most of the ico fail due to many factors ranging from funding, bad ideas, wrong strategies, unprofessional teams and more and more ico scam makes people afraid to join into ico and in the end 50% of many ico fail.
I think it needs more repair either for organizers ico or any party that supervise.

- 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
Wait a second. How did those 276 ICOs failed? Because they are not x10 or x100 already? You gotta give time to the project developers. The 142 ICOs that failed during the ICO phase, it's not necessarely a fail for the investors, as, I assume, the got their money back.
I repeatedly got on some kind of standing projects that could not even earn a soft cap and those coins or tokens that I received were simply nothing.
Investments in ICO are associated with a large number of risks, since this area is not regulated. There are both trade risks (a decrease in the price of tokens or a drop in the value of the cryptocurrency, the bankruptcy of the company, etc.) and non – trading-in particular, ordinary fraud. 70% of the investment is vanished in the thin air. It is necessary to regulate this area.

Most likely 90% of ICO are scams.
If they did not do a fair adoption thru PoW , they were just money grabs.
I know DADI has been one of the hyped project very recently and sold out within 10 minutes. It's on exchanges now with a price less than its ICO. At this rate, better not to jump in to WANCHAIN with high price, it will comedown anyway after couple of days.
ICO's aren't the same as how they were a couple of years ago. Many have dropped below ICO price levels. There will be a few that will produced huge returns but those will be rare and will take a lot of patience.
Coins in the cryptocurrency world always up and down, before we join in bitcoin for serious reason like invest we must know about that case first. That is risk for all of the bitcoiners. So its all about the risk, but there are a lot of ico who have good future too

Yes i work in almost 5 campaign only 1 paid my signature campaign. Why this people doing that kind we are expecting a payment because we work very hard to advertise their coins.
I somehow expected it to be a lot higher than 46%... if you look at overall business after securing some funding how many fails in the first year, i would expect more than half?
I agree with this because most of the ICOs last year are not trustworthy. ICO become a trend last year that most of them are just acquiring funds through desprate investors who need to gain profits because of the bitcoin's price drop. This make the ICOs reputation low but on the other hand, investors now is much aware about the future of the ICO they are investing.
Sad news but true. There's a lot of ICO's with bounty campaigns here ended up failing halfway, halting their marketing campaigns because of some problems. They don't say it but I think they are lacking funds to run the campaign and the project. I guess people are really craving for something unique to invest their money in to nowadays 
As people say this percentage is not so high
I think this report can help beginner investors to be more careful before investing in ICO

I don't think it's a bad news.
When you pay attention to the percenatage, yes 46% is high. But 104 million dollar is not that much. EOS as one of successful ICOs has marketcap of 6 billion dollar. So 104 miilion dollar is not high.

This is no surprise to me. I expect more ICO's to die in next few months.
When you check their website and whitepaper you can get an idea. Most of them are bunch of rubbish. I still don't understand why people invest without research.

That's why many countries are banning their citizens from investing in ico. But the ban is very good and the government is preventing its citizens from investing wrongly.
I'm sure the future of ico will decrease, because the developers will continue to race to make the best ico.

This is the sad news. The lesson is that we have to be more careful picking the ones we are going to invest in. I don't think 46% was scam, just a lot of them did not make it, because they failed on the way.

Thanks for providing a source for this information. I'm intrigued and somewhat worried that more ICOs will fail. I think it could have to do with their team and that their project was not essentially viable. Picking a good project is key- however we're all investing in coins that we believe will prosper. I have 25 eth locked up in one ICO at the moment however I believe that I've picked a great one with a great team and working project already.

If ICO fail I don't see a problem. Investor saw it will not work and did not invested. Noone lost anything beside ICO organizers. Different story if when ICO fails after they gather investors money and spend it. But is also normal not that many will succeed, but of course is hard to fail in just a year with few millions USD collected. It will take few years for most to fail.
I do not know what is the definition of failed used here, if it means price dump then we cannot say that the project has failed, while i think only the low quality projects have faded away who have struggled with everything like presenting a product or service or even listing on a decent exchange. So always do your research and invest only in quality projects during ico.
