The bull run mushroomed a lot of unplanned and haphazard projects and ICOs. They were focused on collecting money rather than doing the job. One of the reason for such a long depression in crypto is due to ICO. And I'm glad they are going. Crypto surely is a good platform to collect funds but people used it to scam. Now investors would only believe in projects that are actually regulated.

ICOs have morphed into IEO and the change is for good. The number of ICOs/IEOs too have dramatically decreased as investors have become more concerned about their investments. There are some shady exchanges that are listing IEOs with zero research and analysis just for a small fee but most of the people are now aware of such practice. Only the IEOs issued from a promising exchange are getting attraction while other are not fully funded. This is making the project team more dedicated to make their project look promising and actually working to prove their authenticity. It doesn't mean it would filter every scam but it would filter the most of them.

The firm is getting the information from icohash only which already disappeared or dead. Bitcointalk is much better than it consider about so many icos are always coming everydays.
That firm must use icodrop and crypto rank as the best source to get the latest information regarding the new icos.
Icohash is not a reliable source to create an analization.

There seems to be two primary factors at play here.
1) General crypto market depression. With prices still down at least 50% for most coins from ATH people are skeptical. They don't want to let go of what they've already accumulated or what they perceive they "overpaid" on to take yet another risk. Perhaps the fact the drop off occurred after prices tanked is just a delayed effect.
2) Regulations. The US and other countries are cracking down on ICOs. Look at Kin, basically paralyzed by SEC investigations. The price has fallen through the floor. The Kinit app still reminds you ever day to earn some KIN! But those functions are disabled.
If a team or organization can't even properly discern whether the token they're issuing is a security or utility then the average investor probably doesn't have the confidence to dip their toes on, let alone go full bore investing in more ICOs.
Time will tell but I expect a resurgence of ICOs when the market becomes more bullish. When prices skyrocket people are emboldened to take risks they otherwise wouldn't.

Even after the onset of the bear market in January 2018, ICOs were still happening at a rate
of well over a hundred each month, but by 2019 the flow of projects had dwindled to almost nothing.
ICO PROCEEDS DROP TO $338M..
According to figures from cryptocurrency analytics firm LongHash and published on October 1,
ICOs are no longer profitable. They may even disappear completely in 2020, said researchers.

But here on BitcoinTalk we see new [ANN] threads and [BOUNTIES]
Is this just smoke and mirrors or does this forum know something researchers do not?
