Are ICOs/IEOS/STOs generating funding in 2019?

Are token sales pulling investment still, or is it dead?

Sources to facts and stats to support opinions would be great

I think the one that is still generating funds for the project is IEO.
There have been many successful IEO and managed to raise funds according to the target of the project, you can see IEO in Binance, Bitforex, Dcoin, Kucoin they produce and quite large so I think this is still worth investing.

According to some shared statistics if its proven truthful. some ICO's are still able to raised some money, But its just a small amount comparing before, But in IEO's those projects that listed on a well known exchange like Binance, Kucoin was able to raised much funds and sold its tokens in seconds, for me its quite impressive achievement so far. But in STO i don't think its still alive or its just not publicized form of fundraising.

It is not dead yet because they are still getting investment from the investor, the only difference is, they were not able to reach their initial softcap to develop the project. forcing them to shut down the project or extend the sale time hoping for more money.
one from many projects that failed to meet their softcap and shutting their project https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5180556.msg52684029#msg52684029

In my opinion the golden age of the ICO is over, now it has evolved into an IEO that has advantages over ICO.
In the view of beginners like me, IEO was able to compete and was able to answer what investors had problems when ICO at that time.

Yes, the heyday of the ICO is over now. IEO, which has a lot of interest from investors, I also don't know yet whether IEO will be overwhelmed or like ICO going forward, let's just wait.
What is clear in the sale of IEO in large exchanges is always profitable for its investors.

Its not dead but in sluggish condition, if you assume it already die, so there no bounty and airdrop, and at this time development of blockchain and crypto continue growing even it move slow, because some news about that.

[dcomomal]

90 percent of them are dead, I am not even speaking about ICOs and STOs that stopped delivering profit during 2018, but about IEOs. IEOs are profitable only on some exchanges like Binance, Huobi or Okex, but even those are now struggling to get over the token sale price.

[LouVandetta]

IEO is more popular nowadays since it's already shown its success for the past few IEOs, especially on a certain top Exchanges. But some IEOs were kinda a let down as well.
As for ICO, it's not that great either, some still managed to reached their soft cap and performed quite well in the market, but the others either they're already dead or on the brink of death.

[sazonk]

The ICO era is now over, the most popular for now is the IEO, many IEOs have succeeded, raising funds through IEO is felt to be more effective than ICO, because IEO is organized by exchangers, in general large exchagers have successfully organized IEO such as Bittrex and Binance, but Keep in mind that although many IEOs are successful, there are also many IEOs that have failed even though they are supported by large exchangers.

[krb91]

Many projects organizing a crowdsale exercise are finding it very difficult to raise funds,  with many extending their crowdsale. In most cases, however, projects fail to reach soft cap. That is why the fee that can,  opt for private funding and go straight into development without holding an ICO/IEO/STO. An example of such a project would be Veil.

in 2019 I still see a number of projects that rely on ICO but to be able to collect and for the development of the project it is better to use IEO in a better and more reliable exchange place because this year only collection using the IEO method can be successful and can be trusted more by many investors for cooperating with large exchange venues such as Binance exchange sites or others that have a good reputation.

I don't think that you need great proof to know if the ICO/IEO/STO market is thriving. Just check the announcement forum here within Bitcoin talk. Seems to be doing well from my point of view. As a matter of fact, just check the Altcoin Marketplace forum here on Bitcointalk, then go to the Bounties section, that should be all of the proof that you need in order to know whether or not these crowdfunding vehicles are dead or thriving.

Besides the answer that @dcomomal, we need to analyze from 2017 until today what was the percentage of ICOs that were successful? It would be great to have this statistic, because with that we would know how much losses these "ICOs/IEOS/STOs" brought to people. And it would also be nice if we had statistics on how many people made profits and what profits they made from these "ICOs/IEOS/STOs". I particularly agree with @dcomomal said

IEO - Yes, there are a lot of successful IEO's this year alone. Obviously because of the backing of crypto exchanges, specially top-tier like Binance.

ICO - Seems to be on the downward spiral. Lots of projects are either pulling out because they even haven't reach the soft cap or simply pulling a exit scam.

STO - Maybe the same faith as ICO, investors are still shunning because of the current bear market.

The ICO and IEOs are still operational, although to a lesser extent. But I think STOs were not very suitable for this market. I guess we don't already have a successful application.

2017 was the year of ICO, investors n startups both earned heavily. 2018 was bearish while in 2019 ico got another name i.e. IEO. Likewise in start everyone rushed towards IEO in hope of fortune, let's see how they perform in next year.

IEO is very famous now.
There are also many IEO which are detrimental to investors,will be make the reputation of IEO fail in the future like IEO in Binance,Bitforex,etc.
When IEO dies in the future,a new program will be reappear to attract the attention of investors joining.

The funding clearly moved to IEO it's a clear pattern people are getting tired of dealing with someone they dont even know and letting their money in the hand of someone who might turns out as such irresponsible developer anymore. Every IEO will absolutely getting listed and that make people rest easy not worrying about if the project listed to an unknown exchanges instead. the ICO that could still hold up until now is probably the best out there because getting funding from ICO is becoming a lot harder and harder because people are more cautious.

while i dont have the statistics to back this up, its my opinion IEOs ARE dying.  People are realizing they are no different then ICO's
People got burnt really bad blindly buying into IEOs, looks at poor VBK on trex : / https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/veriblock/
a near 100% loss from the IEO price, and its good tech!  it just goes to show an IEO is not a guarantee of profit (except for the devs, as usual )
