The return of ICOs

[Denamen]

ICO has lost popularity and have disappointed many investors, of course, ICOs will never come back, investors are more satisfied with investments that guarantee their money and IEO are the choices of investors nowadays, so just forget about ICO

ICO will still exist in this market and in recent times the form of fundraising of Defi projects makes me think of 2017. There are indeed a lot of new projects using this method of raising capital and I also feel a bit worried about what's going to happen. Defi may be a trend that people are interested in, but if you do not check it carefully, you will easily lose money in this market.

Yes, and many of ICO are scam. This because many now engage in creationnof tokens and do a project to which budget will be coming from the crowd. However, since this activity is not being regulated so many will be tempted to abuse and instead of implementing the project team or the owner will going to run away with the money. And if you will going to check also with ICO had drop the number of investors due to some.country restricting community to invest in ICO projects but limited to bitcoin and other strong altcoins.

Of course, return ICO is possible. But after the disappointment it has brought to many investors, I don't think it will be easy to gain trust. People are learning from their mistakes and are now choosing a safer method of investing in a project.

Yes, IEO is still there so any new project even how legit they are, why would they consider doing ICO if they know how lack of trust for ICO from the community? I don't think ICO can make a return to the scene that easy as long there is IEO.

It depends on the project itself, for example now that DeFi projects are growing bigger in crypto space if a new DeFi project with good noticable partnerships comes around to use ICO for fund raising do you think it will fail? No, investors will rush out to buy of cause

ICO isn't 100% dead, some capable project will still do fine using ICO, avalanche used ICO to raised 42 million dollars this year and that became possible because the project has what it takes for investors to trust the team, it's a very high quality project

The ICOs are already in existence but in a new form that is IEO which is the same as ICO but a different way. IEO the Initial Exchange Offer as the name suggests it has directly offered the coin or the token in the exchange platform. As the crypto's rules and regulations have already legalized gradually in many economies so IEOs will be a great phenomenon in the next decade. So, this concept will go in future without any obstacles.

the system is always being updated and looking for the best from ICO to IEO, but what we enjoy and witness, there are no fundamental changes. What makes it changeable is the behavior of the person running the program so that they can avoid all fraudulent cases that are under the guise of repair but do not happen. as long as there is no intention to improve and change whatever form is made it will not solve the problem which is already complicated

ICOs are long abandoned and only high rated promising new projects still use ICO, like 2% out of 100% new projects still use ICO to raise money, investors don't trust ICO till date but can invest if the project is a big one only

[Jeger.Kiting]

I think if a new project still uses an ICO to help develop its project there is no problem, at least there is good trust for investors and the public so that they can believe in the ICO they are running ..

Indeed, we know that ICOs have been in use in recent years by systems run by new projects, and have turned to IEOs that have very good confidence in the interests of investors and the public, but is there anything better than ICO / IEO for a fairer system and good for the project itself or investors and the community ??

There's STO out there which is regulated, that means the investor can trust the project, but im not hearing any development from STO coins or news, i heard STO projects have a hard time selling which is why you don't get to hear STO. I guess the best form of crowdfunding right now is IEO because of the guaranteed exchange and public trust.

Therefore I ask and find out which is better than that, so everyone chooses IEO instead of STO or ICO because the IEO we know is guaranteed in the Exchange itself, but there are also those who don't use all three but they are successful, so actually This depends on whether the project itself is consistent or not and the development team is very good at implementing what is needed by the public and investors.

Now most of the current ICO projects are scams and if you choose this investment form to raise money, the failure rate will be very high. People have been more interested in the Defi projects lately and by comparison, it has a lot in common. I am very careful when deciding to invest in new projects because if there is nothing outstanding, I will definitely ignore it and never trust it 100%.

DIA was also giving a very good example about there was an ico that can touch its hardcap and so far everything can change anytime especially the trust from the investors too.
It's about the matter of time until ico will be getting back its reputation.

This year I saw over 100 ICOs, but only 1-2 were successful because they have a strong and well known development team. That is why they can raise funds at this point, ICOs are really dead since 2019. No small project can successfully raise funds in this form.

Defi is the new ICO guys. ICO asks you for money and then they hope their tokens get listed and people speculate.

If you put into DEfi itself, yes you can earn 4% a year or whatever, but most people will also use their Defi token to speculate!

Defi projects are currently using an ICO to raise funds for their project. They succeed because Defi has a huge hype coming from top projects, so new projects get a lot of attention from investors. But you also need to be really careful because a lot of fake projects have appeared and it will cost you money if you invest in them.

Guys, do you think that ICOs could make a come back? I do and here is why. Every year dozens of companies raise money in Silicon Valley for startups, many pre revenue. Also, with the economy injured from nCov19, it would make sense to allow for new economies. This would include letting new startups in Blockchain raise money, and imo if they are well vetted, and trusted by the community, they should be allowed to raise money. What do you think?

Quite difficult. It's true that Still there are so many ICOs are available in market but most of them get failed and get scammed. A few are able to get successful but price is getting down. So trusting on ICOs is not a wise decision. No chance to buy ico project

ICO is bad investment right now because many scammer try to get and make ICO project without responsibility for listing on exchange market, we can't trust with ICO owner right now they left much investor money and never bring back their coin with good price and good exchange for listing.

ICO seem to be being forgotten and will definitely be difficult to attract as before. However, in recent times a lot of potential ICO projects for investors and are starting to return. Of course, investors have become smarter, and they always check carefully when choosing to invest. I'm not sure about the future of ICO, but I believe that ICO will be an integral part of the crypto market.

As i said, its hard to find out good ico project. ICOs are still risky cause main scamming process is still same. ICOs launched by scammers  and after token sell you don't have anything to do if they wouldn't add their project on any exchange

And one more thing is that, there are only a few ico nowadays. Most of them are now IEO. So, it means that you can't really find a good ico project. The only ico project that remains are the one that still not improved. Meaning, it is either their intention is to scam or they are not good enough to make something new or changes for their project.

[simmikaur]

for me i think it is not possible because of the scams done in the pat by ico projects. however their were good projects as ell nust most of the projects were scam. now most of the people do not believe in the ico instead they prefer the new one IEO.

It is difficult for a new project to do an ICO and get sales results like in 2017. I think the ICO has begun to fade and began to be replaced with IEO. New exchanges are constantly popping up and also doing IEO on projects and in my opinion the ICO trend has begun to sink

new exchanges that do IEO will not get investors. if there is a project like that then ignore it. New projects must focus on developing first with the launch of a prototype platform. if the market already knows if the project is going well, of course waiting for investors to come to provide development funds will be easy.

Agree with you, investors are only interested in reputable and liquid exchanges. If IEO were to perform on small and new exchanges, I believe they would fail like ICOs

It has happened a lot in many IEOs, sales do not reach the target because the IEO is held in small exchanges. Binance or other large exchanges are still a favorite for investors and not all new projects are able to do IEO in the exchanges. I think it is natural that large exchanges carry out strict verification, because it involves their reputation

Recently a few ICOs got successful. But someone shouldn't think about this is the new hope of returning it because ICOs cheated with people so much that people are not going to trust on ICOs anymore. So i haven't found any possibility returning ICOs in future

There are still few projects trying to hold their ICOs. Maybe we will encounter 1 or 2 that will hit their targets, but I think that's it. People got burned so badly during ICO hype. So I don't think there's real comeback for this crowdsourcing type. They better forget this way of scheming people and just do their real job of raising funds like tapping private investors and such.

[MikeyVeez]

ICOs that were managed in late 2019 and 2020 provide similar excuses, due to COVID-19, they can´t follow the roadmap and everything will be postponed. We know how it will end up. After a few months team will be completely silent. 

[jacafbiz]

ICO is back and we are just beginning to see the return. The good side is that most of the projects are releasing their MVP before raising money from the space but the bad is that most of the tokens are being kept by the team and the early investors this is something that retail investors need to look out for
