Future of ICOs?

[gcbjk]

ICO is a financial mechanism innovation that essentially improves the crowdfunding model of the Internet because it combines very powerful kinetic energy with TOKEN (Token/Token). Although most ICOs are now built on the blockchain smart contract system such as Ethereum, ICO can be applied to Internet projects without blockchain technology.
According to the cryptocurrency industry media CoinDesk, the global ICO financing in the first quarter of 2018 was US$6.3 billion, which is 118% of the global ICO financing in 2017. The average round of financing scale and financing speed of ICO projects in the first quarter also exceeded that of the past. The number of ICOs in the quarter was 59% of the whole year of 2017.
The Japanese government clarified the virtual currency as a means of payment in accordance with the revised "Financial Arithmetic Algorithm" and required the registration of the trading institution; although the legislation did not specify the ICO issue, it was based on the FSA's in October last year. A statement, "ICO may be regulated by the "Financial Arithmetic Algorithm" or "Financial Commodity Exchange Act," depending on the structure of the ICO project." If an ICO project has the characteristics of an investment product, purchase tokens through virtual currency Actually, it is equal to the purchase of currency. This kind of ICO project will be regulated by the Financial Commodity Exchange Act. In addition, in countries that allow "sandbox supervision" pilots, such as the United Kingdom, Singapore, Australia and other countries, ICO projects may first apply to enter the regulatory sandbox for testing. Any existing regulatory agency must fully obtain ICO regulatory authority and must obtain the authorization of the legislative authority. It is not ruled out that some countries or regions will have special legislation on ICOs in the future. As ICO projects are inherently global in nature, cross-border regulatory cooperation may be an important trend.

What do you think is future of ICOs? Where do you see this in next 5 years?

The future if ICO will be good if there are strict rules applied to operates. so that scam ico will never exist again in the future.
if all ICO are legit, i am sure that the investors won't be afraid to invest on many ICOs

Future of ICOs varies from ICO to ICO, some of them really have chance to go to exchanges, some are scams obviously. I personally invested in several ICOs some of them went to exchange and brought profit, some of them failed, but now I have experience to identify good ideas and projects. My favorite ICO of April is Ambit Mining ICO, very promising one. So let us see, how it will go.

ICO less and more quality. Nowadays many fraudulent ICOs are born all over the market, they have scammed a lot of people, in my opinion we should not invest in ICO projects to buy the coins were exchanged. thus being less risky and potentially earning higher returns from the Crypto market.

When there is a chance though somehow to guarantee that the project is really going to go to the stock,
but I will support the idea of ​​new and qualified ICO technology that has good regulation

According to ccn.com, in the future, there will significantly be fewer ICO with weak projects backing them up. The remaining ones would likely be tech startups raising funds to develop innovative ideas and projects. The rest of the market would gradually move towards STO (Securities Tokens Offering) who have "more mature and proven businesses".

I think that number of ICOs will be reduced and more demands will be made for new projects. Now investors are very at risk, but over time there should be changes that will positively affect this sphere.

[dreadfullICO]

ICOs are essential part of crypto market, it is impossible to imagine its development without ICOs, so I think they will exist, but maybe more regulated, and changed somehow.

[CryptoTech_]

more and more new ICOs are emerging, with big visions and missions, but not least ending in SCAM, and I fear that will make investors reluctant to invest in ICO again, and make ICO's future shattered, but I hope it will never happen

[UNIFOX.IO]

ICOs will be polarized. Good and valuable projects will raise (hundreds) millions of dollars within minutes/hours while bad projects wont raise anything. Its going to be tougher and tougher

[Reez]

I see the future of ICOs in the dumpster in five years and I will be very happy if it happens. The current ICOs are dirtying the crypto markets with the rampant scams running, most of the projects failing and not even able to survive or come up with a working product. The ICOs are making the new users afraid of crypto currencies who have lost their money in ICOs.

[deviltasha]

If we think that crypto market will develop we should understand the importance of ICOs. So I think they will exist, but I guess there will be less scams, as people will be more experienced and will not invest in bad projects.

[giogio0504]

It depends on the project, in some cases I see todays ICOs as coins at the exchange, and some will fail in the nearest future.

[dpoisoner]

I think  ICOs will be even more important . This the future will be social significant, than today. There will be new rules, but it's for the best.

[thanhphank34]

ICO in 2018 is the ICO of the team which they have the product already. Besides the fundraising via VC, ICO the best way for start-up community.

[zenki0906]

ICO's might not be gaining much attentions for the next 5 years, because of the SCAM ICO's that has victimized many crypto traders (noobs).

After 5 years that there ICO concluded , I think they are already delisted in exchanges because most of them are successful at first but in long term , no more updates and no more progress or development.

[altsMlk]

I think this is the last year of the golden age of ICOs. Today ico programs run without any regulation and transparency. difficult to discover the behind team's real info. So Much scams there. I think Icos will not go to the end, But will be regulated with governments. We know governments can not regulate crypto but Icos.

[annicketucufaw]

We can say that ICOs are innovation of bitcoin. New technology created related to bitcoin with advance and more convenient to use. It will be hard for them to be recognize now but in the near future I know that they can overtake bitcoin.

[hunnykaushal]

I think we need more regulations on ICO's and we will see it in future.

We need a platform to avoid scam ICO's to keep people safe from scammers.

So i think more regulations can be added to ICO's in future.
