I have taken part of some ICOs and everytime their token price goes down after the ICO.. why is that so?


EDIT:
oh, nice.. that was helpful and pretty much what I was looking for.. thanks for sharing

This is a frequent problem and in most cases it concerns the interest of people who have invested or are trying to invest in a project, but if we talk about today, I think it will not be interesting, because now people are not looking at new projects.

Hey

That might be helpful for you to understand the reason behind it - http://cryptoandblockchaintalk.com/why-do-prices-drop-when-an-ico-ends-27

Take care!

It is a deep reoccurring problem which no one has been able to comprehend why
But they say investors dump or Airdroppper dumps or bounty hunters dump

Even when tokens were locked and precautions were take
It still dumped

So let’s just know what we are doing

There is a number of reasons for this.

1- The private group that is actually getting the tokens with sometimes 80% bonus.
2- The early phases bonuses that are offered by the project for the public they usually call it the pre-sale bonus then round 1 then round 2 and every stage or phase of them have different bonuses.
3- Bounty hunters selling their tokens to liquidate their rewards.

All this case the instant drop in price in most ICOs while you think -50% from original price is considered to be loos it most certainly is not loos for the for anyone who bought at 51%+ bonus so imagine 80%+ bonuses.

Yes, this is the exact reason why some projects don't do bounty programs and airdrops. It just increases the chances your token prices plummet after the ICO ends and your token goes to exchanges.

Because the pre-sale investors are dumping their tokens to the market and they are trying to get fast buck. Remember you should aware about how much bonus that has offered by the ico team to the early investors before they are doing their ICO. when the price has been touching the ico price and they will dump it because they have acquired a huge bonus.

Beside early-bird investor, most of bounty hunters and airdrop hunters dump token at low price after they get their token, it make token price dropping after ICO.

This is normal. Token prices are constantly falling. A very wrong time for an ICO investment. If you're going to invest in ICO, you have to be careful.

Also do not forget the whales.
If you are investing your money into a good project, and expecting a good result in the future because of their developement.
The whales will suppress the price because they want to accumulate it as cheap as possible.
But mostly due to bounty hunters and pre-sale,
they got a lot of coins from their bounty and their pre-sale,and it does not make any sense if they are not taking their profit from it.

This is not a perfect time for listing in exchanges, we are in bear market, it is hard for ico to maintain ico price after exchange listing. That is why price goes down after list.

It's because people invested in ICO just for short term only as they will dump once they get few profits and move to other ICO to invest and repeat their strategy. Also, the market situation can influence on the token price on the exchanges.

I suspect you are talking about more recent ICO. The ICO are raising funds mainly in BTC and ETH. Both their prices have kept falling this year which reduces the fiat capital raised by those projects. Overall we are also in a bear market where ICO are seen as especially high risk and people flee to BTC or stable coins.

If you aren't an investor you will not benefit their high prices of their ICO, because mostly what happens after their ICO is that those investors and the development team will automatically dump their tokens so that they can benefit the hype and then after the releasing of stakes those bounty hunters will just take the left over of the hype in the market.

Basically all the points mentioned above. Would like to add to point 3 Bounty Hunters & Airdrop participants.

Furthermore the later you get into an ICO the more at risk you are. So sometimes when you cannot obtain the pre-sale, phase 1, phase 2 bonus etc. Just hold out on the ICO till the token/coin is listed on an exchange. It allows you to end up buying the tokens/coins below ICO price and obtain more for the same amount of BTC/ETH.

The price drops because of the situation on the market. Because the vast majority of projects developed on the platform Ethereum, because the tokens of these projects followed the trend of the Eth...

I think the reason isThe private group that is actually getting the tokens with sometimes 80% bonus.The early phases bonuses that are offered by the project for the public they usually call it the pre-sale bonus then round 1 then round 2 and every stage or phase of them have different bonuses.

You are correct this is also the main reason behind price getting dumped as soon as the new ICO coin get listed as the ICO investment bonus when calculated the price they get cheaper so as soon as it gets listed they cashout and next dumping is done by bounty hunters who as soon as get their bounty coin they just dump in the market. The ICO which are good will always bounce back when this all dumping is finished and then the real investors start accumulating the coin and pump the coin to new high price.

This my opinion...not only bounty and Airdrop has dumped the price....investor early (presale) who buy in cheaper than other investor who join in public sale.... let's said presale price is 0.01 and public sale price is 0.05-0.1 until end...and when to exchange the price is between 0.05-0.1...the investor in presale Will Sell imediatly...cause take profit...and searching again new Ico token... So not only bounty and Airdrop but investor too take profit...cause right now Ico is in Indonesian word is buy peanuts everywhere...so there's no value about Ico than take profit....

Previously, everyone kept hold their coins. But now there are many participants in the bounty. And since the market does not behave consistently. Everyone is trying to bring at least something at a good price. And this starts the drain and the price drops.

Today, for the most part, the project is very weak. And not only the participants of the Bounty, Yes, and investors are trying to get a quick profit, with minimal losses.

Because the bounty hunters and the early buyer sell as soon the coin is listed somewhere. Since there an important volume of sales then the price goes down

At the moment, due to the crisis on the gate of cryptocurrency, almost every coin when entering the market has a price below ICO. I think if you invest in ICO, then do it for a long time, and do not expect to get a quick profit.

yes that makes sense.. but how can you prevent that?

Because once the ICO is over, many investors will dump the tokens and exchange them for more stable coins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, so after most icos are over, the price of the token will fall. Of course, the price of the token may also Will rise, which was common last year, but this year it is almost impossible.

People want to quickly sell coins they got on an airdrop. It's free money for them and they want them asap.

There are many reasons for that but the important one is the investors dumping their coins when it listed on exchanges so the prices fell much from the ICO price that is why lot of people lose their interest on ICO investment where making profits become highly impossible in 2018.But not all projects are facing this there maybe some excemption so you need to find really good project to make money.

Common and not a surprising thing that do happen when it comes to ICO investments where dumping its price lower into its ICO price and thats the risk of it and this is why i dont make any put ups into projects either the project would turn to be a scam or would dump its price to the floor when it do hits exchangers.Out 3 ICO i have participated all of them didnt give out any profits due to price dump even i did able to get in when its still on pre-sale.

in my opinion, the problem is because many new people are hoping to get a lot of profit just by investing in the ICO, it's a pity this is done simultaneously, and that's how prices can drop far below the ICO price.
on the other hand they think prices will be more difficult to rise if they are below the ICO, eventually they want or do not want them to sell even if they lose

Big players and investors are responsible for this they just want easy and quick money by buying at a huge discount at presale and dumping once exchange is activated and the ico owners just doesnt care about it once they reached the soft cap/hardcap the target funds I know there is something wrong with the current ICO system to avoid dumping big players tokens/coins must be lock for a year by smart contract also ICO regulation is a must.

very serious question ... what to do and how to find the potential project as there are so many icos every day.

Because of the huge bonuses that are bein given during early stages like private sale,where bonuses can get up to 100%,sometiems even more,and then in the end those just dump the tokens with nice profit while those that got 20% bonus keep hodling and waiting for recovery,that mostly never comes.During this bear market its best to avoid investing in any ICO.Unless you are among that group that gets 100% bonus :P

hi, I think that the price of the token is falling, because of the sale of the coins of participants of the bounty companies, they sell tokens at the lowest possible price.

Its thanks to you to provide that links, it's really giving information but, i think the cryptocurrency will be going down again but it will also has time when it bounce back again.

Many people buy altcoins not for investment purposes, but for the purpose of speculation. Because of the high interest of ICO in 2017, people have neglected the essence of ICO. The essence of ICO should be to solve the problem, not a Ponzi scheme. But now many ICOs don't solve any problems, their purpose is just to swindle money.

Price drop of newly listed token could happen as a result of my factors in cryptocurrency market. The cryptocurrency market may be bearish, people will be less enthusiastic about future of such token and they may sell for any  amount.

1. Lack of demands from the people. Some ICO is not having a good start in the market.

2. The exchanger is not a good thing to choose, as some demands are from restricted country.

3. There are some bounty participants dumping their tokens.

4. Too much airdrop from ICO.

Yes some don't do campaigns and airdrops but that is also the reason why the tokens were not sold so much because of marketing issues. In the end when tokens are on the exchange there is not much value. Unless of course they really do have a real good project with a useful token worth investing. Right now where the bear market is almost over those tokens that are being dumped are usually useless tokens.

Its dropping after ICO because there are dumpers from different side of the projects, like weakhands, weakhands only wants to make profits by dumping at the current price, because they want to get the bonus reward from the ICO at thesame time dump all coins/tokens ahead. Lessen of investors, lessen of investors maybe also a reason of droping, because there will be no volume made in the trade markets if no one wants to invest in ICO project to full/attracts investors from the outside.

probably the coin just isn't worth that much, or there could be a similar problem with it

it normal to be drop by bounty hunter or someone that didnt trust the project. sometime the project has being abandoned by team. Sometime project need time to develop their project trust and make investors to dump their coin token..

I think that's normal because of Massive Selling and Low Buy orders. Maybe from ICO participants or the Bounty Participants or just and ordinary Market Condition lots of possible causes can be pointed out. But the Platform itself has a controlling factor to make the price stable like others do. Buyback the coin/token to prevent the price to dip more.  

Immediately after the tokens are added to the listing, partners, advisers, project consultants, participants in the bounty and early investors who bought tokens at the pre-sales stage with a good discount start getting rid of them.
The price of the token begins to decline, which causes panic and leads to the fact that other investors begin to sell tokens in an attempt to save at least part of the investment. As a result, the asset price drops even more.

Most of the ICOs offer bounty and bounty hunters sell instantly after the coin/token get on exchanges. That's the initial reason. Also, ICo investors may sell if he/she gets little profit. Those are the reasons behind the price dropping.

This looks same like crypto coins when the market does down people start panicking and sell to get atleast a part of investment. There's no control in any tokens and people have get rid of it.

Everyone want good profit and ICO is the best way to earn good profits a s it is rapid but provided it should be genuine as well as trustworthy futuristic project.

The fact is that developers get profits at the expense of investors, and they are not working on the development of the project. the developers called the price of the token during the ico of the company, and that was it. But when the token goes to the stock exchange, then because of the poor demand for the project or because of the poor state of the cryptocurrency market, the price falls several times.

Today, the decline after entering the exchange is always lower than the price of a coin on the main sale, a year ago the market situation was always different, after the release the price was always high, you need to wait

I have 3 reason why the token price drop after ICO, that is :
1. Bonus given when the ICO is very large, so that it makes the price of the token go down. because people will sell the token by reducing the bonus they get, for example, the bonus is 50%, so they sell below the ICO price of 30% they still get 20% profit from the bonus.
2. After distributing tokens for bounty hunters and airdrops, they immediately sell them without making a price (sell order).
3. investors do not trust the token anymore so they decide to sell it at a low price to return their money even in a loss.

Because that token was sold over price than how much it supposed to be or just by the people who invested on that project to make short term profits only so they will sell all their tokens soon it got into an exchange which causes the demand less and supply to more which eventually causes the price to be falling.

because it is influenced by bounty hunters and investors who get big bonuses. they always sell tokens they have only for a moment's profit. in my opinion a large sales bonus sometimes backfires for the project itself. they always sell tokens obtained from sales bonuses when tokens are newly listed to the market

Because of downward trend, because of low price of ETH, because it's not a good project to invest in,....there are so many reasons for this case but I think downward trend is still the main reason which lead to this case. Beside, ICO projects often lock price of ETH at $500 or $700 and it's also affect to price of token after ICO.

The answer is obvious: the market is ruled by bears, and those coins, which haven't got into this period of the market correction, fall together with the market and BTC. The situation is worse when people sell the coin right after it enters the market - it falls much lower.

Most at time token get dump by those that got it at no cost,either the bounty hunters or investors that got it at a ridiculous discount.It is very easy to dump a token that cost you nothing.

There are many reason a token price will drop below the ICO price after the ICO
1. One of the major reason is that much people are not interested to buy because the project doesn't have much hype
2. high bonus is another reason, when an ICO offers huge bonus to their investors, when it get listed people will dump below the ICO price to sell of quick because they will still make some gains.
3. Bounty hunters are known to sell tokens at any given price, so they dump and move on
4. Some times people will create some FUD about the project which will make the investors to try to sell as soon as possible
5. whenever the community lacks the trust of the project team, they won't believe in the project anymore, they will dump the tokens to move
6. Hackers could be another reason because when they get access to people wallet, they will made away with the tokens and sell it at any price to steal the money.
7. Bear market can also make the price to go down, whenever bear market is around, everything goes down.

that's a few cause in my own opinion why the ico prices goes below the ico price

The main reason is that the majority of those buying tokens during ICO rely on the rapid growth and dumping of tokens after listing on the crypto exchange, as was the case in 2017 at the peak of the HYIP around cryptocurrencies. Very few invest in the idea behind the project and are ready to wait until the work product is presented.

One of the main reasons is found on the main page at coinmarketcap
I mean BTC Dominance
When it reach above 55%
This means that while large and strong currencies are not trusted for investors

What do you think of the new Tokens?

Yes, way too much hype. I created a yoken that is backed by profits from mining, and my early investors (from June!) are looking at 10x today. I know that there is a lot of spam and crap out there. But please look at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4627045.0 and give me a call if you want to learn more.

It seems many people says what causing the price of coin after ICO dropping, is because the bounty hunter dump their coins when it first time available in the market, but i think that would be another reason behind that.

Apart from the bounty or Airdrop hunters dump the coin,  most investors are profit oriented, no one is ready to Hodl the coin because of the products they stand to offer, any little increase in price will make people to sell off.
It's the case of who can cash out fast, and move to the next available project.


I agree with your point most investors run back to btc once it's increasing leaving the new project high and dry.


Most tokens are shit and are not worth investing in, only few actually have a good project and use case

Reducing the price of a new token after listing it on the stock exchange is a common occurrence. In most cases, it is due to the fact that early investors who bought tokens with large discounts immediately sell them on the stock exchange and have a good profit. Also partially sell their free tokens and ICO generosity campaign participants. In addition, sometimes ICO teams deliberately overestimate the cost of their tokens, and after they appear on the stock exchange, they fall in price. This year, the fall in new tokens is also affected by the fall with the long-term stagnation of the cryptocurrency market.

I think most investors have sold the tokens they bought at the ICO. especially at presale. because at the presale, the investor gets a bonus of up to 50% of the purchase. after release on the market. then dump prices. in addition, the bounty campaign participants also became part of it. help dump when the token has been released.

As per observation, there are many tokens that happen to drop right after the token sale right after being established on the exchange listing sites. One problem could either be people dumping their coins right after being rewarded from their bounties. Another observation could possibly be part of the ICO strategy to let their investors stay with their investments and not to dump their invested token to a much lesser value. Lastly, in the event after the ICO listing and the market happen to be in a down trend market, this could also affect the price value of the newly released token.My thoughts.

They are dropping because of the bounty hunters. Hunters make advertisment of the project and then take their part. And they want to convert it cash money. So they sell it.

Token prices are constantly falling. We are in bear market. It's hard for ICO to maintain ICO price after exchange listing.

It completely depends on the rate of demand. As people shws interest, the price rises. The price falls with the loss of onterest of the investors.

This is quite a possibility but if you look at what percentage of the total tokens or coins that bounty hunters are holding at any given time then you will realize that the amount can be insignificant. I am more inclined to believe that once a token/coin is already in an exchange, big investors who owned big amount of the asset are cashing out all because they understand that eventually the value is going down...and lastly the owners and developers of the projects are actually unloading their shares so they can make some profits too. I don't think blaming everything to the bounty hunters why there is a big dump in value can be fair enough as most projects are just allocating 1-3% of the total supply available for bounty promotions (and many are not even paying or increasing all tokens to the bounty especially where there is a KYC required).

When the supply in the market plus, in this case often occurs from the bounty hunter. and plus the sales factor larger then this would make the value of being fallen quite deep and even this often happens in ICO. many are pulled off their coins by quickly and this makes the price falls. because perhaps many who already have the assumption that prices always go down then it is better to sell faster than having to wait but the price did not go up.

As with any business there will be changes regarding value as there are many underlying factors that play a part in the increase and decrease of value and this is no exception.

Well obviously its because a lot of bounty hunters are immediately dumping/selling their coins massively after receiving their rewards from their respective campaigns. This can really bring a coin/tokens price down because mostly would accept any price lower as long as their coins/tokens are sold.

I do not know why this is happening, but I like the excuse of managers and developers of the project, the fact that it is all the fault of bounty hunters.

So, is it good for the ICO-s to do the bounty campaigns when their token prices plummet because of the selloff? I see a lot of bounty campaign threads here as well..

There are several reasons that make token price dropped after crowd sale is finished. Firstly due to early investors who bought tokens during a private sale, as in private sale you get more than 50% usually so these investors just take their profits after the token is listed on an exchange on the first day, they have no intention to hold for a long time these investors are usually whales.

Secondly, due to the running product, There is no running product offered by the ICO project so it doesn't attract new investors. So, as a result, there are more sell orders than buy orders.

Lastly due to bounty hunters who got tokens to promote an ICO also are the reason for a price drop as they don't care about the token price during ICO and sells less than ICO price.

Untill crypto market woun't recover, 90% of ICO will fail after exchange listing. Everyone afraids and sell coins after listing, thinking that it can be purchasing back in cheap price.

Many reasons mentioned by guys
I would like to add to it

- Market status and btc dominance
- Pricing ico may be overpriced
- Some fail  ico projects have a negative impact

It's happening when there was no a lot of support in the market after that coin being listed on the exchange site and remember the bounty hunters have made the situation even worst dude. So many people are still confusing about that but it looks so easy to understand about that.
in fact that the hype will affect the result of price and support

It is all because the bounty hunters sell their coin immediately after acquiring it from the project team since they sell it and ofcourse it was sold by the group of bounty hunters the coin price will drop.

It's just a coincidence mate because market still stagnant which is common reason why ico token price  suddenly drop as well, but don't worry keep holding because soon if the market gain enough strength to stabilize, the token price from that ico will gradually increasing again as well along with bitcoin and other alternative coins in the market just put more patience don't be hasty .

The fact that bounty hunters sell the coins they received is nothing wrong, and the price falls as there is no secondary demand for these coins after the end of the ICO, there is no product, there is no news about development, and the like.

A lot of ico tokens and coins drop in value after ico. This is probably due to the fact that right now we are in a strong red bearish market. And it is also due to the fact that 90% of ico are not solid projects, they have not solid team behind them and they lack vision. A lot of tokens are really useless, and have no working product, so it is only natural that the value will drop once they hit the market

Its actually not a new thing because some investors don't even care about what they invest in an ICO. Most of the ICO investors dump the bonuses they get during ICO and also decide to drop the tokens they bought at a very ridiculous price.

At the moment, bad time for listing tokens on the exchange , as the market is in bearish trend this contributes to reducing the price of tokens . Another reason may be participants in the bounty of the companies that received their awards and drained them for a minimum price , thereby reducing the cost of the token . And the basic fact that there are projects which are not development of the product , but simply to make manipulation of the price of the token.

after ico, everybody wait to be rich, they wanna sell in that second by 5x 10x  but some people gets them without money, from airdrop, from bounty, from presale by bonuses or just the team of the project, and they start to sell for a low price, and some advisors scare of the price and they sell too, selling decreases the price, easy!

This is due to the fact that the market is going down if the market grew as it was in winter 2017, then the prices for tokens after ICO would also be high, but when the market drops, it is very difficult to keep the price flat at ICO.

it was useful for me as well. thanks for the question and for the update

Most of the hunters will dump their rewards, and merely that's how worst ico went on after the successful launch. However, if demand continues to increase around the market it will recover as well.
We need to stay closer to that market and as a trader patience is our keys in order to achieve what dreams we had while we're still on the struggles of crypto right now. Be confident enough and don't lose your grip on crypto.

I think the reasons cannot be fathomed or predicted
Even after delayed listings amongst others
It still dumped merciless on exchanges  and no one has been able to figure a lasting solution

I think once the product is good and functional
The price will rise again

I think it was the bounty hunter or the airdrops which cause of dropping value after Ico. Huge airdrop and hunter will dump ICO value with their payments. On the other hand, the cryptocurrency market is very bearish. It also depends on the Supply and demand of the coin. But Still, it will rise one day And break down the value Of ICO

I think now 99% of the coin price falls after its listing on the stock exchange. especially if the exchange is low liquid. With such depression that is now  on crypto market, in general I don't see sense to small investors to buy during ICO, it is simpler to buy on the exchange. Cheaper.

because there is no demand in the coins. many sell their coins but few are buying so it is no wonder that the price will drop. if no demand on the coins then the project would be the problem. the project could be in development or the project is useless.

In this weak market, only some hot ICOs gain in price while most others will drop due to bounty hunters selling and profit taking.

I don't think all ico tokens have a case like this Even though for now I see too many ico tokens that have not ideal prices when they first enter the market
it's important to look at their roadmap when we start investing with their tokens and I think it's just a matter of strategy and products that are always not prioritized and prefer to quickly enter the market.

what often happens is when ico is finished but has not yet reached the soft cap, or has reached a soft cap but they hope hard cap. usually if that happens, it will hamper the launching of tokens on exchangers, and if it has been launched, the price will fall very low. I have experienced it once in November 2017.

This is most likely because investors who purchased tokens at the very beginning of the pre-ico as soon as they finished, they start selling them to get their profit. Also, participants in bounty campaigns start selling their tokens or coins. These actions cause the price to fall.

Quality of project and team are questionable these days, many CEO just come up with a white paper and don't even have idea how it will be executed, their integrity are also questionable some have got involved in scam project before those raise eyebrow and affect the price because people are refused to be gullible anymore.

The truth is that people are no longer attaching high value to tokens and a token can only be worth what people value it. The problem lies in the hands of those who sell their tokens for a very low price, they can hold off for a higher price and if the buyers don't meet it they can decide not to sell. But when someone price your good one tenth of what you purchased it and you agree to sell, that has become its value.

Some great posts here, very informative. Thank you everyone!

Many investors do not believe in cryptocurrency, and therefore no longer buy coins on the market, so there are no big jumps on the exchanges yet, but I think it will continue again in a year

Lately, this is exactly what is happening, I think that this is related to ethereum, because the coin has not the best times!

There is no demand, that is easy as a pie. IF trusted altcoins with working product have decreased like 80%, so why should we keep money in just listed coins?
I would better cash out and buy top altcoins

most of my ICO investment, their tokens price also dropping after ICO, most of them drop more than 70% of tokens value, I'm confused why people won't support project with working product, current I haven't earn profit in ICO investment, but I still believe ICO may let me gain high profit later, so I keep research potential project and wait for the future

I think there are two main factors that lead to a decline in the price of ICO after ICO, the first is that when the project is successful, enough capital is mobilized, the developers are not focused on continuing to develop their product to the user. So the coin is unlikely to contact the consumer, secondly because the bounty hunter sells coins at low prices.

It happens most of the time, but there are some exceptions. I have seen tokens traded above ICO price after listing, even in this bearish market. An example of such is MTC. It traded above  and  investors were able to make their profits. Which means that the nature of the project and the team behind it are also strong factors that contribute to the price.

Chances are if you bought ETH to contribute to an ICO, by the time the ICO was over and the tokens were unlocked 2–3 months later, the value of ETH had gone down another $200 or more in that time or many bounty hunter selling they coins  ??? ???

Look, the cryptocurrency market is no different from the usual, and taking into account all the recent events taking place on the market, the access of tokens to the stock exchange is very expensive for the projects themselves, especially since there are large investors involved in the sale of tokens and even in the early stages they invest in the project and talk bonuses, and then they sell these bonus tokens thereby

It is always that way because as soon as the coins are listed on the exchanges they are not picked up immediately and we all know that the amount of trading being done on a coin is what determines its value. So it needs time for the investors of the coins to get their coins on the exchanges and start to trade in the coin which is when the price of the coin goes up

it often happens, the token price will go down after ico or even after the token is listed on the exchanger. That is because at the beginning of the listing many investors immediately sell their tokens, prices will go down because too many sell from those who buy. that's my opinion why the price of the token dropped after ico.

Lots of good stuff in the thread! ICOs are such a big part of crypto right now. You should know what is going on and why. Great posts everyone  ;)

Tokens price dropping after ico because many people that do bounties and bonus will like to dump their coins because they get it through rendering services and since they did not not invest their can sell it at any price. Another reason is volume. Remember that it is the volume that determines pricing and most of the tokens did not have volume that will make big investors to come in.

Hi there!

Most ICO's have private pre sales, wich means that those investors get alot of bonus discount. These pre sales come often in multiple stages, this befor the actual sale phase begins.

Those private investors can sell there coins for ico price or even way under and still make alot of profit. If you get them for 75%discount you can still make 25 % profit whencyou sell them for the halve of the actual ICO price.

So be early! Dont forget that bounty hunters and airdrop holders also dump.

Greetings! 8)

1. These past few months, its been difficult for ICO to makw about X2 ROI returns because of the current market (bears)
2. Bad tokenmetrics
Eg. Some projects are so greedy that even after collecting money from investors they alllocate little % for token sale form total suppy of tokens.
3. Projects with too much discounts and no pre sale lockups tend to dump hard.
4. Marketing
Live product + viral marketing = prevents dump
5. Delay with exchange listing

Right after the ICO there is a lot of agiotage around a newly-listed coin. Large trading volumes provide high price volatility.

Which of the projects whose tokens you bought during the ICO already has a working product and effective demand for its services, but at the same time the price of their tokens has dropped dramatically?

It is because of the market condition and most probably the dumpers. Some investors blame the bounty hunters for dumping the tokens and making the price looks inappropriate. But the fact that they don't see is that big investors have the huge discount, compared to the allocation of the bounty hunters. But they both can surely damage the price if they decide to dump the tokens in a worthless price.

Hunters have only 5% of coins. The project team, bounty managers also drop their coins very often. And this is from 20-30% of all tokens. The investors themselves stop believing in the project and also throw down coins. After that, the price of a coin is significantly reduced.

This is due to insufficient purchasing power. When many investors or hunters think that their profit from ICO is enough, they will choose to sell these tokens immediately!

   One should note that Market is Volatile, is unpredictable, once the project are in the open market after it was launched, it now dependent on the consumer's behavior towards such project if these is profitable for possible investment, either for long term or short term, the white paper, the market structure, the profile, the fundamentals of such project should have a market impact to sustain the market after ICO launching on the market. The support system is the most important indicators for the coin price value to remain high or stable on the market.there are some indicators that affect the market ups and down but it will always boils down to the fundamentals, market structure of such coin to be visible in the eyes of consumer's investors.

It is no news again that early investors, bounty hunters and airdropers dump the price of a coin.If the project itself is not solid enough and show no sign of pospect,such coin will surely dump.

that quite certainly feels the loss of the value experienced by the ethereum. This gives a big impact surely even up to now this feels. When the value of owned back certainly at the very least it will help ICO price the better. Moreover, much of the news that the ethereum will readily hard fork and certainly likely at least help give a pretty good value.

Sometimes people that couse it are the bounty hunters the sell off immediately the recieve there tokens which make the coins go down. Why because bounty hunters don't have patients like investor's.

I think this is due to the fact that bounty hunters try to quickly get rid of tokens and translate them into more reliable coins.

Token price drop after the ICO simply because market are in red! Whatever happen to higly capitalized coin will eventually affect every other coin expecially tge newly listed token. The best thing to do is to hold for higher price later!

Because it wasn't the best asset. You don't. Sometimes this is due to low expectations of investors, sometimes with a large number of bounty hunters.

It can be pump and dump or only dump. Bounty hunters and investors during pre-ico dump their tokens, bounty hunters because they will earn whenever they dump and pre-ico investors usually get bonus token so it is win-win for them.
Tokens can be pumped, and when dump starts everyone is in panic and selling tokens no matter what.

Collecting Money from the ICO is really hard these days.They are giving more discounts & offers while their token sale .Also spend more tokens for marketing like bounty programmes.So when token getting listed lot of Investors try to sell their tokens cheeply.I think this is the simple reason for instant price dropping.

It seems to me that tokens price falling immediately after the completion of ICO for two reasons. First, if bounty-hunters are paid immediately, then by selling their tokens they contribute to a sharp price drop. Secondly, because of the recession in the crypto market, new tokens cannot receive the required volumes of liquidity, so  they fall in price several times.

Because there is no any money left in crypto space. People dont want to buy newcoins. They are not trying to find any risky things. After now people only holding their tokens for next bull market so new coins in exchanges can not find a liquidity and that cause dump . Flippers want to sell their tokens immediately as always . and there is no buyer so price start to decrease. and after panic selling surely.

It's a win-win if the price of coin touch the ico price but if that will be even lower than the ico price and they were actually getting a lot of disadvantages. That depends on how much order that will be putting by the speculators to support the buy order of that coin. I guess if that will have a very strong support and then the dump will not happen.

These reasons are indeed true but i would like to add that i just heard from the others in which i don't know if this is true or not that one of the reason of why ICOs price suddenly drop on the early days after it was unlock was that the ICOs owners were the one to sell some of unsold tokens to cover the expenses and for a sure gain. I don't know if this is true or not but i just want to confirm the possibility or this is just a hearsay.

Do you guys have any examples of the prices going up after the ICO? I read that it goes down a lot, but what are the situations where it goes up instead?

Too large a bonus and also the bounty provided will indeed be a threat to the market to be declining. that's the reason why many ico experience a big decline when they are listed on the market

Indeed, for Pre-sale and also Private Sale, usually the bonus can reach 50% and of course it's actually not good when entering the market. the threat of a dump is huge. especially if they are looking for profit and go when the market listing

I did not see the discount of the token after the ICO affected by the bounty. You say the bonus is too big? It is only 100-300k and equates to 1% of total ICO revenue. So the fall of the tokens is due to the market going down, unrelated to the bounty and the bounty hunters

Pre sale holders are the big impact with value to fall after hitting exchange, those bonuses that early buyers have can pull down the value most of those investors knew that taking this early opportunities will just give them win win situations, we can't blame bounty hunters as they only have small portions
of the actual funds, maybe the dumped can be felt a little but if the project is for real, developers have it's own ways to deliver and make certain changes.

I can't give you an ICO that went that way.
Most of the ICOs that I witnessed went through a dump.
And after that dump if that project was being maintained very well it goes up.

The first thing to consider should be: did the ICO reach the hard cap?
If it didn't, then supply outstrips demand - there are tokens left over at ICO price with no-one willing to buy. This means that the highest buy order when it hits exchanges is very likely to be below ICO price.

Following the regulation of ICO and cryptocurrency industry, the Government of Malta decided to draw attention to the developing field of artificial intelligence (AI). During the last blockchain summit, the government announced the creation of a special body that will develop a strategy for the development of AI. Therefore, in the ico company market, problems will be solved quickly.

- I do not think the reward for a bounty is a big problem because it only accounts for a very small part of the project, even bounty hunters also have no chance to sell tokens when they received the reward at a very late time, so the problem is not in the bounty. I very doubt the problem is the investors, they gradually realized that the projects were no longer too attractive and no longer profitable, especially in a very bad market situation like now, selling quickly when there is profit is their decision, they want to ensure safety and not loss but that thought has led to the collapse of the token after it is listed

Not sure I can agree with you here. Investors usually think about it as a longer-term investment, while bounty hunters and speculators are just there for a short run, for a quick buck. Which means they would be selling off their tokens as soon as they hit the exchanges. Some investors might follow because of the FUD when they see the price dropping drastically. But, I don't think that it starts from the investors.

It seems to me that the members of the community are all beginning to accuse the Bounty Hunters of falling prices, but in any case this is not so. I understand the negative statements in the direction of bounty hunters.

Would be refreshing to hear some bounty hunters comments here as well. Because, yeah, right now a lot of heat goes towards them regarding the prices falling after the ICO.

I also always meet negative information regarding Bounty Hunters. What are we to blame? The price of a coin cannot fall because of us, because even the total pool for a Bounty company rarely exceeds 2% of the total amount of coins. 2% of coins can not affect pricing. In addition, if the project is really promising, then a sane person will never sell the coin at low prices.

Its always expected much more to some investors because they need to buy tokens on Ico and its been a normal situation that after the Ico and the token or coin has been added to an exchange the price drops slowly or faster.  We cannot say that it was all from bounty hunter but the price falls because of the big holder or investors as well the big bounty credits of a particular token to sell right away on that exchange.

Aside from the Op's mentioned post from this thread, ICO's tend to pay tokens for advisors and other members of their team and some of them don't have some lock-up period to ensure no one is dumping large amounts of tokens you can't imagine how much they are paying them aside from regular cryptos like bitcoin and Eth, others from bounty hunters but that will also depend on the allocation of the campaign.

Some reasons from my person:
1. Early investors dumping with little profit because of bonuses for them.
2. Bounty hunters dumping after token hit first exchange.
3. Some bad news come out about the project or team.
4. Whole crypto market situation and sentiment.

I think this sums it up pretty well

Bounty hunters do always took the blame when we do talk about dumps on initial listing of coins on its first exchange without even thinking that the real dumpers on those times are the investors majority to
secure out profits specially for those who bought on pre-sale but basing on the most common situation do happen on each project now.I can barely see to investors on making profits on a short time with ICO methods but rather they do lose up some amounts on their investment for sure.

I go with first point as they are the ICO investors who get the coin first and when the coin hit the exchange they are the one who sell the coin in any price as you stated they get coins with discount so their purchasing price becomes low and when the coins goes below ICO price then also they are in profit due to bonus.

But even then everyone blames on bounty hunter when they clearly know that the bounty hunters are the coin who get coin very late even after coin hit the exchange they get after some time till then coin price goes down and the bounty coin worth become very low.

2018 in my opinion the year to invest after the ICO is finished. start buying coins / tokens with a good concept and wait a month after the exchange is registered, the price will drop. why does this happen, because the market is bearish, now is the time for market correction whether to go up or down. stay cool and strong friend :-*

Yes, that makes sense as well. If only 2% of the tokens in circulation are handed to bounty hunters, then it is such a small fraction of the whole token distribution amount. It might be hard for them to have a big impact on the token price.

Bounty is small, but they are the first to sell. During the trading session, they buy at low price and then sell again at below ICO price and higher than purchase price. That made investors fear and they also have the mentality of selling their pennies because they fear losses

Based on the fact that investors at ICO receive huge bonuses, it makes sense for them to immediately sell all received coins, and at the same time receive the necessary profit.

but, in my opinion token price dropping after ICO is because at the private sale period most of project give a huge bonus for their early investors,,
and this investors dump their token early,,, i hope the lock period will be for private sale investors too, not only for the team or advisors from the project

There is a lot of reason for sure. The no.1 reason behind that is the hounty hunter not all but most of them are selling their coins once they got their token and listed to the market and other people who purchased token sell also token once the token listed.  But they have some scenario that project can cause of dumping the value.

I have been into different ICO's already and that's what i have always experienced too. That's when the ICO got caught up during the market crash and others are also dumping their token holdings too.

Well, the thing is that it is always every single person that will be able to speak for themselves. However, for me personally, bounty campaign is just something I see as a long term thing when it comes to the tokens or coins from ICO. I have been holding so many tokens right from last year and I am still holding as much as I can, as long as I know there is a great prospect for the project in the long run. Basically, I do not just join bounty; I do my diligence to know that what I am joining is worth holding for the long term, so I do not end up bag holding a shit coin.

In this vein, I will only be speaking for myself, but I am sure a lot of bounty hunters are like this. Nonetheless, the team should always be considerate enough when issuing out bonuses to the investors, huge bonuses sometimes, will always lead to tokens being dumped to shake out weak hands by the whales.

Since the Bounty company is practically the only opportunity for me to replenish my home budget, I only sell tokens when I need money. But whenever possible, I keep all other coins for the future, because I understand which projects will be more promising.

They are forced to dump their tokens. Most of the ICO investors are only into chase for the profits.

---

When a whale who invested to that ICO sees that the drop would start soon, he's starting to dump his tokens to prevent more losses.

Facing this kind of thing we should have started to get used to dealing with it calmly because we have often encountered various altkoin from the ico project which ended at a price very far from the price of ico after being registered in exchange and you can minimize losses if you always monitor price movements tokens after being registered in an exchange because usually the initial price after entering the exchange still has a fairly high exchange rate then the price will decline and last long enough below the price of ico and if you experience this it is better to save and hold.

for me i guess this dropping of prices will all be due to some investors and bounty hunter selling their investments as soon as the ICO ends, and sometimes alts are being listed on a bad exchange that make other investors lose trust on it.

Some of the dumps came from investors who bought at the pre-sale.
as we know most of the ICO price at pre-sale tend to be cheaper and they provide bonus tokens. So that these investors will easily get profits by dumping their tokens when listed on an exchange.

After the distribution of token and had listed in the exchange a massive dumping would be a possibility to happen not only by the hunters and also by the investors that is the probable reason why it is dropping after an ICO end.

Hunters are just a handful of tokens they are holding, so if they are patient, over time the hunters sell out tokens, the price will increase, but the main factor behind the price is often lower than the ICO. Because the project was unsuccessful and not really useful to consumers.

in my opinion, the investor has much more opportunities to allow the price of a coin in the market than it is with the Bounty Hunters. I think that my words confirm the percentage ratio of the number of tokens among participants of the Bounty company and investors.

Almost any projects that are now on the stock exchange after the ICO are falling in price, this is due to the trend in the market.

So  this may suggest that managers of this token and ICO don't wark about token after the end of bounty campaign and ICO. Just be more careful.

It is not about the trend because if the token is in demand the price will raise, the main reason is that the bounty participants sell their token immediately after acquiring it from the team so the tendency the demand will drop and has lots of supply therefore the price will drop.

the drop price after ico is reasonable because it can occur because of sales by investors and bounty participants. but I have more confidence in investors who make prices drop because the coins that investors get are bigger, so it is a natural thing and must wait when the price of the coin will rise again.

As, the market is crashed totally and all the major coins are like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, Litecoin are traded almost down 4 or 5 times that's why after ICOs all the tokens are also traded down with responding the market.

The bonus given by the pre team is very big for the investors and it is certainly not good when the market listing. can experience a big drop too. not to mention if there is a large bounty allocation. it will also be a factor why prices are declining

It is so, but why... mainly due to decline of a whole market and low probability for a growth.
If you think that your asset is going down,then get rid off it at the beginning

Lol. The thing with this world is that people will always have someone or a group of people to blame for everything even though they do not even have the slightest clue at all.

This is a market, and if there is anything at all, as much as bounty hunters keep selling at loss since most of them do not usually take their time to view ICO price anyway, bonuses collected by investors to me is the main thing here that the whales basically use to drive the price down, shake out the bounty hunters who want to sell at loss, and when they are all tapped out and no one left, and they have accumulated enough, they start buying back and then you will see the same set of weak hands that sold at loss, coming back to join FOMO.

Will this mean the end of the ICO boom soon?

it looks like we will soon see an increase in ICO prices after market price growth has declined so far because I am sure if all Altcoin prices on the market will return to green. it is not always the price of coins to holding red because this is the same as a rising or falling wave.

Most of people, who would like to use tokens within certain project buy them during the ICO, so there is nobody to buy them right after the end of the ICO.

Yes, you are right on that. This certainly can be one of the reasons. There just isn't enough demand. So, it might make sense right now to not participate in the ICO and wait til the tokens hit an exchange and then hop on board?

ICOs usually have 100%, 80% or 60% bonus in private or pre-sale period. Investors often buy at this point, actually the publicity phase they almost didn't sell much. Token price dropping after ICO is also understandable.

Boutny participants are unable to hold tokens. They sell it right after reaching the exchanges and it could not be considered as something good for the market price of token.

Yes its not really good because after dumping the early investor will invest on another ico preasale with bonus and dumping its again to make fast buck profit an so on

All ICO projects are in a difficult period and it is difficult to attract investment capital at this time. I think we need to look for new investors to this market, the demand for investment in ICO projects will increase but it will probably take a long time because of the poor market performance that makes every people are not interested in investing in this market

I think that is because it is not appreciated and its capitalization is just like that. But there are a number of ICO projects that make the price of the token low but they will pump the price of the token higher than the ICO price after 3 months. That's the strategy of some great ICO projects. There are many different types of ICOs, so it is best to talk to the founder before investing a large amount of money.

there are many reasons why ico has decreased in price. like what is happening now where there are so many projeckers who have experienced the same thing. usually this is a big bonus given to their ico

 I dont recommend for participating to ico at these months, like you said token prices dropping much after ico and we can invest from cheaper price at bear market, but at bull season dont miss good project's ico of course, you can earn 3x-4x easily from one ico.

If there is not too much ICO scam in the past then I think the ICO market will still exist and be more interested investors. Unfortunately, ICO scam is so powerful and it makes many investors afraid of it. We don't need to find new investors just ICO it is a good project

Yes I really agree on this issue where tokens price are also dropping soon after the ICO simply because this ICOs are being abandoned by their own developer making it active only for a short period of time during its introduction and then soon after that all will be gone along with the investors money making investors nowadays to doubt on any ICOs out there.

Most icos are selling their coins for a very expensive price, so when the time comes and those coins are in the market those that invested in it realize that there is not really a huge interest of the community in the coin and when there is no demand it doesn't matter how low is to supply the price is going to go down, it is a very sad state of affairs but you should get used to it.

The bonus that is given is very large and also the bounty allocation is also very influential about the condition of the price of the token when they register their tokens and usually experience price declines

Because of bonuses. When bonuses are too high, ICO investors can sell tokens lower than ICO price, so it affects market price and it is obvious.

No real product or working product, so who need token? its look so volatile or dump and pump scheme, early investor with big discount dump the price and bounty hunter involved..

The product is the service of the coin they are launching coin for the services, if a normal person does not knoe how it works they will really think that it has no product and they will not benefit for it. But since the pump and dump scheme are happening that is the reason why the ICO does not have a good reputation.

This comes in mind whenever I consider investing in ICO's. I think we can trace the issue to a wide range of variables, mostly attributed to bounty hunters dumping their coins immediately after listing. This has made some projects adopt the idea of locking tokens for airdrop and bounty participants for a certain period of time and it has not been that effective as desired. It could be from early investors who had a huge bonus and getting a X5 even before the coin lists.

Basically, large funds and companies invest in ICO! And the price of tokens is less than they actually write on the sites ! Therefore, the market price is lower!

it is very good that recently they have ceased to accuse the participants of the Bounty companies that the prices of tokens are falling. First of all, it is necessary to consider the investment attractiveness of the project and the public interest in this company.

This is not an isolated case of this situation. And now in general the situation on the market is not very pleasant. I want to believe that soon everything will be adjusted

Yes, the market situation isn't very good. Just checked some statistics of this year and the number of ICO's have started to fall after May. When in May there was 144 ICO's, then in September there was only 56 - a drastic fall. Seems that the market situation being the way it is, is heavily influencing the number of ICO's been conducted.
Source: https://www.coinschedule.com/stats.html

in many cases where the roadmap cannot run smoothly and many holders form their own prices from their coin inputs in the forkdelta or other decentralized markets, this causes unstructured prices according to plan because they are dominated by sellers who damage prices below the ICO.

Many projects this year choose to lock their coins for several months until they enter the exchange they want, this is annoying but it might be very effective to prevent a big difference from the initial price.

it's true what you say, because the price drops usually because the token holder is getting tired of waiting for the project to run according to the roadmap, resulting in the effect of dumping the token price.

Token prices usually fall immediately when the ICO is finished, there are many causes, one of which is that the founder of ICO may not support coins that have started to enter the exchange, and maybe also because of the influence of the bounty campaigns that sell the tokens obtained.

I think because of some reasons:

1- The crypto market is bearich.
2- Most of ICO's don't have a good team.
3- They don't plan to create a real good community of real investors.
4- ICO price is sometimes overpriced.
5- They didn't collect enough funds in ICO.
6- They gave a lot of money in Airdrop and Bounty... etc

What do you mean by "the founder of ICO may not support coins that have started to enter the exchange". Sorry, no getting the point. Please elaborate  :)

In my opinion it depends on the investors and managers of ICO. When managers don't work with their crypto and investors only hold it, the coin had not to rise up never.

today you can look for the perpetrators of lower prices for coins everywhere. Well, they also accuse the participant of the Bounty companies, but we have to take into account the investment background in the ico market of companies, which has been greatly reduced. And also we must take into account the poor state of the cryptocurrency market, which prevents projects from developing and the prices of coins fall.

That's basically a total shitpost which he doesn't even know on what hes trying to say. Token creators are rarely not minding to list out his tokens to know the higher
value the coin would be the more profit or money he can make with developer holdings but most of the time they are locked up for a certain period of time. Dumping of tokens
are just already a normal thing. Reason? Investors itself.

Becaue there is a gap between actual end of ICO and launch of the first version of project. In this gap, there is almost no demand for tokens on market.

I agree, many ICO's wait a long time to launch their MVP product, or at least the Alpha version of their product. They list their tokens in exchanges, then people and whales dump their prices, after that, they launch their product, but it becomes without any importance, because whales who bought a huge amount of tokens, will manipulate the price.

There are many factors, however, if we find that the dumped hunter bounties are a part, secondly because of their poor quality project. They do not care much about the value of a coin. They do not wear tokens or reduce prices

doesn't the decline occur after ico finishes that often happens. in my opinion the problem lies in the lack of purchasing power, because there are only investors and bounty hunters who want to sell. while the purchasing power of tokens has not yet developed. there must be some updates from the team to increase purchasing power, it can improve the value of tokens on the market.

One of the reasons behind is due to the dumping of tokens that will affect greatly to its market value. If one will sell about hundreds of thousands of its tokens after it's listed in the market, then expect its price to drop below its ICO price.

Token price drop after ICO because of the market condition and investors and bounty hunters tend to dump at whatever price when it get listed

It is due to the negative market behavior which clearly influences the outcome of the market price of the tokens once released on different exchanger resulting to huge profit loss for the investors. This is also the reason why some investors have chosen to take a rest for now from investing due to the outcome of as such. But maybe. once recovery starts, they will be back at it again and I think there is nothing wrong with that.

i guess it because too many icos and if a year ago dump could be cause by bounty hunters, now its because of fake icos numbers, some ico could write on the site that it collected 10 millions usd for example and there is no single proof of it and they will make tokens worth 10 million usd and dump them

It's due to early investors and bounty hunters, a good investor or holder will support the project if it seems to have more stiffs to offer in the future that can make it pump.

Hmm, ok. In this case, a project with already working MVP or alpha version would be better? Seems so. Also, it gives people more trust, because there's already something to show.

There is no enough buyers and volume for all altcoins and if there is no buyer, price drops normally and this is what happened for 7-8 months. But if market return to normal again and we can see good rises, icos can be profitable again like previous year.

Whatever reasons is it, investors and traders need to recover their investments that is why, dumping of tokens is all the reason behind everything, every persons wants to take profit in it, so in most cases, it happens to all ico's after listing them.

Even the buying volume for bitcoin is generally low for this past few months, so I think most altcoins listed on the crypto-currencies trading market would eventually take a longer period as compared to bitcoin to recover their values to its previous high record, I think investors should also be more cautious when they are planning to invest their money into ICOs projects this year.

Perhaps due to poor project quality, the project was not noticed by the users, because they did not have the expertise and they could not develop their products. Some bounty hunters sell coins at extremely low prices

This happens a lot even before due to the demand on the particular crypto. But since there is a negative market behavior this year, it is becoming an additonal factor why the market prices of the tokens are falling below ICO price since the value is being negatively influenced by the situation. This is what giving doubts to the investors to invest at this point.

The destruction of tokens is done by investors and the community on a project, the community does not have the vision to hold their tokens. and the team did not give the wall so the tokens were not destroyed. they seemed to leave it alone.
this might be a sign that ico is dying.

Token rates drop after the ICO period, primarily due to bounty members selling Token after Token is indexed on exchange floors. But this reduction in exchange rates occurs only in a short time because the total number of Token for bounty accounts for only 5% of the total supply Token.

Because it is a bad project or its capital was not good enough to make the token's value higher than the ICO. They often use the money they attract from investors to negotiate for being listed on some exchanges and hold. So the token value is reduced but if they burn the token, that would be a good option.

I have read again this that the bounty hunters are being blamed.  ;D

AFAIK most of the allocations for bounty hunters are around 1%-2% or higher up to 5% but the rest goes the team itself and investors. Ask the developers if you see massive sell offs for that token from the developers.

In ICO presale it was big discount , some times 50 percent and more, thats why price dropping when hit exchange, it actually not happen with ICO have real product with good demand and supply system. buy wall can eliminate this problem.

Most ICOs have no value at all so I think the token price is lower than the ICO price I think is normal. I only feel it unusual when prices rise too high after the ICO end.

well, the reason used by dev is that they can't control the market. of course not all ICOs are like that. however, most, after the ICO, many investors sell the assets they have, so the price of coins decreases. well, the only way to increase the price is to improve product quality

After being listed ico's token on any exchange, its price has decreased continuously. Because the ico's investor starts selling the token and bounty hunters also sells their tokens. And for these reasons many ico token prices are dumped.

Because if the price is higher than the ICO price, some ICO investors are going to sell their tokens. And some bounty hunters may sell their coins too. Some people having no patience could also sell their tokens, or if they think that the price is going to fall more to rebuy at a lower price. It is really difficult to know how much a token is going to be worth at the exchange.

Most of them is due to the investors taking their profit,
And sometimes the developer are leaving their own project.

I think the market situation that we are having has something to do with the negative outcome of the projects this year. As we can see, the market is filled with red marks which might negatively affects the ICO projects being released in the market. Despite of the potential of the projects, the price of the tokwns are mostly falling continuously upon being listed in the market so maybe that is why.

There are many possibilities that cause that to happen,
1. The development team is not very good at developing their project
2. Investors who are impatient and want to immediately benefit from their investment
3. ICO SCAM
4. fatal errors that occurred in the development of the project that caused investors to lose trust

Maybe that is some reason for ICO prices falling at cheaper prices

In bear market people don't have the tendency to take risk, so they avoid getting into coins with low cap or relatively new ones. Usually, investors too sell at low price if they can't wait. Bear market isn't really good for conducting ICO I think. Moreover, bounty hunters add to the problem by selling at cheaper price.

Not bad.
But I think more important that too many private and closed sales for investors and funds. They buy by very cheap price and after sell with good profit but don't need to wait a big growth. And it's main problem for me. From one side, funds are good, but for profit it's very bad especially without locks

Yes, I agree with you. I think locks are essential in these cases.

The reasons for ICO token been devalued after listing on exchange are many,  if a token is not listed on a proper exchange that has volume,  liquidity and traders,  such token will lose lots of value in the days of listing.  Another factor is Dex,  if Dex is the sole exchange for a token,  there will not be control and value of such token may plummet!

That should become the main concern, we don't know about how much bonus has been offered by the team to the ico private sale investors. They will dump their token instantly if they have been getting huge bonus from the private sale. This is unfair for me personally. This makes the price of token getting dumped so hard.

few main reasons of price dropping after ico and possible scam alert is not having escrow, not providing evidences that ico really collected something, not just some numbers on the site. there is lack of trust to icos with that kind a things, i dont know why people should invest if they dont see a transparency anymore  >:(

Most of the time, fake project also lied with their investors showing a huge numbers of supports but nothing to provide proofs, so after reaching the exchange dev itself are dumping their coins as they knew that there's no supports that will be created to their projects, its really hard to invest now
much better to buy existing projects that already have good numbers of community and usable products.

the fake sales figures posted on the website of an ICO, for example, there is a statement presale has been completed or the softcap is reached, it needs to be suspected even though it is only to attract investors.

Today, many investors use this strategy and buy coins on the stock exchange after listing, and not on time the company ico, because it is much more profitable. But the lack of investment during the ico of companies negatively affects the development of the project.

It is not really some kind of great mystery why this happens, people have lost faith in icos, the market is in a really bad shape as we are seeing right now with the prices going down in a very significant way and when you add that most of the projects are not really original and are based on other projects that most likely failed as well then you have all the necessary reasons of why this happens.

Answer is simple, at the market everything is dropping so new projects can drop like everything. I dont recommend for participating to ico at bear market also.

This is the most usual scenario after listing in exchange and the price drop down to 50 percent lower than the ICO price but if you observe the trade volume it is just a minimal. The usual cause of the price dump is from the early investor who availed the very big discount from pre-sale, private sale or other sales that offer a higher discount like 50 to 70 percent. Some of it came from bounties but overall this price dump is just as little as 1 percent than the total available supply of the token.

The price goes down after ico
there is many factors why the price goes down
- Bonus too big when presale
- Allocation for bounty,airdrop campaigns is big
- WEAKHANDS
- Too many investors sell their token When the token the first time to enter  market

i think thats reason why thee price goes down after ico

Now this trend, almost all coins after entering the stock exchange fall. I think this is not the fault of the project developers, most likely just a bad time chosen to run the projects.

Good read but also take into considerations the cashing out from ETH of those ICOs. That's the reason why Eth fell as well plus the fact that there are some delays in their promises.

this is a regular issue wich nobody has possessed the capacity to comperhend why . It is these reasons , the early stages rewards that are offured by the undertaking for general society and once the ICO is finished ,numerous speculators will dump the token and trade then for more steady coins

Many are in here only for quick money and sell immediately after listing. But it's not very wise to sell after listing, we are in a bear market now and if prices will rise again good projects will rise also. Patience is key for many issues in life.

If you participated in a good ICO I would wait because value will be much more if it becomes a success.

An ICO Project requires development so that in the beginning a process will occur and it will make the ICO price decline. But over time, when a project has reached a much higher level, the price can increase. Implementation and how the team works will determine whether they can achieve that goal or not. This is an unavoidable thing, ICO projects need patience and we must be right in choosing an ICO project.

Personally i think all the dumpers and maybe some projects trying to gain too by pumping in tokens from their reserve funds too and then cutting the price themselves just for short term gain is the reason behind fall in token price after ico

Because its value is not as high as it was at the calling phase. The project also spends a lot of money on listing on some exchanges and paying wages to many people. Then they will sell tokens and lower the price.

All ICO projects are very risky for investment and investing in new projects is a bad choice. I think it will take a lot of time to see the new recovery as the cryptocurrency is heavily influenced by whales and big financial corporations.

if they run bounty campaign, of course the bounty hunters sell their tokens that's why token price drop and also the early investors too selling their tokens.

And when these new projects gets into exchanges most of them will start to be dumped. It is not questionable if most of these tokens are dropping after they held an ICO because many don't like those tokens to stay on their wallets. Participating during the bear market would give you the idea that more ETH/BTC you'll invest, the lower value they've got. But if the price of these coins starts to bull, you will only need to spend small amount.

I think the main reason why the price of token goes down after ICO is that the bounty hunters or the investors dumps the coin after they receive it. In that case, they will receive higher price but the coin will not survive since the price of it will become low because they dump it already.

look, now every single token will be dumped because market sucks and there is no liquidity for shit coins.
BTC and eth are cheap, why should I buy a new shit coin?

The main reason, I think, is that the project has a product that is not popular with the public, so I think we can see that the market is struggling now, many of the ICOs have fallen off after the exchange. And they have lost investor confidence

1. Most projects are victims of the bear market. Its not easy finding an ICO that will give you good profits in this bear market. Most ICO investors now are flippers, after getting X2 or 3 they dump the tokens are look for another project to flip.
2. Not listing immediately on a reputable exchange results to token price drop
3. Too much bonus on private salw without lock up
4. Zero marketing, just focused on project development
5. Bad tokenmetrics

It mostly goes like that cause a lot of people dump their token easily without realizing the effect on it. In some cases also, the team never care on their project and their main concern is on the money they'll get from investors, and they aren't go for more exchanges listing.

The first reason it could be that people dump their airdrops and bounties. However, frequently, they are quite delayed and I doubt that's kind of a big issue.
Secondly, why people who just bought will sell at a loss straight after the ICO. It could be because they found something dodgy about the project or price is falling and they decided to exit with others.
The last reason I can think of is that those who bought as early birds or private investors, who have some profit may sell it with some profit...Anyways, those all factors may impact, as well as a bear market.

There is a lot of reason behind the Token price dropping after ICO, especially after the Token is listed on the exchange floor. Being joined a lot of bounty ICO campaigns, I think bounty members do not make the price of Token decreased because the amount of Token for bounty is less than 5%, the investors are the criminal leads to a decrease in the exchange rate of ICO.

For what I have seen in the market the most important reason why the price goes down after the ico is the number four reason that you give, the price of the coins is simply too high and it is impossible for the price of the coin to go up when its price was four or five times its real value, let the market decide from the very beginning what it is going to be the price of the coin and magically the price will stop to go down after the ico.

The token prices are always depend on the market condition and the demand & supply of the coin. So, when the market condition is in crash and all the trader and investors are going away of their investment so the demand for that token or coin go down so the price also affected and decline. Finally, when the ICO is running in a crash situation after lunching of the token in exchanges so the market affect the whole and the token price dropped immediately.

Most of the tokens are dropping after the ICO because at this time the market is decreasing and many developers could not preserve ICO price as they expected.

There is no demand at all, that's why price is dropping after it. All icos tokens worth nothing, so it is not attractive for investors.
That's why price is dropping so far

I agree, mostly price decreasing because of no demands. This is usually happen investors sell their coins to take profit which makes price drop. Also no development on their project that obviously their is no trust by new users or investors.

In my opinion , that's normal. Most of the ICO tokens' market value are falling immrdiately upon being listed on different exchangers simply because many investors and bounty hunters are selling at that moment. The increase before on the market prices of a newly listed coin, starts after a couple of weeks of being listed but the situation right now is a problem. All cryptos are having a hard time to have an increase due to continuous downtrend.

Maybe Team ore Angle (early) Investor dumping :-[

Some fall immediately after token starts trading is due to bounty hunters and other early investors taking profits. But these days the main cause is this long bear market correction. Once market becomes bullish, there will be more positive moves in the tokens.

Yes, would be fun to see what happens when the next bull-run comes. But that might take long time.

What i have seen is that bounty hunters can be a reason for the drop in some cases. But nowadays, the investors panic as well. They might be less in number but in the starting volume is less as well. So panic sellers can bring that dump which creates further panic. Listing an ICO token while in bear market is risky.

Buying now will bring handsome returns within a few short months

I think that would be reasonable, when the beginning is registered in exchange with a small trading volume, and many will sell for sure the price of the token will drop. Whether selling from a bounty hunter or investor is not important, it is clear that everything depends on the team's strategy and how to maintain the stability of the price of their tokens.

First of all, Everything depends on the state of the cryptocurrency market, because investors and Bounty Hunters have always done their work, but the results are completely different if we compare 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Now is a great time to invest in Altcoins. many of them are in a very good position. I advise buying now and waiting for growth

sometimes investors, and bounty hunters are also the main cause because they want to make a profit. well, because sometimes many people are attracted to a high enough price, and then sell these tokens in large quantities, which is why prices always drop after distribution.

Yes, bear market can be the cause here as well. People just don't put their money into something that easily anymore.

man, forget about ICO, market is full of cheap altcoins with high hype level and now all what you have to do is just buy cheap altcoins!
Don't select risky assets!

This is a good point as well. But, still there are great projects that are going to launch their ICO's, so I see no point to just completely stop investing in ICO's. Though I also agree with your statement. Just some research on upcoming ICO's is needed.

And remember, not all tokens prices are falling after the ICO. It all depends on different factors that are discussed in the thread here.

My personal point of view is not to mention bad projects:
- influence from the bear market.
- lack of investment from reputable financial investment funds.
- The correlation between ETH and ICO, the token price is governed by ETH. Projects tend to sell off ETH to spend money on project development.> ETH dump -> token dump

Maybe one of the reasons is most bounty hunters are dumping their bounties once rewards are distributed. Also, it could be that pre-ico investors, who got good discount during the pre-ico stage wants to earn fast money once altcoin hits the exchange. There are actually a lot of factors that affects the price of an altcoin after their ICO.

I agree, with the market being this cheap there is no point buying icos, this is the perfect opportunity to buy many established altcoins that can make you a lot of money once the market recovers, coins like ethereum, ripple and neo are there for anyone that has the courage to buy them despite the decrease in the price and if you want to make money then you need to gather the courage to buy them.

In many cases, this is due to the fact that many of the ICO was conducted in the period when the Ethereum cost more than 700 dollars, but now, with the release of the token on the exchange, the price of Ethereum is $ 110..

Perhaps due to the influence of the market partly, partly because the project was not finalized at the end of the ICO, in part because the Bounty hunter dumped the coins, so these causes would lead to the coin being dropped. reduction.

It can be the pre sale investors that can really affect the value after the ico, as bounty hunters only gets small portions of the actual sales, unlike pre sale investors who have much larger scale of investment, once they've seen the value to rise up they easily dumped and enjoy the earnings, it will take some time for the value to recover if the team really concerned about the project they should have some sets of plans anticipating the possible dumped after listing the coins.

And maybe the team maybe does not have the ability to do their project, generally young friends want to make project together but few months later they understood that they can't this. Also market conditions are bad like you said, there is a lot of reason for this drops.

That's right, there are many reasons why after the ICO is finished and the listing on the market price of the token drops, there are also some projects that are able to support the price of their tokens when listing on the market, usually depending on what market conditions.

The fall in prices for tokens after they appear on the stock exchange is a normal process, but in 2017 when the whole market grew too fast - even those coins that appeared on the stock exchanges usually started to grow in price immediately. Now it has changed and it has saddened many investors.

there is too much tokens now released every month, in few times more than it was a year ago, but money that they collect in icos are in ten times less than it was a year ago too, so they just drawing numbers on the site and saying that they collected some fake amount, after that releasing their fake tokens for example for 20 millions of collected funds and selling them by themselves or something similar

the market conditions was made the price drop hard after ICO my friend
bounty hunters maybe will affected the price when they dumped their rewards,, but only for a while
and for now a lot of project give the rewards for the bounty hunters in few months after the crowdsale end right,,
in my opinion,, the private investors with huge rewards sell their token earlier because the afraid with this red market  ;)

Well I think supply and demand is the number one reason why those token go flat once released and maybe some of the ico might decide to push the remaining tokens they have into the market for more gain But mostly the good ico tends to recover with time I think when that dip happens is time to go buy

Supply and demand are definitely the key factors here. Dumpers are selling a ton, but there's just not enough buyers and this will drive the price down.

In bear market you can't expect ico price when listed in exchange. Bounty hunter dumping price after distribution because i think most of the hunter try to selling as like Competition this is the point of dumping reason. I have invested many project but i did not get the right price after ico.     

At this time it is natural that many ico actually go down. because the market itself also experienced a large decline. besides that the bounty factor and also a large bonus make prices also decline

Do not blame the bounty hunters they are just a small part of the project. If that project really grows and there is always good news, bounty hunters will never sell their tokens at cheap rates but instead choose to keep them in the long run. Everyone blames the bounty hunter, but the most bugs are the developers of the project because they are the big money keepers.

the token drop after ico is a natural thing, because seeing the current potential of the participants ico sometimes make large-scale sales as do investors or bounty participants. this is the main factor for the price of tokens to drop.

influence from investors or from the current bounty hounter is one factor that might be used as a cause. but I see it's only a small part, the main players should be the team how to keep the coins in order to stay in the best position and that can be used as one of the hard jobs.

As you said, bounty hunters are a small part of a large project and if the ICO is good, they are not able to lower the price by 90%.
In my opinion, there may be many reasons, but the main are: bear market, whales manipulation to drop the price and buy cheap tokens, and the most common - no marketing right after ICO.

I disagree for your first reason, you mentioned that most gift hunters throw away their gifts once the rewards are distributed at a cheap price, while the allocation of tokens they get is very small does it make sense if they can make market prices a dump?

Not sure. But the fact is that they are dumping and the price goes down. So, the logical assumption would be that the price is going down because of them.

does anyone have recent statistics of ICO-s and their token prices?
how many of them drop when hitting the exchange?

I think that depends on how their team is doing their job seriously or not, because, if they don't seriously develop their project, they will lose the trust of investors who have joined their project, and investors will feel disappointed with the behavior of the project developers.

 As we know, many investors are very sensitive to the ICO because they see a lot of ico scams. However, if you see their team active and always develop according to their roadmap, then there is a possibility that prices will exceed the price of ico, even though prices will drop dramatically after ico, surely the price will go up even though all bounty hunters sell tokens from their jobs, and that takes time, because there is nothing instant for satisfying results.

Yes, this often happens when a coin has entered in exchange and the price immediately falls. I think this is because many people throw coins. I often experience this when I get an ICO coin and I will sell it and surely the price is directly below the ICO price. Many people do not dare to hold ICO coins for a long time because the price does not increase.

In any case, you need to assess the situation correctly, because the price of coins during the ico of the company, this is the price that the developers set. But in the market the coin has a price According to the situation of the cryptocurrency market.

maybe because major coins have decreased almost all crypto coins dropped in including ico tokens or other possible causes because bounty hunter or airdrop hunters sell their coins together

Yes, I think we can't give a good explanation in this market situation as everything is falling. Can't expect ICO tokens to act differently.

that's right what you say because the bounty hunter has no connection the price of the token drops after the ICO is finished, because for the bounty prize it is small, therefore many investors have retreated because they feel disadvantaged. if in my opinion it has become the game of the ICO

If after the ICO ends and listed on exchange the price of their token is drop, in my opinion it is reasonable considering that they have just been listed on the exchange and they are still in the early stage (not yet having a product). So just hold them until have a decent value. However, if the ICO has ends a long time ago but the price continues to drop it seems like you have to sell this token immediately. Because usually this is due to an internal problem that occurs on this platform, and if you are stubborn to keep holding it you will only get loss more.

There could be many reasons for this but one of the main ones is that the company was a scam or they couldn't deliver what they promised, it could also be that people weren't as interested in the idea as the company thought.

dont invest in any ico now, its a 99% that they will fraud you. 99% of them just writing fake numbers of funds collected and dont give a single proof that they collected them. now its a about 30 millions of funds is been collected for all of icos, but if you check hundreds of them that you will see that they write about 10 millions each, thats all fake

less demands in crypto world, and in my opinion this is the main causes why the price of token dropping after ICO
just wait, started by this year,, i'm sure the green market will come and stay  ;)

I agree with you. It's just always easier to blame bounty hunters. This is the most common version that I hear all the time, but even if all bounty hunters start selling coins at the same time, they will not be able to influence the market, because their share is very small.

It is partly due to early investors and bounty hunters taking profits and also due to the weak market conditions.

If you say because of weak market conditions, I agree with you, because most ICO coins do not have big enthusiasts after they are registered in the market so that when someone sells their coins the price will not move up again because of the lack of investors after they are registered stock exchange.

It has nothing to do with the ico. Almost all the ico that started in 2018 are down by 80 percent . Many ico's are even dead and some have scammed people .That's the risk you are facing when you invest in upcoming technology.

It is absolutely normal for a token to lose its value after hitting the exchange(s). The thing is that a lot of bounty participants want to cash out their earnings and they want as high value for their tokens as possible. That is the reason why the price often times falls sharply after listing.

In 2018 there are often many coins that collapse after being registered in the exchange market. Many people throw coins and influence the decline in the price of Bitcoin. The decline in Bitcoin prices can have an impact on decreasing all Altcoin. We must be patient and continue to hold coins, as much as we can to invest.

We can't actually stop them not to sell immediately after receiving their rewards since they much needed money at that point. In some areas weren't crypto isn't accepted for payment,  they absolutely converted their tokens into fiat currency. 
The downfall trend after ICO won't be resolve if the team won't take action on it,  they should look some alternative ways for its recovery and not just letting it go.

because the price of btc is down, but I'm also a little confused because when opening ico the price is not much different maybe only 100-200 $ adrift from the price of btc when ico, but the decline is very high more than 60% even worse.

well, sometimes I'm a little confused about this. I think that a project is paid for with the right money, but when it's finished, they wait for the market to be good. well, but basically, this is normal. maybe because a lot of people hold the coin, and sell it when they first enter the market and make the price fall.

I think ETH price will affect more ICO. During the past BTC did not fall too low, but ETH fell very low. So all investors have dumped tokens to receive ETH. Also I thought maybe that scam project when they also made dumping

Tokens fall in price because many investors make a profit after tokens reach stock exchanges and sell them for re-purchase at a reduced price.

Most of bounty hunters are selling their rewarded tokens after the tokens were traded on exchanges. Also some early ICO participants (with high bonuses) are also selling their tokens immediately. This are some problems why most of the token prices drops after the ICO.

Because some investors got enough profits and sold their tokens for profits. Or because some others think that it will drop more. It also can be  an action of the company creating the ICO if they sell their tokens for some profits. The price depends on the sellers and buyers.

many ICOs now are just scams so a wise investors will not hold that token forever they will sell immediately to get profit but sometime, the token value are useless or the bounty hunters are dumping huge amount of tokens so investors will not want to keep them and sell as soon as they can to cut losses as soon as possible.

Ico is dead. Nobody wants to buy them due to the risk.

in any case, the company still has projects in the ico market in which investors are not afraid to invest their money. This is not a dead market ico company. The fact is that a correction may occur and fraudulent projects will become smaller.

The real question is who the hell was willing to buy ICO tokens at 3x the ICO price.
What's happening now is completely normal. The weird thing was the actual bull market behavior.
Nowadays people are expecting to get rich within a day after the ICO. Obviously that doesn't happen so they start to dump.
Not to mention bounty hunters dumping.

Price principally drop soon after listing or after ICOs because there are no underlying value for/of the tokens, most tokens are driven solely by speculation and new investors are unwilling to take the risks because they risks are higher than those of already established coins in the market.The era of truely security tokens for real companies will someday be a reality and we will hardly have dumps.

Not only fake coins, but even potential coin price is also dropping after listing in the exchange due to because people will sell for short-term profits and it will dump to below price but once with the activity from the team and their potential development will help the coin to increase its price.

The price increase usually happens only for a short time and then everything will return to its original position. We can not trust this market and many false information makes investors face many dangers when investing. The best advice is not to invest in ICO and should wait for Bitcoin to rise to $ 10,000

I think the decline in prices after ICO is a common thing. it happens when many people sell their assets after entering the market. other than that, an ICO can be seen successfully or not, when their project runs, and sometimes it lasts for 3 months later. well, maybe within 3 months, the price will return to normal.

Its better to purchase after ico or be an early ico investor 

The situation in cryptocurrency market determines to a large extent how newly listed token or coin will thrive.  It is not always good to launch a project or listed a coin during negative market condition!

That's true, unfortunately. Very little success stories lately and lots of projects shutting down or postponing their ICOs.

but if in my opinion it is not right to say that the bounty hunter caused the price of the token to drop after the ICO was finished, because after the ICO was finished to distribute gifts to the bounty hunter it would not immediately be given and had to wait after investors sold the token

Because of bounty and many bonuses of course

This is a myth about price drop because of bounty hunters) IMHO most ICO just too late with exchanges and roadmaps. So people tired from them and selling everything. Or promised great exchange and after that you can see them just on IDEX) Or for example look at fusion on bitfinex) They have no volume at all) And their price is not because of bounty hunters)

Are you a bounty hunter?

Anyway - there can be many reasons. Right now the major reason is the market situation. There just isn't enough people who want to buy and this driver the prices lower and lower.

You say that bounty hunters sell their tokens at cheap prices when finished ICO and drop prices on the market, does that make sense? so the allocation for the bounty hunters is very small. I'm not sure they can drop prices on the market.

It depends I guess. Some ICOs give more and some less for bounty programs. They might not be the reason 100%, but they certainly are part of the process.

Most of the time the coin that gained from bounty campaign done a great part on the price, yes the allocation from bounty campaign is too small it is about 2 to 5 percent of the total fund, but when the participants dump it, it will affect the price and also those investors ofcourse they will sell also their coin with their bonuses.

most of them are indeed carried out by campaign programs but the biggest role is probably carried out by investors. there are even some projects where the team itself does a dump, it becomes very annoying because there is no commitment from the developer to advance their project.

the earliest investors bought and got a big enough bonus, they were the first to sell on the market and the ICO team could also

there are several reasons why new tokens always go down when entering the market :

• less strong communities can cause price reductions, because they will rush to sell tokens when entering the market regardless of price, they forget to buy
• markets that are less supportive means that these tokens are registered in less well-known exchanges and have a low daily volume
• developers who are less experienced in the crypto field

This is something had never baffled me because I have a logical reason for dumps after ICOs. However, one thing that baffles me is that everyone tends to blame bounty hunters for those dumps when it truth they never get more than 2% of the tojens available for sale. The question is "how can that small a percentage have such great effect on proceedings". The logical reasoning is that dumps are largely caused by presale investors who have a lot to invest and could even get as much as 50% bonus. If some of them decide to dump, you can only begin to imagine the adverse effect this has on the market price of the tokens.

Look, there is nothing to be hidden. Token price is dropping because it has no demand and if token is dropping, then it should grow.
I would say that it is better strategy to purchase tokens after ICO, but only in case of low level of hype

Those things happens because so many ICO campaigns and their managers don't work with their coins after the enter to the market. This one reason why price dropping.

Some people say 80% the price was drop because of Bounty Hunter, but i have some project before the bounty reward was sended they got dumped for the price of token. The price drop because the product was not actualy release, just like have a token but stil cant use that.

Well, if the token price drops so much BEFORE the bounty participants are paid, then it can only be due to the early investors who usually get extreme bonuses.

I think that this is due to the general fall in the cryptocurrency market. Unfortunately all coins fall.

the answer is simple demand is less than supply in market, and investor trying to sell them asset for get profit and developer not buyback the token from market

Buying after the ICO seems like an ok idea. But, is it better to purchase after ICO or maybe in the early stages of ICO when there are big bonuses added? Which is cheaper? Haven't really done any research regarding that, but maybe someone has here?

There's no clear timing for that and got any assurance if ever you will take part while pre sale still ongoing or any stage of ico's where bonuses will be added nor with after ico's and dumped happened, as we continuously seen the bearish market everything will continue being puzzled to every investors
that will try their luck inside this market, you need a deeper research and a good analysis plus luck to come with you after you place in your investment.

Best to keep an eye with real usability of any tokens/projects that you will going to buy, as it will give you enough patience to hold and wait, knowing that there's progress to come and market will be better after.

I think the most realistic reason is because we are in bear market status I remember in 2016-2017 even if bounty hunters dump their tokens after a week or month price can really jump into 5-10x especially if the project is promising and even no actual product yet the market status is  really a big impact on ICO price once listed on exchanges. The only people who can earn good amount of money in ICO is the whales that bought on presale with 50% discount.  

It is mainly because investors do not see any quick progress, coin is not listed on the biggest exchange, even they raised 10 million $ or more and so on. Good ICOs never lost its ICO price.

All in a bunch gathered, the fall of the market, the fear of investors to remain without earnings, the lack of any prospects and many other bad things, while the negative attitude prevails, we will not see any improvement

Yes, most of the investors will sell them when the price increases and they won't look for long term profits. They have different plan based on seeing many fake ICO's they will sell them in the market for short term profits.

1) Bounty Hunters

2) Bearish market sentiment in Crypto markets in general continues, new investors are very cautious to enter at the moment

3) Project owners sometimes play games with their own currency to dump it to buy back much cheaper later...

The problem of token prices decreasing when the ICO is finished, of course, happens very often. And to make many people certainly disappointed and this is because many tokens are discarded after entering the market. But that is also influenced by the overall market price that has dropped.

maybe main problem is the decline in prices because indeed all coins are decreasing together, and second reason is because there are no enthusiasts of these coins and products that might not develop optimally / slowly

It is very common situation from the every ICO, because after listing in the exchange the coin price will decrease. The real price of coin will start increase with the active developments from the team. That's why some people will hold the coins until the price starts increasing again.

there are many reasons and reasons why today's average token can drop so much. and all of that in my opinion the reason is because the market is not good and my bonus is too big ico

The market decides what the price will be so don't rely on the ICO projects who projected their tokens like it's for .10 cents or $1. I've seen last year that magically goes 10x after it gets listed but it's very rare nowadays and they all just slide down whatever marketing they do.

it has become very natural if the token prices always fall far at the ICO price because usually they fall because of the bounty campaign participants who sell the results obtained and perhaps also from the project founders who do not provide full support to keep prices stable.

Yeah, pretty much this. It is just a bad time for ICOs in general.

Market gives a lot of impact to the ico too but the main reason caused by these icos can't provide a good market or attract the demand to buy their tokens . in fact that these coins need a lot of volumes to prevent the dumpers to make the price will stabilize.

many of the prices of ico tokens go down because they have not been in demand by people. most of those who do buying and selling activities on the market are part of their own community. whereas to involve people outside of that they must already have market products.

If they arent indemand the price will be stable but wont go down sharply . a dump means the price have decline too hard after a rise  .

Now if the token is dumping that maybe the cause when people ( investor and bunty hunters ) sold their tokens after it has been listed  .  this is usually normal in the case of ico's  .

I was also always interested in why the price at ICO does not correspond to the price after the exchange !? Unless administrators and developers can not immediately predict prices? It's amazing to me!

price is made as a reference for the ongoing ico, it is very important. most fell because they did not have a good product yet, and many even had not released finished products, not much market demand most of the coins owned by the community will definitely be sold in exchange, that makes the price break.

It is truth and I agree with you that those prices did not always match and it might be the fault of developers as most of the projects maybe overrated.  Also all the tokens and coins has witnessed this especially since last year and some of them has lose over 99% of the icos price.  I think it is important for projects developers to list there idea first and those ideas be rated before asking investors to come in.  Many people has lost Alot of money and valuable through icos investments and some of them are regretting.

The fact is that in the current state of the cryptocurrency market, very Interesting projects Do not want to conduct its company, because they are afraid of their results. It seems to me that the lack of investment attractiveness of Rymbayev companies also discourages many from the development of their projects. In this period.

yes it's true that often happens after the ICOs end I have an opinion about that, I think the price is down because their early investors get more bonuses than investors, maybe they sell their bonuses for profit, and people who buying when it's listing on exchanges they are doing a big mistake

This is very detrimental to investors. because indeed it happens to all ico after the market listing that happens is a very deep decline. like now many projects have dropped by more than 50%. this is very bad for ico. and also one of the reasons why today's investors are not interested in ico

Not all project fallen after ICOs even in this bad market. But mostly yes. The reason is because market was overvalued in 2017, beginnig of 2018. ANd some projects raising crazy money. But not is a good time to buy on exchanges good coin which much more cheapest than on ICO and have good potential.

many investors now do that. buying assets that are definitely in exchange is the choice they take to safeguard their money. while ico with these conditions many do not get investors and fail to do their ico.

Until now this is a problem that is often experienced. Of course, the good news is when the token will be registered in the exchange market. However, after the token was registered, the price immediately dropped because many of them threw away the token. This has been much anticipated by the project team. By not giving all tokens obtained, but given every month.

Many investors failed to realize that, thinking that project will come back after the dumped is a big no no, maybe there's some good project who able to bounce but most of them are still in a dumped side, there's no real money that will bring them up, not unless the bull market start to show and many new participants inside the market will comes up with new invested money.

Ico token price drops after ICO mostly due to private sales. Private sales participants get their token at a ridiculously los price do much bonus of which they can decide to sell at below the ico price and stil be in huge profit

You are lucky because you have been part of dumping project and not totally scam because more than 90% of those ICO are scammers and many of us here know about this system

If you been part of ICO you then better hold the coins/tokens if you think the project has a future but if there's none then sell them all before its too late

I have holding some coins in which beinh trapped in damping and now waiting if there will be a chance to profit in future

That the main purposes of the ICO now is for their own sake or to earn money from us. They don't have any plan so the token or the project down fastly and also the price of the token become cheap. Cause also the bounty hunters and also the other investors and most of that is because of the team.

Most of the ICO's are really taking time to finish. Of course, some of the investors are lack of patience that's why when the project or coin listed on the market they sell them. Including some bounty hunters who make the project successful. The value will just recover if it is listed on the popular trading market.

I think that it is the fault of the project team, which cant provide the promised price after the ICO. I believe that it is necessary to foresee and take measures to ensure that the price remains worthy.

In fact, the very principle by which the ICO market is ruled is nothing more than speculation, and it was to be expected that sooner or later a scenario such as the current one would occur, since there was no way to give long-term sustainability to so many projects that, in most cases, are no more than ethereal proposals without solid theoretical support, and without a market large enough to cover the capital needs that are usually very large in the type of technological proposals proposed by the majority of the ICOs.

Therefore, enough of absurd explanations and justifications. The ICOs should never have had the success that they had at the time, because the business model was never sustainable, and the big drops that usually suffer within a few days of being listed is a sign of that.

More than 90% of ICO projects are scams, and the scam doesn't end when the ICO ends, the teams keep dumping coins also when the exchange listing starts. Also, remember that a lot of ICO have pre-sale in privates rounds, those sales are done at a much lower price than you can buy tokens for in ICO.

This is what I think they can’t true to their promise about their project. Mosty after token sales the price went down, other’s selling early to earn at least. Their is really necessary steps to do before investing in an Ico never buy when you are not sure about the project since most Ico these days are scam.

In general, the reputation of the ICO project has been deemed defective by most cryptocurrency users especially by its investors, why's that because previously there have been several frauds in its implementation. So it's perfectly natural if in the end this thing leads to a decrease in the value of tokens because most of its users many of whom switch and leave the project. I think the ICO project or the like that will come later will not seem to get a single response anymore. All will return and hold on to the cryptocurrency that has real value.

It totally be dead if that certain project is full of scam and we can't expect that we will be earning profits from them.
In mostly cases that token prices may went down after listing because mostly all bounty hunters will sell their rewards in order to make money. It is not bad and it is their rights but selling it in low price below ICO will dragging it into dump and investors will suffer losses.

Nice great analysis an visualization but in own opinion the reason is after the rewards token sending by into individual and the price is in the high value they sell the rewa d quick that why their of icos project token are getting low value.

Bounty hunters are also dumping the price and private sales have less effect on dumping after getting listed on the exchanges in my humble opinion. Huge profit days are gone and no need to repeat the market cycle for me here.

Token price is dropping because they need to implement the development what they mentioned on the roadmap. Once after listing the price of a coin will increase in the market and drops due to the people who bought the coins at less price will start dumping for a good profit after listing the coin. There are multiple reasons for decreasing its value.

This is the reason why the price of a coin / token always drops after entering an exchange

• Give too many bonuses to investors
• hold a bounty with a large allocation
• entering the wrong exchange can also make prices go down because of the lack of demand for these coins / tokens, but many people want to sell

the market has not been perfectly formed, most of the ICO projects did not pay attention to that. most ICO token holders definitely want to sell and wait for buyers on the market. if the buyer does not exist and only buys at a lower price because the market is indeed still weak, then those who want to sell are forced to sell at a low price. therefore causing prices to decline.

Investors was holing a very important role in this case. When we are seeing the legit project and most of them are getting a lot of bonus that they will dump it instantly. there are some other reason for that too just like a partnership or advertising like bounty, etc.

In my opinion, the price of the token drops because the market does not respond to new coins because of the price of the whole coin that falls, or at the same time many new coins are traded on the crypto market so the choice for new coins is very small.
It is possible to enter the crypto market at the wrong time, which is caused by a lot of negative reporting about crypto money so investors are reluctant to invest while waiting for the right time, because crypto trading is strongly influenced by momentum.

I think token dump after listing is cause of some factors like when investors are given outrageous bonuses. Some projects gives bonuses like 90% and even 100%, which is virtually giving out the token freely. Secondly, if the project doesn't have a working product and convincing roadmap their is a great chance of dump. Then the quantity of token they give out freely in bounties or airdrop might contribute but this doesn't happen often.

bonuses is normal when you want to boost your pre sale, the most common factor is that, imagine the participants of a certain bounty program will sell all their coin simultaneously the result will really affect the price of a coin specially if the team behind it has no concrete plan to make further step for the success of the coin.

- Well, investors are really responsible for this issue when they are holding a lot of tokens, and if the price of the token drops, the biggest reason is still only them, except for them, maybe the developers of the project are the next characters that we should think of when they are the ones who directly create these tokens, they also hold a large number. Bounty hunters really is not too much involved in this story because the reward is always distributed very late and the quantity is very small, it is not enough to reverse the trend of a token

Today the market situation is very complicated. Many coins are much cheaper. I think that early investors can sell coins at low prices. They bought coins very cheap.

If we consider the development of ICO projects from the standpoint of economic laws, then it is quite obvious that the fall in tokens immediately after the end of ICO is associated with little demand or a complete lack of demand for the product of this project. In this regard, the project team should pay attention to the promotion of their product, advertising, or to encourage buyers of tokens. It is sometimes ridiculous to watch how developers accuse bounty hunters of lowering the cost of tokens, although I believe that the blame lies entirely on developers. They should interest their customers with their product. Bounty hunters are involved in popularizing the project to attract investment in it.

the market is still in a bear market. some air projects are sinking. but quality ICO is worth investing. Especially those ICOs with practical applications, in the real world.

The fact is that in a cryptocurrency market not only is in a bad condition, but also very unstable, because of which even promising projects have no opportunity for development.  Although Each of us understands that it is altcoin that is completely dependent on market conditions, at the same time how token depends on the perspective of the project and its relevance in society.

I don't think it's that big an issue, as we are often talking about tiny volumes. If a coin sells $10 million at ICO at $1 a coin, and then the coin starts trading and drops to $0.10 - but there is only $1,000 volume per day, then it means that most people are just holding for the longer-term. If a coin has a price of $0.10, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can buy thousands of dollars' worth at that price - often you'd exhaust the order book very quickly.

In addition, you also need to find out how many tokens are allocated to the team, advisors, and marketing, because often this amount is measured in large amounts, tens of millions of dollars. After entering the exchange, this volume of tokens goes to the market and begins to be sold. The price of the token falls to a low level, because these tokens were not bought, but were received for providing services or for work, and this leads to price dumping.

This problem is very confusing because the price decline almost occurs in all ICO projects. Many parties blame each other about the causes of the decline in ICO coin prices. However, I thought that I would not sell ICO coins at lower prices. It's better to stay patient and wait for the price of the coin to rise again.

Lots of reasons for that and I think the main reason is there is no huge stability on any tokens that is the reason to drop suddenly in this investment and the products need to be more trusted but in this time lots of scams had been playing the role of this situation.

And also most people who pick up  tokens intend to dispose or sell then right away after they get listed so for most of these tokens, there' really little chance of taking off even in the long run. And for those that do survive initial sell off by holders, it may take years before the project gets attention and starts to have actual value.

It is because most of the people need very fast money after investing, so they will start selling the coin once it is listed on the exchanges and due to bounty hunters, the price of a coin will decrease. The coin price will start increasing once the completely start following the developments along with the roadmap.

this is normal, bro, if in my opinion the tokens or coins that have entered the stock exchange will definitely experience a very severe dump due to the large amount of selling, this will affect investors who experience huge losses. so we must be careful to invest in ico

you are right, sometimes they sell bonuses, or all tokens they have when the token has been listed to a market. That is a natural thing, seeing some investors who want to use a good ICO to seek profits. however, I think that is a common thing, and if the developer is good, the price will recover.

Therefore, many investors have long abandoned ICO, instead investing in projects through IEO. I know one promising existing project that is already in a few days you will begin to sell the tokens through the IEO. Read about it https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5136520

Yield at 600% per annum is it true? We are talking about this project http://gexan.io ?

Many factors will affect the yield, if we consider specifically the project GEXAN, information about the start of trading is to look at the exchange https://p2pb2b.io/token-sale/GEX

Ofcourse the blame is always put to the bounty hunters but ths truth is?the investors who is becomd the dumpers becausd fron the very beginning they don't really support the project instead all they want is to profit from the project and not to trust the growth of each token s or coins

Today, few people have a desire to invest in ico company.  So in any case, coin prices will fall, I am without investors and Bounty Hunters.  Today, the market is not in very good condition and if there is a green color on the market, then this is by no means for new projects.

the price changes according to demands. if the people that bought from ico wants to sell their tokens and if there is not enough buyers, the price drops. or if the team tokens were not locked, they can dump it easily.

I believe that new projects can also be promising. Only now investors began to invest more carefully. After ICO, tokens fall due to resetting by members of the Bounty and other campaigns.

I agree with your opinion, bro, because the price of ico does not match the profit after entering the Exchange because there are many sales from bounty hunters and investors who make tokens will fall ...
