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

[nik9990]

The all bounty hunters sell coin after they listing on exchange, but have some examples were coin was up, for example Cindicator

Usually they do but then again they recuperate after a few weeks

When you 'normal' that could mean so many things. When ICO hit the exchange , the price can be affected in many ways than one! The bounty hunter may drop their share and some investor might also want to take profit especially if there is any gain to be taken. But many ICO i have seen this year move 10 times immediately they are on exchange e.g powr,eos etc.

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?

Really. These days, many icos allocate a reasonable amount to the bounty hunters and then when they throw the coin in the market all those who have won for free their tokens fall without everything without thinking twice and this ends up pulling the price of the down allied currency we also have disbelief of the currency investors recently launched in the exchanges many people are left behind before investing any amount and choose to wait until it stabilizes in a standard price to later buy.

In fact, it's quite normal. There are many speculators in the ICO market today. Many people think about selling the ICO after the exchange, so the price will fall.

[Lipe490]

ICO should really low the amount paid as bounty to the members. Actually I am seeing people investing on ECR20 tokens just for pumping asap when hit the exchanges. Binance is one of them, because they are listing every damn token there and once it is listed, the pump happens but  you will not want to see what comes after.

[Jafri101]

Yes, this happens very often, due those two reason:

1. Bounty hunters are dropping their tokens instantly after they get it without looking at price

2. ICO have mid-to-low success and people don't want to buy token until they see some project development.

I agree with you that many bounty hunters wait eagerly for the coin to be listed on an exchange to sell their free earned tokens and get bitcoin/ethereum/cash in exchange. So the dev plays it quite well dumping the coin initially and after 2,3weeks it mentain to follow the roadmap.

Of course, not ALL the bounty hunters sell their rewards, but it is normal situationn when prise drops for some tima right after the ICO, and if the project itself is good, I think it`s good time to buy the coins cheaper than ICO price

Always after completion of ICO and the release of the tokens to the exchange, their price falls sharply due to the fact that many bounty hunters sell them for quick profits. Investors then need to wait a long time when the tokens will make a profit.   

[JohnnyScience]

it's very normal for prices to drop. you'll find that most bounty holders will drop which in turn drops the price but you tend to find people that have been following the projects then buy in at low prices and look at holding longer term until the prices stabilise.

These are EXACTLY the opportunities I am looking for.  There are a handful of VR/AR related coin ICO's happening right now and I will be waiting and ready to buy them all when they drop on the exchange and hold for long term.

Thanks for the clarification guys.

Also, I need to get in on this bounty program, sounds awesome lol.  Is there a lot of "work" behind getting these free tokens?  Every ICO will have free bounty tokens?  What is usually required to acquire these freebies?

[niisarearning]

Yes it’s true because of some factors it’s really depends on project even much successful projects on 2017 the coins price was very less once it hit to exchanges .Reason I observed
1) There will be short term investors who will take profit once hit to market.
2) presale investors who will be selling bonus coins initially
3) bounty hunter selling their coins or token to get wages for their work .
If you really believe in any project atleast wait for 6 months then see the magic.

It's not normal ofcourse but it become a common situation nowdays. The project collect too much money or they are oversold that make it hard to create a demand on the exchange after launch. It's a different situation to stocks because at crypto most people only want to go short and they don't want to hold for a long time so the supply always bigger.

[ir.hn]

The more concentrated coins are in a few hands, the higher the risk of dumps lowering price.  If each person only owns 1% or less of the total amount of coins, the risk of a dump are very low.

I haven't tried participating in ICO's yet but I am a bit exposed since a friend recently participated on Electroneum's ICO which got a problem on their security after the ICO so all has been locked down and they weren't able to access their tokens. After the issues were solve and the website was launched again a lot of investors withdrawn their token that caused the price to go down. Can't really blame the investors as their trust for the company was tainted.

Anyway, yes. It is really normal for ICO's to drop price because some investors prefers to profit in an instant rather than hold so most often they dump these tokens when it's available to trade in exchangers.

Yeah but if you believe in the project that is a great thing and a great time to buy.  Oyster dropped after the ICO followed by an 800% rebound before stabilizing.  Just invest and hold the coins.

Yes I completely agree and this is my plan.  Someone mentioned a 6 month window after the ICO when prices will be low - I will be buying certain coins as heavy as I can for the next 6 months.

We're just getting started ladies & gentlemen!

[marriams]

It is normal if the economy of the project is not designed properly. If the founders/company tokens are not locked with controlled dilution. And if the project is not serious and not meeting the announced deadlines.

[RodneyKings]

I agree. If you really believe that an ICO will make it big in the crypto world before buying it then you have the reason to hold it till the end. Hope all ICO's are able to bounce back after they are released in the market.

[Irvinn]

Most new tokens, as soon as they hit the stock exchanges, immediately fall sharply in value. Here the same mechanism works as the bitcoyne rate increase, only to the contrary. The bitcoat rate is growing because the demand for it is sharply increasing. Here, the majority of the holders of new tokens, knowing the trend of lowering their value due to the sharply increasing supply, are trying than to quickly drop their tokens, while they have not yet fallen too far in value. A sharp drop of such a significant number of tokens immediately leads to a decrease in their value. It takes approximately 6 to 8 months, even up to a year, before these tokens begin to gain value if the project turned out to be successful. If the project is unsuccessful, not thought out and not prepared, the tokens will never increase in price.

Bounty hunters and people looking for a quick buck often dump right away also, this should be expected.
