• 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

This is a common practice. The cryptocurrency market is very volatile and they simply could not stick to its conditions.

Of course you're right. At the same time, investors pawn this risk at the time of investment. If you count the statistics on the growth of the market for this period, then you will understand that it was more than voiced by 46%

This area is relatively new and it is not surprising that many ICOs have failed.I think that in the future this situation will change and everything will be more successful

[digitalmind]

ICO with coins not integrated into the ecosystem are most likely to fail

I have read the article, but I would expect also to get some more data about which ICOs exactly have failed, etc. Giving numbers with no data neither references is of very little use.

Well that is what happens when there is so much hype around ICOs that so many useless and badly setup projects come to life. That is also why I think it's a good thing to regulate around ICOs, because it will allow only the more legit projects t survive giving them more chance to make it in the end.

Markets needed regulators, I mean only for ICOs because their KYC it's nothing. 2018 year will show to us which ICO from 2017 is scam.

New investments are increasing day by day. I think the crypto currency market has lost confidence for this reason. Particularly fake projects are badly affecting people's view of this market. For ICOs, a number of systems should be established to control the realization of the infrastructure or the legal arrangement of these ICOs. Of the 10 new projects I followed, 7 did not succeed in 1 year. Instead of generating unnecessary projects in this way, I think stronger crypto currency should be uncovered with serious partnerships.

Yeah, I've seen this article. I guess it's a common statistics for startups. Mostly people don't notice these failures because experienced guys are able to move the capital from one project to another on time.

     Oh well, this is the sad truth, nothing we can do about it. This is something that we can obviously say that is completely out of our hands/control. This is why having the proper knowledge and the effort to read the details of every ICO you want to invest in is very important. Because if you invest blindly, you will most likely fail and lose a lot of capital instead of earn a lot of profits. Now, for those who have invested already and are at a loss, just go all in and forget about you coins that are already color red. just move on and don't sell, leave it for a while, who knows? It may go up in value in the future. But you have to know if that coin is still worth holding so please do keep reading and search for latest news about the coins you are currenty holding from these various ICOs.

46% is a big lose for ico's...devlopers  should'nt declare a ico before  knowing the magnitude of the attention directed to their idea

[Cacaparg]

to my mind it is a good statistic because  if we compare traditional business, after first 2 years 75% of enterprises suffer bankruptcy, and 30-40% of left - suffer bankruptcy after next 5 years

This is indeed the sad truth and been always part of the risk when we do make investment into these particular ICO. Dont go for long term if you arent sure into projects capabilities because not all projects would able to sustain for long term and most of them do only pump for few times then hard dump on forever which would really result into such failure.As an investor we should really be ready into this kind of scenarios to be experienced.If you are careless enough then expect this would really happen to your folio.

Yes, I also see positive moments in this negative topic. This means that 54% of the projects still live and continue to develop. In my opinion, this is definitely not bad.

There's no guarantee that every ICOs will be have a successful launch because it's not about the effectiveness of the project but also a gameplay of overall factors like marketing and developments.
Most ICOs that were failed due to lack of staff and marketing because most ICOs and projects are not yet fully developed due to funding issues.

In my bounty campaign experiences, I've been in a lot of failed bounty campaigns although they have a very good projects but they were not earning good investments due to lack of marketing or their social communities is not really into growing.
That's why some ICOs aren't even hit their soft capitals and fail to continue.

At the end of January and early February, I invested in several ico projects, which are currently losing money. I am very disappointed that the ico market is no longer easy to make money.

[winspiral]

What is really meaned about failed?
it is hard to say "failed" about a project.
For example...who can say my ICO failled or will failled  and on wich criterias?

[eelectrick]

It really is unfortunate to have these coins fail, the statistics alone will grow more
over the next few months as soon as they get listed, some of them will never get that
chance to be listed in the first place. The probability for failure is an indication that
a lot can really happen even with strong and promising projects backing them up.
Maybe they lack strong structure and financial support, nonetheless weak ICOs are
filtered by or through the process of failure to meet standards and requirements,
where they end up being unapproved on their applications. That is just how things
work I guess, It's survival and luck.

[mobilazy]

Definitely not bad. For venture funds investors 1of10 is enough to be highly successful. ICO is similar. If 1of10 gives you 100x return, it will make up for a loss of other 9. I'm sure out of this 54% only 10% further survive.
