1. Only six projects have raised $293M but the quality of projects has rounded at 4.0.
2. Blockstack ICO has raised 82% of overall funds raised during this week
3. The projects FRED Energy and Mindsync obtained the highest ratings of 4.9 and 4.7 respectively

Well this result is for those who belief in ICO rating websites, they aren't in my agenda because they are very misleading if care is not taken and moreover how are we going to know if its legit, like no payment received to rank up the ratings? the answer is no way to know

...but the quality of projects has rounded at 4.0.

What does this mean? That the quality of projects have decreased? And whose standard is it based? Is it coming from your platform alone?
I have also the same question but their metrics and statistics must be from 0-10. So overall the rating didn't even reached the half of it which is 10 in ratings.
It's obvious that many ICO doesn't have anything to show anymore and as for the IEO, there's plenty of them that are conducting it right now but same as ICO, only few of them will emerge.

That has always been the pattern ever since the ICO market became so crowded and full of scams and mediocre projects. And although IEO has made the market a little bit better, it still carried with it the dirt from the polluted ICO market. As expected, many are going to fail.

If their rating is 0-10 and the average is 4, that could mean that the quality of projects has decreased significantly or the projects under review of their site have stopped paying or buying higher ratings. At the end of the day, ratings do not necessarily reflect the quality of the projects. There have been highly rated projects that did not even hit their soft caps.
Right!
They have similarities with ICO and the abusers and scammers who create useless projects can still use the IEO to scam people. Making their project look like the best but it's more of a crap project.
Yes, the quality of projects has decreased. We will see by the end of the year on how many projects through IEO became successful unlike few years ago with ICO, many succeed.

ICOBench has been in operation for a long time and they do not need to be paid by the companies to give them a good rating, they are literally making money themselves by being legit and objective. Obviously, they are giving high grades to most of them because you have to see something bad about the project before you can give them a bad grade and most of these usually go bad after the ICO not beforehand so they look great during the funding process.

However, if you take just the funding parts and data into consideration instead of looking at the ratings than you will see a difference in how much funding they are getting and how much it used to get and compare the hype. Right now, it is not doing too well, its still not dead as people imagine it is but its dying for sure.

If we keep seeing this figures, some investors or new investors will just keep getting annoyed at the way these projects do raise fund and yet they still come up with a shit project that fails investors, for some projects to have raised this kind of huge amount, honestly they have no reason to fail because that money is not a play.

The money that one project do raise alone is more than enough to make 10 projects successful, and we have actually had many ICO raised more than this in the past and which is more than enough for them to establish a very good project that even when they dump the coin in the market, the product will still speak and make the value keep rising just like bitcoin is doing, they have dumped bitcoin several times, but yet it keeps rising.

Thats not impressive amount comparing before but still its a positive news for the ICO believers I though that ICO was totally replace by the IEO's but there is the data infront of us, i hope that these report is true! im still positive that ICO will recover its former status if all those fraudulent activities will address thoroughly. IMHO! ICO's total regulation is the key to make it happen.

If this is true not a fake news in crypto, this is good news to all still have trust in the ICO.
This showed only that there are more people here in this industry believed in the capability of the ICO
project. Because as you remembered during 2018 ICO was totally damaged by those scam project
under by ico, were the good image of it became ruin because of the scammer.

In any case, this weekly review indicates that ICO projects are still alive and continue to work, despite the current unfavorable market conditions for altcoins. I also noticed that although the number of new ICO projects has now become noticeably smaller, their quality has increased slightly. In general, the situation with ICO projects is not so hopeless. The number of new ICOs should increase when the market begins to grow again, and especially if altcoins begin to rise in price.
I was thinking the same thing.ICO are still alive.If the project deserves the trust of investors, then in General the investment climate of the entire crypto space still has a positive trend.The latest project in which I invested-Tokoin.They conducted IEO.But even if there was an ICO I would invest in it anyway.This is a very promising project.Incidentally raised 12 million $.The token is traded on KuCoin.

How on earth people still can raise millions is a wonder to me. I guess this is slowly still fuelling the market but at the same time as long as tokens get dumped, alts can never see past their current levels. Too much selling pressure I feel.

Blockstack seems to be doing well, but they were the first SEC sort of compliant one weren't they?

If you look at the ratings mentioned above then the scale is not between 0-10 but 0-5.

This rating is not an indicator that the project is good because there are no fixed indicators to detetermine whether the project is good or not all based solely on personal assessment.

Then it shows that there are still investors who believe in ICO, even though we don't know whether the funds actually collected from investor will indicates that the project success or not.

I think those are collected through ICO and IEO's but now the percentage of investments into ICO's has been reduced in the market and people are showing a lot of interest towards the IEO. Yes, still people are showing lots of interest towards investments because the crypto market still exploring.

ranking quality might not guarantee getting a lot of investors but the quality of rank or stars maybe and the score can make ICO or IEO good for future with very good projects
Rank or stars can't be considered as a factor to determine how good the ico or it can't give a guarantee. You must see that ranking quality or even quality of starts can be manipulated easily and i hope you will be aware about that. But honestly, in this case i don't know about what do you mean about the quality of stars. It makes me feel confusing to see that.
But what we know about the fact that icobench was being degraded to the crap news or ico ranking site.

ratings from ico ranking sites are biased to the point that it depends on how much they got from the project to publish a good review or high rating
I encountered a long time ago a user created a thread regarding the list of ico ranking sites with respective fees they are charging per project.
if I can find it again, will post the link here
but it doesn't prevent the fact that there are still individuals that are attracted to invest on these ico projects. But day by day we are seeing less of them

Mindsync seems never-ending ICO project and Fred Energy is not enough good looking ICO but yet you gave them a high rating. You have no time to research, you just put what project team shows. So, we know these raised amounts are fake totally. Even you counted the hilarious scam Neluns ICO amount 112M USD! Get well soon Icobench.

ICO reviews can also affect the decision of the investors, but this kind of money indicates that still many investors support ICO or IEO. Despite of the drop on the volume of investors, it can still affect the price of the market. Only good projects should be put on the list because still many scam ICO or even IEO are out in the market. I will support any ICO or IEO that for me has the future, its good to be sure than to say sorry later on.

This is good news showing the ICOs market hasn't faded as most people taught it has. But my concern is are there benchmark on which your website rate these projects? How can their project be described as real or fake?

I lost complete hope on ICO and IEO most of my investment gone more than  95% based on ROI . After seeing this thread i got curious about . Still its complete uncertainty investing on ICO or IEO . Most of the project raised fund only the intention of getting fund from crypto space then they horribly failed to deliver . Still its good effort for getting to know community  about recent good fund raised product.

Of course ICO can continue despite the decline of investors, however, with the new business model, we might see ICO project taking aside and let IEO takes over. So I'm not surprised by the report, just look at the current state of Altcoins market and you will see the everyone coin is in a decline. Perhaps there will be ICO boom but I'm not seeing it in the next year or so or until we see a massive bitcoin bull run.

2. Blockstack ICO has raised 82% of overall funds raised during this week

I am curious as to the total numbers of ICOs and IEOs. Because if a single ICO has made 82% of the overall funds, that would send the idea that the rest will have to be dividing the remaining 18%, which could be interpreted that the market is indeed full of mediocre projects.
