There are many reasons for ICOs to collapse in 2019. But I think the regulatory barrier to token sales is the biggest problem that causes ICOs to die. unsold, limited deals and lots of other reasons are also quite important.
The real reason is discussed in this thread already, it is not because of the regulatory barrier, if you check the market you will see projects coming out every month but the issue is always the huge amount of scams we saw in the past few years and it is hard to trust any project and majority of the projects that collected millions did not fulfill anything and with that in mind who will be trusting any ICO project.There are many reasons for ICOs to collapse in 2019.

One of the main factors discouraging ICOs lately is the crypto market crash. The market is depressing since its historic achievements in 2017. There are also regulatory hurdles as well. And most importantly, investors are losing their interest in altcoins. Only bitcoin is managing to attract investors so far.
I'm sorry but it is not the main reason why a number of ICO/IEO had fall. It is all because of a project's capability and the team behind as well( FAKE TEAMS) that it makes sense why investors will never risk to them instead of keeping their money away from these fake projects. That is how the trust is broken and it seems too hard to get back. ICO market is totally dead but not because of all these reasons, it's dead because ICO was full of scammers, unprofessional and bad guys! They took money from investors by promising lots of techs, later they go away with people's money. They never cared to protect the coin price to support the investor community. That's why every ICO investors count only loss, profit? Not at all from 2018 to 2019! So, I don't see any possibilities in the ICO market anymore.
Yes it is true that the number of scammers is a reason that makes ICO ultimately unprofitable because people who are not responsible and only give a promise then run away with the money they get from investors and then have an impact on other new projects that are starting to get difficult investors or difficult to reach their softcaps to develop new projects but this is all the impact of the scammers who then make investors hesitate to invest in these new projects and many choose to invest into the top coins.With huge capital, ICOs have existed for a long time and done many things. But in 2019 with the strong drop in cryptocurrencies, the ICO was greatly affected and it is dying.
I have not seen ICOs doing anything in this market in the past. They get huge amounts of money from investors but they don't develop the project the right way, and until the end the projects become scam and die. That's why so far no investors are interested in ICOs because they already know what the end of those projects will look like.succesful on the begining is better than failed from start to finish , atleast we know that they try thier best to become succesful and thier efforts paid off but if they failed at the middle or on the end then there might be a reason behind that failure . better if we dont judge them too early if we dont know what they been facing behind their business . maybe they have problems on thier real life that they have to prioritize than thier business . we should take them for granted ,
Let's wait, maybe after market conditions improve there will be potential for real projects to do such as crowdfunding events. For now the average project fails, because investors prefer those on the market today. Sometimes in addition to fake teams or plagiarism in whitepapers, scammers are now very clever to steal investors' money. One way to identify scam projects is that there are no recent innovations but only imitations, and there are no real activities, such as meetings.
I also think ICOs are now in not good condition because of the market we have now, so I guess we should wait until the bullish market before we make our conclusion. Mostly of ICOs are undeniably broken into pieces and because of scammers and fake team, ICOs are getting closer to its end. The fact that investors are now having doubt to place investment in some projects. With huge capital, ICOs have existed for a long time and done many things. But in 2019 with the strong drop in cryptocurrencies, the ICO was greatly affected and it is dying.

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

lets say not death but it can be a pause because of the bear market. i believe that when bear market is over, new strong projects are going to be launched again. And again new investors will fight to participate to the crowdsales.
ICO investment has indeed been a profitable place for investors, I think they are dead because investors no longer invest in it. they have changed investment methods, disappointment has made investors rethink for ICOs and certainly bad experiences have made investors no longer seen by investors
i dont agree. it is correct that investors do not invest in nowadays. but it is just because of the bear market. if they knew they will make profit why wouldn't they invest in? for example launchpad of binance works very well. people are trying to rush to participate. when market turns to bull, icos may again be a trend.

A lot of ICO's in the market are not profitable because there are just way too many altcoins in the market dividing the investors without the demand of the investors in the token their will be no value in the token,1. Concerns with funded projects
2. Regulatory hurdles with selling the tokens
3. Crypto bear market
that could lead to the token made becoming a dead token in the market and for years it could stay like that, a lot of ICO's investors was already done with this investment since most of the time there is no profit made so ICO's already have a bad image from the investors resulting to a Death of ICO's.

Many times I didn't want to believe the situation, but it's now making a clearer confirmation. The devs of each failed projects wasn't able to handle crucial situations, that's why it ended so worst particularly last year. We don't know what maybe the outcome this year of 2020, let's wait for more updates.

The most disappointing part of the ICOs are the highly rated projects that failed. They were over-hyped, over priced and over funded. Now they struggle to deliver the project idea, and defend the price, some never got listed in years after funding claiming the bad market as excuse. Pump with quick gain looks to be the main factors for the massive adoption of ICOs and crypto but tide might change even with the coming bitcoin rally
yes if we look at some projects in 2018 with a successful ICO we also don't see their coins listed on the exchange or having a good price on the exchange. surprised because some projects claimed to get full funding and then they seemed like there was no update from the project they developed.
ICO are dead since 2018. So hard to invent something new. Too many projects on the market
