ICO market statistics. September 2018.

[ElnurBash]

I'm actually surprised that the amount of icos is still a lot even now, I think there's only about 20 or 30 icos going on but that stat shows there's about 90 icos in September. Although the ico that completed successfully is about 20%, but I believe only less than 5% will survive for more than a year. Ico craze is already over and I don't get why projects still try to set their hardcap so high, they should set it to a reasonable range, around 500k to 1 mill usd is enough for startup to last a long time.

tjefe are a lot of icos, hindreds of them but it does not mean tjat all of them are good for us to participate in be careful

Yes, the cryptocurrency market is in decline, but after takeoff, a commensurate decline happens.  I believe this will continue for more than one year.

[DISPERADO]

I believe that all this was expected. Too many scam projects began to appear this year. And the market this year is not happy. Here investors do not invest their funds as before.

[Lake20]

This is the best ICO market statistic so far and am pleased with it that many ICO projects wee unable to raised the needed funds for their project. Though we still have many dummies in the industry but people are getting more smarter now.

[Tuwierun]

well do not be too pessimistic tjere still is a chance for the better future and there is no need to seed panoc everywhere around

I am optimistic. I believe that the current decline only benefit.

[NortenBank]

The current market condition probably had an effect also but these are still dismal figures.
From the statistics shown, I can conclude that investors are much mature and smarter now.
This should serve as a challenge to all upcoming ICOs.
Investors need more than the usual good-looking website and well-written whitepaper now.
It is no longer enough to have "innovative" ideas, each ICOs should atleast have a live MVP before opening their token sale.

When institutional investors openly declare themselves in the ICO market, then the situation will change radically. Professionals will quickly understand who are scammers and who really works.

[jeronimosuykens]

These statistics reflect what everyone see everyday.. ICO market is reduced more than 50% compared to August and I think that it will reduce more. There were really too many similar projects and I really hope that numbers of ICO will reduce but with only important and concrete projects to look at.

Now ICO scams happen a lot, and almost ICO projects after the transaction price is lower than the ICO, so many investors have been discouraged and they have abandoned this market. This makes many ICOs difficult to become successful.

Good to know the graph of ico whats happening right now. Some good ico from now starting up for building a new good ico and releasing these dates.

[sorrros]

Thank you for very interesting graphs, I thought that ICOs havent such problems with collecting money, but I was wrong.
What does it mean? ICOs, bounty campaigns going to end next year?

[anjohyx]

Thank for the statistics picture, I also have a little bit disappointed because current situation of ICO market really bad, 80% project failed and  successful ICO project also can't raised too much fund  (compare with last year), 2018 still have two month, but 2018 not a good year for ICO and cryptocurrency investor, just wait for 2019 give me a huge profit earning from ICO investment

Yep, that is the most greedy ico's which want to collect ETH, NEO etc. on the very bottom and got not only investors money but and profit from them too. And of course a lot of them will not survive or even collect their soft cap, but they are so greedy that they are not even pay their attention on these risks.

The ICO market is very bad this year. The first is the impact of the ICO scam, which has led most investors to fear. The second reason is that the overall market is declining. If listed, ICO will definitely fall below the issue price.

That's interesting. And if the ICO-projects invested Fiat money, there would be more fraud? Market ICO copy to the cryptocurrency market? ))

[itsik78]

A lot of ICO, which even at first glance seem to be unpromising. A lot of scam. A lot of investors who have become more cautious

[Hudora]

The guys from the Suicide Ventures shared the ICO market statistics for September 2018. Not advertising, just a link to the authors. I just do not know if someone from the fund is sitting here and spreading info, so I decided to share with everyone who is interested.

So.

1. In September, 90 ICOs were held (excluding pre-ico), which is 17 more than in August, but the final dynamics during the year is negative.




2. Only 20% ICOs completed successfully, 80% failed. Over the past 3 months, nothing has changed - the overall dynamics during the year is negative.




3. The amount of funds raised with the help of ICO in September is $ 290 million, which is 42% less than in August. This is the worst figure this year. Dynamics - negative.



4. Successful ICOs attracted $ 223 million of the total fees, unsuccessful projects collected $ 67 million, which is 50% less than in August.



5. Top 10 ICOs. The undisputed leader is the Genexi project, which brought together almost 2 times the size of the nearest “pursuer”. The total amount of fees top ten - $ 181 million.




6. Just one project raised more than $20 million.




7. More than 90% of Hard Cap was able to fellow only 11% of ICO. From 10% to 90% - 27% ICO. 62% of ICO ended in complete failure, not collecting more than 10% of the Hard Cap.



Here are such disappointing statistics.
We fall.

Situation is terrible. I hope that it would change for better, but it does not feel so for me. ICOs are dying and we are to blame for this.

[Freddy63]

Looking forward to seeing situation in october and november.
Something makes me think that situation is getting worse compared to september.

[jayendo]

I am surprises that some of real ICOs managed to attract 20 millions, because most of ICOs are fake and investors' trust is at very low level.

[coinmaster241]

So there are less ICOs and they are raising less money? Good. The vast majority of ICOs have either a woefully naive and unprepared team behind them with no product or real world use, or are an outright scam designed only to rip people off. ICOs make the whole of crypto look like a scam to the outside world.

The sooner we stop throwing our money away at these trash projects, the better.

I don't agree with your opinion about ICO, I am sure that not all ICOs are bad and fail, I agree with your statement about the project team that is not ready for the project's superior products. because each project will certainly bring reliable products / platforms to be used in the next few years so that competition remains

[hanomnom]

It is very pitty. ICOs gave a lot of fuel to move a blockchain revolution and now we have to watch them eleminating month by month. Very sad picture.

[Artem57]

While the market is in a state of decline ICO teams will be very difficult to raise money for their projects. Many investors are waiting for recovery . Besides, now there are even more cheaters than in 2017 , which further scares investors. No one wants to lose money. Hard Cap at 20000000 dollars to collect is now almost impossible.
