preico or ICO. Perhaps it was the influence of ETH pricing and some users dumped the tokens as they were listed.

I don't think so, strong projects have nothing to fear, but they do not go to bir and afraid to lose money, but this in turn inhibits their development, as the market is more likely that investors perceive a project.

Or maybe it's completely different. In fact, this a lot of new ico killing the price of ethereum. No one knows the exact number of sold eth which was compiled by these projects.

But I don't think so. ICO helps ETH price increase quickly and it also makes ETH price fall down very quickly. ETH depends on the ICO but there are too many ICO scams and they sell all ETH after the ICO, and it has caused the ETH to fall down as it is now. And now the ICO has been abandoned and it is difficult for the price of ETH to rise again

ethereum really give hard knocks for the ICO. even the most experienced of the extension because of the value that they are targeting is becoming increasingly fall caused by the influence of the value of the ethereum too. This being is one reason that this year is a time of less well for most of the ICO and their certainly this can be continued when the value of the ethereum not stable or rising.

You're right, not only in the new ICO, but this also affects the ICO who have already run their projects. well, this really has an effect. but I think the price of ETH will be higher again.

It is because every ICO price follows with ethereum price and if ethereum is not reached more than $500, then the ICO price will not increase. Many investors losing hope from the ICO and they don't want to speculate with the ICO, and they feel good if they can invest in ethereum only than in the ICO. The ICO itself become a scam and run away with the investor's money, and this makes the investor losing their trust to the project too.

It is also a natural rule for new coins to be raised based on ETH. It is a big challenge for our entire market now that ETH has fallen sharply.
