Investment in ICOs decreased by 5800%

[Stargazer]

I saw news that crypto ICO raised 150 Million USD in January! However, it is thinkable that the ICO market can't raise good money anymore. It has many reasons also! Because if you compare the first half of 2018, then the crypto market in January to April months of 2018 was very good and people were passing the golden time of crypto, so they invested in most of the ICO projects! They did not research well so that many low ICO project made success! But this year is completely different because people lost more than 85% of money only because of the bear market, therefore some big exchange hacked, many ICO scams, ICO token dumped highly after listing on exchanges. So, investors stopped investing in ICO, even I was an ICO investor, now i am not! So, we can say now, This year is not for ICO, it is for IEO!

As compared to the Q1 of 2018, Q1 of 2019 saw a dramatic decrease in amount of investment done on ICOs. The amount collected by ICOs has been decreased by 58 times as compared to previous year.

Edit - It's not just 5100% but is 5800%

But they are not writing about Initial Exchange Offerings, I think that money raised by exchanges is much higher than ICOs can get from the retail investors.

Possibly it will not been surprise me because it will definitely know the the possibility of getting income from the ICS investment will not been successful right now in this situation and it will be expired since from a long period of time so I think it will be not going to possible again.

This is what I told a friend yesterday that is planning run ICO. ICO has lost its value unless it is rebranded to another thing which will are seeing in form of IEO and STO. Many ICOs have disappointed investors so many times and they are not eager to put money into them again

[gunhell16]

Investment qwith ICO will definitely decrease and i knoew that and it is given.
there are so many SCAM project in this cryptocurrency for the whole year of 2018 and some of 2019.
What do expect? investors will come eagerly? but well we are recovering, still the trading market is better than ever.

[amonymous]

As the real think in 2018 year more ico has been scam and many investors have damaged their investment. So now the amount of investment has decreased. At the think Finding real ico is very difficult now this time. But if the crypto market is back in the good direction then again the number of the investment may increase.

[miklesm]

It is ok as ICO hype is almost finished and people are not as interested in crypto as in 2017 when every single token was showing a huge growth after ICO.

[bitstalker]

because today ico has been abandoned people are more interested in investing in ieo but other than ieo other offers are still in demand, for example, ico, sto but ieo are the main causes for this.

Yes, because the decline in the ICO at this time was due to many ICO frauds and also the price deterioration when in the exchange market, so that many Investors complained and did not want to invest in the ICO, so the ICO had declined.

[Wale777]

There are several reasons for the drastic decrease in cryptocurrency investment, so many got scammed by investing in icos while so many ICO are not successful, an example of scams affecting people from my country is this https://punchng.com/nigerians-lose-millions-of-dollars-to-cryptocurrency-firm/

[pungopete468]

Trust in ico itself is currently greatly decreasing and in my opinion it is now a big loss that must be avoided in ico, and there must be a new thing that can indeed provide changes

Well no one has been obliged to invest in ICO so if this is the situation then prevent engaging in this area of crypto as our money is at stake here
What we need to wait now is the bullrun whos I believe is on the way now,just like the market today or actually for a week now that greenish is all around the forum

I am sure the main reason for this phenomena because of the ICOs failed to reach the target and even became frauds. Investors of course refrain from investing in ICOs that arise and wait for other opportunities that are more secure in terms of investment.

[dicaprio]

Last year it was like this, but I think that this year everything is not as good as it is shown here. I still hope that cryptocurrencies and the profitability of cryptocurrencies will have vertical growth in the near future.

[Mrsparks]

I see this as good News. Although the ICO mechanicsm provided a unique mechanism for burdening projects around the world to utilize blockchain projects, I think the amount of scams perpetuated was too much and until requisite regulations are put in place we will fine with lesser ICOs in the crypto-ecosystem

[rijaljun]

Tha was because of Bitcoin dumped too much last year and also too many scam projects. These make people think that investing in an ICO is not really good and bettet to invest in projects that have listed on big market and start trading.

[hongxiem12345678]

At the moment, I don't think I should invest in this market. Because in 2019 the market is not very good for ICO

[minersday]

Remember the price of bitcoin could give a huge impact to the icos too, i remember bitcoin worth more than 10k in the first quarter of 2018 and this time it has touched its bottom. Investors are searching for promising ico and that makes the competition becomes very strict.

It is true that the current raise in Bitcoin could influence investors to start investing into crypto projects but currently IEOs are the preferred option by investors. IEO is now the choice of investors to help them minimize the risk of them investing in scam projects and lose their investment at the end. ICOs are slowly dying off from the crypto ecosystem as an option for crowd-funding... 

[gabbie2010]

Its also sad that alot of ICOs became a fraud and collected a lot of investors funds thus having a field day then they suddenly went AWOL apart from last year I had experienced two scamming ICOs this year which quite unfortunate despite their media hype which makes them real that is why I am not surprised by the high percentage drop in the investment in ICOs.
 Their nefarious activities had become rampant as a result of not having a regulatory body to oversea and control the ever increasing numbers of fraudulent ICOs who had capitalized on the anonymous means of transacting with cryptos.
Its high time every cryptos enthusiast formed an avenue where new ICOs will be scrutinized before allowing them into the market.

ICO has lost the confidence of investors since the end of 2018. I think it will gradually die in the market and not attract anyone. Many other forms of capital mobilization are opened. IEO is a new form that is gradually being replaced, being trusted and developed by investors very effectively today.
