if you look at using USD, maybe it looks a little. but do you know if it is calculated using Ethereum, the amount is not much different. the reason for the funds collected in the ICO was reduced, because in September Ethereum was at its lowest level so far this year.

ICO as an ICO is not dying but we are in the process of filtering bad ICOs, right now from every 10 or more ICO launch only one succeed because actually right now from every 10 or more ICO only one is series and not just about collecting money, when the useless ICO start to realize that there is no more money in launching an ICO they will stop and leave the field to those who actually have something to offer. ICO is apart from Cryptocurrency space and it will not just vanish, the decreasing number of successful ICO might be that the investors are maturing and this is a good thing after all.

ICOs dying because of scam ico they bring bad impact to investor thats why many ico's fail to reach their goal

ICO will always exist, they will not die and they will decrease. Because only a few ICOs can succeed, the ICO will change its mechanism in the future and may be regulated.

I agree with this, because there are many concerns that a running project will scam, making investors doubtful. People often see that fraud will happen anywhere and to anyone, right? those who cheat see this as a place to make a profit.

after so many scams and unpaid bounties, it is to much hard for ICO to succeed on their project, many users are reluctant to invest their money with an ICO who has a bad reputation, honesty, these ICOs has literally abused the system, many investors had suffered huge loss. that is why there are only few ICO in the market today, it somehow affect the market price because of the distrust ratings that bitcoin suffered due to this ICO.

dying? does not seem. maybe the investors are bored because of the recent bad situation. they are only focusing on repairing their losses. because in September there were several altcoins that reached the lowest point of one of ethereum.

I'm sure when the market starts bull run, ICO will start again

ICO will not die when the needs of the user are infinite. Any innovation, creativity and efficiency will be supported by the community. The bad thing is that the ico model is being abused for bad intentions, scam. Maybe there are stricter rules to eliminate that instead of increasing awareness.

Not true that ICO are dying some time the bear market change the people behaviors and it is not the fact but still some of the big whales diverse people attention and they rule in the market. ICO are the attractive investment in these days.

I personally don't think that some random uptrend in the market will have people blindly investing in vaporware again. We all had our fun gambling, but now it's down to business and seeing where blockchain can take us.

Many of the projects that already had their crowdfunding in the golden era have released products like Bancor while others are still being produced . I even wrote about how 36/100 projects actually have working products that can be used right now, by you.

Going forward, I'd like to see a down-trend in ICO funding and up-trend in useful products being released to the community. FYI, it is possible to release a product and then raise funds.

IPOs also trailed off significantly in the tech sector after 2001. Doesn't mean tech died! The ICO craze of 17-18 won't be coming back but ICO as a concept, structure and funding mechanism will continue, albeit in a more mature, regulatory friendly way. Traditional ICOs will still happen but ICO 2.0 will be safer (but still far from "safe"), mature and less frothy. Not sure if security token ICOs will be ICO 2.0 or 3.0 but since security tokens will likely receive and require regulatory scrutiny I wouldn't be holding my breath just quite yet.

The market is now very depressed, causing the investment enthusiasm of most people to decrease. If the bull market is coming, the market activity will definitely be high.

[alsu5552018]

I do not think that ICO is dying. I think that good projects still have everything ahead. It's just that the market has been depressed for too long.

[tuthienloc92bk]

  It's not dying. Actually, investors are really careful when they invest in an ICO. They have recognized there are many scam ICOs and just invest in most potential projects.

In addition, many projects are changing their fundraising form from ICO to Seed Coin Offering or the others form. I think they will choose an suitable method to raise their fund soon.

That's because too many projects are just collecting the money of investors and stop the development right after conducting ICO. It's quite difficult to reach even a Soft Cap nowadays, but I hope that ICOs won't die despite the current situation.

[Tashi]

There are certain ICOs that really went off. I had stakes in some ICOs and their value really dropped dead.  But I guess there are still ICOs that are stable.

[Agutin]

in such a market, projects do not risk opening ICO. sure when the market turns, many projects will come out of hibernation and another HYIP will go

[iAMawi123]

Well, there is a lot of scam ICOs that are happening recently. I am sure that some people learned and now careful about investing right away on ICOs.

[trash321]

If the ICO process takes place exactly as many processes do today, then of course yes, I think that many investors will refuse to invest for various reasons, but the most important is the scam projects.

Actually I don't thing that ICO's dying off, I thing that raised ICO's funds are so little because of the market situation. Investors are afraid to lost theirs money because  there are only a small amount of ICOs who are survive in nowadays conditions
