Decentralized exchanges killing ICO/Tokens

[tonyosa]

I noticed that ICOs that list their tokens on decentralized exchanges can hardly have those tokens hit the ICOs price. Almost like D.Exchanges are killing token price, are they responsible for such

You quite right to some extent. Most of them go below ICO price and they find it hard to recovery. Reasons might be:
1. Low market cap of the D.Exchage
2. The vulnerability of such exchange, in terms of security.
3. People don't want to be put through the stress of private key or linking their account through metamask, thereby makes less people to trade there.
4. Most D.Exchange has only Eth market.

I want to believe when D.Exchange start to have BTC market tokens will start to do better. Some of such are coming up soon.

It is not a question of the exchanges, the market price is about offer and demand, if the ICO has not reached hardcap, there is not enough demand and it falls.

[Crumple Cat]

I would not say so generalized. Yes, there are some point examples, but it can hardly be said that this is a pervasive phenomenon. On the contrary, I'm sure that the future is only for decentralized exchanges, including such as Dether, which allow p2p crypto trading for cash via a very convenient mobile dapp, thus contributing to crypto mass adoption around the world. And by the way, pay attention to what the CEO of Binance said:

“I believe that decentralized exchanges are the future. I don’t know when that future will come here yet. I think we’re at the early stages for that. I don’t know if it’s a year, two years, three years, five years – I don’t know. But we’ve got to be ready for it. We’re now actively investing our efforts, our time into it. We have a dedicated team working on this. I’m hoping to see a working prototype in a couple of months.”

Decentralised exchanges have many flaws indeed, mostly related to dificult interfaces and the like. But ICOs could lock tokens if they wanted to avoid these.

[sarfwr]

I think most of the time this is not  of the responsibility of the  decentralization exchanges，This is simply because of the imbalance between supply and demand in the market. When the token are unlocked, if they are in a bear market, many people will choose to sell them.

[BlackAngel999]

I do not think that this is related to the exchanges. Actually price is not affected by exchanges generally rather price is determined by the demand of the projects in the market. So if the demand of the ICO is low then the price will be low also.

[Maldini07]

wrong opinion, the fall of token prices on the market is not caused by decentralized exchange, but rather the development of the token itself and the passion of the market globally. if the token gets public trust and the ICO Project manages to achieve the hardcap target in any market traded token will definitely have a high price. but it cannot be denied that tokens listed in the major exchange will usually have a high price because they will get great trust from the public and in the major market exchanges  of many large investors so that the sales volume will grow rapidly

[BitCoinDream247]

Exchanges are never the key to decide, what goes up and what falls. The demand levels decide it, therefore market price depends on demand supply.

Decentralized form crypto currencies only give life the crypto currencies centralized coins will be under control by one place so powerful hand will be able to boom it for their betterment. I think even you do not want that happen in your investment. If you really know about crypto  currencies you will not say decentralized exchanges killing it and all. Cryptos are volatile let it be volatile else one side profit only we can see and that is not loyal to the market as well.

[painkiller321]

Exchanges are not the main issue here upon, what goes up and what falls. The demand levels decide it.

[bitcoinhero777]

I think the main reason is that decentralized system is very new that's why companies facing trouble maintaing them. But one they will have theexperience then these problems will be solved I guess.

[Plumbank]

This is maybe a coincidence, personally I don't see any correlation between those two, Decentralizing is for the long run good for customers I think. Price varies for many other reasons.

[FlamingFingers]

I do not think that this is related to the exchanges. Actually price is not affected by exchanges generally rather price is determined by the demand of the projects in the market. So if the demand of the ICO is low then the price will be low also.

However, exchanges do play a role in crypto–currencies prices/values. A rumor of a low–cap, low–volume coin/token getting listed on a rather large exchange could send its price flying. A piece of an article about *insert known exchange name* getting hacked and losing millions in the process could plummet certain coins' prices. A large exchange with huge investments could make even the most worthless Altcoins worth some value, and could be the end of others as well.

On-topic, I do think the same. So far, I haven't seen any decentralised exchange solve its own problems or any of centralised ones. They are complex (to new, average users), slow (expect 'We are being DDoS–ed' announcement/tweet all the time), unresponsive, still hack–able (due to 'hot wallets'), involve doing a lot of actions, have hard–to–digest User Interface, and mismatched trade orders is a common issue, and many others. All that drive people, who aren't concerned about privacy, security, etc. (i.e., majority of people), away to simple exchanges/ICO platforms where you can trade and invest with a single click (read: Coin Factory, Cryptonomos, Coinbase, Binance, Bittrex, etc.).

[ranman09]

Is it the problem with exchanges?

I believe that it is because of the ICO itself. If the ICO doesn't market better in contrast to hunters dumping their tokens. It will be really hard for them to bounce back to ICO price.

[HertzCoin]

It's not because of decentralized exchanges. That's beacuse decEXes are usually the cheapest ones and are easier to list on. ICO investors pretty often have high expectations and want to see the token on one of top exchanges (which are usually centralized). So whenever some ICO announces some easy-to-get decentralized exchange as their first exchange, a lot of investors take it as a disappointment and dump their coins.

You do have some points but back in past years when tokens hit up on DEX they do either start on ICO price or even higher depending on the demand or such hype of a certain coin.
Prices can be dictated with your own interest specially on the start up where its always the buyers and sellers will lead on where would prices would go and I cant deny that most of them do dump out but well later on when the token hits up on other centralized exchangers prices would still vary if it would pumped up or not depending on the demand.

[blackwell77]

From my point of view every one should know about this. The market price depend on offer price and demand . It will fall easily if the ico has not meet the point. If Ico wanted to avoid they could lock the token.

[CanyonsBull]

You are right but i am not agreed properly with you. I think decentralize exchange is not responsible for this it totally depends on demand.

the following encoded code is not reach to ICO price, it is only with 1/5 price ICO. really really sad
