There are still tokens who have been able to generate funds either through ico, sto or ieo. But the number has reduced compared to previous years.

I believe the above listed process of fund raising has helped alot of projects in 2019, have witnessed many of them hit their hard cap and are doing very well right now

Are token sales pulling investment still, or is it dead?

Sources to facts and stats to support opinions would be great

Some IEO's that were launched in big exchanges were able to gather some funds this year but many are struggling in reaching their target. ICO's in 2019 are almost dead and was replaced by IEO's to gather some funds from the investors.

Generating funds this year is very difficult due to market condition but it cannot be considered as dead, we can consider that most of the investors right now are sleeping and they will wake up in the right time once the market will start to recover again.

In my opinion, ICO and STO are almost completely dead, but IEO still shows itself well. However, a couple of weeks ago my friend said that some kind of ICO had successfully ended. I think that soon the situation will change very much.

It still happens regularly in our market. Instead of ICO programs, it is the IEO programs, ICOs are dead. However, IEO programs have sprung up causing investors' confidence in Altcoin has gradually been restored.

ICOs are still around but they do not generate as many funds as IEOs. Most are never successful. STOs have been relatively quiet. I cannot point out any project that have successfully raised funds through it. IEOs still seem to be the most realistic way to do a token sale but even now, it is being manipulated by some exchanges and in connection with some project owners

The link is not very handy, but it can be used for some statistics: https://www.coinschedule.com/stats-quantity
According to the calculations of this site, millions of dollars are invested in the ICO/IEO/STO market each month. Obviously, without this site if you are involved with this business, it is easily visible. Just look around, look at the IEO market, it is not hard to see.
With such a large turnover of money, we can conclude that ICO and IEO are still quite popular among investors to make money. Moreover, IEO which is supported by trusted exchanges with high trading volume, will be easier to attract the attention of many people to join. Moreover, the exchange has a good portfolio in handling IEO.

What i have observed is that funding market is almost dead at the moment and only some IEOs with backing from biggest exchanges have seem to attract the required funds and such projects are not many just a handful this year which is really disappointing and just goes to show how bad the situation is in the market.

ICO isn't die yet still possible to rise funds by ICO, if project idea is interesting. Some different also need, more good than IEO. Because only top exchange IEO is getting success in some hours when others exchange IEO is running over a month. Even some IEO is also scam. More secure and interesting process also need.

According to some shared statistics if its proven truthful. some ICO's are still able to raised some money, But its just a small amount comparing before, But in IEO's those projects that listed on a well known exchange like Binance, Kucoin was able to raised much funds and sold its tokens in seconds, for me its quite impressive achievement so far. But in STO i don't think its still alive or its just not publicized form of fundraising.
Just like when ICO became one of the popular and very profitable fundraisers, IEO is the belle of the moment. With a good reputation from global exchanges such as Binance, Huobi, Okex, etc. provide maximum strength for the formation of market capacity. Of course, this union is strongly supported by the strength of the project. Although the fake IEO held by shitexchange is not strong enough to shake the strength of a global exchange that has a good reputation, so I think this period will be quite long compared to the previous ICO which was then destroyed because of the many fake projects.

The first and the last are dead, that is ICO and STO only IEO is still trying but if care is not taken will join others. This is because, people have understood the game going on during IEOs, the pump and dump, most of the projects not having any tangible idea or concept, the immediate profit nature and so on. But on the other hand, IEOs really helped to reduce exit scam but in other cases, it is found wanting.

Be careful about buying such risky coins in a bear market, they could bring you a nice profit and especially multiply your BTCs and ETHs, but there is a big risk connected to these kind of investments because if people are afraid of byuing Bitcoin, they will go to more risky assets?

Just very few token sales are successful this year compared to previous years. The mishap causes by ICO scams last year really affected investors hence many are skeptical. Well, with the introduction of more revamped crowdfunding  approaches, there is hope for start-ups. ICO in particular to me is dead, very few people are interested in STO, IEO on reputable exchanges still succeed and the new IMO (initial model offering) looks OK.

You can see many IEOs projects seem like dying now, when the its price is still go down, event it was listed on the top exchanges. But my question is, their hard cap is quite small, just around 4 ~ 6m USD (on Binance), while we all know that listing fee is very expensive on that exchanges, can be up to millions of dollars, so how much money they have made?

Of course they are which is why we are seeing more addition to CMC, and also new trading tokens on top exchanges. But in this case, am referring to IEOs alone, the others have gone to oblivion. You are looking for facts, the easiest way is to check these top exchange telegram group, there you will get all information about their IEO, how successful they were and what went wrong if there is any. But in my own view, the hype around IEO is going down those high immediate profits are no longer achievable.

For ICO & STO it is completely dead because in recent months only projects from IEO have received large amounts of funds and it seems that in the future only IEO projects will fill the list, but if there is a new way of selling it might become a trend in 2020.

At this time it is not a trend of crowdfunding events like ICO anymore, investors have lost their confidence in projects with ICO crowdfunding events. actually many projects like ICO are good, but on average they fail because of lack of funds from investors. currently the replacement is IEO, and good news for investors who want to make money in the future. but the fate of a prize hunter, where the project spends more for promotion on the exchange, than holding a bounty promotion event.

It is a know fact that ICOs are struggling to raise money in the present market conditions and I think this would continue for some time, so many carbon copy projects out there, and I feel people just don;t want the usual, smart contract, Bitcoin, exchange, interoperability etc that dominate the space currently, there is need for fresh ideals to come up. Another thing is the ROI which is very low now.

Being a while I heard anything about other models like ICO and STO, but for sure we know that all Upcoming projects are using IEO while some are successful to a greater extent others aren't; so one can say IEO only is still generating funds. I think the reason why it looks like IEO aren't is, the hype is dieing off and might soon follow the fate of others.
now it is IEO, ICO or STO is now no longer used by most projects,
because it is an old system, and very risky, I think IEO is safer and easier to follow

IEO seem to be the only one with the upper hand now, as per the history of past IEO from binance and others the results are not bad but many still face some disappointment, they failed to meet softcap still

while i dont have the statistics to back this up, its my opinion IEOs ARE dying.  People are realizing they are no different then ICO's
People got burnt really bad blindly buying into IEOs, looks at poor VBK on trex : / https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/veriblock/
a near 100% loss from the IEO price, and its good tech!  it just goes to show an IEO is not a guarantee of profit (except for the devs, as usual Wink )

The funding clearly moved to IEO it's a clear pattern people are getting tired of dealing with someone they dont even know and letting their money in the hand of someone who might turns out as such irresponsible developer anymore. Every IEO will absolutely getting listed and that make people rest easy not worrying about if the project listed to an unknown exchanges instead. the ICO that could still hold up until now is probably the best out there because getting funding from ICO is becoming a lot harder and harder because people are more cautious.

I think the one that is still generating funds for the project is IEO.
There have been many successful IEO and managed to raise funds according to the target of the project, you can see IEO in Binance, Bitforex, Dcoin, Kucoin they produce and quite large so I think this is still worth investing.
IEO is very famous now.
There are also many IEO which are detrimental to investors,will be make the reputation of IEO fail in the future like IEO in Binance,Bitforex,etc.
When IEO dies in the future,a new program will be reappear to attract the attention of investors joining.

2017 was the year of ICO, investors n startups both earned heavily. 2018 was bearish while in 2019 ico got another name i.e. IEO. Likewise in start everyone rushed towards IEO in hope of fortune, let's see how they perform in next year.

IEO - Yes, there are a lot of successful IEO's this year alone. Obviously because of the backing of crypto exchanges, specially top-tier like Binance.

ICO - Seems to be on the downward spiral. Lots of projects are either pulling out because they even haven't reach the soft cap or simply pulling a exit scam.

STO - Maybe the same faith as ICO, investors are still shunning because of the current bear market.


The ICO and IEOs are still operational, although to a lesser extent. But I think STOs were not very suitable for this market. I guess we don't already have a successful application.

Besides the answer that @dcomomal, we need to analyze from 2017 until today what was the percentage of ICOs that were successful? It would be great to have this statistic, because with that we would know how much losses these "ICOs/IEOS/STOs" brought to people. And it would also be nice if we had statistics on how many people made profits and what profits they made from these "ICOs/IEOS/STOs". I particularly agree with @dcomomal said

I don't think that you need great proof to know if the ICO/IEO/STO market is thriving. Just check the announcement forum here within Bitcoin talk. Seems to be doing well from my point of view. As a matter of fact, just check the Altcoin Marketplace forum here on Bitcointalk, then go to the Bounties section, that should be all of the proof that you need in order to know whether or not these crowdfunding vehicles are dead or thriving.

in 2019 I still see a number of projects that rely on ICO but to be able to collect and for the development of the project it is better to use IEO in a better and more reliable exchange place because this year only collection using the IEO method can be successful and can be trusted more by many investors for cooperating with large exchange venues such as Binance exchange sites or others that have a good reputation.

Many projects organizing a crowdsale exercise are finding it very difficult to raise funds,  with many extending their crowdsale. In most cases, however, projects fail to reach soft cap. That is why the fee that can,  opt for private funding and go straight into development without holding an ICO/IEO/STO. An example of such a project would be Veil.

Changing the game
The ICO era is now over, the most popular for now is the IEO, many IEOs have succeeded, raising funds through IEO is felt to be more effective than ICO, because IEO is organized by exchangers, in general large exchagers have successfully organized IEO such as Bittrex and Binance, but Keep in mind that although many IEOs are successful, there are also many IEOs that have failed even though they are supported by large exchangers.

IEO is more popular nowadays since it's already shown its success for the past few IEOs, especially on a certain top Exchanges. But some IEOs were kinda a let down as well.
As for ICO, it's not that great either, some still managed to reached their soft cap and performed quite well in the market, but the others either they're already dead or on the brink of death.

90 percent of them are dead, I am not even speaking about ICOs and STOs that stopped delivering profit during 2018, but about IEOs. IEOs are profitable only on some exchanges like Binance, Huobi or Okex, but even those are now struggling to get over the token sale price.

In my opinion the golden age of the ICO is over, now it has evolved into an IEO that has advantages over ICO.
In the view of beginners like me, IEO was able to compete and was able to answer what investors had problems when ICO at that time.

Yes, the heyday of the ICO is over now. IEO, which has a lot of interest from investors, I also don't know yet whether IEO will be overwhelmed or like ICO going forward, let's just wait.
What is clear in the sale of IEO in large exchanges is always profitable for its investors.

It is not dead yet because they are still getting investment from the investor, the only difference is, they were not able to reach their initial softcap to develop the project. forcing them to shut down the project or extend the sale time hoping for more money.
one from many projects that failed to meet their softcap and shutting their project https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52684029
