I don't think such a list exists .
But why would you care , you don't know where satoshi is from right.

but we now know the reputation of satoshi and what his achievements are with bitcoin. On the contrary, icos are now being fraudulent, painting there white paper with all the promises and still disappoint investors.

Mining is real. Your Satoshi will be stored where you start. If you want, you can keep using your own wallet. It is actually said that you need your own general intelligence.

And for what purpose is the author interested in the geographical location of the ICO? What difference does it make to you? In which case, fraud, some money, you still will not return.

My interest stems from being a lawyer. The choice of jurisdiction affects what regulations are applicable and the consequences for violating those regulations.

Hi!

I'm trying to find statistics on geographic locations of ICOs (i.e. if a legal entity is used for ICO, where was it incorporated). Does anyone know of such source? All I could find was just a top 10 ICO compilation or references to individual cases.

Thanks!

Judging by the existing ICOs, most of them come from Asian countries, but not China now. I meet online much information about projects, which developers come from Russia and Ukraine. However, most of ICOs teams are international.

Just to clarify. This survey targets where people choose to incorporate for the purposes of issuing tokens. For example, Russian is huge in terms of ICO presence, but there are no ICOs that actually incorporated in Russia. There is a number of legal reasons for that.

You can find some statistics about ICOs by country on ICO Watch List:
https://icowatchlist.com/statistics/geo

Country, % of projects, total Raised + an interactive map.

Thought it can help.

This is a quite interesting research, even though quite difficult, since some teams are cosmopolitan. I guess Russian could be one of the first groups doing ICOs.

Well, I don't know about the quantity for sure, but more than 50% of all ICO investments go to the projects from Europe.

I think USA, Russia and China are the most active ICO countries. It's my opinion based on my observance.

Here is that little survey that I been working on. 50 ICOs (from top 100 coins by market capitalization)that actually mentioned what jurisdictions they are using.

does it really matter? if project is good it should not matter..

I completely agree. Location isn't something you should worry about. It's an ICO project itself, especially its long-term financial and development perspectives that matter.
But remember that due diligence is the first-of-all thing to do.

sometimes its matter to know the origin of the ico. cause it might lead to something you didnt expect such as regulation that might come out of nowhere. so we might need all information from the ico so we can be more sure that the ico we support/invest would be a great one and will be profitable.

I see lots of Russian names in ICOs, too, but I am not sure if the company's base is in Russia. Actually I am just reading their whitepaper and party member's old jobs. Maybe I am doing wrong but I don't care their places or names.

Japan had invest to ICO too. See many thread focus on Japan and Russia local.

My interest is mainly tied to regulations. You can do a good or a bad ICO/project in any jurisdiction. But it would be frustrating to do a good ICO and get shot down by a local regulator a month later because of a violation of local securities or AML regulations.

Excellent commentary sir. I'd dare to say that part of the ICO's success relies on this aspect.

There are some ICO's where we can get to understand their potential according to their location, like a real estate ICO will yield differently in different continents, or like Paragon which is using Marijuana, legal aspects come into the ratio. It may not be an important thing to every ICO but it is needed in many.

Presale is live!

It is really hard to catch place information for icos. I saw cayman islands in one small project which was honest. But not all for lot others. I suppose there are dozens of icos coming from Russia.
