Are ICOs gonna phase out very soon?

[GregH37]

I think ICO will not end soon, not any projects can be sold through exchange or STO. For projects like these, they still call for investment money from venture capitalists themselves, or if potential projects will earn small investors. However, gradually such projects are less, but it does not completely disappear

There might be a pull back from ICO by investors and even real developers but ICO will never die, it’s a system that cannot be killed, and I am sure that one day, there will be a program that will fully revive ICO back.

Moreover, not every project has capital to start with exchanges, because if you see the amount of money that is required to register on IEO, it’s quite huge that project with zero startup capital will not be able to afford it except the ones that have their startup capital already, and even though people are aware that we have ICO scams, they will still be interested in looking for the good ones and not run away from it, so ICO will never go out of fashion.

ICOs are going no where ,I think till the end of time we will keep seeing newer projects using ICO to raise funds ,nothing is going to change that ,just because scammers use ICO a lot doesn't mean its bye for ICO projects forever

For an honest opinion, the new icos today are some point just repeating the concepts of those icos from the past. It's too many now that the investors doesnt know if it is legit or worth investment. I can say that way back 2015 the booming of the icos back then are really great because of every concepts are unique, but now.. Well, anyways, there are some legit and good project out there, be careful in choosing tho.

[fullhdpixel]

most now many investors follow the IEO direction. but that also cannot say ico will die. There are many very good projects and great potential they like to develop traditionally ico. So we have a lot of investment reviews and decisions

In as much as the hype for ICO has gone down seriously, project developer will still not cease to be trying their luck on ICO because it is not every ICO projects that can afford to go with IEO, and as they release any ICO project, we will always have bounty hunter who will be there to promote it, while the new hunters will do more of the promotion, the existing one will also do too, but will be very picky.

Only one challenge is that these ICO’s might not be meeting their cap again, because investors are quite skeptical, they only get few investors now  that probably is new to the industry and doesn’t know much about scam going on.

[wekael]

Yes, IEO's are the new thing now. Buy BNB.

[Stake13]

I don't think that all of the ICOs will be phase out soon because there are still many good ICO kike the dencoin that attract investor's attention to invest from them. Its just the matter of fact that it was really depends on the investor which to join a project. Moreover, the project is really good. For ICO scams, of course many people have avoided it. But lets try to figure out things first about tje ICOs before saying all of them was scam. So I really dont believe that ICO's will be phase and leave the cryptomarket.

I have been playing into some few ICO projects lately, and the reality is that I lost a lot of money due to the domination of the bear market and uncertainty of the projects going forward.

As the old saying goes, more than 90% of those projects are either scams, failed to reach soft cap, or not getting any traction in the next few months or so.

Maybe it’s because ICOs are not regulated and investors like me holds all of the risks.

Until now, there are still new ICOs emerging. However, there are also new ones such as STOs (security token offerings), IEOs (initial exchange offerings), and so on. It seems that both STOs and IEOs are already being considered the next big thing in raising crypto funds for starters.

With their ongoing emergence, are ICOs gonna be over soon? Are they gonna saturate and may phase out due to projects turning to STOs and IEOs?

I wanna know about your thoughts regarding this one, and I would greatly appreciate it whether if you agree or not with my opinion. Thank you in advance.

Id like to admit myself that i am losing the confidence for ICO's due to the rampants of ICO frauds and scams, and i vote for IEO, why? IEO is better than ICO because when the project is being listed for IEO in an exchange, i am sure that after the token sale, the project could be immediately listed to an exchange.

so what it gives you? Can you quickly sell your coins? because of such people, the plums take place. there is no difference between ICO or IEO if the project is good.

[rapsa2018]

I also waste my time promoting such ico's that being scammed and not good for long term its better to make a research before joining ico that has no future.

They're moving towards IEO and I think that's going to replace ICO so eventually they will phase out altogether and transform into IEO.

[joromz1226]

Everything is possible especially now that most of the investors have less confidence on supporting ICOs and they are now emerging another options like STOs and IEOs. Well, as for me the only constant thing in this world is CHANGE so if they are better than ICO then so be it. We are just here to support good projects.

You maybe right on that matter dude, But for me whether IEO or ICO they are both same, because not all under by IEO are good there are still not good, like once the exchange is not that popular the project will not be succeed for sure. And one of this example is Latoken, I'm not against with this exchange but base on my observation who got listed to this platform are now zero volume to their exchange the token or coins is dead totally if you are gong to look at it just like example VTM and GOT who got listed to this platform.

I believe ICOs will eventually fade out... Soon tbh.
towards the end of last year, I looked at STOs and immediately knew it was gonna do better at fundraising but few months back my attention got drawn to IEOs and I believe this addition will definitely knock out ICOs.
With an IEO, projects like ECOMI got the trust of ivestors due to the fact that they were being backed by an exchange and this helped them sell out their tokens.

[Claude46]

No. Definitely not. Even there's a lot of ICO's now that was involved into a scam not every project of the ICO was a scam and  ICO will never gonna be phased out. Its just a matter of fact choosing the rigjt ICO for your investment. Because there are still many good ICO like the dencoin that attract investor's attention to invest from them. Its just the matter of fact that it was really depends on the investor which to join a project. Moreover, the project is really good. And for ICO scams, of course many people have avoided it because of the news that all of it was scammed but the truth is not all of the project was like that.

[Anc92]

You do not need to hold an IEO or STO if you are doing outstanding marketing, there were enough examples, even in 2018 where there were no IEOs, some projects did well and even collected their hardcap on the falling market.

While this is true, there are other factors worth noting and two of those that give IEOs an edge are as follows:
1. Trust: Most ICOs are met with skepticism and the fact that exchanges vouch for the projects they perform the fundraising for, investors are most likely going to trust IEOs more easily.
2. When Exchange??? - I'm sure you know what I mean.

[Amejoaquim]

I think ICC will continue to exist. Although most of icos are scam. What I believe is the number of ico investors will decrease because there have been many disappointed investors investing in ico.

I doubt if ICO will ever end. The devil you know is better than the angel you do not know. The nature of projects that has the most tendency to disguise and not easily noticeable as scam are STOs, because i have seen a lot of scam STOs, yet they claimed they are legally backed up by regulatory bodies. Any STO that does not have the required document from SEC, which should also be confirmed from them, should be seen as potential scam.

[bvg96634]

You are saying that the ICO will end. It is when something disappears, you do not receive something more sophisticated? So we are waiting for this moment.

personally i am still doubt with STO.they could claimed has legal back up from regulator , but unfortunately they could not proved it.i am prefer IEO that give us more security in our fund after projects tradeable in market.

[Cianix]

For a long time ico is not popular , and ieo, too, I think may soon become extinct , yet now many are turning to those projects that have a good product!

ICO becomes popular because of so many projects succeed during its era and now IEO are also popular because many projects makes good money with that so I think they will not stop from providing us a good coins to choose for or even making a new way to invest. ICO will not going to phase out, it just like ETH will die anytime soon which is too impossible. I think ICO are still on the bear trend, but it will also recover and investors will trust it again history will repeat itself.
