46% of last year's ICOs have failed already

Sad news but true. There's a lot of ICO's with bounty campaigns here ended up failing halfway, halting their marketing campaigns because of some problems. They don't say it but I think they are lacking funds to run the campaign and the project. I guess people are really craving for something unique to invest their money in to nowadays

I agree with this because most of the ICOs last year are not trustworthy. ICO become a trend last year that most of them are just acquiring funds through desprate investors who need to gain profits because of the bitcoin's price drop. This make the ICOs reputation low but on the other hand, investors now is much aware about the future of the ICO they are investing.

I somehow expected it to be a lot higher than 46%... if you look at overall business after securing some funding how many fails in the first year, i would expect more than half?

• 46% of them are effectively dead already – despite raising over $104 million.
• 902 crowdsales... 142 failed at the funding stage and a further 276 have since failed

Yes i work in almost 5 campaign only 1 paid my signature campaign. Why this people doing that kind we are expecting a payment because we work very hard to advertise their coins.

Coins in the cryptocurrency world always up and down, before we join in bitcoin for serious reason like invest we must know about that case first. That is risk for all of the bitcoiners. So its all about the risk, but there are a lot of ico who have good future too

ICO's aren't the same as how they were a couple of years ago.  Many have dropped below ICO price levels.  There will be a few that will produced huge returns but those will be rare and will take a lot of patience.

I know DADI has been one of the hyped project very recently and sold out within 10 minutes. It's on exchanges now with a price less than its ICO.   At this rate, better not to jump in to WANCHAIN  with high price, it will comedown anyway after couple of days.

Most likely 90% of ICO are scams.

If they did not do a fair adoption thru PoW , they were just money grabs.

Investments in ICO are associated with a large number of risks, since this area is not regulated. There are both trade risks (a decrease in the price of tokens or a drop in the value of the cryptocurrency, the bankruptcy of the company, etc.) and non – trading-in particular, ordinary fraud. 70% of the investment is vanished in the thin air. It is necessary to regulate this area.

I repeatedly got on some kind of standing projects that could not even earn a soft cap and those coins or tokens that I received were simply nothing.

Wait a second. How did those 276 ICOs failed? Because they are not x10 or x100 already? You gotta give time to the project developers. The 142 ICOs that failed during the ICO phase, it's not necessarely a fail for the investors, as, I assume, the got their money back.

[czhen]

most of the ico fail due to many factors ranging from funding, bad ideas, wrong strategies, unprofessional teams and more and more ico scam makes people afraid to join into ico and in the end 50% of many ico fail.
I think it needs more repair either for organizers ico or any party that supervise.

The market is unregulated and full of scams or project who are just after money.
This is because people are blindly investing without even reading the ANN, warnings, WP, etc.

From my 2017 stats, only 10% the ICO's I invested in are failures.

[vincentong17]

What ICO's are you reffering? maybe this ICO's are lending platform might as well give us website or coins that are not exist anymore. So that our viewers will aware on it. But for sure some ICO's are good for long term and it should be well develop.

[pugi2]

Unfortunately yes. I have 4 coins bought on different ICOs last year. For each was spent 1 Ethereum, totaling 4 Eth. Now they all four together cost almost 1 Ether. But others were quite successful, even after I sold some, they continued to grow.

This is the risk of joining ico. It can be dead but it can rise too and nake huge profit.
46% is smaller amount rather than the rumor so far around 99%. In other side we are happy that the statistic only show 46% instead of 99%. But 46% also very high percentage so its not good enough

It is inevitable. 46% per cent of failing ICOs is not that bad, IMO.

[Javanewstar]

This is the investment of the ICO project risk, most of the ICO project without any value, only the meaning of hype, so when after the hype, the project to stop development is also a very normal thing.

[hanlieuiypm9832]

wow, that is really a very high number, but I can see some projects are still working though the price is much lower than the ico price, I think maybe they do  not fail, they just need more time to recover.

Lolz! Thats what makes me think that ICO are going to make us bankrupt soon enough. They are the one who are putting the shame on crypto currencies face. Off course why bank wont abuse the blockchain system if this continues in other way round. Failed 46% ICO is huge number as this means the money was almost equal robbed one from investors like us and it never circulated for the further developments. Thus, no development, no product and hence no launch of it for the selling and buying purpose. This explains how the chain failed further considering the economic circulation from investment to the product launch in the market.

Statistics is a cruel thing   but this is our reality.  This is why we should learn every day,  in order to be able to figure out such projects and stay away from them.
