If ICO Fails, Then what happen next?

[confreslamp]

If you had luck and have not participated in a scam project, you will get your funds back to your wallet and the project is going to switch the funds collection method. Please be careful and always check the projects before taking part in them.

This is the problem of the ICO investors for 2018, there is a lot of failed ICOs because of them didn't reach the soft and/or hard caps. If ever the ICO failed, supposedly funds should be returned to the investors. But, since some ICOs were scam, there were incidence that didn't return any amount. This is the problem of unregulated ICOs.

Some of them gonna be exit scam, and some will give your fund back.
That's why you must doing research before invest on ICO cause it's needed to avoid exit scam.

It really affect the vision of crypto as well as the trust and confidence of the people specially for investors.  Basically we do business if we know we can make money on it but participating failing ICO will certainly give losses to us. It is better to invest on existing coin in the market as it have a big assurance of gaining rather that to invest into newly created.

Simply the project is also fails. As the team has not the enough capital to carryover the project. No money , no end product.

But in this case, the developers must return the money to investors? Am I wrong? But very often it happens that people developers do not return anything. It is terrible that there are no measures of influence.

If the ICO is unsuccessful, that is, the team will not be able to collect the soft cap, then the money will have to be returned to investors, but this will only happen if the ICO is not a fraud.

Well if they refund the money from the investor would be good, but the asshole ICO for me its whent they raised the money. They not making a refund and they not take care the project leaving the project without exchange. That was really rekted for me.

[Bomber007]

Some failed ICOs returns the funds of investors but not all of them are so generous, some of them just simply disappear into thin air, that is why people tend to invest in projects that already hit softcap.

[Diva1993]

What happens to your money depends on if the ICO was legit or not, if it was a legit ICO project, they would refund your money but if it isn't a legit one, you would lose your invested funds, they might just refuse to send it back

[malphite534]

Some of ico if they don't meet the minimum amount they need for their project they refund all money that invested on their project and don't pay bounty hunters.

[makerst]

If the ICO is unsuccessful, that is, the team will not be able to collect the soft cap, then the money will have to be returned to investors, but this will only happen if the ICO is not a fraud.

That's exactly what we are talking about here, because in most cases it turns out that fraudsters do not send anything to people and therefore people simply do not understand what is happening on the market today and lose faith in investing at all.

[Outlander]

From now on, I have encountered the ICO project. Even if the funds raised do not reach the soft top, the project party will not tell you clearly that they have failed, and it is even more unlikely that a refund will occur. So investing in ICO projects needs to be treated with caution.

[cryptomaster420]

some of the ico that I followed 2 of them failed ico but the two ico returned investors' funds, so if you want an investment I suggest looking at the team so that if something happens your funds can be saved

There is nothing to do. The only thing you can count on is that the team will decide to give some money, because in most cases they don’t give anything. I think that the best thing is just not to pay attention to it and not to grieve if they do not give anything away.

I mean every ToS basically states that the risk is on you, and you can't invest without agreeing with them. At least that was the case with the 5-ish ICO-s I've participated in.
I can't believe people expect that they'll get their money back.
Most startups fail. ICO startups even more so, because there's also scammers in the space.
In my experience, if you DYOR you might be extremely happy with the ICO-s performance, my LINK investment kept me happy throughout this bear market in particular.

[Nivelir]

If you noticed today, indeed, many ICO projects can not collect anything, and if they collect then in total, now big funds will invest fiat money in new projects. I think the ICO time is coming to an end.

[naruto7676]

Once ICO failed lot of project Like that refunding money of investors and don't even paiding bounty hunters by promoting on their project.

[shoupengyangguang]

This is hard to say, I know that many ICOs did not return anybody's money after the failure, and soon their team disappeared. There are also a few ICOs that may refund your money, but this is very rare.

[Lubang Bawah]

Currently there are hundreds of ICO live, this makes the ICO competition too tight, so many ICOs fail to reach softcap, if ICO fails, surely those responsible will refund investors' money but unfortunately they don't refund and become a scam.

[rippar]

If ICO failed, the next step is the process of refund of investors. Bounty hunters receive nothing for their job, and it's a pity, because they have worked for nothing.

[givary]

Many ICO fails and they do not return investor investment money. Of course, this is fraud and this clearly makes a loss for many investors. It would be nice if before investing do research.

[marcitosi]

you just lose your money so you need to choose startups in which you want to invest in the cryptocurrency market very carefully
