46% of them are effectively dead already – despite raising over $104 million.
902 crowdsales... 142 failed at the funding stage and a further 276 have since failed

This is a very sad statistics.
So I think that it would be nice to adopt some laws to protect investors and their money.Then there would be more investors who are ready to invest their money in ICO.

Yea, that isn't good news. There is bad tendency of ICO scum appearance. We have to choose every new ICO with extreme caution to save our money. It would be great if the governments will manage it using the law.

If you are sure that the company is good and will develop, then just hold the coins of this company. And if you are not sure of the company or are confident that the company is a moshsheniki, then just sell the coins of this company right away. Can not all companies that go to ICO to be successful.

Perhaps it seems to you because the market has fallen very much in the past 2 months, just wait for growth and then draw constructive conclusions.

Yes your right ist better to wait because i believe that ico will sucessful.

so it's something new that most of ICOs will fail (read - burn money on lambos and hookers)?
Are there more data on these ICOs. My indicator - if ICO gathered more than 30 mil$, than price of them will increase 3x-10x in few months.

Well that is because of this volatile market

Wow, it is rather good index. Here at the forum they like to say that 90% of all ICO are Scam. In general, it is a normal index. Like in real life few companies become successful,blockchain projects can not alwaysshow the growth. Our task is to learn how to define which ico survives and which does not. Then such news will not scare us Wink

Yup I agree this 46% is normal in opinion since theres a lot of promissing ico project launched last year and most of them turn to scam in other term run your money thats a reason investing in ico are so risky think before you invest.
Im thinking that this year more and more ico project will introduce in the matket so I suggest be careful.

Truthfully a 54% success rate is pretty damn good. Obviously more of them can fail but overall I'd say those are pretty good odds of getting into an ICO that will possibly be profitable on the short term as well as the long term.

That's the risk right? Anyone putting money into an ICO has to know that they could lose it all, it would be the same as investing in the early stages of any company. But that's why we all keep trying to find the diamond in the rough and get in on a project when it is in it's infancy to make the biggest gains. Bottom line is that if you invest 1 ETH each in 10 projects, you have spent 10 ETH. 5 of those projects could fail, 3 might make between 1-20%, 1 hits a 100% mark up, and then the last one goes for 2000%. All comes down to not putting all your eggs in one basket, and a big chunk of luck.

I think some of them are just amateur and scam ICO. I think it could have something to do with their team, Not all of them have a professional team, but some have it. I think there will be more ico that will fail in the future. I hope for beginner investors to be more cautious before investing in ICO.

Is this surprising to anyone? Probably not.

The fact is that ICOs just like companies, can die off quite quickly.

There will be an initial period of hype where everyone says that a project is great and all that, but after that it's really up to the actual project and what it is about. That is why you have to do your own research about a project before you invest. The amount raised in an ICO does not determine how much it is going to be worth after an ICO.

Also with the ICO markets saturated, pick your horses wisely. Otherwise, you'll be bound to lose your money.

So this thread is where my best friend read about the ICO's who are dead before the year 2018. Well, 46% is a big percentage of people who thinks that most of the ICO's will end no matter what but we cannot underestimate the remaining 54 % on going ICO's. I know that we cannot underestimate the other thing, but the good thing about it is that we can guarantee that there are ICO's that is good.

It only means that more and more people are getting vigillant because people do a lot of reserching now because from the past there are alot of scam projects who have stole a millions of dollars from the investors,that is why people have learned how to lessen the risk of joing these scam projects,greedy people will always find their way to scam people.

About 80% of new start ups fail within their first year which probably shows that ICOs are still overperforming. There are still a lot of projects that are enjoying success that shouldn't be but that is because we as investors are not yet skilled enough to identify which projects should succeed.

I agree with you. But with over 40 ICOs and over $1 billion raised already in the new year 2018, the nascent industry is on pace to top last year’s mark of $5.6 billion.

2018 will be the year of ICOs. Last year, there were 902 so-called Initial Coin Offerings (or ICO) projects tracked by TokenData. Out of that amount, 142 failed prior to the offering, and another 276 failed after raising funds.

^ And the government regulation on ICO is one of the best move to eliminate the bad ICO and protect the people from the scam token.

This is a great result and i expect that this year 2018 we will encounter better and good ICO from proven and best company switching into blockchain.

Went through quite a few of the pages and failed to recognize the majority of the ICOs, as others have already stated most appear to be small shite ICOs that were pretty obvious scams which some would have fell for.

On the other hand, these figures indicate that half of the ICO campaigns conducted last year, namely about 450, were successful. Even if half of them do not survive the competition, it will still mean several hundred absolutely promising and necessary to new people tokens. Therefore, this is evidence of the usefulness and need for ICO campaigns in the future. Investors simply need to learn more about the prospects of ICO projects and its team, as fraudulent projects will continue to exist in the future.

This is normal, that 46% ICO within 1 year vanish out of thin air. But what i'm afraid of, This year it will be 70% ICO will take your money and run. And nobody is there to stop this madness. I see ICO with one Domain, 1 whitepaper ( make no sense), 1 twitter account, 1 fb account, and 1 medium blog. Total cost $50 and the raise in ICO $1 million. This is very good business now.
