I think when governments start talking on TV about cryptocurrencies and introduce regulation then these figures will grow significantly.
Governments rule the media and society, so expecting to advertise by governments is not a good idea. Total market cap will grow but the help of governments can accelerate the process if it happens.

25% of Americans know about ICOs

15% of them plan to make investment via ICOs!

15% of 25%= Around 3.75%

A good percentage for the start. Considering that the economic power of USA citizens is good, the contribution of these investments may be big.

This is very good data. I am sure it will do the crypto markets a great deal of good. However, the USA is a very funny country. Their regulations may stop the citizens from participating in ICOs.

if the government can give a statement to support cryptocurrency until it is broadcast on TV then that will make the condition of the cryptocurrency price go up again, but that is not possible in an easy way.

This is quite a large figure, in my opinion, given the fact that the market has been under the influence of bears for more than a year. I think that soon the market will grow again and the number of people willing to invest in ICO will increase. Therefore, continue to believe in cryptocurrencies and continue to look for promising ICO projects.

Even much more than that are ready to invest in ICO but the government don't make it easy for the american citizens to participate in ICO or even invest in any kind of crypto project that haven't been registered by the government, this is why a lot of companies that carry out ICO and create exchanges always restricts American citizens from participating, so that they won't face any kind of issues in the future.

when some kind of regulation of the ICO market by the government appears, the numbers will be completely different.
I do not expect anything like that will be possible in near future. Because, this forum is purely decentralized in this regard hence we need to take ourselves secure by our own not by any authority hence no law will be possible to bind ICO operators. It means those number may change slowly as regulations is very unlikely to happen.

All I know is that I know nothing.
of course you would expect such fabricated results from a website that its whole existence purpose is to advertise ICOs and live off of them! otherwise such stats would have been closer to reality 2 years ago where the ICO hype was still ongoing not like now that it is already dead and gone. nowadays people either don't know what ICOs are or if they know about them they also know how scammy they are.

The survey is not made by InitialCoinList.com but by https://lendedu.com/

Also, have you seen binance launchpad?

The ICO hype was the same as the crypto hype in general.. The current slowdown is no different than the current global cryptocurrency state..

ICO is not dead and it won't be for a while.

first of all you say LendEDU as if it is a reliable source for this type of surveys! well it is not.
secondly what you are failing to mention in your own website (the article that was published by you on Match 2019) and this topic (which is again in 2019) is that the survey result was published in October 2017 which means it was conducted right in the middle of the ICO hype in 2017! NOT 2019. that hype my friend is dead and is never coming back.
if you do the same survey today the percentage is going to be closer to 0

before all this the same hype was going on with premined shitcoins. and in the future there will be new hype like there always is, in a different form with a different type of scams. they are trying to push STOs but they are failing because they are exactly the same as ICO and people aren't going for them.

Payment Gateway Allows Recurring Payments
There's no assurance that these people will invest to ICOs. I think this is mindsetting for the people when the boat of ICOs are ready to go again. ICOs are likely to be dead now and people are scared of investing again so before buying to anyone, you need to verify if that project is worth taking and you can go on with the risk that it has. I don't think that there's a certain amount of Americans that are ready to invest in ICO and if they really are ready then we will see.

Planning and actually investing are two different things I don't know if the survey includes knowing the risk involving in Cryptocurrency because if they knew the figure will be lower, but if we have some form of regulation it will become higher than the above statistics.

Now, when the market is dominated by bears, the credibility of the ICO is severely undermined. This percentage will increase significantly when the bulls return to the market. In addition, the ICO may be replaced by a more perfect way of crowdsale, namely STO.

So almost 4 out of 100 Americans are ready to invest in ICOs? So this means 1 in every 25? It doesn't sound very right, especially since they should know by now what happened to over 90% of ICOs. I thought Americans were better with their money and especially with all the conditions politically and economically, I would think Americans are more interested in storing wealth than investing, meaning Bitcoin over ICOs. Then again, maybe they think they can borrow money from their banks to invest. Strange isn't it? Pouring fiat into ICOs.

SEC is not created STO but SEC just release regulation frame work for that, It's a lot of number but the strict regulation in USA was creating a very bad situation for them all. Just try to hope there will be a market that will be free from manupulation that makes SEC can approve it.
If you hoping the crypto market is free of manipulation, I don't think the SEC will ever accept Crypto, because in my opinion the crypto world will continue to be manipulated by the big players

Americans are ready, but ICOs are not ready to invest. In addition, it makes more sense to choose the safe STO created by the SEC. In any case, 3.75% of American population is not small number, and and it would pleasure to us that these figures are correct.

Well, in America, where very strictly with cryptocurrency is a good indicator. When the state legalizes the ICO, the number will increase more.

if this were actually true then we would have already seen some signs of it which means ICOs wouldn't have been failing as hard as they are failing nowadays.
you can't claim people are willing and ready to invest in ICOs while the reality their actions shows that they no longer trust them let alone want to invest in any of them!

Americans are not the most widely users of cryptocurrency it's has a bit of ban in the US and most ico project put some restrictions to US citizens so am not so amazed by that statistics
I agree with your opinion that the ban on Americans who are prohibited from taking part in the ICO,
perhaps for the foreseeable future all restrictions will be a slight change for Americans

This will only become possible if the regulation will be in place, until then it's hard to expect that good percentage to invest in the market.
It will be a big help for adoption of course, Americans are earning better compared to some countries so they have the capability to invest and in overall this will help to increase the marketcap and the trading volume.

That was not a great idea if you simply put that 3.75% of american ready to invest in the ICO because americans know the risk of the investment in the crypto
