Are ICOs dead?

[reality18]

Apparently, I can say ICOs have gone down the drain. The era of ICOs are no more because lots of attention have shifted to IEOs of late and most of the investors prefer to invest in IEOs rather than ICOs. This is largely because most investors got scammed during the era of ICOs. IEOs also are convenient in purchasing the tokens during the token sales although they do not provide a 100% guarantee of the success and authenticity of the project.

the lack of rules in establishing an ico makes it easy for criminals to make it and deceive investors, I think the rules of the forum or the support of various important parties must be done when running an ico is good enough to eliminate ico fraud

i agree with you.
if at that time ico had regulations, the project scam would not exist and it is likely that ico will remain alive until now.

but we all know how crypto, all have risks and do not have rules that govern.
we must make our own rules so as not to experience a lot of losses when investing.

ICO are not dead, because there are still new ICO projects, of course they are mostly fraudulent, so few investors

ICO enthusiasts are starting to decrease, and investors are starting to turn to IEO or trading and that's their way to protect their money from scammers in ICO

if you say dead maybe yes, because many ico are scammed and unprofitable for everything including investing and hunting for free tokens in some ico campaigns, but in fact Ico is always present every day, it's just that many of them are fraudulent projects, maybe IEO has overcome the problem project fraud and more profitable for investment.

A lot of the cryptocurrency users and investors have a misconception that IEOs are 100% safe. No one should assume that the IEO investment can only be profitable. There is a lot of hype surrounding the IEOs and it reminds me of 2017, when such a situation prevailed with the ICOs. What happened with the ICOs in 2017 is repeating now with the IEOs.

We should not underestimate the scammers. They are getting more innovative by the day. They will be ready to pay the heavy listing fee on Binance and Huobi, if they think that there is a chance of getting good returns. It is true that the exchanges such as Binance screen the tokens before their listing, but they can't vouch for the timelines for development.

Interesting article about the death of ICOs and the emergence of IEO... https://cryptotradernews.com/investing-trading/are-icos-really-dead/


What do you guys think? I don't think ICOs are fully dead. They just need to be regulated in more efficient ways. Most ICOs from 2017-2018 never delivered on their promises because they were being ran by a bunch of assholes who didn't deliver squad... We need more regulation. Only then will ICOs get better imo.

They are lots of new projects emerging everyday who are sceptical about the use of IEO to raise fund,  in as much as investors do have certain assurance of their investment return when they invest in IEO,  they still invest in ico of projects with good potentials.

It is true that not all of the IEOs are 100% safe especially the IEOs in the small exchanges because there is a huge chance for them to runaway with their funds once they finish the IEO. It is better to stick with the big exchanges and wait for the IEOs project there to get a higher chance for a better return because the more popular the exchange, the higher chance for profit making since there is already a lot of audience that can buy the IEO token.

ieo is now the best choice for investors to invest their money rather than in ico, although IEO is not 100% able to guarantee the safety of investor funds, but at least the investors are not too worried because a project developer who sells ieo has certainly gone through various processes requirements that have been determined by the exchange before they are approved to sell at an exchange.
Of course the exchange will not sell if the developer of the token if indicated as a fraud project because it will later have a negative effect on the exchange

Enthusiastic ico investors are disappearing because anyone that dares to invest in icos is losing his money, people are not going to keep investing in something if they will only get losses and then you hear the ico developers complaining about the situation when they have been the ones responsible for the state of the market, and while some investors are deciding to invest in ieos, as long as those projects do not materialize and create something tangible then they will keep failing too.

The ICO is really dead, I haven't seen any successful projects based on ICOs lately. However, for IEO, there are many risks. There have been many IEO failures and brought risks to investors. The best IEO platforms should be Okex, Huobi and Binance.

[marcbitcoins]

ICO will not die because the use of IEO platform is much expensive because the project owner will need to pay the exchanges service in order for their tokens to be listed in the platform. The project owners also need to choose the most reliable exchanges in which the better the exchanges is the more much expensive services and IEO will not guarantee project will become successful but it will always depend on the market condition and the beauty of the products of their project.

[fotomask]

In my opinion ICO dead after a lot of scam projects appear, most of us think any ICO scam, i understand this may not true but that is what we see.

[haipham3432]

I think the ICO is still alive but about to die. Their investors are getting less and less, their credibility is being suspected due to reports of major scams in recent years.

As long as new projects appear in ICO, it is impossible to say that ICO are dead, especially recently in ICO it is possible to find working and perspective projects

[XuanBui091991]

I also think the ICO is not completely dead. It still has the potential to grow, but very few people invest in it now due to so many scams.

ICOs are slowly fading away. The numbers indicate so. Last year at the same time, we had on average a few hundred ICOs every month. This has been reduced by more than 90%. There is hardly any hype now regarding the ICOs and even the number of bounty campaigns have gone down. But still, the situation can change if a few big listings happen at the market.

[tuchenvi]

maybe ico as a concept is really dead but defi concept following ico era, i think, now is very hyping and alive)) i'm actively invest in defi tokens especially in credible dex projects

[awakpane]

In my opinion, ICOs are not completely dead. Even now, some crypto projects still carry the ICO concept. However, this factor is certainly not without reason, one of the contributing factors is the crypto market which jumped up at the end of 2017 and immediately fell drastically in early 2018. Moreover, the crypto industry is an industry that is very closely related to something called FOMO

[Ken_terrance]

ICO is 80% dead because investors don't feel comfortable around ICO projects anymore, only very few high quality projects are using ICO today that's where the remaining 20% lies, a project that's going to use ICO to raise fund today must be extremely well made and very good like Avalanche project, ICO is not completely dead but only high quality projects dares to use ICO today

[retalids]

maybe ico as a concept is really dead but defi concept following ico era, i think, now is very hyping and alive)) i'm actively invest in defi tokens especially in credible dex projects

did u see Xsigma project besides? i'm checking them now, its stablecoin dex, they just announced. so i'm interested to know more

Half dead maybe? Since few new projects still have some guts to use such crowdfunding strategy when they already know that their chances are slimmer, scammers got us to where we are today about ICO crowdfunding, if ICO is still fully alive today God damn, maybe we will have different experience to share right now who knows? ICO was a big success than IEO, I wish it's still very much alive today
