"Initial coin offerings (ICOs) completed in the first half of January have raised around $160 million. The figure was provided in a report by ICO rating service ICObench shared with Cointelegraph on Jan. 18. ICOs completed by Jan. 15 have managed to raise about 33 percent of the combined amount raised in the previous month of December. Half of that sum was secured by just one project, the report notes. According to ICObench, the number of fundraisers that are set to take place in January is more than 150, a figure similar to the past seven months, excluding December." - Read more in Cointelegraph. https://cointelegraph.com/news/icos-raised-160-million-in-first-half-of-january-report-says

Even at the poor market conditions it's unbelievable that initial coin offering can raise that so much amount at the first half of January that's to sat the year 2019 might be a fruitful one

It looks like people don't want to fund those scams anymore I think report doesn't include private sales It is the best way for legal project to raise funds I know two really good projects what was able to collect funds through private sales I think that people have learned and will not invest in most of ico even price of crypto will rise

Every ICO topic you post gets moved to altcoins. How about you stop being completely ignorant and post this in the right place to begin with? If it's not about Bitcoin, it doesn't go in the Bitcoin Discussion board.
//EDIT: Kudos to the mod for a swift move.

it's really unbelievable with the bear market right now that ICO combined still manage to raise that amount, i read the article and amazed with just ICO from canada combined it raised $80 million, cause not many project was successfully reach their softcap this month due to the market condition and it's losing popularity due to many scam ICO and mostly got their price dumped when hit exchange.

It's amazing that there are still innocents investing in repeat projects that just change the WP and speak some pretty words! If someone wants to invest ICO look for projects that were launched at 2, 3 anosa ago! We are at a time that most of these projects need to deliver something, for example, Bancor, Wings, Decent, Iconomi, Lisk, Waves and etc.

It is not a good sign that it was raised only $160 million in the first half of January. That period was affected by the holidays but we should compare it to the last year`s figures and they are significantly lower.

Sorry to say, I stopped believing reports from ICObench! A lot of fake raised ICOs are listed there and I asked to resolve an issue about a so-called STO Project who's hardcap is 550 Million USD and they raised 66 Million USD and no one talks about them and ICObench bot gave them 5 rating out of 5. Could you please mention which ICOs are live now and making 160 Million USD in these 20 days of January?

All the people have some knowledge about ICO projects. Then they are not going to invest scam and useless ICO projects. The scammers have taken a part of this ICOs to scam like a boss. With the market condition, most ICOs have not given a good return on investment to the investors. The market condition is not the only reason for it. Most ICO projects are cheating right now. My personal opinion is doing your own research before investing in ICO projects.

Yeah, I agree it's really impressive to see some ICO still making good amounts on investments even at this worsening market conditions. Investors are getting smarter as they put their money on the project that will likely be a success, unlike in 2017 and early 2018 wherein they don't care, as long as they know they can make a lot of money out of the project they will invest however the bear market teaches us a good lessons.

Although the crypto mark is currently not the best, they still managed to earn 160$ million with icos and that impresses me a lot. I did not think that is possible at the moment. Apparently the ico market is not dead.

Yes, this figure is not so big and it is very sad. This is due to the fact that people no longer trust the ICO, including me. We need to do something already, so that the fraudsters become smaller and then people will start to invest in the ICO again.

I still have high hopes on the ico and I am well amazed by the result of the ICO lately that despite the bad market, still they accumulate good result on their token sales. It is a good sign that even we are experiencing bad market, still good projects prevails.

This is very good, and most importantly means that even against the background of a bad market, ICO projects can still continue to collect the necessary amounts!

This suggests that the ICO market is not dead. Even with such a bad market, decent projects are launched that interest investors.

In January alone, they raised $ 160 million, which is an excellent one, surely in the coming months ICO will grow stronger.

When the market is so depressed, 160 million, I think, is a huge investment. Obviously it is a development that gave me hope for the future.

$160 Million is not a small amount in bear market, look like people start to investing in ICO again and maybe everything will back to normal in 2019, hope more legal and potential project will coming out and don't want scam project anymore.

$160mm is a lot more than I would have expected. When I was working with an ICO in September, I remember the amount raised by the first half was something abyssmal, like $18mm. Of course a lot of it comes down to the individual projects that succeed to raise funds, but I think this is an indication that money is once again entering the space. Is 2019 our year?
