What causes tokens been dumped after a successful ICO.

[pieppiep]

As the nature of the crypto ecosystem remains a decentralized system, dumping of cryptocurrency will always exist in the crypto market. Since the market value of cryptocurrencies depend on the principle of demand and supply, when investors or bounty hunters get a lot of a particular token, its very likely that the supply will be more than the demand causing people with majority of the tokens to drop their price just to sell their tokens. Too much distribution of tokens to investors or bounty hunters is the main cause of dumping after a successful ICO.

indeed it is natural that many ico when entering at the exchange price fall and become very cheap because usually it happens because of the influence of the airdrop and bounty campaign distribution which can make the price of ico in the exchange fall, and even many investors panic and sell its assets at low prices.

The general cause of dumping is as a result of fear as most people are never too certain of the real intentions of the project owners. As such, they easily sell to play safe.

No i dont think so, it can be seen that the ICO after success will have a very good price, so the whales will surely have huge profit from the project, and of course they surely will sell to get profit, and because they are whales, just a small dump can effect entire price of the ICO's token.

Yes, you are right, it is very difficult for bounty hunter and airdrop participants to reduce the price. Because they are usually given 0.1%. The coins, which had a lower value, could not completed enough funds.

[trauchot]

Many people say that this is only because of the bounty hunters, but its wrong, investors also sell their tokens immediately and kill the price, also, very often companies selling big amount of their tokens when their token is listed at exchange, and of course bounty hunters also participating in it.

Its actually he the HOUSE that dumps the first, they know exactly when the token is going to be listed and they can pause the bounty from receiving the tokens. Investors are also the team most of the time, I think more bonuses for them. ITs kind of a pre-pre -free sale.

Very accurate analysis most time the bounty hunters are always blame for dumping of coin after listing but the most dumpers are those who invested heavy amount of capital in the project during ICO and have earn huge bonuses. Because they are investors whose aims is to make profits and always on the look out for More profitable project so they don't have the patience of waiting for long before selling off.

Just for short term profits many people were coming to invest on the new ICO projects so they are getting dumping it but bounty hunters were suffering to get their rewards because of this issue.

[whiteblue]

Yes, you are right, it is very difficult for bounty hunter and airdrop participants to reduce the price. Because they are usually given 0.1%. The coins, which had a lower value, could not completed enough funds.

indeed the allocation for airdrop or bounty campaign participants is very small but you have to know, not always that makes them cryptocurrency prices fall, sometimes the price of the ico on the exchange falls because the ico project is not well developed and the platform becomes useless.

[dentolas]

Yes you are on point i will add one two more points in your topic, one is that from last one year what ever the tokenomics or even the icos without bounty the prices have still dumped so i guess its about overall market volume and demand in the market secondly in last one year bounty hunters have not received any decent reward so question of dumping in big numbers just gets diluted. I think this question and debate will continue till there is ico and bounty.

Well, you guys are right on the spot, nevertheless I feel that this old discussion doesn't end up with one side to blame... probably both early investors and bounty hunters are to blame for the dumping...
Early investors/private sale, etc recieve huge bonuses, sometimes 50-60% of ICO price, so, even if the token reaches the market at a relative low price, most of times they can still make money... as the ICO market degradated and the scam/failure risk got higher, it is understandable that the main ICO investors would get happy with 20-30% immediate profit and then  jump to the next ICO. For the same reason, a lot of hunters try to sell their small part because they have seen their work turn into worthless too many times...
The problem with ICOs is mainly the lack of trust and the lack of experience from most teams

[cribusen]

The lack of advertisement after a successful TGE, because investors are waiting and nobody else getting news about this project. The second reason are bounty hunters, that should be better paid in stable coins or in ETH/BTC to prevent big dumps.

[Nwankwobtt]

It Is simple, after a successful ICO, investors(private and presale) who got huge bonus, airdroppers who got free tokens and bounty hunters are all expecting to sell their tokens upon listing. Including team members with unlocked tokens. So it's only usually to witness dump after ICO sales and exchange listing

[Jackrodwell]

I've always been aware that bounty hunters are not to blame for a dump. I also believe that the investors who bought their tokens with a big bonus are the people who dump the token for provit.

I support your point on this issue of bounty hunters dump after ICO, is actually wrong rather the blame should go those investors who invest heavily on project for project and then go back to dump,what is coming to bounty hunters is very minimal in most cases.

[naruto7676]

Even if ICO is successful with low-token exchangers ililist of ico teams it is likely that the outcome is dump tokens, not bounty hunters and cause dump tokens but investors who sell tokens immediately because they are the first to receive of the tokens and the late bounty hunters. Another reason is the cheap exchanges that I had earlier said earlier.That's so for the ICO to get the top 20 oh top 10 exchangers they list.

[Annalise24]

You are absolutely correct. Most investors are in cryptosphere for the money and ico projects are not helping out .
They keep giving outrageous amount of discount to investors.
I am not saying that giving discounts is not good but it should be moderate.
I have seen an ico that gave over 50% discount and they still expect that the coin is not dumped on listing to an exchange.
Again people dump when they do not believe in the project.

[Ifemini]

I feel it is due to the unnecessary hypes and praises sang during pre sale
Which attracted a lot of investors (profit oriented type) to the project

So once it lists, both airdrops, bounty and pre sale and crowdsale token holders wants to bag the profit

Well; the wise always buy the dip

[ccsang]

Yes, you are right, it is very difficult for bounty hunter and airdrop participants to reduce the price. Because they are usually given 0.1%. The coins, which had a lower value, could not completed enough funds.

Definitely agree your view, people always blamed bounty hunter dump the price and push responsibility to us, actually bounty allocation is between 0.5%~5%, it's impossible affected the price. Based on my past experience, most of the successful ICO (raised more than 20M), it's must dump below ICO price, some project current price is reduce 100x than their ICO price, I think main reason is investor dump the price and buy back at lower price, other is project team exchange token to fiat money.

[innocentone]

Most of the time, the reason why the tokens become dumped is because of bounty hunter, that get an enormous percentage of token and those investors who get big amounts of bonus. Well, if the project is good, the dump will vanished in no time.

[ethereumhunter]

Yes i agree with you, that tokens are dumped in the market by the investors not bounty hunter, alokasion for bounty only 1-3% and will be split with many participant, but for investors on average 40-60, that's include bonus. So who controls the market are investors, and bounty hunter only follow the market condition

Yes, you are right. If there is no rule for the investor to sell all of their tokens, the price will not get dump too hard, and even if bounty hunters sell all of their tokens, they cannot make the price getting down too deep. But the truth is bounty hunters sell their token because they want to convert the token to ethereum and then sell the ethereum to make money or they will save the ethereum as their investment.

[r_delossa]

There are thousands of reasons why the token is dumped after its first listing, but the main reason in my opinion is the lack of advertisement after the ICO is over. There are simply no more people left that want to buy their tokens.

[fosco333]

Yeah, the team usually say the dump is because many hunters sell their token on the exchange.
But they don't realize that if investors find more attracting ICO, they can dump the token too.
The allocation of bounty reward usually not too much nowadays, so it shouldn't make the price dump.
