Is it normal for ICO prices to drop once they're listed on the exchange?

[CryptoAlphaStar]

Usually it is, beacause there is nothing interesting ahead. Just months, if not years of hard work from the dev team. So hodlers hodl and price doesn't do much before the team delivers some progress and news.

I think the founders of that ICO is not the case. As I see it, its the fault of some bounty hunters on that ICO. Thats the disadvantage, because they get lots of tokens and when it hits on the exchange, those bounty hunters only aims for a quick buck and they didnt consider the price of that token. So as an investor its a big loss. For me that I have experienced that, I am not participating in ICO. I only buy that coin when it hits on the market because I know many foolish hunters only aims for a quick buck and not the functionality of that coin.

it is a normal thing if token price drop after listed on exchange.
first, investor usually bought them with bonus. and the investors sell it later with no bonus but lower price from ICO.
and if the ICO company have not launch the products of their development, the price won't rise.

[sharkpc2000]

That's perfectly normal. The fact is that many ICO no one believes. Only want to earn, so buy and then sell

[Crytptomeniac]

It is normal for the prices to drop after being listed on exchanges because it actually takes a bit of time for the coins to gain traction and start being traded which is where the value of the coin starts from. So what you should do is hold on to your coins because your coins being listed on exchanges means that the coin is going somewhere and prices will get better.

[Coltpython]

No its not normal at all. I remember when ETN had their ICO. There was a lot of buzz around it at the time. Many people bought into it and when it finally listed on an exchange the price went up above its initial ICO price despite speculations from some quarters that it would dump. The coin still did close to x10 (if not more than) before it started dipping as a result of the red market we've been experiencing since December.

It may be normal or not, if there is no demand for the token and if bounty hunters dump the token it could drop below ico price and also it may drop due to crashing market.

[vicvicto17]

It's like you destroying na ourcome of the company and it's useless for bounty hunters to dump all of it. If you have a quality project then hold is very required. Im not selling anything in my wallet I just sell it when bull run comes.

[jbautistangina]

Yes it is normally what will happen if most of the investors and hunters dumped that token,which is why we need to hold our tokens until these people are done dumping huge amount of supply.I am giving 6months period from each tokens that i have received from bounties and ICOs so that i could maximize the potential profits from these campaigns.

[merkuriya]

From my experience the ones that tanked after the ICO are generally the overly hyped ones with huge bounty campaigns and/or bonus structures like Monetha and Kickcoin.   The under the radar projects with verifiable businesses and teams generally go up after the ICO as people start to learn about them after they hit the market.

This is the most practical advice for you OP and I completely agree to this. I also think that genuine projects will benefit from listing and grow because of promotion from current investors.

[btccrusher]

Yes, its normal to dump the price when coin get listed for the first time. After a few weeks, they should improve their position. There are some points to remember, in every project, you'll see some panic sellers. Some get's free coins from Airdrops, some get from bounties. Most of them sell coins when they get time the first time, this makes the new listed coin price down.

[Swenna]

It is normal for the price of a coin to drop, especially if it is just recently listed. People who had received their coins tend to dump it during the first day, since they fear for a bigger loss in case the price drop. This belief is mainly because of the competition in the market and rhe fact that a new coin hasn't really fully established itself in the market that is why it is difficult to gain a continuous increase in coin price.

[Crasengover]

The most common situation when a coin is traded below ICO price right after the listing is because huge bonuses for private or presale investors. I knew several projects which offered up to 100% bonus for early investors. So they get their profit even selling far below ICO price. That's why I usually check if a project gave any bonuses on presale.

[zero4five]

The reason for the decrease in the price of the coin bought at ICO is that after the coin is released to exchanges, early investors and bounty hunters (and other ones which received tokens as payment for preparing and promoting ICO) are actively selling it. Many investors bought coins with large discounts (50% or more) and even selling below the price of the ICO, can get a good profit.

[berezov_petro]

I think the main reason for the fall in coin prices after entering the stock market is Bounty hunters. After receiving coins for their work, they want to sell their coins very quickly and make a profit. Therefore, when they sell a large number of coins, the price goes down immediately.

[dimonarka]

Hello, an interesting question, the fall in the rate of the token after the ICO is a normal phenomenon since many tokens are sold by the bounty program participants thereby lowering the token's rate down, it is necessary to wait until the course stabilizes, and then trade the tokens

[GrandBcn]

Have you ever seen anything normal in a crypto world? In my opinion, everything is not normal, changes rapidly, develops very fast, falls and rises. It's like an increased synthesis.

The price of ICO really falls after listing on the stock exchange. However, if in a team people who have a brain and they really value their project, they give out coins gradually. First of all, small buyers receive it. Then a month later - the average buyers, then later - bounty participants. Even after 3 months unlock the tokens of large investors and only a year later - coins that belong to the developers. With such a chain, the price does not collapse catastrophically. It fluctuates and in general even shows growth, sometimes large.

And, if all coins are thrown out at once, and the project itself is not very promising and reliable. That fast trade will simply bury it in its very inception.

[Jeepney_koh]

So it seems a lot of ICO's are running with $1 per coin during the ICO - but then dropping well below that price once they're listed on an exchange.

Is this a normal thing for an ICO at least initially while they're working on getting their project fully operational?

Are they setting the $1-$2 a coin so they can make sure they're fully funded to get the project started and on it's way vs trying to sell shares for pennies or dimes?

But why wouldn't the price of an ICO hold at what that price was?  Just because initial founders are dumping their coins to get some cash out and forcing the hand/price to go down based on supply & demand?

It is very normal and this happens everytime. If you observe, many ICOs have really low price once they are listed because many bounty hunters have suddenly and immediately sell their coins once they receive it.

[costgranda]

Recently the majority of ICO projects after listing on the exchange become cheaper in comparison with ICO price. I consider that it is connected with falling of all cryptocurrency market. Now there aren't enough projects which after listing give profit to investors at once. Therefore now it is necessary to approach the choice of ICO attentively more than ever earlier not to lose the money!

Bounty hunters are small part and hardly they can cause price to go down.
Early investors(pre ico) are receiving bonus and probably that is the reason why price drops down.
