It is becoming unsustainable to run ICO. This is because many people that were investing before are no more investing and new investors are now considering investing in some high top exchange platform that will offer IEO. Even most projects rely on the fund contributed by the investors, they still make do with some money from their pocket to develop their platform and for marketing. All these monies will actually be accrued to a loss. Some few ones that launch ICO could not even raise 10% of the soft cap not to talk of the lengthy period of time it even takes them to raise this few money. Many of them today are dead on arrival while some are still struggling to develop the project.

Not sure all ico are dead i saw some ico still exist but yes its totally difrent with 2 years ago not too many people are interested in this.
IEO maybe is better but sure you need to have knowledge about what IEO you will take a part, both have more risk for now just becarefull

Right, Many ico's pre sale & private sell on live in the market but at the end if success doesn’t come.
EZ365,Tycoin,SwapZilla,Xcard,Hawk those projects started pre sale without IEO still any single project can't start trade in market. This is the condition of ico projects. Investors demotivated to invest ico projects. IEO is some better role play when it was successfully created hype among investors but day by day it’s going to disappear.

I belive this bear market in the last year is to a great extent answerable for the decrease in ICOs aside the way that numerous ICOs have ended up being big scams and IEOs are not seeming to be as well known either in any event, for the enormous trades. I think the crypto market will decide how well a tasks token deal will go

maybe some projects decided to wait for a more stable market
if no one is investing their money now why should they launch an ICO
A project that is really good does not really have any reason to wait, they are going to get investors if what they are proposing makes sense and they have a chance of becoming successful in the future.

The only projects that are waiting for things to improve are those that have no chance of becoming successful on their own and depend on the market to be in the middle of a bubble to get some kind of success and it is obvious that if you are a serious investors you should not ever invest in those projects.

Couldn't agree more, a good project that actually has the right ingredients to succeed don't necessarily need to wait for the right moment to lunch because one people can see the potential in that project they are eager to jump in, so why prolong sale or look for the right time if the project is sound enough?

Take Gram project for example, that project was heavily supported by investors even when the market was not very friendly, because the potential of project was high, this is a solid project that will give good return of investment, any good project will have investors no the condition of market.

It is the same funds in BTC or ETH amount but the fiat rates are half of the previously invested amounts. The rates have dropped a lot and the chances decrease for the new projects to launch the new token sale. The lack of perspective makes it hard to convince crypto investors to invest further.
After increasing with lower price of ethreum many ICO dead because they received payment platform using ethereum and have higher payment fee for listing coin on exchange market and make ICO have lower price after listing, but when ethereum as payment platform stable with higher price I think have possibility to make ICO success on higher price.

I don't think that eth prices affect the ICO growth process, so when you open up some of the existing history that when eth reaches high prices there are some projects that use the eth platform don't achieve success. so think about their platform, not the eth price.

What is happening now is that there are scam projects everywhere and  those with pitiful thoughts or blockchain innovation information are presently out and the not many that have the genuine information on how things work are the ones thinking of ventures now. And most new projects are copycats and stealing other people’s ideas

Perhaps we can say the ICOs is dead, but we won't know if the ICOs will be able to rise again in the future. But indeed, the ICOs has suffered to meet the investor right now, and perhaps they are still trying to survive at the moment. But perhaps the situation will be better in the future for the ICOs, so the ICOs will be able to return in the future and give the investor the profit.

ICO will never be able to revive as before because people are feeling very bored and do not have any projects that can bring good returns to investors. Currently, the popular form of investment that people are interested in is IEO because this is a new way to make money in this market. There may still be some risks, but this is the only way to stay away from scam projects in the near future.

Personally, I consider IEO an upgraded version of ICO and hope that this form of investment will be mentioned even more because last year there were so many successful projects.

Icos have been replaced already by ieos, and while ieos had a certain period in which they were very popular we are experimenting once again with ieos what happened with icos.

People are losing confidence in ieos because they are not performing as expected, and while this may surprise some investors it doesn't really surprise me because the only thing that has changed is the way the developers received the money from investors but the projects behind that process have not changed at all.

IEO's still not a guarantee that they are legit replacement of ICOs so we should still extra careful of IEOs as most scammers are also doing this in those exchanges that list IEO at low listing fee, so they are taking granted for it, also does not guarantee that if they are legit we will have more income because it still depends on their project.
at least we can see the seriousness of the project that will sell IEO. logically, there are no good projects that are willing to have their coins traded on bad exchanges. although with expensive fees if they are serious about looking for investors I think it is important for developers to consider the best exchange. at least it reduces the risk of a scammer.
There are many ieos taking place in bad exchanges and many people are participating in them so that is not really a protection and even if an ico takes place in a good exchange that still does not guarantee anything.

At best those ieos will be slightly better than icos but that is all, even if those coins are not scams you are risking your money in something which has a huge failure rate and in which most investors have lost any interest as they have lost too much money to similar projects.

As I would see it, not all ICOs kicked the bucket in light of the fact that there were some that I knew had the option to accomplish the delicate top objective contrasted with certain activities that did IEO. It may be hard to accomplish the hard top objective when economic situations are bad but rather it requires another undertaking that is acceptable and has an association with a notable organization so investors trust in ICO returns
if there is a successful ico at the moment I think it's difficult friends, because for years ico has been damaged by people who do scams and something like this, and this makes me think it's not easy to restore confidence in this type of offer by ICO but I don't know, maybe this year will there is a successful ICO but as far as I know last year the performance of the ICO has drastically decreased compared to 2018.

ICOs are almost dead now, that's obvious even without any graphs. Hope the things will change when the altcoin season comes. Many good projects are delaying their tokensales now, waiting for better times.
I also think this way, that projects that have good management will refrain from launching their products because the current market still does not provide much benefit for them, maybe the investment will not be in the form of ICOs and they will follow a new trend to get investors.
Aside from the current situation we have in the market right now, investors are not so easy to invest like they were before. They tend to be more cautious and it is one of the reason why ICO never succeed after so many scam projects appear.
You mean a new crowdfunding that will be the new trend? It is possible, if it only helps to bring back the confidence of investors from investing in coin offering again.

ICO is gone because of projects that is scam before. Project manager decided to stop it because it might not succeed since almost all of the investors does not trust ICO anymore. So for sure it will never gonna go back again. We must try to play around the current coins that we have since those are trusted coins.

The current low tide of ICO may be directly related to the funds in the crypto market. Affected by the bear market in the crypto market, funds on the market have shrunk. The low tide of ICO is normal. When the market returns to normal, I think the ICO will still be lively. After all, there are still many in the market For greedy people, only under legal restrictions, ICOs go formal, so that funds will come in.
