I see this happening because many investors experience losses in investing in the ICO, this causes a decline in investment, then the biggest problem is the number of ICO scams that make investors afraid to spend their funds.
if the ico project is good even though the price is not good now, but in the future in the long term there will be a possibility that the price will also increase, provided that it is not a project scam. because in ico investments that I understand is for the long term not for short-term investments.

Yes, now most investors are not interested in the ICO project, because throughout 2018 there has been a significant decline in the level of public trust. https://cointelegraph.com/news/report-icos-raised-118-million-in-q1-2019-over-58-times-less-than-in-q1-2018/amp

The risks are so great and only a few ICO projects that end up succeeding are a major reason why many investors are starting to be interested in other things.

Retail investment has declined due to obvious reasons such as scams and ponzi schemes, over hyped products and services, lack of protection for investors, and regulatory uncertainty for startups, but this is beginning to change with the arrival of IEOs and STOs which should help improve the quality of what is on offer and it will be interesting to see if these newer crowd funding solutions become successful and help revive the crowd funding market place
I personally no longer believe in Iico because there are so many losses that we will get if indeed we make a lot of investment that is wrong because it is very detrimental to us so we must be able to get these benefits
This is because most if ICO investors never recover their money and now no more people invest in ICO because that just lose money if go and invest money in ICO, and maybe now people are more skeptical invest on crypto also because of price.
but indeed the fact that ico investment can provide huge profits to investors. unfortunately for now ico is too much bad. I once invested in the dent project, and I lost the moment when I first registered at the exchange. and I decided to hold it longer until it became useless as possible. but I was surprised after almost a year the price of the assets I had turned out to have a very remarkable increase.

This report is correct,as you know most of ICO's was scams and investors investment was lost in scam projects thats why investor not investing in new projects.
Everything in the world will change through progress, development and innovation. Its not sad to see ico decresse in percent because we got new way of invesrment. We have now IEO stands for initial exchange offering. So investor hasn't increase instead, investor choose to buy coins throuhh IEO which is much safer than ICO

Maybe the main cause of what happen in ICO investment is the security issue. With all the scam ICO that doesn't seem to be stopping making many investors hesitate to make an investment because they got worried if they got scammed.https://cointelegraph.com/news/report-icos-raised-118-million-in-q1-2019-over-58-times-less-than-in-q1-2018/amp

Now that we have exchanges who are directly conducting these projects after properly verifying the source of the project and also the credibility of the project, many of us investors will strictly see it as the only option to a genuine investment in the mean time because I cannot still vouch for the future of IEO yet as regards scammers, time will let us know.
now almost everyone is focusing on the IEO instead of the ICO, almost everyone buys the IEO successfully, they will often have a huge profit, ICO can be erased if it still maintains like that.
It's time to reveal the real use-case of blockchain projects.
And lots of projects prefer to IEO or private ICO recently so we can't see lots of public ICO.

I am not surprised about the decrease we are seeing in ICO investment because a lot of people are giving up on ICO and in time to come we are going to see even much more decrease.https://cointelegraph.com/news/report-icos-raised-118-million-in-q1-2019-over-58-times-less-than-in-q1-2018/amp

I too gave up on ICO on the 31st march, when a coin named eo I have been waiting for the past 1 year began to trade below ICO price, this is not fair and investors are tired of losing a lot of money having waited for years just for a coin to be listed on the exchange, investors are now moving from ICO investment to IEO investment.
I think there are no assurance when it comes to investment. What's unfair there? Is there a provision that ICO wouldnt lose? Only gain? I think you are quitting by disappointment alone not by ICO wouldnt stand a chance. There are still some ICO gaining, its just a matter of investing and choosing the right product.

It means the market has enough of coins. On the other hand, people are showing not much interests in ICOs. But I do not think people will not support a project launched for a good cause. Many ICOs with genuine and good causes have been raising more than enough funds from ICOs. So the rules of the market is that those without any purpose or goals and which cannot deliver will be wiped out ultimately. And only those with much to offer sustain.
It has some sense.. people dont like to risk their funds anymore.. why should i invest in an ICO? there have been not just scam exits, but also phishings and so on.. it is safer to conduct fund raising through an exchange, so IEO is for me the way to go nowadays..
Now i plan to put some money on @Beatzcoin.. the presale was sold out, and people is trying to buy in the black market (trading rooms), which i strongly discourage.. Caveas emptor!

Im not wondering why it happen and for me not just the market condition is the main reason, why ICO investment funding are decreasing Its because of the scams that wreaking havoc on ICO market, the trust and confidence from the potential investors has gone already and the damage has already huge to repair. unless it will be regulated by all governments around the world. https://cointelegraph.com/news/report-icos-raised-118-million-in-q1-2019-over-58-times-less-than-in-q1-2018/amp

I will be waiting for coingecko Q1 ico review to know the extent of the damage. It is more detailed and give a breakdown of the ICO/IEO/IAO in the past 3 months across all countries and form of investment. Investors really lost confidence in the process and last year's loss cause some investors to have few to invest this year. The focus is bitcoin
ICOs nowdays are just easy Millions of dollars money grab from newbies, as soon as ico owners put their hands on ico fund they will stop working and treating investors like a garbage.
I hope people will stop investing in ICO IEO etc..... and if you want to invest in ICO just wait until coin or token to get listed on exchange and buy it at 1/10 ico price
