There is a difference between and IPO, and ICO. That being if an investor participates in an IPO you own part of the company as a stock. On the other side of the spectrum, if an investor takes part in an ICO, you own a digital asset coin, that is issued by the company. Usually, the currency is some sort of utility token with its own specific role in the company's ecosystem trading between i.e a consumer, a content-maker and an advertiser.

The increasing demand rises the intrinsic value of the currency sometimes by tousands of percentage. To put this into perspective, the highest performing stock in the S&P 500 rose only 132% in 2017. Whist the top 20 best performing ICO’s rose by an incredible 20,000%. These kind of gains are never guaranteed and can come with a lot of price volatility.

This would be the worst time to invest in ICOs because the whole market is rubbish. I reckon many of the ICOs would be more vulnerable to market crashes now and their founders more willing to become scammers and run away and take whatever they can than lose it all.

Or maybe they might find a way to make it look like they ran out of ICO funds or something hehehe.
