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

this is normal for projects with weak background. Bounty hunters dump the tokens because they didn't pay anything, plus pre-ico token owners payed only part of the price, so first investors on exchange cannot do anything with this

If all the market is in a bad period and every coin is going down then it is normal because it doesn't matter if it is a new or old coin or how popular it is because every coin goes down when bitcoin starts to go down. If the market is green and prices are moving slowly upwards then it's not normal at all for the price to go down and this means something goes wrong.

Yes it is normal,as you can see most of the investors are dumping the supply,added by some bounty hunters that causes a lot of problems to the token's value.That is why i am going to dump these coins after these people dumped their tokens so that i could maximize the profits ,you should be having some grace period when you are going to take profits with the ICO tokens.

Well I think it is just uncertainties due to the market volatility of the cryptocurrencies. It do usually happen that the ico price is bigger than the price of a token upon being released in the market which yields to partial loss of profit of the ico investors. But after a couple of months, the price of the ico tokens are increasing so holding ico tokens still is advisable.

Majority of the tokens are not great projects too and they will eventually die off, if the project is solid the price will increase in the future, even if the bounty hunters sell off the coins and we usually see the price going down when it enters the exchange, but there is a sell off from the team too, it all depends upon how good the team behind the project .

It should take the more time to go, I was holding some coins and I haven't sold them all because there were so many thing need to be considered just like so many bounty hunters were still in awaiting list to dump their coin. I just take more time until the price will be recovered again.

It totally depends on the market.

The last three months, it has been normal for coins to drop to very low prices.
That is because the overall market has been very sluggish and icos have not been raising that much money.
They then release on smaller exchanges (big exchanges cost a lot of money to be listed on) where there is no volume so the price just drops.

However, in a bull market situation, newly listed coins can get pretty insane, especially the very day they are listed.
Take Appcoins for example.
They did their ico right in the middle of last nov./dec. bull run and sold out pretty fast.
They were then able to be listed on binance and the price was skyrocketing to $2 to $3 per coin (ICO price was around .15 cents I believe).

So for now, I would be hesitant to jump in on icos.

The market is showing signs of growth, so if you find an incredibly solid project that will end their ico around end of may or early june, than that could be good timing.
