What's going on with big successful ICO projects? Big Successful Projects like Pumapay, HDAC, Cryptosolartech, Bankex. Look at their coin price, every coin price is like nothing and their trading volume is too low! Pumapay raised 117 Million USD, but their trading volume less than 2 Million USD and coin price are just ridiculous. HDAC, Such a promising Project it was, but HDAC ico investors are lost their investment, ICO price was 1.25 USD per HDAC Coin and now it's trading with 0.037 USD! Seriously? And the same thing happened with Bankex, Cryptosolartech. But Why? What is the reason behind it?

Yes, I see the coins that you mentioned above have very cheap prices on the market, maybe this happens because the market is currently experiencing a price decline, causing a lot of ico coins that have lower prices ... but if their products are more famous or the team buy back then there will be a possibility that the coin will experience a price increase

Well the situation with the cryptocurrency market is not only peculiar to exiting coin and altcoin it also effect new altcoin that had a successful ico but some are not so much affected. Yes the coin you mention had an OK iconic where effected by market situation

One reason I could think of is that, It's a scam  :D When you have a project raising millions of dollars, Pricing their coins at let's say $1 per coin when investors wanna buy them in the event of an ICO and later the price drops down, It was a scam coin, Team and project.

The market in general is experiencing a decline in price which is not limited to certain coins but all coins in crypto world. The reason for this decline is as a result of SEC regulation in crypto-industry, patience is the solution for all investors......

That is the hard truth in cryptocurrency. Because it is so unstable that prices can be very expensive or cheap depending only on the news around the world. Any slight bad news for crypto and then the prices go rolling down, and there will be no exception even if how good the product is.

I'm sure we will see a surge on token price for DAPP platforms as they begin to gain traction.

This is one of the reasons why I consider ICOs as a terrible investment (just my opinion). No matter how much successful or blooming the ICO project may seem initially, the aftermath most of the times end up being a disaster. Like you said, extremely low trade volume and ridiculously low price compared to ICO price. That's is why, just stick with trending and well known crypto currencies like bitcoin and ethereum.

It is sad to say that most ICO nowadays are sinking the price exaggeratedly because of the bear market. Most of its investors preferred to let go of their holdings and decided to invest to a stronger project or part of the top 10 altcoins in coinmarketcap. A massive selling always happen to an newly listed altcoin so this type of scenario is pretty normal and to be expected. These ICOs really looks promising but it also looks like the way they handle the project is pretty disappointing because of poor management.

Project big successful in ICO doesn't mean it's must give back investor 10x profit return when first listed on exchange, I've join some ICO project that raised more than 20M, after few month price don't give me 10x profit , it's subtract 10x ICO price now, I've no idea what is the reason, maybe market price still under correction?

not only because market conditions are decreasing, sometimes we have to see how good and influential the ICO is. Just look at ubex, this ico has just finished completing the ICO and now the price is rising high in unfavorable market conditions, because ico has a good influence and concept for the community

Definitely this is happening only because of the price fluctuations. Also people are losing trust in ICO as most of them are scammers. Also there are most of the promising coins as well.

Ubex just one in a thousand, just small ICO like that nowadays. or you know again?
i personall agree that market conditions are decreasing, those make not only exciting coin drop, but ICO coins are drop too

I am still unbelievable with success ico project for selling and get hard cap target, but their coin after listing at exchange market too cheap and low, maybe team ico and owner have run away for listing at bigger market of their coin ?

Well, when they started their ICO, the ETH price is around 600~800$, and now it's 200$. So you can understand why the price is dropping so many times compared to the ICO. The second is that many investors have sold off and not keep the market down.

This cryptocurrency market can be anything. Many successful projects after ico just stop working on the product. And the price of a coin lies at the bottom for many years. Here the current growth of the entire market like last year can help. Everyone needs a current bitcoin and this is perfectly shown by his domination.

Market conditions are moving towards worse situations with each passing day. Unfortunately, as a result of the decrease in the money circulating in the market, each field has been activated, and unfortunately, ICO projects have the most serious impact on the affected areas. Especially in the last few months, the lack of successful price-based projects is noteworthy. Last year, these projects, which offer incredible earning opportunities, unfortunately do not offer earnings this year, and on the contrary, they cause damage to the investor. For example, although the UBEX project, which was completed for the last day, seems to have won, it has unfortunately not provided any income to its investor. The reason was that both late token had been delivered and the project team did not progress properly.

IMO, it is not only the prices of ICO projects’ coins are shrinking. The overall crypto market has been affected. If you believe in the project, it is a good time to buy more of the coin at a low price.

Indeed. I also saw that HDAC is doing so bad lately and the community has started to have questions regarding to project and development but if we retrace back in winter you can see clearly that bitcoin price was at it's highest and HDAC ICO was in running in that time so this puts HDAC to be tight with the curent price of bitcoin scaled at hdac price.

I dont think pumapay raised 117 million USD , i think it was Fake collected INFO so people would contribute . Thats how many of ICO's novadays work . They show ICO contribution bar almost half so people will think they are kinda good project if people contribute . Take in mind projects who are honest always have contract adress and contribution adress public . The ones who are not always say they have seperate adresses for each contribution lol . Thats kinda red flag for me

I agree with you, it is very dissapointing and discouraging that our investments in even good projects is sinking, to add to your list i will name omx, swissborg, atl, amn and many more, lets hope market will reverse soon and give the real value of all these tokens soon.

All this looks like a situation where people do not understand what the matter is and what BTC is and how it affects the rest of the cryptocurrency world, I think that this is clearly a matter of BTC and the situation when a person does not understand is very sad.

:)) even good project with many stars adv still can fall like centra project. everything down to 0 after 1 night

I guess it has become a tradition when someone got a token from a bounty campaign they will sell the token directly, and this possibility was followed by the ICO investor project to sold the token he has. And the impact is that the token price will decrease because many bag hodler sold the token. Or another possibility, the project developer has been satisfied with the target he achieved so as another project that he had to fix was delayed.

Market prices are the balance between buyers and sellers. With the fall of BTC, the general interest in the crypto market is falling. This means fewer buyers.
Now bitcoin does not fall, but does not grow after the fall. Very few people study crypto projects. Only large players buy, but do not increase the price (accumulation). Thus, there is no reason for growth, and there are reasons for falling.

Most likely, the demand for coins falls, but in order to sell and get something, people place orders all reducing the price. That's the price and collapsed. Plus, the price depends on bitcoin and ethereum, which are very low in price.

the price of a coin of any size if the condition of the cryptocurrency market is in a bad position it will only make a loss and drop, so the price of ico dropped now is only based on unfriendly market conditions.

I think this is the part of the game and most investors also know this, their price will surely come up if the team is sincere with the project and works towards achieving their milestone as lay down in their roadmap .

HDAC Project and their work plan were really good, you are right that Bitcoin price was sky high when HDAC ICO was running. But what about Pumapay or Cryptosolartech? They finished tokensale about 2 Months ago. Pumapay Raised 117 Million USD but their trading volume less than 2 Million! I know we are passing the bad time, but These big project's coins price are being ridiculously low! Where Localcoinswap, Docademic coins price is very stable and their ICO wasn't a big success!

Because investors come and go, take short profit and move to another ICO.
Too many new ICO is affected to old peoject who has developing, if there's nothing interesting anymore, people will move to the new project and so on.

I think the current market is falling sharply for all the successful ico is very difficult. But do not worry if the coin has the potential and the team grows strong, I think it will be successful.

Firstly, the main reason why big successful ICO coins are sinking are the market blood bath and which happened this year and it will be next year before most visitors can enjoy their investment. However, the coins ought to gain some slightly increase in price sometime and if such case is not happening then strategy used by the team is not enough.

Have you ever considered what is some real usage of those coins? Most of those are nothing but some shitcoins. Also, for your info, the whole market is bearish and most of the potential crypto is losing its value. So, it's normal. Nothing to worry.

This tokens are not the only ones that are sinking in terms of price. Even btc and eth are also in a blood bath and the rest of the alt coins. Even some sucessful ICO's like Telcoin and PolicyPal are also having a massive price drop. If btc and eth have another bull run, I'm the price of all tokens and alt coins will go along with it.

many ICOs that raised big money don't develop their products or develop them too slowly and this is the reason why the price of their tokens is falling.

This is due to the fact that many companies need at least a couple of years to fully realize their product and earn the trust of many users. After that, the coins will start to grow, if, of course, the company is very promising, I found one of these companies and contributed @swachhcoin. The project will pay people for their trash. At the moment there is a 16% bonus, you can buy coins by the end of October. I advise you to see the project.

You all know that now the price of all coins has fallen. If you say that the listed projects are scam, then the entire first sheet of coinmarketcap is also scam? And all the other coins too?! Now such a market, such a conjuncture. It just needs to be accepted.

Almost all mentioned coins have value equivalent as Ethereum. As you can see at the graph it has been dumped dramatically as whole crypto market.

I am worried because of their trading volume. Can't you think a 117 Million Raised Coin's has less than 2 Million trading Volume? Isn't it bad? I know we are now in bad condition of the crypto market, every day I am saying it to others. But These project hasn't enough volume, people are not interested to buy these coin. HDAC, PMA, BKX was big hit ICO, but have you seen anyone to talk about these coin in this forum?

Because people think the hype will bring them 3x 5x just in seconds. But if it doesn't happen (like bear markets right now) they starts to sell and it is causing price to sink. The problem is overexpactations caused by the past.

This happened because many traders do not know how to deal with coins in a crisis time. Many sell good coins, because they have no choice, many have already suffered great losses. the market is losing investors, everything is very bad in the cryptocurrency market this year.. :-[

This is what happens most of the time. It seems to be more natural with most coins. People who invested during the ICO would leave the project and sell his/her coins if he sees it not so profitable. People will only buy the coin if it would seem to be moving. Sometimes I would think this is not the reason why we should buy their coins. Their white paper suggested the main idea but people just use it to get profit by trading it. And in this situation the real purpose of the project is somewhat defeated. People are so eager to earn money as this is somehow the reason why most participated but if this is the only reason why the ICO is continuing it will certainly drop in value. Unlike when it is used for real the coins will be moving as it should be.

Prices for ICO coins fall due to the lack of demand for products of ICO projects. There is no interest from traders to buy coins because of its value. Coins just for good luck thrown on the stock exchange and the developers are just watching how the coin sinks in the center of the lake and no one can help the drowning coins.

The buyback is a great option to resolve this problem. But The Team is don't care about the price, they are working on the platform. Every time when I ask about the price reduction they replied about updating product task. But By seeing their trading volume it is proved that People are not interested in these big hit coins.

Probably the most important reason why this happens is because developers don't really care about that coin anymore and they don't put much effort in to make it better and promote it further so that their project doesn't expand anymore. Thats what happens with a lot of ICOs because more than 90% of them are created just to raise free money from investors and their actual purpose is not to create a new revolutionary project that would help the world.
Another reasons why the price of ICO coins are going down could be because all the market is currently moving down and its almost impossible to move something in one direction when everything else move against it. So every coin follows the current market trend and moves down.

There can be many reasons of the  coin price declining of successful ICOs . One of the reasons can be the market situation, the
other one is that the team is not dedicated for development and not fulfilling the promises. The next reason could be that the team
raised enough funds for having vacation on an exotic place and do not bother with the project any more.

the reason maybe the price are sinking is because the market is currently moving down and its almost impossible to move something in one direction when everything else move against it.

The reason behind is they are affected with the bear market.

I guess you have been aware that the market has been drought for several months so they are part of the ecosystem where it has been a domino effect. If you bought these coins during their ICO price then you are at loss, probably I guess. It's the bear market the reason for every coin's down now.

We all know that the world of altcoins where plagued by scam coins in the recent months. They boomed like mushrooms, crowdfunding on every idea they could get, setting up the ICO, declaring they hit the softcap in just a matter of days then finally vanishing in thin air.

There were scams one after the other that hurt the confidence rating and trust level of altcoins in general. Thus, we see a lot of investors shy away from this field. Even trading was affected too. People got fed up with scam coins that many decided to stay away from it as much as possible thus, we see lower coin capital and poor market activites too. And without movement, any altcoin is doomed.

Also project called 4new KWATT token ICO was $2 raised 45 million USD but after listing exchange now price is $0.03, I don't know why its so ridiculous?

The ICO projects are ruining the cryptocurrency world. Please don't take me wrong there are some great ICO projects there are doing smth for the whole blockchain ecosystem but other ico's are just shit projects with nothing to offer, but a quick way for the team to have a lot of money

Well the whole market is downfalling, and hopefully all the altcoins will recover eventually

It's the market current condition, this is one of the risks of investing on ICO if you an investor and you are late to sell chances are you are going to miss the big pump at the start of the trading, this is  one of the reason why investors opted to buy the token when it hit the market because it's safer and profitable.

Project huge winning in ICO doesn't suggest it's should return capitalist 10x profit come back once 1st listed on exchange, I've be part of some ICO project that raised over 20M, once few month worth do not offer ME 10x profit , it's work out 10x ICO worth currently, I've no plan what's the rationale, perhaps value still below correction?

The coins that you mentioned above have very cheap prices on the market. May be this happens because the market is currently unstable.

The market is going through a price decline. Fear of SCAMs is also not helping the situation. As a result, the price of some big ICO coins are sinking.

In fact, at present, payments for bounty participants are often postponed as long as possible, so the only one who is blamed is investors because many investors rush to sell them to get the money back, they sometime also look impatient than bounty hunters. Even though that is their right, but it looks sad.

Maybe it's because the trader who makes the price of the coin falls or cause follow some crypto currencies like the bitcoin price. It's better to think positively than to do things we don't need to do.

When a project has no practical model of growing their target market or user base, this is what happens. They focused their energy on ICO and raising funds, now that they have the funds project is stagnant. ICOs should fine-tune their ideas to be realistic with clarity. I like Mfchain's business model, which is more realistic in this case. ICOs must focus on developing and shaping their business ideas to fit in to practical everyday life.

Because there are so many scams. They have lost investor confidence. Very few successful ICOs, mostly just promises illusory.

I think that any project needs buyers who buy this coin on the exchange after ICO, this is a speculative market, and if there are no buyers, then the price falls.

they shouldnt rely too much on public for the funding.

At present, many large and successful ICO projects are affected by the depressed market conditions. I have not seen which project token prices can rise in the bear market.

I definitely agree with what you said because there bunc of ICO project out which are copy cat, do have the right utility/concept to survive the cryptocurrency market while some don't have the genuine features to offer the cryptocurrency spheres.

Because this is now the trend of the market, for 10 months the market is based on bearish, and many investors withdrew their money, and now ISO is collecting money, manipulators are immediately connected in order to lower the tokens by 5-10 times,and buy them at a lower price, that's because of this, too

This is because of over prices in ICOs and the project team also may dumped their coins for profits at early stages when their coin listed on exchanges.And moreover not all the projects who raised more than millions in few hours after their ICO sales begin were not successful this might happened because of their high advertisement strategy which attracts the investors early even their project is not worth to invest.

This is the importance of seeing the team behind the ICO project before deciding to invest in it. No matter how successful or blazing the ICO project was at first, in my opinion the most important is the team that continues to develop the project. As you said, trading volume is very low and prices are very low compared to ICO prices. That is why, keeping up with well-known crypto trends and currencies like bitcoin and ethereum.

Big successful ICO coin prices are sinking, and there are some reasons for it. First of all the market of crypto is not very stable. And also it is prompted to remember that even though a coin might have a great ICO run still it may loose its value.

In this case, it is necessary to monitor the project itself. If he continues to evolve and work on the product, then the price of his coin will still rise. Most likely this situation was due to the low market.

The market being bearish, this is really a delicate situations for ICOs. Also a lot of scams hurt a lot so probably people are not buying them so easily. It's just a mere speculation.

Perhaps these projects were not as good as it seemed at first glance. In any case, it is necessary to look at the work of the team. After all, if there was no news about the project for a long time, people just lose interest in it. But I think we should wait for the market to recover. Then we can see what the coin is.

Some projects are good on paper but they don't have the right or qualified team to bring what's in the whitepaper to reality

Bear market is hitting everyone. So when investor put 1eth that was 500$ in for example cryptosolartech and when coin get listed on exchange eth fall to 220$, what else can you expect than panic selling? And he expected 10x gains!

There are several reasons: the market is in decline, the projects is not developing, just fraud. Perhaps after the recovery of the market some coins will rise in price.

We are in a red market, and the majority of the coins are in red not only all the coins that you mention, if we step in the bull period and the coins you mentioned are still in red then there is something wrong with those coins and they are not getting enough support to take off.

No, mate. They are not scamming. They are doing well and updating their products and community! But I don't know why people are not interested to buy these tokens. I forgot to mention Bankera Coin too. That was also a big successful project! But their price is also dumped! So, what can be the reason behind it, I am looking for it. I searched on google but that answer wasn't good.

The market being unstable may be the reason behind it.Also there are a lot of scams that make the people scared in investing them.

Yes, now the prices of all the coins are very low and are sold at a much lower price than the ICO, no matter what project it is, how it develops, what positive news is around it. It all depends on market conditions, the price of Bitcoin, investor sentiment, and many also attribute such investor passivity to the SEC’s decision on Bitcoin ETF.

I think there are many questions than need answers to this year, because for me some team would claim they were able to raise such huge amount of money but later found out that they did not raise that much but because of their gread they decided to continue with the project, also we investors need to ask ourselves question are we investors or gamblers. It is not the fault of the team if one of the investors decided to sell some he/she bought for $1 at $0.01. Ridiculous valuation to me cause all these mess we are now but we can not change the past but the future

It's maybe a testing grounds for those promising projects not only for the team but also for the community who give them the chance to start the project, we seen a lots of those project inside the market who are falling and seems to be dumped hugely, are they already scam? only investors and supports can answer this as we do have our own opinions about this matter, we should be responsible in any act that we made inside the market.

This can only explain one reason, even if their ICO is successful, but their products are not getting everyone's needs, everyone just wants to invest in it to get the difference, and no one is going to use its products!

This is the saddest part in investing crypto with those highly potential project can not sustain the volatility in the crypto market. Then how much more those project that just reached the soft cap? I think the developers should take action to protect the money from their investors and if this will continue those investors will not invest again in any ICO.

When panic is not important to anyone what is behind the project, the crowd merges everything and they don’t care. In the market they earn only 3-9%

That is also what i've been thinking so far, looking on many project that reach their hardcap, but when it get listed in the market, the price of those coins decreased significantly, i'm curious if that related with the bonus that we got if we purchase the coins early where we get more coins from the regular purchase.

currently the market situation is too bad to open a good trade especially in its growth. so, the option is in the next year. if you believe the tokens you have will increase you should hold. because the current market situation is very out of control

Of all the coins you listed, I am familiar with the PumaPay project.I also bought their coins but they are still traded at a very low price.I tried to find out the reason in the telegram groups but there I was told that the team has nothing to do with the price of the coin.Allegedly, the price is formed by the users themselves.I think that the volumes and the price will rise when their product starts to be massively used. Now the number of downloads of their application on Google Play is 1000. So what about the price increase is worth thinking about.A similar situation is likely with other projects that you have listed.We need to wait for demand and observe the road map.

At this time because of the bear trend all ICO coin dump after its token sale. An other reason is the private investor and bounty hunter sell the token in low price. If the project is good, the token price will soon get recover after dumping.

Yes, the team had nothing to do with it the price devalued of the project and the best is too study the road map to know the time when the demand will rise which is why I think it better to invest into projects that have huge community support.

That's just the market cycle we're in right now, people lost trust after seeing their favorite projects drop by 90%, now they trust ico's even less

Always expect a huge drop in price after ICO phase. Many earlier investors would want to recover their capital the soonest time possible so they would sell. I have not seen a project that sustains its ICO price during the development phase.

Reached soft cap or hard cap doesn't mean the project is successful. I don't think those you mentioned projects are really good. Most ICOs are cheating soft cap, hard cap to get more investors. With this market condition, no one going to buy an ICO token from exchanges without any good reason. Because there are a lot of top coins and tokens in the coinmarketcap. Most people invest ICO to get a quick profit. Then do your own research about that project to invest their ICO or buy that token from exchanges.

Amen to that!

I will tell you what's really ridiculous. The people that invest into a project which was sold at $2 at ICO price those who acted ridiculously because at least 20% of project ICO price will reduce once the project get listed on an exchanges site before the project gain back and of which that depend on the strategy planned by the team.

There are many people who are speculators. They are not investors. They just want to make money instead of supporting projects. There are many such people and they are not willing to take risks.

The reason behind it is obvious, it can make money. This is a typical scam. All investors were deceived and they could do nothing, and the project received $117 million. If I am such a team member, I will only feel extremely excited.

The decline in most of the successful ICOs is blamed on the poor performance of the whole cryptocurrency. The whole market is so down this year, even the most recognize bitcoin has fallen more than 50% of its price. This is the evidence that ICOs where also dragged down together.

I think that this is currently happening because of the recent downtrend in prices of coins in the market. It is a general thing, so it is sort of normal to see these ICO coins suffering too. I guess that in a more favorable market condition, they would do better. WE might just have to give them a little more time.

Pumapay has a lot of analogues and, in addition, need in ETH and BTC payments is much lower than it was intended to be. Teams hoped that market will be on rise forever and they have no plan for hard times.

Come on mate let's think it in a positive attitude as the market will gear up in few days. I agree with you that there's no stability in the market but I believe it will recover slowly as the last quarter has started. Believe in crypocurrencies.

Because the market is dropping. In additon, most of these project were depending on ETH or BTC and now, when they are not facing the best time, need in these project falls down too.

Now is a very difficult time for the entire cryptocurrency world, so I think that now probably any project can fail miserably, since time is clearly not in favor of cryptocurrency. Investors are now in a panic.

Because we are in the season of falling.
The bear market is not healthy for token price.
But we should see it like grabbing more.
If they sink they will definitely be up in the future.

During the ICOs era a lot of people bought tokens to hodl them and not to use in the projects, which appear after the ICO. Now, when price is droping, they usually sell their tokens. It is very simple.

Demand for these projects is low. When they attract a lot of money, it does not mean that they will provide end users with demanded project, so the price is just decreasing and nobody to stop it.

This is partly true, some were just a mere manipulation by whales.  Those who have lots of token and huge fund can control the price of a token.  Aside from that, another reason is poor marketing and advertisement.  People will never know the development of the project unless they have dedicated people to advertise them.  As much as they allocate budget for development, they should also give a good budget for marketing and advertisement since this area will be the one to bring new users/clients to the project.

In my opinion, this is due to the fact that bitcoin price dominates. The price of Bitcoin is falling and this applies both to existing coins and tokens, as well as to those that are created. Unfortunately, the market is not yet mature and the cryptocurrency does not yet have its own independent pricing. This effect of falling prices for the entire cryptocurrency can cease only if Bitcoin loses its advantage in a relatively large level of capitalization.

Are you sure, because I now know that EOS is one of the most expensive ICO calls in all ICOs, and its value does not drop after being listed on the exchange.

I acknowledge that the crypto market is passing a very bad time. All the coins are below the price. But in comparison, these large succeed coins are far below the level. And their project progress and updates are not worthy. After raising a huge amount of money why they stop making something big or why their price is the lowest level and why their trading volume way too low!

This is the reality of such a volatile market and a bearish trend on it. investors have suffered huge losses and it seems to me that the majority of them will not be seen on the market

Probably because they was doing ICO when BTC was at 19k-10k range and after going to exchanges market is still bleeding . But as i see there is few tokens/coins that is going other way if you take a look at coinmarketcap . Example like Digitex Futures .

Because ICO could be successful just because of marketing campaign. In the same time, real demand for solution is low, so price will be low too.

You're right.  After all, there are really a lot of projects that have collected a lot of money at ICO now really bargaining very cheaply!

The reason is that the market is under the control of bears, the market is practically not volatile, the price of bitcoin is not growing, respectively, as the price of other coins can grow?This fact is really disappointing, but we need to wait for the market to recover and not sell our coins when prices are low.

well indeed there are so many successful projects and after openmarket it turns out to be far below ico, besides the unstable prices of BTC and ETH they are also affected by the issue and dev performance

Most of people who are interested of project do their best to get tokens during ICO, so they do not care about buying them on exchanges.

When 50% of tokens is sold and there is more that 3 weeks till end of ICO, people, who want to sell tokens right after hitting exchanges, buy them. It means that ICO demand does not match real demand.

Bounty campaigns and bonuses. If I bough tokens with 50% bonus, I can sell it 20% cheaper than market price and still remain profitable. That is the point.

Demand for the tokens is low. It may take up to two years for demand to start growing, so you need to be sure that you have been waiting long enough.

At some point, the market just became oversaturated with ICO projects, investors were disappointed because there are many projects, it is difficult to choose the best ones. As a result, we can say that the fall in prices also had a negative impact on the situation. As a result, many ICO even stopped reaching the SoftCap mark.

There is no use and mass implementation of projects. People are now afraid to invest in a crypt, but believe as soon as growth begins, it is these projects that very quickly restore their value.

maybe because they failed in development so as to reduce the interest of traders or maybe because indeed market is currently experiencing very drastic decline in prices ..., especially ETH which affects the price of these coins

Is you that conclude they are big,  the last bull run cause alot of damage to investors, ridiculous valuation is the number one, because a project that only need $1 to $2 million asking for $50 million and the good thing about market is that it is very intelligent to know the true value of a project, it is what they worth that the market valued them

All crypto market has down after killer bearish condition. People get stressed and sell their coins in lower prize. I think it is not for everyone to see their hard earned money goes down -%10 everyday.

It is down to poor marketing practise. I have not heard of these Pumapay, HDAC, Cryptosolartech, Bankex other than a small mention here and there. They only do promotional work during the ICO phase, but after that it all goes pear shaped

Most coins/project depends on Bitcoin and Ethereum.
When these two prices drop, it affects other crypto coins as well

Well it's market decision and mind you that most of the ICO that raised huge money are from private investors and the money they raised is to build the project, so if much marketing is done much people won't know about the coin, remember the space is yet fully matured, most of the volumes comes through trading and from platform use utility

Even the coin raised a huge amount of money, it doesn't have a bearing on the current price on the market. It's all about supply and demand but for crypto, it also depends on the price of main coins like Ethereum and Bitcoin. If both of them falls down, so as other coins as they are dependent on it. We all know that alts doesn't have the ability to be converted to fiat and it relys on another altcoin to do that. You know what I mean.

   It`s not easy to look at that, but some of us save those coins despite this hard drop in prices. I think one day this market will grow a lot more
than ever before. Before everything this is a technology that will be adopted worldwide one day. This fluctuations are just reflections of actions
inside crypto-community, which is small compared with entire world population.
   Many more people needs to get interested in crypto-currencies, when that happen, and I believe it will, prices will go to the moon as some early
adopters used to say.

Bitcoin is down ethereum is down and most of this ICOs are base on bitcoin and ethereum so it will definitely affect them, possibly not too strong ICO will fall totally

It is simple, almost all of these projects collected money when there was a big bull run and after this market began to drop down and many projects fell 10-20 times, these projects fell too, for example HDAC collected 320kk in the previous december, it was a big hype in crypto, people invested in everything, nowadays HDAC wouldn't be able to collect even 20kk, if we imagine that Hdac is traded nowadays by ICO price and its capitalization is more than 320kk, it must be on top20 coinmarketcap, it is too much for this project. This isn't HDAC's problem that people invested in december-january without thinking that 320kk is too much for this project and it is hard to wait profit from this project, than more hardcap than more probably ICO will be trading below ICO price because everyone who wants to buy their tokens could do it during the ICO, and when token lists on exchange noone need it.

You already know the answer to that but you do not want to admit it, the market is not giving profits to almost anyone, even if those projects were any good the circumstances in the market are terrible and almost no coin is going up after it enters the market, the only thing that you can do if you are invested in those projects is to wait for the market to recover.

because pre-sale participants get very cheap prices. people who buy from the public sale are costly and they suffer damage. Purchasers from pre-sale are not locked in coins. therefore they are selling immediately.

This fault sometimes, might not come from the projects itself, but the market situation which determines the price, alongside other factors can bring about this effect. I have seen quite a number of them dumped. Even if the project team decides to do a buyback, there is little to how far that can go,because after the whole buyback, the price might dump again. So organic growth most times is the best.

Because everybody is waiting for the next bull run. At the moment every investor is holding, because it is very risky to buy the coins at the moment, because nobody knows what will happen in the next days.

They are sinking because the price of the tokens are tied with base altcoin which is ETH, NEO, EOS and ones the price of those base digital currency start falling then they will also go down. This is exactly what is happening now. Dont forget this token have ones also rise even above the ICO price before that was when the ETH price rise to around 600. I can remember vividly the AION that I participated in their Bounty. Despite the massive dump during the listing, the coin recovered and rise more than 3x of the ico price but today the coin has fallen less than 500% of initial price.

Because the market is also bleeding and the investors are converting their tokens into BTC or Fiat,
That is the real reason why it is dropping don't blame the bounty hunters because they just hold a small portion of the whole supply.

As soon as the level of trading volume falls, then immediately after it the price flies down. Because it is an indicator of distrust to the coin and not a desire to trade it. Unfortunately, the bearish mood on the market has turned many good coins into useless candy wrappers.

Nothing to deny that this is the impact of dip market,investors are afraid of their money so they have dumped their coins for safeties of their hard earned money
and even how we trusted the project we cant deny the fact that we don’t want to lose as big on our part when we can pevent this from happening this is a investors instinct

This is all because of the market fall, all crypto and even the successful ICOs are also falling, I think it's true that all altcoins is just rely on bitcoin price.

This is not happening in particular coins but all coins of the market as market sentiment is weak and effect of that is showing clearly. Even BTC price is also sinking and all coins follow the base currency of this market and when BTC start rising then market also start to going with that trend.

Maybe some team behind projects dumping coins silently ? or some very early investors with big 200-300% discounts dumped all
coins...

I'm also confused about this. like there is something strange when ico they have very many investors. but when their coins are listed on the market, they are like losing investors in an instant.

its not hard for them to slip in to the market during bull run... it might look similar to other coin. when the market start to bear, the immediately dump their coin and leave the market. there quite a lot developer do the same.

This is the sad state of the cryptocurrency, and this is one of the main reason why ICO right now are having a hard time reaching even their softcap, and there are so many failed ICO and not to mention scam ICO flooding the market and people are asking if there is hope in the market well things will come to pass and we will see only legit project coming up.

It is all a matter of backing the crypto price with real life used value my friend.
Meaning, if there is no way to back the price of a digital asset with a real stable material value, then how can we expect the price to stay the same?!!

Take a look into Gigzi project, (suppose everything going well), there is a small chance the token price will go down, as it is backed by precious metals price. Price of 1 Token = Price of 1 Gram of Gold.. I think this can relieve the volatility issue in crypto..

The only reason is that early investors tried to sell their purchased tokens during dump, in order to recover their investments, this is one of the primary goal of investing, to recover first the capital invested and after they sold their holdings, they dont mind anymore what would happen to the project, this is the reality of ICO nowdays, but i hope that we shall support those projects that are good.

Bounty hunters never wait, so they sell all the tokens just after reaching the exchanges. Since they all got tokens for free, nobody cares about the price.

The market is generally bad so it is really difficult to identify the coins that are really dying and those that are under the influence of the near market. But those coins with strong foundation and solid projects will still survive this bear market

Because of huge bonuses on presale and other early stages. I mean that most of teams have very bad plan for the market entrance and investors do not get it.

The general sinking market situation is a big threat to all the coins even the so called successful ones are being threatened and majority of them will never recover as investors have abandoned them. It may take another couple of years for market to grow past where it had been late last year

It's true , nowadays many strong and successful projects are catastrophically lost in capitalization. The market is absolutely bearish and investors are trying to save their money by selling assets, but projects suffer from this and may lose the opportunity to develop, because they simply will not have money. I hope the situation will become better soon, otherwise many good projects may be closed due to lack of funding.

There are also more big ICOs project that have real problems like SirinLabs, Envion ot TheKey.
I thought that I am holding a lot of promising projects, but looking at my portfolio now makes me really sad.

Kinda true, they just know selling their coin at low price in the early stage without thinking about the consequences waiting in the future.
The dumping after ICO phase finished is very common and only really few could survive this phase and regain its price back.

I strongly do not agree with you. Also Ethereum and Bitcoin price dropped a lot this year, could we say that these coins are scam? Probably not. When Amazon stocks crashed, it was a scam? Probably not.
Price drop doesnt mean scam. Dead project, without progress, updates could be considered as a scam.

Many ICO projects have been successful, but prices have fallen sharply after the ICO can name some projects such as GoNetwork, Shivom, etc. Not all successful projects are profitable, I think. Those projects have a lower capitalization and the quality is better here I'm paying attention to the IPSX project.

Fall, because no one is insured. Many projects do not stand the fall of the top coins.
Bitcoin pulls everyone along. It is much better to wait and make a profit.
Drawdown is temporary. The team is also interested in the growth of the coin and the investors were satisfied.

I participated in hdac bounty and until now, my coins are still in my wallet. I have just little above 100 units, you should know what the price is. I decided to keep the coins there, because selling now does not amount to anything worthwhile. There are so many projects like that.

The current situation of the market is a major reason why the prices of good coins are going down more and more on daily basis.

One of the most important elements is the project needs to have a very big community who willing to support the project.

I think its because bearish market. Most token and coin right now drop the price and i think its followed by successfull ICOs. Most crypto investor right now suffering loss and their portfolio decrease

I think the market is kinda connected the main cryptocurrency that somehow dictates the price of other altcoins. The solution to the price sinking is expanding the holdings of every cryptospace user and buying more despite of the bear market.

Not really, I guess every coin in the market is experiencing a rough time at the moment. And it is through too much selling in the market by the hodlers and bounty hunters that can really affect the price to sink.

most ICOs offer good concepts that are printed on the whitepaper and roadmap, but after the ICO is finished everything goes not as promised so the project doesn't develop and no community uses their ICO coins, so cheap price coins then die. I think this coin price depends on the project team itself in seriously developing their platform or just wanting money from raising funds.

I think if we can see a hardware product which is tangible not just a virtual product, we can justify the project, but if that case is happening, the fund is way too much compared to the market cap!

before the market coin falls, this kind of thing also happens. some successful ico coins are also not very good at exchanging. because indeed different successes at ico are not necessarily successful in exchange. the ability of the community to develop the platform and maintain the price is very important if you don't want the price of the token to fall.

Not only ICO tokens that have experience a significant decline, even some of the best altcoins like XRP, NXT, WAVES, ETH also experience the same thing, so don't ever judge them from one side. If you see history in the previous year, almost all crypto prices have always experienced a significant decline at the end of the year but the price always recovery after the next year is even higher. So do not worry about the current market conditions, just continue to hold and forget them for the next few years.

The reason is that the price of BTC falls, and behind it all the other BTC fall. What a strong team they would not have, now the crypto world is going through a bad time.

I don't see that as a threat or bad news ,we all know that the situation of market price presently is enough to make all good projects lose value in price ,if I were you I will definitely buy more at that lower price because they will all recover sooner or later

Because bitcoin, once the price of bitcoin falls, it will face many problems, and the entire cryptocurrency market will depreciate sharply. Perhaps this is a scam, and the fierce rise at the beginning was accompanied by a drastic decline.

several factors affect this. the condition of the crypto is indeed being bad enough gave a big impact to all ICO is not just on that alone. In addition, the performance of the developer team should also be highlighted because it has had an important role in this regard. may be due to several reasons that many coins are indeed quite the fall time of entry in the market.

The drop in the token price of the ICO project was also caused by panic sales in the market, because ICO buyers are afraid to hold tokens and suffer losses, so most people choose to sell!

There are many large ICO projects that experience very low price reductions. This is because the crypto-coin market has declined especially for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin and Ethereum are powerful coins and popular coins. If two coins fall will definitely affect all Altcoin including ICO coins.

No matter how much they have rised if there is no working product then its normal token price are going down there could be other reasons too for example project team working hard and real belivers keep their tokens or as we have seen with many ICO es investors who had bought tokens on 60-70% discout dump it.

Too much money left crypto this 2018. We don't know when that money will come back and awaken the bull market.
If 2018 is a downward spiral, 2019 might be a long sideways market, hopefully 2020 will be good and these projects, if they are still alive by then, will re-awaken.

It is inevitable for icos to lose value because we are in the bull market. As long as the market cannot recover, it seems very difficult for the icos to reach the true value.

Usage really matters, if there's no actual use coming from any successful ico's time will come and the pumpers will stop doing their job, nothing special will happen and the price will surely be dumped, we seen a lots of project are now felt the pressure coming from the bearish market, when bitcoin fell most of the holders sell out and leave the project.

it's because of the bear market you know people are afraid to lose their money so they withdraw it that's why the price is decreasing, but I'm surprise the price of cryptosolartech still stable even this bad condition of the market.

Even if they are very successful at first they are also now affected by the fall of bitcoin, but when the time bitcoin will rise i'm also sure that thus successful crypto will also rise from the dip but this is all just an speculations and no one really know when it happen.

There are good coins that are currently trading below the ICO price. When such thing happens, you do nit need to worry yourself, just try to be patient, until it recovers. You can even buy more while the price is low.

Not all ICO were sinking it is always on the demand from the people and the project development.
Let us not look always on the USD value in the market as we are on ATLS/BTC or ALTS/ETH.
Price might be falling due to BTC fall. it connects on the USD value of most alts.

There are more things to considered in terms of decline market. Whales are the number one assumption about the drops of price. Less demands is the number two, and the unseasonal crypto pump is not on the air. But someday it will hit the moon again not in dramatic way but could be fast as long as it can.

This is just happened in the nature of this business pricing are always fall it varrys the price of cryptocurrency in the market thats why its like a chain it connects to other services all got affected even the strongest money in the world like usd was hit, it depends the value of world market so lets just wait when it recovers lets add patience for this...

Do you think we know the answer to this? General situation in the markets. Work on the project is necessary after tokens entered the market. The situation is complicated. Large currencies can not keep growth. Also bitcoin pressure on the entire market.

Because even coins from the top 10 fall in price. What do you want from these immature coins.

I think any investor who wants to really make a big profit should not have deal with projects created by very large and well-known companies. At best, this can guarantee that the project will not be a complete fraud, but as a rule such projects do not provide a significant increase in the price for their tokens. The best projects with very high investment attractiveness are - projects with small capitalization.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why all altcoins are worthless on the market today and most coins fall too deep really hard to be able to increase again, but all of that will be reversed if there is positive news so people will like it again.

but isn't there many altcoins that can still survive even though bitcoin is falling. rasta - the project's average income is much smaller than HDAC projects, pumapay or others. so in my opinion it's not because the price of bitcoin is falling.

so IMO.. the reason is investor interest in their tokens.

it's the market in general, everything is affected

The recent market crash has caused a lot of major holders to withdraw there positions which has resulted in a lack of liquidity plus add to that more scrutiny of ICO's by regulators and you have a decline in value

This isn't entirely a bad thing though as it makes some projects that can develop future potential a good value buy at present!

because the majority cryptos price are sinking...

currently the success it is not a guarantee that the price will surely be great. many of the great ICO though it has the concept of good upon falling in price in the market. This is certainly due to the condition of the crypto also falling quite deep. Maybe when the hope that price is good then wait in a few more years.

I agree, Thank you for sharing

I believe that is because every coins still following the trends of bitcoins. When ever bitcoin dropping another coins following and if bitcoin rise, then the altcoin will also follow to rise.

ICO price is just the price set by the business itself. Their market and bonus levels will greatly affect their actual prices. If they have a high bonus, it shows that the value is much lower after trading. In addition, when the price of ETH and Bitcoin downfall, the value of the token will also fall.

I don't see it as a trend towards bitcoin linkages other coins. bitcoin is potentially very large can move markets, because right now that's being damaged is the market not a bitcoin. some of the coins of their partly submerged ico could not compete and sustain their community well, therefore coins ico which many drowned.

Everything in market now is falling prices,from tokens to coins all of them are experiencing price devaluation so whats the difference from those you have mentioned?Stop making issues about this because the whole market is in dipping situations.what you must do is stop checking the prices from time to time and just let the market do its job

product rebranding is the only way, investors should also know the potential of the product range of the related project, so that later when the product is actually launched, the token is not lonely enthusiasts
therefore, rebranding is the only way,
or when bitcoin began to be adopted en masse, and cryptocurrency began to be known, the possibility of the cryptocurrency economy will improve

The coins you had mentioned above are really dominance during their ICO periods and they raised a very big amount of money during their tokensales. Most successful ICO's are being dumped in terms of their prices, i think it is maybe because after it was listed on exchange/s , the management team are lacking some time to continue develop the project or the investors/traders wants to trade newly equip project/s.

as works from developer gives with absence as with preparedness on possession to goes on attains with chance on manage to work with tasks on finance,
the use on drawing with price as notable quotes from the table of exchange has with contains on masses as works with the delivery gains on limit as developer to manage on spares as the distribution of possession on resource as the returns on beginning terms with the ico scheme of initiation.

Because Bitcoin still continues to exercise price dominance over other types of cryptocurrency. Therefore, while it falls in price, altcoins will also fall in price. And, it seems, the real fall in the price of cryptocurrency in us is still ahead. Predict that Bitcoin by February could fall to $ 2,000. Then the Altcoins will drop in price by another half from the current low prices. It will be very fun.

with the Cryptomarket decline all of the altcoins has dropped more than 90% of its all time high. So definitely a lot of ICOs would be affected. And the whole market is coupled on bitcoins price so we just have to wait that the market goes back to bull phase to see those ICO coins goes to its original price again.

A lot of factors come to play in the determination of the price of a coin after it has passed through a success ICO and listed on the market. Some projects do not focus much on the price and value of the coin after it has been listed but rather give all the attention to the development of the product. With such projects, they believe a well developed and good product can do the trick.
Some projects may also have a successful ICO yet without a finished product. With such projects, it is likely to experience a fall in price after the market listing because it is the demand of the product that will define the market price and value of the coin.

Many don't know or should I say they never study market and know what entains to trade in crypto but only in for only up and never bother to understand how its works , so if btc can loss volume and price now then why asking if some coin are losing price with volume , I think that question is more of noons question or hit and run people , just study market and know when it will likely go down and when it will likely go up.

ICO coins have sprouted like mushrooms.  There's so much supply but the demans is lesser now.. Might be a possible reason.

Right now I can see that all market is in a bad shape, so there is nothing strange about falling prices. Just note tokens that could deal with this pressure.

because money and investors leave the market and no one else wants to return to the cryptocurrency market

Why the prices  on the successful ICO coins are falling. The answer is   obvious. All holders sell their tokens and it may be every person - investors, team member, or even the exchange.

Even if Bitcoin fell so low what can we say about the fall of other coins. It is necessary to wait when the market goes up and then look at the prices.

Everything is sinking at the moment. Even the biggest coins these days are in deep dip and we can't do anything about it. The value of bitcoin has a big impact in every coins prices. I guess things will still go back to normal soon. Every investors are holding right now.

Well there is nothing that can be done right now. And its not the big ICOs or small ICOs, actually its the Bitcoin that is nosediving and that is what has caused the rest of the coins and tokens to follow the trend.

Their is a massive sell off of cryptocurrency in the market and we know that the price based on supply and demand.

I think there are several reasons
1) the Team does not work on the product and does not release any updates
2) the Product is not in demand
3) the bad state of the cryptocurrency market

I see that the main reason is the difficult market situation
Lack of volume  and BTC Dominance
Makes the prices of the rest of the currencies fall
What do you think about emerging projects ?
Even if they are strong.

Market acceptance cannot be controlled, demand and supply cannot be fully controlled. I think investing in coins or Ico tokens is a long-term investment, takes a long time interval and various strategies so that prices can reach the target. There are those that take up to 1 year or more, some also only require a few months. It depends on market conditions, in 2017 many have reached the highest target after several months of listing, the opposite occurred in 2018.

I think it's happening for only market conditions. The market is down trending everything comes to market this time it will go down. Some of them working good like holochqin or quarckcain cause they launched their coin in big exchanges first. Those who don't want to go for a big exchanges keep dropping from first trade. Market conditions change day by day. When pupapay or cryptolartech ICO ran the eth pegged at 600-700 maybe more I don't know. Now see the price of eth itself. I think it's fine and those project are not that much good in my opinion. There are lots of project maybe 10m-20m but better than this 100 mln club.

The fall in the price of Bitcoin is one of the problems so that the impact on all Altcoins has also decreased in price. So that ICO tokens also declined, even large projects also experienced the impact of the decline in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the main coin and all Altcoin are like being connected with Bitcoin.

because the whole market is now experiencing a fall and because of this, all prices are falling

The situation with the projects about which the author of the topic speaks once again gives us reason to think that investing in large projects is not always a good idea, because the larger the capitalization of the project, the harder to manage his price, and the price of such tokens will grow very slowly.

Maybe because those people who invested in ICO and once they lsited they sell their coins already and ofcoarse bounty hunters who are really sell tehir coins fastly once ththey listed to the market so that the token or coins decrease the valuvalue lower the ICO price per token. If the ICO successful they will earn more money

Personally, I think the crypt falls down and everything for all other coins also falls in price. It all depends on the king of krptovalyuty (Bitcoin) The market is not stable investors no longer want to invest their money in certain projects as there is a high probability of losing all their money. Now there is a lot of talk about why the rate of cryptocurrency is falling, some say the prohibition of advertising cryptocurrency at Google has collapsed the course of Bitcoin. Others say you need to clean the market. So it will wait and believe in a good forecast.

Because the market is falling. In addition, most of these projects depended on the ETH or The BTC, and now that they do not collide with the best time, the need for these projects is also reduced.

In my opinion, the ICO project that managed to raise a lot of funds from investors for now is difficult to see prices approaching ICO prices, I once asked the ICO project CEO who got large funds from ICO, he said that they were following the current poor market capacity, so Their project prices fall and are very cheap when in the exchange market. That is because the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum has decreased in price, and it has an impact on the ICO project.

Suppose this is the effect of bearish market condition for many months now. The domino effect starting from bitcoin to ethereum and to the rest of altcoins. The situation now is really embarrassing that sometimes regrets cannot be stop due to huge money investment in particular coin. After all of this bear market, the game is not yet game over. Bull run will be shown in the right time. Then what we should do to experience bull run? Hold your potential coins no matter what if you don't like to sell them. Wait for the right time of bull.

Exactly, because it could also go vise versa, just like the bull run that happened last year.
We cannot deny the fact that bitcoin is the most dominant cryptocurrency now as it has a huge dominance rate compared to all altcoins.

Even though the market is not good, some projects are still running their ICO and they understand that they might not raise a good amount of money but as long as they raise the soft cap, they will still pursue to continue in developing the project because this market is bound to recover.

In the era of ICO many people buy tokens to not use them, and not to use in projects, which appear after the ICO. Now, when the price falls, they usually sell their tokens. It's very simple.

The success of the ICO project we saw was just that its token was able to enter the exchange, rather than its tokens providing us with real value! So the price of these tokens still depends on purchasing power!

If an ICO has reached its level of success but is unable to maintain its consistency in achieving its next goals, then the ICO can sink. And the project cannot be explained as planned. Therefore, coins that are obtained from the ICO even though the distribution has also remained must always be monitored, if one day suddenly the ICO sinks, then the coins can be saved first.

This month is really the month bear and almost all coins are red its like valentines day in the market some ico' didnt even make it,i guess that if btc will go down every coin will go down also. I hope next year it will make a huge bull run

The market is down everywhere... some projects are less harmed than others, but in the end, almost all of them went down with BTC...
You also have to consider that these are times of selection... so some projects, even though they have collected a lot of money, might be facing problems, some people may have some scam suspicions, teams that are silent, promises that are not delivered, etc...
this means people are not believing enough to buy the deep
have you checked those projects on telegram, for example?

It's all about the bitcoin connection. Many made a profit in the rush to fix the profit in bitcoins. And Bitcoin, in turn, is changed to dollars in the hope to buy Bitcoin cheaper and then buy cheap coins. All this is growing very quickly like a snowball.

So because people are already afraid to invest in ISO and take tokens in General,as this year showed,100% of projects after ISO,as soon as they are listed on the exchange, immediately minus X5-10 instantly the price falls within a couple of days!?What the hell,paradox?or specifically someone manipulates and does that,I'm inclined to believe the latter option is correct,so people are now SCARED AND AFRAID

no matter how successful a project or an ICO can be, even if the amount of money raised can be substantially reduced the price of its tokens due to the condition of the crypto market. not ico or a project will connect the value of token or coins but rather a cryptocurrency market that depends on bitcoin.

The market for the entire cryptocurrency market will be affected by the price of the BTC.

Demand for these projects is low. When they attract a lot of money, it does not mean that they will provide the end-user demand draft, so the price is simply falling, and no one can stop him.

The actuial reason is that right now the market of the crypto currencies is down and people are facing many loses so they do not move their money from one coin to another and not even in good ICOs that is why the demand of that coins are lower. The future of it will be better.

Obviously by the fact that the overall capitalization of cryptocurrency is declining, that is, the outflow of investors.  The reasons are clear - this is a general lack of confidence in the crypto environment due to its unreliability

The answer is simple: the projects are actually NOT promising at all.
Just because they raise a lot of money during an ICO doesn't mean that it will have future success.
In the real world, only 10% of new companies and startups make it past their 2nd year.
Why would crypto be any different?

This year especially, I have yet to see any truly unique companies emerge.
They have all been copies of what's already here, claiming they can do better.
Most of these are too late to the game.
Also, with the bearish and then collapsing market, they have very little chance of succeeding.

bitcoin does have a big influence on the market and therefore it is not surprising if the market turns red because bitcoin prices fall and the market is difficult to recover because bitcoin still cannot recover so I hope that bitcoin will recover soon so the market can recover soon

In any case, we will have a good future for cryptocurrencies, but the current state of the cryptocurrency market needs to be improved. I think that many investors have turned away from cryptocurrency precisely because of falling prices and this is where I get into the first place of the big whales that manipulated the market.

If the price falls so fast after entering the exchange, then the holders do not need their coins. In this market, people try to keep their savings in bitcoin or ethereum.

There is a general crysis for every crypto coin, including biggest one like Ethereum and Bitcoin, so it's normal that every ICO is suffering, also good projects.

Yes, that's true, because almost all projects for the time being experience a great deal of concern, this is the impact that occurs because the price follows Bitcoin and Ethereum, so there is no meaning at all for the ICO project. But after Bitcoin recovered, I thought the price would return to the right track.

Has any single one of these projects got a fully functional business with good revenues and userbase? Has anybody heard of these projects outside of crypto? Would any of these projects be able to operate on Ethereum if they started needing more than a few Txs/minute? These are the questions you should be asking.

There are many reasons for this:
The first is that the whole market is slipping and there are no exceptions.
Secondly the ICOs do not really have any specific applications, most of them are just promises.
And ultimately most of the investors just want to make a profit, few people want to keep the coin long long.

I think that no matter how successful or promising an ICO is, very few will endure this brutal bear market, it is difficult for them to raise enough money, when bitcoin and ethereum are suffering, they usually suffer twice as their prices are affected when you change from their coin to btc/eth as well.

And that is the best thing in the electronic money market. In the past, I was afraid when the market went down, but now I think that when the market plummeted, my opportunity has come.

We can't pin point at what really the cause of this downfall. I have seen successful ICOs which the value of it's token remain the same or even surpasses it's ICO price but there are speculations that these were manipulated while most of the token really goes down along with bitcoin.

Pumapay have many similarities, and, moreover, the need for ETH and BTC payments are much lower than expected. The team had hoped that the market would rise forever, and they have no plans on hard times.

It is very difficult I think to maintain the price of coins in the market right now. the markets are down nearly collapsed, and it takes great trust investors crypto to build market returns.

Now the crypto market is really experiencing very difficult times. And there is a possibility that almost any project may fail. Now, many investors are panicking and frustrated. But I believe that this situation in the market creates excellent opportunities for profitable investments.

Small coins are now very difficult to survive, they may disappear completely, but those coins that can survive this time, they can then rise and live safely.

An ico that gets a huge amount of funds is very unlikely to go up in price, because in order to make huge profits that ico will need go up in price in a significant way and with the market as weak as it is now that is going to be impossible, so you only have two choices keep buying icos and be even more patient and see if that gives you profits or simply invest in other coins that are more likely to give you profits.

I believe that is because every altcoins still following the hype of Bitcoin. So anything that happen to bitcoin will most likely affecting the altcoins.
When that kind of things can't be removed, then it will still applied that way until forever.

Although an ICO has succeeded in achieving its objectives and successfully holding its campaign, if the team cannot work consistently and stable, ICO will experience a decline in performance which will result in the abandonment of the ICO process. Coins can sink at the bottom of a chasm if the team does not continue to be active in developing and marketing the technology. Keep track of the tokens that have been obtained, so you can take precautions to protect the value of your tokens.

it's not because they have reached hardcap, but indeed now market is experiencing crisis that makes all the ico coins when registered in market experiencing price declines not only new ico prices decline some tokens also experience price declines just look at how ethereum prices are now

first is market itself, crypto is not favourable like last year, and second factor is ico still not have a working product after long time, and it make investor to losing faith

Well to me that's not good for this project who raised good sum of money but go ahead to list very low on an exchange.  There are two things to this, one is tha they just did so because of the bear market and is hopping to pump it's price once market is great. The second is, they intentionally do this just to allow the price move up as the market tends to move up and I consider this unfair and tricky

Blank project can't keep its token in good price, it failed to delivery good products and/or it has too few users, and it has non economy value. That's main reason of token dump, they'r only success in drawing products in paper and success in make money, they're not successful with real products.

I just lost my trust after seeing CBC and HDAC those token price huge dump. This coin are listed on best exchange like CBC listed on bittrex. By release others supply of token price is sink.

because they are still new and cannot yet be sure to release their product, a coin is said to be good and useful when the coin can be used to enjoy services or maybe buy related products directly, if it is still under development, of course that makes double risk for investors who come when the project age is still a baby
investors now prefer certainty rather than uncertainty, so the baby project will be abandoned
the solution is, wait until the product is released, the price will rise

In my opinion, the fall in the price of ICO projects tokens is due to the fact that the cryptocurrency market is a completely new phenomenon and the main motivation to invest in ICO was to obtain very quick benefits. Indeed, in 2017 it was possible to collect several thousand percent of profit from ICO in 2-3 months. At present, the crypto market is taking on more civilized forms when profits return to investors within a few years. This situation does not suit the majority of investors accustomed to quick profits, as a result they massively leave the crypto market, withdrawing their money, which leads to a fall in prices for tokens.

For me it is the team and developers fault,
First of all they sold it in their ICO at that price why couldn't they support it or maintain the price,
They would just leave it at the market and let the market play the price,
They could at least put some orders to boost the price but they aren't doing anything.

Now the market is experiencing a long fall season. Therefore, it is logical that some projects continue to fall. But even today, if you wish, you can find really useful and successful ICOs if you carefully select a project.

I think the majority holder for this projects are just on the aim for a quick flip on the tokens when it will be on the exchange. Now, there are only few investors who are really interested on the project.

It can be attributed o the nature of the market but yet any project not offering true application can't stand this market or last in the long term . Also, the team has a role to play which is if they are working in accordance the their roadmap or not, etc

I think it's because most of them can't do better like most stated in their sales periods promising to be more great than the top coin but end up being controlled by the price of these top coin.

ICO coins are very large and have experienced success and now the price has dropped. And all this because of the decline in Bitcoin prices and we know that Bitcoin is the king of Cryptocurrency. So that when the price falls it will affect all coins to decline. And that is also caused by the Team, the Developer because they find it difficult to get investors.

That's true, they raised a lot of funds.
However, personally, I doubt that Pumapay raised $100, they can draw any figures for public and truth could be very different as some cases show.
What about COMSA, raised about $100m also and absolutely nothing was done, they are quick on getting funds and slow on doing things.

Some people are treating the current lack of interest in icos from the community as something that is impossible to explain and that is simply not the case, the explanation is really simple, people are not really interested in investing in those projects that we know are not going to become successful when everyone has been experimenting huge losses for the last year.

So, they promise a lot, and then they can’t do it, it also always surprised me that after the crash, some teams started accusing investors and bounty participants.

Unfortunately, this seems to be happening to even the most stable projects. It has to do a great deal with what is happening in the market. There is wide scale panic with major investors pulling out of projects and holders panic selling their holdings. All of these have meant that there is a major slump in prices resulting in a continuous bearish market. It doesn't look like ending any time soon but there is a great hope that, the second quarter of the year will bring positive movement.

it is sad to see a project that can raise a lot of this initial capital fund but ends with a low value and volume.
I am one of the ICO HDAC investors, and until now I still hold it back.
what I understand now is that there is no guarantee that a project will grow rapidly despite accumulating a lot of money from investors for me they are a real scam.

I also noticed this, but I think that there is an explanation for this fall. I think that everything happens because many good projects just need time to develop their product.

That is not the reason, icos and their developers have been scamming everyone with their projects and their useless coins, and investors are getting tired of it so the scammers now are getting desperate and are doing everything they can to attract more investors but it is not going to work, investors have finally realized the truth, most icos are scams and they will not support them.

At the moment, the market is in decline. I think that even the strongest projects feel the negative impact of this.

Well, I think that in this market all the coins fall , due to the fact that the market has a bearish trend, and then when the trend unfolds I think the market will unfold!

almost every coins/tokens are like that, the price must be sinking after listing on the market. their prices are below the public sale price now. most of them were dumped by bounty hunters and investors bonus.

We know that the market fell greatly last year by about 85%. Up to now, it hasn't been recovering. For the ICOs, however good the ICO is, those ICOs are greatly affected by the down market. So, the primary reason why even successful ICOs fall in prices of ther corresponding coins.

the main problem is because the market conditions are bearish for hdac, the bankex ico starts before bearish starts so because it is very influential on the price of ico but besides that they also have internal problems such as bankex that have problems with the bounty distribution that many participants get incorrect sent tokens with fantastic numbers (close to hundreds of thousands of dollars), hdac problems because their blockchain was hacked and like their tokens were also stolen it also became an addition to why the price also dropped for pumapay and cryptosolartech I didn't keep up with it

The bonus during the private sale and also the bounty is indeed enough to make the price decline quite large. it can even exceed 50% of the price of ico. and this is indeed a natural thing happening now

No one really believes in icos anymore, the people behind those icos can say whatever they want and can make all the promises they can think of but that is not going to convince people to invest in their project because they know the coin is going to fail, and when investors know from the beginning that they are going to lose money it will be impossible to make them invest.

Becouse most of ICO make big discounts for early investors so afther token goes to maket many investors dump their coin and thanks to discount they are in profit always.

I think this is all wrong for everyone who participated. starting from investors, bounty hunters and devs. they are the reason why prices fall. Bounty hunters sell too fast and investors don't want to hold tokens for too long. while developers, they do not follow the roadmap seem like disappearing after listing.

If bitcoin falls, then all other coins will also fall on the market, everyone is trying to get out of new coins and keep the fundamental coins!

the reason why the coin is now experiencing a sharp decline, because the ICO has a lot of fraud that is currently rampant so this has resulted in the market becoming so severe. yes we must be careful when choosing an ICO, because not all ICOs are good.

That's indeed. The correlation between whole of altcoins and bitcoin give a bad impact to the altcoin because it can determine its price without bitcoin. These platforms can't defend its demand and that's what will happen with the price. the demand move to the new coins.

Yeah, it really hurts to see that. There are also projects that have started very well and are now just dying in front of our eyes. It is very sad to see such strong projects closed, this market does not spare anyone. In this case, all new coins will also have a very hard time. It is unknown how many of them will be able to survive.

This past year has been bad for ICO's since the value of coins in general have been falling since Jan of 2018 and continued to decline until the end of the year.  So after an ICO, the value of coin, would likewise go down with the bear market.  To make things a bit safer:

1) Go with a coin or token, that requires people to accumulate.  For example a dividend token, this way people will be less likely to dump after the ICO.

2) Token burn.  If unsold tokens are burned after the ICO, this will decrease the supply, and will in turn help to stabilize and / or raise the coin's value.

This is one reason why I invested in EVOAI's ICO, since it meets both criteria.

The most successfull ico after hit exchanges in 2018 is always drop.
This happen because effect  of cryptocurrency market in 2018 in down trend.So, not only successfull ico, the most top 20 coins on coinmarketcap is also down.

This is now almost a norm. Most projects this day always end up been traded at far below their ICO price. The mistake is always from the team or start up the trading on listing with a very low price.

In addition to ICO projects now also began to close and the exchange, too. It's very sad, actually. I think that ICO just slowly dying. It is not known whether the situation will change after the market recovers, but it seems to me that this is unlikely.

Even the Bitcoin price is sinking now and I think every crypto coins depend on the bitcoin! But some big gainers ICO projects are acting like a scam. They don't have a major update, no development for the projects or anything. Though I have a doubt about their raising amount. ???. Last year, Online ICO made hardcap 50M USD as they reported, but i haven't seen any good updates from them and their token price and volume are now zero! I think if the market recovers well then the situation will change, not before!

The price of coins or tokens certainly follows market prices. Because the ICO Hype only occurred at the beginning of the list and in every development of the ICO coin project. And if the token utility isn't really useful then the price of the coin will drop slowly.

I think that all this is due to the General decline of the cryptocurrency market. Until the bear market ends, ICO will be doomed and this applies even to the best projects.

One main reason is that during a bear market, the market sinks in such a way that people begin to think that their coins will turn 0. In order to keep with this trend, they look for a trusted coin and exchange their coins into to prevent the loss should the coins they do not trust go to 0 and even go into extinction. Most of the coins from the successful ICOs are sinking because people are not in need of those coins but rather, they are selling their coins to either a stable coin to bear the loss or a trusted coin.

every situation I think of course there is a change, and not always will be above continuously. certainly sometimes below. we must know that change can come at any time. so what we have to do is believe that all of this is only temporary.

Now the ICO market really makes many investors panic. Even reliable cryptocurrencies are beginning to actively become cheaper. But I still believe in the huge potential of this industry. Therefore, I regularly invest money in several good coins with the potential for further development.

I think this happened because of the decline in the price of the main coin, Bitcoin. Bitcoin throughout 2018 the price continues to decline so that it affects other coins. I think if you have a coin, it's better to save it because the price will eventually return to the pump.

maybe in my opinion for now some successful ico are those who use the launchpad services from several big markets like binance and okex. no responsibility ico is finished in a matter of hours. and that's where investors believe to get a profit

some coins that have had great success with the ICO do not mean they can last long in the market.
especially if the DEV and the community do not do anything that can affect the price of the coin.

I had an experience with that situation, whatever the success of ICO in the end the effort of the team is essential thing for the further success of a coin, it is just like after sales marketing. Most of the time the after sales,the team abandoning the project because they already gain what the real purpose of creating a project.

Most ICOs are in very poor condition. After being listed, the projects cannot keep the ICO prices.
Those who are sold in exchange have nothing to do with the ICO, they are called IEO.

The market has largely broken a lot of coins, if the team continues to work on the project, the coins will grow against the background of a changing market, and if the team stops working, the coin will die.

Every coin struggles in a bear market, so a lot have struggled since the start of 2018. I would say low volumes is a good sign though - it means that most people are holding onto their coins, and the current trading price isn't really representative of the merits of the project. If a coin has an ICO that raises £10m, and then prices drop so that the marketcap is now £1m, but that is based on only a $1,000 orderbook this means the $1m valuation isn't true, it's just a very poor approximation.

According to me, it depends on the team from ico because now the market is falling and dev must consistently run the road map they have set if it is not implemented, investors will move away

just because they are succesful they dont have the chance to go down anymore ? no that is not being succesfull all about .  in order to become succesful you also need to face alot of  struggles and challenges   but  literally speaking  . here in cryptos all coins here are mostly high volatile or unstable , which means they can fluctuate too much plus there are also lots of factors that can affect the status of the coins  ( e.g manipulation  , fuds , fomo , news ,speculation  , etc  ...  )   its not new or shocking to see a coin drop or rise   .

- Exactly, success in the ICO is not a factor that can decide whether the project can last long with the market or not, this success can only be said to be a success in the first step into the crypto market, it will need to go through many more stages to confirm its position with the community. Because the crypto market is always a competitive place and needs development every day, if a project has great success in ico but they do not continue to try to develop and exploit the community, the community will abandon them, the evidence is too obvious when many projects are very popular in a short time and then disappear

I guess dumping on exchanges and the recent bearish market are responsible.. . Or they probably didn't raise that much.

It is a general situation. Even the top cryptocurrencies lost alot in value and price in the bear market .

As long as the project didn't provide a concrete plan and tries to reach milestones it will really fall continuosly, bit if even in the market condition they will try to find ways to evolve and develop tgen theres a chance that the project will increase even a bit

Yeah, the bear market is the main reason why it dump.
I did not see any project from an ICO lately that has increase its value, they all dump, and some might able to increase the value
but that is just because of hype, and that is not good for long term development, it will be dump right away.

We need to wait for the right timing, hopefully our coins will not be dead once the real bull run comes.

I think it's because of the project of the ICO is not ready yet because they are not reach the roadmap and it's normal to happen an ICO coin price decreased when it listed on exchange but when the project is reach the roadmap and the product is finished, the price of the coins will be increase so high, even above the ico price.

It's still happening, unfortunately, 90% of my portfolio is not looking good and still no idea when these coins will show value, some of these are still in development stage and some are still waiting for the market to improve before they give announcement about their updates and plan.

There are a lot of reasons. One company just wanted to make a profit in this market. Another company did not have a working product. The third did not calculate with financing. You can still call the reasons for a long time. And the most basic is the fall of the entire crypto market.

The second reason is make sense actually. If the project don't have product or still on progress then the token will be useless because you can't use the token beside trading and that's why the coin price is sinking.

Big successful ICO also needs time to develop the product.

Big Successful ICO Coins Price are sinking because of the utility of the token some of them are simply worthless and will remain worthless because there is a difference between the token and the company

Whatever the reasons listed, technically it is because the money moves from altcoins to bitcoin. This has been discussed many times.
Unfortunately, this shows the real attitude of people to cryptocurrency.

I think the trend of investment on ICO expired that's why the people don't want to take a risk again with investment on this type of new projects so it will not been mistake from anyone it will always happen when we are taking some I'm wrong decision so I think that's why the value also reduce right now for most of the new ICO projects

Most completed ICOs are not actually working to their finished product their roadmap have already gone crashing and the way it is most project potential growth have been seriously diminished and i think only a very goodluck can determine their impact or comeback again

all is not over, but investors are still waiting for the market to completely recover because the improving market situation will greatly affect ICO coins

investors are still waiting to invest because currently investing in new ICO project coins is very risky for the price to continue to decline

some people are also worried that these new coins will not be able to restore growth when the market has risen and the Bullrun trend is coming

success is not stable it will come in some situation and it will not come in this situation so when we are not stable with the success we need to do differently then only the success will reach again to us if the value of ICO are not good it will be like the trend is enough so we need to change our mindset.

That's true, we cannot deny that, and I hope that the government will fast track the regulation in ICO so eliminate the scammers.
IEO is a big help to regain the trust and confidence of the investors, and ICO might become obsolete in the long run as investors has found a platform
that gives assurances their investment will have a chance to grow.

I also don’t understand why even quite promising projects listing their coins to the crypto exchange after the ICO and their price drops sharply. For example, the Bitnautic project, tokens were sold for $1, the project collected a hard cap, but now these coins can be bought on the stock exchange for only 2 cents. I do not understand who sells coins so cheaply, if at ICO they cost $1 per coin. Perhaps it makes sense to buy coins after listing on the crypto exchange, and then store until the price returns to the prices that were during the ICO.

Most of the time ico is manipulating even when their funding is mostly unclear and also they have no transparency so that when entering the market they experience a considerable price decline

People don't trust ICOs as before; The main reason for this is that most of them are fraudulent or cannot use the collected funds in line with the project objective. There are also ICO processes to overcome this, but we haven't seen what has been successful yet.

In the crypto segment there is nothing is big rather they only claiming that they are the big own-self. Another thing is that as the crypto market is not regulated by any Govt. or the statutory body which will govern the price and ultimately put a ceiling on the trade price. So, the coin price is totally depend on the market forces. That's why the ICO whether it is big or not will be affected by the market bear and bull.

I absolutely agree with you, because in the same way I believe that it was IEO that provoked a new wave of investment and the growing popularity of cryptocurrency. The greater investment security that IEO provides attracts investors, and this is completely explainable, because now the exchange guarantees that a project that holds IEO is not a scam and their tokens immediately gain access to trading on the exchange, which is also a big plus for the project.

Wasn't cryptosolartech forced to refund the investors and crash? Anyone who bought at the exchanges basically got screwed as they couldn't get a refund. Could be a different large solar mining ICO, there were too many, none really succeeded

Most probably lost a huge chunk of their development fund in 2018 ethereum apocalypse and thus have paused development needed to drive positive news in the market and attract investors to increase volume.

Unfortunately, people do not have enough money to buy ICO projects because of their old confidence. People who have been defrauded are now much more careful when investing in ICO.

Collecting money is just the firs step, after this they must work hard and create something real. But generally they are doing nothing and then price is falling 8-10 times, it is normal for bear market.

I think that soon we will be able to be convinced of this or that development, when the cryptocurrency market will start to develop and raise the prices of the rating coins.  In any case, Bitcoin has already grown by 5% today.  I really want to hope that all the interesting new projects will also develop, along with the basic coins of the cryptocurrency market.

With the increase in coins and altcoins having a very bad effect on altcoins that have no significant development, continuing to see a less stable market has a big impact and investors are reduced

There is nothing normal about this problem and there is no correlation with the bear market, those who collect money at the beginning and then do nothing after the ICO ends, it can be said they are doing a scam project. This is the problem that investors have been worried about so far. But when they continue to work and then successfully listed on a some of exchanges, it can be a success that must be appreciated, but most of them lose investors and then there is no interest in their tokens that make the price continue to fall and are worthless.

In the era of the development of the ICO market, many investors purchased coins, but did not use them in projects. Consequently, the product itself was not used, and the price was kept only at the expense of investors. When investors started selling coins due to a falling market, prices began to fall in price actively.

You very reasonably explained the situation.  It seems that today, only a few of the old projects will remain.  I do not think that it is worth hoping for the active development of the old project and the increase in the price of their coins.

It means that it can be concluded that the main cause is the departure of investors after the token is listed on the  exchange, so that the project cannot develop because there is no strong community that supports it.

Sad to see investments falling nowadays but definitely its not the end as long as they keep on going. Its difficult that bear market is killing most start-up projects one by one, but lets accept the fact that its part of the business to tackle this type of situation and every start-up should have a back-up plan to survive the season.

The whole market is bearish and this doesn't just refer to those who are on the top of the market cap. It's only normal for an ICO to not reach it's ICO price once it hits exchange.

Just be patient, most projects that I've been to who was able to sell out all their tokens are struggling and doing their best to cope-up with the market situation. If the team is busy with project development, let them be, a project without a product is not even worth to be in the market at all.

Their products cannot be received by the public or the target of their development is still not maximal so many investors are better off taking their funds because they may also have long been held but there is no increase in the projeck

Every project has different road map, they have different time line and most investors are for short term.
So, if there's no major development yet, it's expected that no hype and less trading volume, price will sink because easily panic and sold.
But the volume is very low, it will not affect the entire project, in fact it gives a chance for investors to accumulate.

We know that at the beginning of the project was registered at a very high price exchange. But throughout 2018 all coins experienced a very sharp decline. So that these coins have decreased. And I think they don't have a solid team because now growth like Pumapay and Bankex is very slow.

due to the fact that the prices of BTC and other big crypto in the market, some of the ICO's are on the same boat as them, as this kings of cryptos' sinks and so do they.

In a lot of project telegram groups, a lot of traders only ask about that. I think it is what trader nowadays do  ;D. But i know some of them is investor too so it is naturally if they ask about their investment.

we must also take into account the fact that the majority of altcoins primarily depend on the prices of Bitcoin.  This is very noticeable on the charts of the cryptocurrency rate.  But if we are talking about tokens, then first of all developers should take care of pricing in order to increase the interest of their product in society.

They don't have a sustainable market design and investors never see any potentiality to make profits from them. As we know that investors participation is very valuable and it happens that they'll never giving trust to these coins instead, they look something new and profitable one.
The declining scenarios of this coins will means that the creator of this project never take good care of its reputation and even giving up easily which they never give support to help it out from hell.

The reasons for the fall in prices can be very much and in order to find out these reasons, you should consider each project separately. There are cases when the idea of ​​a project is good, marketing is successful and the project collects a hard cap, but the knowledge and professionalism of the team is not enough to properly implement the project and implement the plan.
