I think ICO and IEO totaly dead. Too many scam projects have killed this market.
Even if some new projects try to do ICO, they will not be successful. People simply will not invest, having experience with previous scam ICO.

I know that the failure of ICOs has discouraged many people and made a bad impression on these investment trends, and the very fact that ICOs are very close to death recently, this trend rarely appears in the market. But besides that, we still can't deny that the end of the ICO trend is paving the way for other trends, starting with IEO and later on, there could be a lot of other trends and the safety of investment is starting to improve, projects are also forced to get better over time if they want to seek support from people, ICO death brings a lot of new meanings and revolutions

There is a concept of a new type of ICOs proposed by Vitalik himself -- DAICO -- Decentralized Autonomus ICO. Look it up, pretty neat. I know of one project that actually adopted it and successfully gathered funds using this mechanic. Don't wanna promote them, although you can easily find it in the interwebz. We are yet to see clever concepts like these when the market and audience will be ready. I think that the general concept of ICOs is good, the execution was scammy though Sad

Like with many new good things.

The chart or graph says it all, in the time past, ICOs was the order of day with many coming up daily but today same can't be said again owing to the bad experiences associated with ICOs. The whole truth is, the days of ICOs are gone and investors are now wiser thus minding the projects they invest with; even the rate of IEO investing is reducing gradually.

Those who really good in marketing and knows how to react in market conditions are able to survive in these volatile market, some projects that succeed before seems to be dead or inactive now, some do exit scam if there will be better project this year those who able to survive might not survive sooner so they need to be consistent on having new and useful updates.

Oh well. The gap of absence of projects between the years is quite big now. I was still expecting that they might return to their feet. I like the chart you shown by the way, OP.
This just clearly states that IEO might take over now. I see plenty of those project coming out at bounty sections. I still remember when they were booming back in 2017.

2) Regulations. The US and other countries are cracking down on ICOs. Look at Kin, basically paralyzed by SEC investigations.

Yes, but the U.S. had cracked down on ico's in 2018 I think, so this isn't anything new.

I have a feeling that potential investors have figured out that there is *at best* very little value in ico's, and that most of them are complete scams. There are probably a lot of them that got burned and they aren't going back for more. That's a good thing in my opinion, and I'm glad to see that chart.

If the ico space is dead or dying, I say good riddance.

the reality is that ICO fraud projects are far more than the number of ICO projects that appear in this forum. for example ICO Fraud around 60% and the presence of ICOs that appear on this forum around 40%. yes maybe like that statistics from my observations so far about the 2018-2019 ICO project.

A recent study showed that nearly 80 percent of the initial coin offering or ICOs are scams. It was based on publicly available information and sources. Moreover, just 8 percent of these are able to reach the trading stage on different exchanges. With these figures, it wont be wrong to say that ICOs can not be trusted any longer and investors should not waste their time on such stuff. Market is full of scams, yet there is more to come.

Nowadays project owners are switching to IEO after the massive drop of ICO's during 2018 which makes them realize that crypto investor are now very doubtful on participating in any ICO due to its past history wherein most of the projects are scam or fraud so I think ICO projects will be even lower by 2020 but not dead yet.

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.
https://bitcoinist.com/icos-will-disappear-in-2020-as-data-shows-95-funding-decline/

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?

ICOS are not dead. We still have a host of ICOs launching into the market and still doing well. What makes it seem ICOs are dead is just investors perception about it. Do we need to blame them? A lot of ICOs made away with investors huge funds in the past. So there is a breach of trust.

The idea of raising funds for projects through ICO is not working anymore, that is why IEO took over but the truth is IEO is not doing so well like ICO did in the past but i hope a new solution with take over by 2020, IEO fund raising idea is not enough

Once a project is doing an IEO, still doesn't guarantee that they are legit, scammers are genius too, they know what makes investors attracted, they will have their product to show the community too, but, after IEO they will run away, so let's be careful, and don't just invest and thinking they are real because they did IEO. They are already wiser now, they know that no one will invest in ICO, so they are doing IEO too.

ICO is not dead in my opinion, the Cryptocurrency space is always changing and coming up with new things, first it was ICOs, then it was lending coins and then it was IEOs but if you look closely, you will notice that when one has seemingly disappeared, it would eventually make a comeback although most times it doesn't last, I think ICOs would make a huge comeback when the altz fully kicks in.

I don't think ICO is dead. I just think there is a serious lack of good projects. I like to think people have woken up and are not just investing in anything like they were in before.
Maybe scammers are exhausted? xP There are still questionable projects coming out but they seem a bit better with their presentation. Still... Most of them are just hot air and nothing more. Someone's dreams that will never be reach or just plain chance-taking "If we don't make it at least we have the ICO funds to run off with" seeing as they already have the money why would they follow through with the project especially if it was a difficult one. There need to be some legal agreements so they are legally held accountable because right now they are not and can pretty much do anything and there is very little you can do about it and that is why it keeps happening. It is up to us to stop it and help and warn one another of these threats.

I see the cryptocurrency market is in recession. So it's no surprise that some coins die, ICOs are no exception. ICO has moved to IEO, and this will be a new start for this Token.

ICO still exists. Yes very many scams but so same there are promising newcomers. Now the organizers of the ICO who are confident in their product as well as the success of this product appoint well-known and authoritative people as the face of the company. I think this is the surest way to label yourself as a truthful project. Some of cryptocurrency exchange also use big names in the likeness of Maccaffe.

What happened in 2018 was a warning signal for the ICOs. A lot many of the good projects were failing at the market (along with the scam projects) and it was clear that the investors were no longer interested in over-priced and under-developed projects. But the ICO promoters failed to change their strategy. They continued to price the ICOs in an aggressive manner and paid no attention to advertising their project and sticking to the timelines. Anyway, now it is too late for any of that. Unless a miracle occurs, the ICO market will be gone completely in a year or two.

Yeah, your graph is something correct but i do not think still now ICO's failed ratio is going zero or something like that. But in these current market ICO projects are very rare even some few ongoing but those are almost dead because they can't collect enough fund to build up their projects. But most provably in this year ICO's will be totally dead. IEO is also going something slowly but most of the projects IEO with shit or small exchanges.

Yes I think the concept of ICOs are almost dead because of the failure rate and the greedness of developers who either list the projects in shifty exchanges or else they just run away with money and I don't think ICOs will ever gain trust from investors.

because of fraud that occurs repeatedly that makes investment in ICO began to be abandoned. as long as investment fraud is still available, those who are interested in ICO will continue to decline, and may die because fraud costs many people involved from campaign participants to investors and so far regulations have not been tightened for ICO
