Agree to disagree. ICOs have drop tremendously and that study cannot be based on rumors and clearly is a fact. But there are still number of projects that resort to ICOs and yet to still survive. I got a feeling some dev were not fond of trusting their project with IEO, and also, how about new coin not token, how many exchange support coin IEO? I'm pretty sure its few. So they choose ICOs to raise fund.
Is there already a coin crowdfunding using IEO? I only heard this from you, coins IEO must be a better idea than token since we already have many project created in ETH contract more them has been failed and other successful ICO also make there own coins. In coins there are better use of it since they see that ERC20 token was really a big failure. |

There are so many factors that inluence the ICO market...
- risk factors - at this moment the risk perception is very high, people are more suspicious and are basically waiting for the market
- projects - The ICOs I've seen lately are just blunt scams, or copies of other projects... the best projects around have migrated to IEO
- market - the whole crypto market is waiting for the bull run, so things are a bit paused in many projects
- US regulations
So many scams and failures end up killing the idea,nevertheless it is possible that if the market comes back, the ICO's will do too...
Bitcointalk has a lot of ANN and Bounty, but at this moment they are mostly IEO...

Maybe we can say that the ICO is dead, but we will not know if, in the future, the ICO can rise again. But yes, right now, the ICO has suffering to reach the investor, and maybe they still trying to survive until now. But maybe, this situation will clear the path for the ICO, so, in the future, the ICO can come back and can give the profit to the investor.
The ICO still running because we see so many ICO projects has released, but we don't know how they can attract more investors. We only know that some of them can reach the hardcap and the softcap, which we don't know if that is true or not. So you need to be careful when you want to invest in any ICO, make sure you can collect as much information as you can so you know what ICO to select.

There are a number of projects currently conducting ICOs and successfully selling in the midst of the many projects that have opted for IEO. I think the developer team who has a good project will remain optimistic even though IEO is currently in great demand by some investors because in the end investors will choose the best project instead of the sales method |

It is needed to save the crypto industry - ICO must die completely or it needed just for the legit projects. Investors have learned from their mistakes and they still need to learn more; they have to be more choosy on their investments. Lately, the ICO industry became like the GPT industry. I remember, back in 2014-2016, every month 100s of PTC, revshare sites were launched to scam people - the formula was rinse & repeat. ICO became the same thing... I prefer IEOs from legitimate exchanges because I believe those exchanges do their investigation well enough before they launch the IEO. Maybe IEOs will be down in the future due to smart scammers.  |

ICO's have indeed reduced in number since the introduction of IEO's but does that mean ICO's are dead?, certainly not, ICO's are still alive but struggling to compete with IEO's, the ones that are surviving are dormant, some need funds to move onto their mission, some are stuck in this wide market and the only way ICO's can continue to survive is by regulation.

ICO is over and everyone is turning to IEO. only good projects can develop in IEO, because it all depends on the exchange where the project is doing IEO. without a large exchange IEO will not be successful, and only projects that have funds can do that.
so a scam project will be able to do that.

You could say ICO is not dead but only less profitable. Although there is a bonus, the fact that the loss after entering the market cannot be avoided. I think even IEO can still be indicated scam. Because we don't know when the developer will come out of the game. In this case it might be a learning step for the crypto world to be even better going forward. I believe there will be better projects in the next.

actually ICO/IEO is not really dead. there are still many good projects that are successful today. just look at large exchanges such as binance, they routinely launch a new lunchpad every month and average project that does IEO there ends successfully. so I don't think ICO/IEO is dead. it's just that there are exceptions for projects that have good quality and large funds.

Many here write that ICOs have died, but they themselves carry advertisements for existing ICO and IEO projects. ICO projects have now become really noticeably smaller, but this does not mean that ICOs have died. Now it’s just a very bad period for them. All tokens fell sharply in price and in such conditions, investors prefer not to take risks. At the same time, I see that the quality of those few projects that are now at risk of starting fundraising has generally improved. Although, of course, there are simply fraudulent projects that have no prospects for fundraising.
ICO teams are still waiting for the general rise of the cryptocurrency market, then they will begin to appear on this forum.

IEOs became more popular. ICOs also raised a lot of money. This was higher than their needs. There was too much scam ico. Investors are smarter now. There are many reasons.

It is obvious that the ICO industry isn't yet as profitable as a few years ago, and the number of investors is also decreasing nowadays. Now, most startups prefer to run IEOs which is looking more profitable and attractive to investors than ICOs. The situation of altcoin markets is also not helping ICOs to grow up actually.

The ICO is really dying. Back in 2017 with friends investors discussed this topic. Concluded that inevitably will happen and will be reborn in something another. And so it happened. Now there are IEO and I do not think that it is for a long time, it seems to me that the IEO will soon pass.

With late 2017, we see that crypto has taken lots of attention of people which result in great price increases. After, people started to buy altcoins as well as ICOs. Some scam ICOs made the environment really terrible for the investors. This is because there is no regulation, there shouldn't be I guess, and people didn't know how to invest in these ICOs. After we learned through our mistakes, we started not to invest these dead ICOs and their price went to zero through exit scams. I think, they cleared the way for better projects, we cleared the way through not investing them.

ICO was great at the height of its popularity. but now maybe IEO is the solution to too many scam projects. although it does not guarantee the project is not a scam. at least this reduces the existence of project scams and even fewer new projects are released every day.

my opinion is ambiguous. recently, ICO 90 percent dead. yet 10 percent of them are alive and developing at a rapid pace. from this it follows that we need control over ICO projects that would Scam was not. then everything will work at 100

In my opinion, investors (the targeted market of the ICO projects) are already tired supporting projects, buying tokens with many of them doing it for the long-term because they were convinced of the beauty and potential of the projects and then only to be shocked later that the value of the tokens they are holding just got dumped like a hot potato. And not to mention the many scams and failures which all literally raped investors out of their money, trust and confidence. Then we saw the regulators coming in making it hard to do the crowdfunding in the USA. Though most shifted their attention somewhere but we know that the damage has been done so things are never gonna be the same again. ICOs in their original form can be classified as officially DEAD. This situation has risen to STO and then IEO...but again we are not going back to normal as investors are now very discriminating and just because a project is doing an IEO does not mean that it can get the financial support it is wishing to have. I am thinking...after the IEO will there be another metamorphosis or maybe a variation of the IEO thing? Let's see...

The bull run mushroomed a lot of unplanned and haphazard projects and ICOs. They were focused on collecting money rather than doing the job. One of the reason for such a long depression in crypto is due to ICO. And I'm glad they are going. Crypto surely is a good platform to collect funds but people used it to scam. Now investors would only believe in projects that are actually regulated.
I agree, many ICO's were created specifically for quick collection of money, and then left in an unknown direction. For new project, it is difficult to gain the trust of potential investors, in addition, adverse conditions for new coins. Therefore, we have what we have. |

There seems to be two primary factors at play here.
1) General crypto market depression. With prices still down at least 50% for most coins from ATH people are skeptical. They don't want to let go of what they've already accumulated or what they perceive they "overpaid" on to take yet another risk. Perhaps the fact the drop off occurred after prices tanked is just a delayed effect.
2) Regulations. The US and other countries are cracking down on ICOs. Look at Kin, basically paralyzed by SEC investigations. The price has fallen through the floor. The Kinit app still reminds you ever day to earn some KIN! But those functions are disabled.
If a team or organization can't even properly discern whether the token they're issuing is a security or utility then the average investor probably doesn't have the confidence to dip their toes on, let alone go full bore investing in more ICOs.
Time will tell but I expect a resurgence of ICOs when the market becomes more bullish. When prices skyrocket people are emboldened to take risks they otherwise wouldn't.
These are good points why ICOs had been havig a hard time getting enough money. Not to mention the number of scam ICOs and successful ICOs who also failed to deliver or even launch their product and service due to the market situation. We will see if the same will happen once the market starts to move again. Let us hope we can see some new projects risig once the market starts fully recovering from the recent crash. |

I think they already are dead people are just not leaving hope and still trying to raise funding. I think the concept of ICOs was never good because it wasn't regulated at all. people were just blindly coming up with anything over blockchain and raising funds and were never actually working for that idea. Moreover, most of the investors also never cared about the goals of the project. At most they were bothered about a major exchange listing after which they could sell their holding at an exponential profit. People tried to buy in pre-ico in the anticipation that listing on exchange would fetch a price close to the last selling price. So all on all ICOs are dead and maybe this would pave a path for better projects but in a different refined form where the actions of the team could be accountable.
