The concern for these projects is likely being thought that most of them are scam projects. That is the reason very few investors are looking towards it. And if a project succeeds in its sale, the next struggle is coming and that is when it will be listed.
The complain of investors and hunters at the same is what making them rush to list it as soon as possible. And the result, they are putting it to unknown exchange so just to say that they have complied to the demand of those complainants.
Topic: Death of ICOs - page 10. (Read 1776 times)
Correct. ICO is losing popularity nowadays. We rarely saw ICOs that can provide fundraising successfully. Most ICOs failed to get funds and the rest failed to keep their token's value on the market. Finally, those conditions lead all ICOs to become dead projects.
By the way, I think some vital factors are :
1. Lack of investors
2. IEO becomes popular
3. No changes on ICO's condition
4. Most investors probably focus on Bitcoin for upcoming BTC halving

ICO terminations in 2019 were unimaginably inadequate contrasted with 2018 August and October both had none, while January 2018 had 160 projects. All things considered, 2019 projects raised additionally funding on average $6.8 million contrasted with 2018 $132,000, still ICOs are losing popularity because of
1. Concerns with funded projects
2. Regulatory hurdles with selling the tokens
3. Crypto bear market

I think at the end of the day what matters most for ICOs to successfully raise funding is still the sentiment of the market. If the sentiment of the market is bullish then I would have no doubts that these ICOs will likely do much better than they are doing in this current climate of bearishness.
But overall, markets have structurally changed where it no longer favours these new projects, but rather wants to focus on existing coins that are much more established.
Perhaps this colud be attributed to institutional investors who are seeking safer investments, or perhaps it's just a sign of a mature market.
It's wait movement and looking next market conditions for everyone new project i think we in new year 2020 even though lot of difference almost two years ICO days very bad. Actually more investors already forget ICO time and they want always looking a great project with IEO performance.

Did you ever looked any upcoming ICO's?
According to icorating there are over 1100 ICO : https://icorating.com/ico/upcoming/
According to icomarks there are over 1000 ICO: https://icomarks.com/icos?status=upcoming&whitelist=&kyc=&bounty=&mvp=&email_confirmed=
There are more than 1000 upcoming ICOs. Don't you think they didn't realize the ICOs were dead? It doesn't matter whether ICO or IEO, the good project will always collect money. ICO amount is getting less recently because bear market affect is getting increase. If any bull season come again we will see a lot of ICO's also.

These three points had reduced the popularity of ICOs and the interest of investors in it but as in the past many of them were successful and because of ICOs many people are now millionaire so I do not think that it will be its death but a hibernation period which I think also better for the crypto market as it will eliminate the fraud attempts and when the market will be all green again then many good companies may start their ICOs. 1.

Of course, now the time for ICOs projects is not the best, especially after a huge amount of fraud in this market. But still, I think that they will continue to exist and sometimes even raise enough funds. But when there is another bubble in the market, the amount of scam will increase dramatically.
I don't believe that ICOs are already dead, not because most of ICO these days are irrelevant or already existing but I mostly think of them as idealizing what else they can bring to the market so more of like a pause in market. I think ICO are still a thing especially in funding projects because it is working in all aspect of offerring , it is just that not time to go with scam projects simultaneously now.
The only reason why ICO is starting to die because there are really a lot of projects here that are scam that after the project was finished the team members will start to not reply in any of our personal messages, that is why ICO became does not reach their soft and hard cap due because most investors lose their trust. There are also issues about their KYC policies that it should not be implemented because it could lead to identity theft.
The last ICO project that I encountered was the Ferrum project, but until the end of 2019, I did not see any successful new ICO listed on coinmarketcap.
this year maybe we will not see ICO, because IEO is already gaining popularity in 2019 and there will be new projects but I'm not sure if IEO will continue, because there is already IEO fraud in 2019

Although there is many people who just depend on hype which mean they come to the some places which can be trusted will give them a huge profit but when they felt to the scammer they will learn more about the system correctly. Because they have known that is the worst thing to do and eventually they will never fall to the scammer for the second times.
This is what happened on ICOs markets. I know, not all ICOs project are scam and have a good prospect for the future. But, human attitude is not like that. They will judge if there is a place which is rated as a scam/fake then many people will assume that all ICOs project are scam and everybody must avoid them. Moreover, there is a new way to take a part with this kind place i.e IEO which more safely and can guarantee the money will be save.

The recent bear market is the first reason for mentioned consequences, other cases are not as important as the poor market situation. Scam projects have drained the juice of interest by fake teams, I doubt the dead ICOs will retrace back to the old position, IMHO.
I hope people will learn the past experiences about of these ICOs and never to repeat it today. ICO era has been a drastic scam events in the past that took almost all the trust of these future investors. Now IEO should not be like the ICO era in order to make the crypto market clean from the scammers.

Most projects nowadays are really not successful especially ICO projects, that is why a lot of investors started to quit in investing their money cryptocurrencies because they are wasting a lot of money and time, and they didn't get any rewards to it. It is the reason why IEO projects does not have any potential to grow more further because we are lacking of investors today. 1. Concerns with funded projects

Let what's gone be gone, ICO is no more and it's not coming back again, many new developers have moved to IEO because they are way better, even investors don't trust ICOs anymore because they are mostly scammer
indeed there are a lot of losses that occur when fundraising uses the ICO method and for now I think many are no longer interested in ICO, they are more interested in the IEO method which according to investors can be safer.
this IEO is also going to disappear soon. investors avoided it because of the KYC from the small exchanges that partnered with the scam team doing IEO. the death of IEO is also inevitable. there is just no safe way for fundraising a project without the risk of scam. its possible to big exchanges, it may not look scam but the unpleasant experience due to liquidity is terrible.

Many investors want their ICO investment to finally enter the famous exchange. while many projects are not sufficiently capable or have other plans. Over time many investors are no longer interested and then have a negative impact on the next ICO wave. finally all the potential ico and ico scams are in the same room and are swept away by a deteriorating reputation.
many reasons do make people not invest in ICO anymore. and I think the biggest reason is because of fraud and also failed projects that make investors leave ICO and market conditions make people prefer to invest in coins that have better potential than having to bet on new altcoin.
That is the scamer until now there are still projects like that, actually investors just want to avoid the scamer which continues to happen until now especially with projects that do not have a good concept then that will be left by investors in the beginning too.
Investors will also think twice if investing in ICOs because of the huge risk and also losing money will continue if not allowed.
How is it possible that you have forgotten both magic words? Oh I know you must be wondering what I'm talking about, right? Here are the two magic words that make people stop investing money in these ICOs:
1 - FAKE TEAM
2 - Plagiarized Whitepaper
You can look at the number of scam cases: Scam Accusations
Majority of the projects were scams and even if the white paper is not plagiarized it is very difficult to think that the project will be successful as you cannot pick two ICO projects which were profitable and i avoid them like a plague, i used to invest in the past because of the trend because it was a new market and when i came to know about the truth i just sold everything and moved to the coins i can trust. 1 - FAKE TEAM
2 - Plagiarized Whitepaper

The death of initial offering is caused by many reason and for me the main reason is SCAM.
Investor got tired of being scammed ober and over again it isn't profitable like it once was.
Now a days initial offering couldn't even reach their own price when they hit the market so how could the investor gain profit from the project?
There are already tons of alt-coins out there and most of them are dying.
