The return of ICOs

[giammangiato]

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?

Many companies have cheated during ICOs but there is something new, there are r-ICOs (Reversible ICO) and during the first selling part the buyers have the option to return back the tokens at any time and receive their associated money (ETH) back. I read about it connected to a new project called Lukso listed on KuCoin

Is it possible to ever see the return of ICOs again? IEOs covered the loopholes that ICO couldn't cover. Hence I doubt there would be a return of ICOs

The number of new ICOs listed  before considering the funds raised are: March 2018 recorded the highest number of new projects entering the database (528), while the number of incoming ICOs has fallen slightly since the end of the summer, with the lowest recorded figure being in October, when there were 213 new listings. In this case, however, the decrease is less evident than the decline of the amount of capital amassed: Therefore, their is a large number of ICOs are still competing for shrinking resources.
The return is not sure, because many are still suffering from what they suffer from in the past.

With the current condition of the crypto currency market, every one had a filled of ico and virtually everyone who invested in start up during the days of ico got their fair share of ico scams. The start of IEOs however brought light and hope for both investors and startups looking to raise money. My take is, IEO as a fundraising scheme is still staying here and i don't think ICO will ever get a momentum in this space again

People will not trust again on ICO because of what happened before. People will always seek something new.

Guys, do you think that ICOs could make a comeback?

I do not know why but I think that the era of ICO is slow down decreasing, to be replaced with IEO although IEO is also still not significant and effective enough. there are still some issues and problems from IEO. There are also some fundraising that is coming since 2019, not only IEO but also STO or IPO.

As reported, the ICO fundraising has been plummeting in 2019, almost 95%. It is a big percentage, right? ICO (Initial Coin Offering) itself was very booming to be used by many projects, moreover, rin 2017-2018.

Based on data taken from https://ico.tokens-economy.com/statistics/ and icobench, there are decreasing fundraising using the ICO from 2018 to 2019 and this year.
1. ICO in 2018

Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in 2018 $7673.97 M

2. ICO in 2019
It has experienced decreases

Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in 2019 $1437.55 M

3. ICO in 2020

Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in 2020 $4.07 M

Seeing from the decreasing statistic during 2019 and 2020, it is difficult for ICO to come up again and reach a high percentage for fundraising. Many new projects and investors are more interested in the latest ways of fundraising.

No ICO nowadays was nothing it will not be profitable if they run ICO on their project it will be just a waste of time specially nowadays who run IEO was successful they give good profit in return to the investor of the project, one more thing the ICO before was terrible when they got the money of the investor they easy run and the investor will not have time to get what they invest.

Its' not the question of ICO returning in the crypto sphere, they didn't left in the first place. The problem is that there are many ICO popping like mushroom with no use case. It just clogged cryptospace, scam investors out of their hard earn money.

And you can't compare them to Silicon Valley startups, those project that became successful is very unique and have something to offer, as compare to ICO today. Of course, there could be one successful project out of 100 and it's really hard to find them.

[Natalim]

At current market situation, I'm not expecting an ICO to come back and I have a little doubt as well that they will in the future, even if the market will be in bull run. Thing is, we already have an IEO, and compared to ICO this one is better, so why people would choose a one that is outdated and risky?

The market has and will evolved, that's why we are already in a new era of crowd funding, exchanges taking the responsibility of selling the coins, so investors will get the assurance that they are not buying shit coins, but this is also provided that we are buying in reputable exchanges.

As we can see in the past, a lot of coins dump right away, that's because the exchange is not reputable, so I suggest if you go for IEO, buy at least in Binance exchange, Huobi, or other exchanges that are not faking their trading volume.

Did you know that there are projects that take advantage of Covid-9 pandemic and turn out to be a scam? [Scam]: All Covid-19 Scam Related Threads.

They have been raising huge money since the boom of ICO in 2017. But I don't think they can come back and have the same enthusiasm from investors because majority of them are going to exit scam and disappear.

i dont think they can ever come back as investors, small or big were burned by these ICOs. maybe if the project is backed by well known company, like top 500 companies. but more then likely, they will fund their own project as crowdsourcing is not a sure thing anymore. if the project has good backing, i think it will be more on private side of funding and not via ICOs anymore.

ICO would still be possible if there are still investors who are willing to put their trust and money nowadays but i guess this is already impossible as IEO has been proven successful to replace ICO. Gone are those days where ICOs have become very profitable way back 2017 and what we have today are only those scammed projects that have turned to be inevitable.

[JahriMeayer]

in my opinion, despite the return of the ICO, investor confidence has dropped dramatically towards the ICO, as scamming histories of ICO isn't known to us. now IEO takes the place of ICO. Possible to raise large funds with high confidence only IEO cause its much more better than ICO

ico havent returned yet but it he was only using some example in order for the ico to return and i agree with him on the covid part . we can use ico to gather funds to revive business or economies that have been broke by covid .

people wont doubt on this one compare to other random projects that they think not beneficial for the whole ecosystem . or maybe this can also be the start for people to gain confidence on other purpose of ico's after covid .

Yes it's possible and why not? The guy above you was talking the same question as you dude.

IEO and ICO still exist and both are the same. The only make both became different was on the instant launch on the exchange site while ico needs to apply manually to be listed on the exchange site.  ICO has already returned.

[metenjean]

Good when ICO have return and comeback but how to get trusted from investor lost much assets with scam ICO project, build new ICO is easy and not get many trouble but very hard when faced big problem how to get back trusted from investor, they will not trust any more when getting new ICO project running right now.

[dupee419]

With how effective IEOs are right now, I really don't think that ICOs would make of a good comeback, many will try establisihing but based on how great establisihing an IEO right now, I don't think building up an ICO would even be a good idea.

ICO will still work normally but I think it will no longer be a trend. There are still many active ICO projects right now, but most are bad projects or scam projects. The heyday of the ICO is over, now only IEO is left on the big exchanges. Each year, a new trend will form and we should focus on the hunt. The trend leaders will often be very rich. IEO trend has helped dozens of my friends buy houses and cars.

There is always a chance, with now companies, banks, countries looking in the direction of the blockchain, they probably will use their "record" or "history" as a long term "institutions" to create more ICOs. This probably can attract more people than before, since those organizations already earned the trust of the public.

I don't think they can and they will be allowed, just look at the thousands of failed ICO, if there is a new project coming in and they picked ICO as their way to generate funds they better v=be sure they are a legit project with good potential because people here are going to looking if your project really has it.
