Are ICOs dead?

[pelumi20]

Things change, IEOs to me a calibrated ICOs. All aiming towards the same goal. however the previous (IEOs) are superior to ICOs on the grounds that investors make certain of listing and furthermore sure that the team ain't scam. ICOs are not dead, they just developed, albeit a few people actually complete token sales through ICOs. I additionally saw a few projects which did ICOs and fizzled went to exchanges for IEO

[Slingshot]

ICOs and IEOs may look dead kind of this period but will never be forever dead because another form of them will still surface soon this is how market and cryptocurrency moves. You may think they are dead and gone but will never go finally. Let's watch and see this happen sooner than later.

for sure it is already dead the ICO Season where every project was raising millions of USD in a matter of months. I am not sure there will be again a situation like this since now there are more regulations and the hype is over. this is a kind of new product to finance project it can't disappear.

[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

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

yes just researched this project. looks technically simple and financial model has good revenues

I think ICOs are reborn because of many Defi projects, see if you know that many Defi projects do ICOs,
of course this makes ICOs popular again, but for me ICOs are very vulnerable to us because scammers are easy to get there, be careful.

By now everybody expects there to be a big dump after the ICO is over so people don't want to invest in them anymore. They have seen a small resurgence thanks to the defi hype. Projects can launch a new token and promise yield farming rewards to motivate investors.

Yes using IEO gives the project access to list on the exchange that the crowdfunding took place and also there is confidence of scam free when investing on projects that use top exchanges for crowdfunding, top exchanges always make sure that nothing ruin their reputation, isn't this the dream of every investors? IEO do things way better than ICO, sometimes too much freedom opens door to more crime

yeah! ICO wakes up again from a long sleep, although it is Hype Defi that makes ICO popular again,
but unfortunately for projects other than Defi, ICO is still not very popular, for some reason,
the important thing is not to get caught by HYPE.

Yes, that's the current situation of ICO's. Due to many Defi projects, ICO's has been getting a great comeback and that's the reason investors have showing trust towards the ICO's again just because of the Defi projects. But still, we have to be very careful about the ICO investment so as not to get trapped in an ICO scam.

yes of course ICO is not dead because many investors are disappointed with the ICO project and of course there are no investors who are interested in raising funds using the ICO method, currently prefer the DeFi platform project.

yes of course ICO is not dead because many investors are disappointed with the ICO project and of course there are no investors who are interested in raising funds using the ICO method, currently prefer the DeFi platform project.

So this means ICO is dead already because investors are not anymore interested in investing, clear up your statement dude. 
Actually, it's been dead a long time ago, in 2019, I think it was completely dead and those who plan to do a crowd sale already understands that.

ICOs are still alive, but the numbers have decreased considerably this year. Because they can't compete with IEO and DeFi,
Besides, based on my observations, the current ICO is no longer profitable. Even 95% scams, but there are still bounty hunters
who are interested in promoting ICOs. But with the bullrun later this year, there is a possibility that in 2021 the ICO trend will
repeat itself. Because many investors want ICOs to rise again like in 2017.

And also a lot of negative stigma on ICOs because of the many scam projects. In terms of security, ICOs are also far behind IEOs, and investors certainly don't want to risk their money to fundraising structures whose security is weak or even uncertain.

The new hype is DeFis which currently in Vogue while ICOs and IEOs will soon be phase out as they are no longer popular and profitable again probably due scammers having a field day in their projects or due to the bearish market conditions however as  cryptos market turned bullish I was  also expecting a resurgence of ICOs in the market just like that of 2017,  however nothing has really changed with ICOs, I believed a shift to DeFis by investors was responsible for it

It is only natural for the stigma to exist after so many scam projects. And the worst part is that even after so many scam projects, most of the ICO promoters failed to ensure adequate security mechanism, to improve the confidence level of the investors. They continue to refuse requests for third party escrow of the project funds and independent audits. So it is only natural for the investors to stay clear of the new ICOs.

Many ICO projects are dead since 2018 but ICO crowdfunding is still alive till today, people gave up on ICO crowdfunding because they are taken advantage of by scammers in 2017-2018, ICO lost its trust and IEO took over, slowly and gradually IEO became a more reliable crowdfunding strategy

[arapgeceleri]

When I met cryptocurrencies in 2017, we would constantly follow ICOs and act accordingly. I think the ICO era is over now.

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.

how would a scammer be regulated?and when talking about ICO we are dealing with multi group of scammers that pretending to be a crypto lower and a investors friend though at the very beginning we can evaluate their motive by offering Moon and Sun just to make us believe .

And now they adjusted to more legit way in which pretending to be Fair and promising smaller ROI so may hide the intention behid.

ICO in the main deal is good for crypto community but The ERA had been passed and the willingness of legit company are being destroyed  and will be harder to recover.

This is what makes ICOs stuck and will never again become a good fundraising method, unless they really have good products, real uses with targeted solutions and are willing to cooperate with third parties to ensure security. I don't hate ICOs at all, it's just that they are too easily used by scammers for profit
