Ether (ETH) holdings of projects that raised funds via initial coin offerings or ICOs have been steadily declining,

Isn't this obvious already? I mean a lot of people are already aware that these ICOs from 2017 have been selling their ethereum since last year. Many are also saying it is one of the main reason why the market crashed.

[jossiel]

By 2018, the ICOs were starting to lose its dominance so it's obvious that Ethereum / smart contract based projects has lost its popular due to the rampant of ICO scams. And this lead people to leave the ICO market and finally a new trend of investment came which is the IEO.

There's confidence in IEO for the developers and for the investors so its a good return for both however, I can see that the same fate can happen to them due to the scammers would also come to these platforms. They'll create project, list it on that specific exchange and then leave that project gradually together with the investors.

Ethereum will get back to top once devs will release ETH 2.0 update. Right now, ETH is overcoming very hard times and its price is far behind its real value. Once BTC dominance will be pushed down, ETH should be one of the first coins that will explode.

Lol, we're already in the halfway of 2019 and its pretty obvious by now the the whole business model have gradually shift to IEO. Of course there will be ICO being born every minute, but I"m not sure if investors are still willing to fund any project by now because IEO is taking over. Most of the ICO project have liquidated their ETH in mid 2018, causing a dramatic fall of the price. So I guess the OP's research is too late.

The ethereum 2.0 will only give a big change to the blockchain and consensus model but it looks like the smartcontract model will not be changed and with the possibility of ethereum holders to get ethereum as emission from the blockchain and this will create a stable ecosystem caused by the miners and the holders will in the same level and there is no a lot of differences. But this will not give a huge increase in the price of ether

I think after the next 4 years if they able to fulfill their roadmap which they announced some days ago then it may create e new history in crypto currency as the name of ETH. Obviously in that time those will be benefited who already started to hodl ETH for this time period.

However, if they don't work their ERC20 based smart contract then it will be more declined. Already Gochain and other contract doing well and give faster transaction as well.

Any research can be a good research after connecting dots from previous research. Obviously it is too late now but a research will be held after the incident already done or continuing. IEO is a new trend and it is successfully doing well and people enjoyed it too much rather than ICO.

Yes, we agreed. That now all projects will carry out IEO in many exchanges. But you are wrong, there are still investors who are interested in investing through ICO. Although now IEO has experienced many changes, ICO is still not dead and is still in great demand.

There are still investing but this isn't very visible right now that people lose interest to the project when it says ICO on their website. I'm very skeptic to participate in the campaign when I see they are doing ICO instead of IEO. ICO is very much associated with scam and investors already learned all these concealing they've made in the past.

Well said. ICO is very much associated with scam but there are very low chance to do scam in IEO. Actually, if any project wants to do IEO as their tokensale then they will be needed to pay exchange for hosting them. But scammers will not give money to anyone from their pockets.

That's why, IEO is trusted, reliable,faster and easier for investor through exchange.

Only IEO from popular exchange, there are so many newly created exchanges trying their fortune to starts an ICO with an obvious intention for the instant money.
an IEO from popular exchange might be reliable, legit and so on but if you found an IEO from a not really well known exchange that could turns out to be something phishy because if the IEO they created turns out to be a scam they have nothing to lose. just be careful.

It's not that simple.
The specific exchange must be trusted. Otherwise, there will be another typefraud of high probability, which has already been mentioned many times. If only one or two trusted exchanges manage IEO, then ultimately this will lead to some centralization.
So, the ICO has a chance in the future.

Oh, it should be something commensurate with the ICO. Even better, as the pressure of ICO 2017-2018 is still ongoing. Ethereum should first show strength, and only then will BTC begin to lose its dominance. not the other way around

[Herbert2020]

it is the most obvious thing and it didn't really need any "research"!
ever since 2017 when the ICO hype started dying and with it the ETH price started dumping consistently, the use of this platform has been declining because that is the only use case of it and nothing else. with ICOs near death, the usage is nearly zero.
on top of that we have a lot of other platforms that are more efficient and much easier to use for smart contracts which is why ethereum is losing its market share.
then on top of all that, we have exchanges that got into the game of scamming through fund raising and started the IEO thing with their own tokens so there is no need for ETH anymore.

the result is the decline.

[barbara44]

Well, I don't think this is something new in the space, because it is very obvious to all that the ICO market is gradually dying off and investors moving to a more trusted network which is the IEO, and I also believe the reason being that the ICO market lacks regulation, therefore making it lawless and easy for scammers to carry out their activities.

But, with the introduction of IEO into the space, we can now make investment in projects and still be assured that our investment is secured since it is being controlled by popular exchanges which are trusted and will not have any reason whatsoever to run away with investors fund when they can simply earn more by moving away with traders funds, lol.

Yes, IEO on popular exchanges get very hype and more reliable, trusted rather than others. There are so many newly created exchanges those also provide IEO but less trusted to the investor.

IEO on popular exchanges get very hype and more reliable, trusted rather than others.

I should market that this is the main factor this is why the price of ethereum is falling gradually. So many icos have been sold their ether but there was on a lot of platforms are using ethereum again to raise the funds. I can say that the hype of IEO is the factor who has already destroyed ethereum slowly.
It looks like the movement from ICO to IEO already happened by mass crypto buyers.

Exactly, this is the main reason why ETH is getting low in the market for a long time and there's no huge pump which can be mentioned. Market is moving ICO to IEO. It is now happening

This news is in favor of Ethereum. I understand that people want Ethereum to rise in price again and regain its former greatness.
However, in the face of a falling altcoin market, this is unlikely.
Ethereum needs altcoins to start to grow in price, this will push investment to the crypto market, which is good for raising investment during the ICO. The main coin used for investing is Ethereum.
