With so many ICO's lately that looks so good and very promising at the start but in the long run were actually just scam projects, we may really think that ICO's are surely heading to that direction. Surprisingly this maybe the reason why so many would be investors are having second thoughts on investing on ICO. But then again, i opt to believe that it is not. I'm still optimistic that there are still ICO's with good product with an extra talented hardworking team out there. It's just a matter of thorough searching and a little bit of luck.

Is there a demand out there for the coins/tokens that companies and startup are churning out every day?
Good question Most projects unfortunately don't research this important aspect. They care very little about the market size and demand.
I think the market is really saturated... couple with the fact that very few interesting things are being developed.
Investor are becoming more knowledgeable about ICO and are finding it hard to find quality projects to invest in.
I bet if something great comes up, it will get enough funding.
I don't think ICO is dead. It is just one way of distributing tokens. It is much like crowdfunding and that still goes on till this very day. I think people need to hold onto their money and stop with the greed.
People need to give a lot more thought into where they invest and then the ICO scam problem will start to fade. You cannot blame the method of distribution of human greed or scammers.

ICO industry is still alive, but it is not really profitable for investors, and it have actually many problems. It is not easy to convince people nowadays to invest or fund ICO projects, because it becomes very risky, and the project can fail for many reasons. Also, the altcoin market is still down and it affects badly the ICO industry.
People are ready to invest if good projects are there. The major issue facing the ICO market is not the lack of investors, but the lack of good projects. There are some good projects, but they are few and far in between. And in many cases, these projects fail to advertise themselves properly. There is some hesitation from the investors due to the previous bad experiences with the ICOs, but if there is a good project with unique idea, then the chances are that it will get enough attention in the market.
I think ICO is not dead yet, I can see some blockchain project nowadays are still launching ICO but in my opinion, there are only small investors are investing in that ICO project because they like the new offering of tokens, called IEO. Less risk to people who invested in it because it is launch in the exchange. So maybe in the future, ICO will no longer usable.

What is important here is that are we questioning the ICO system itself or are we questioning just the ICO offering method?
Because, there are IEO's going around all day everyday getting funded millions of dollars every day and those are still very much alive, however the ICO method of getting funded is dying every single day. Hence, I think we need to know if we are discussing about ICO or just Coin Offering in general.
Coin offering in general will not die any time soon, people will find ways to get funded and there is too much money to be made from it hence it will never die but if you ask me ICO system already died, it was above 1+ billion a month in funding combined and it went as low as under 100m, I am sure it will go down even more in the future as well.

The market for initial coin offerings (ICOs) looks like its basically dead, is it likely going to resurrect again? What we see is that market players are spending much of their time focused on finding new ways to deploy new supply of tokens, but not focusing much on long term drivers of demand. However, there are natural limits to the market's ability to absorb an endless supply of tokens, there is a limit to how quickly we can push supply into an increasingly saturated market.

There are still ICO ongoing and fewer coming up, it's not yet dead but it will soon, maybe next year totally all ICO will be ignored and there will be no ICO anymore, it happens because there are a lot of options to invest now, so the project should choose IEO as their crowdfunding platform because ICO is now useless.
ICO is not dead yet because i have seen project lately still doing an ICO, it's just that investors don't have trust on that anymore because most ICO projects last year many turned scam. IEO are trending this year, so it's best chance and guaranteed that project doing IEO on trusted exchange is definitely well trusted.

I think it's already dead, back 2017 and 2018 there's a new ICO almost daily, now it has become very rare we only see one ICO every month sometimes every two months.
One of the factors that contributed to its demise is the so many scams ICO hundreds of millions are lost because of fraud projects and investors cannot keep up anymore.
ICO project was good when many developer who already successful to launch their coin to the market and have gave a lot of profit for their investor exactly at 2017 ago, but now I doubt with it. Even, I have confidence that the developer who made the project will choose another place to launch their project although the way is same but in another way they look many chance that their project will be choose by many investor, as you may know there are many people who choose an IEO to launch their project. Yeah I think the ICO will be dead, I won't say that the developer who choose ICOs as their way are scam but the majority of investor will only look to the negative side in ICO.
ICO is mostly dead
ICO projects will still appear most of them will be worthless or scams
It is very hard for ICO project to find exchange for his tokens
Now we have new fashion what is exchanges ico but it is more or less the same story like ICO
Regulators are very negative for IEO

It doesn't mean that most of the ico became an instruments by the scammer, ICO will going to die of course not!
there are still good ico out there, we just need to become wise in choosing before we invest as an investor or join join
before we get in to the projects. Though, in every ico project there is always risk involved that's why it needs to be smart
as a bounty hunters or capitalist.
Agree, just because some ICO are scams, don't generalize that all ico is a scam. I do not deny that many ico become scams, but that does not mean the ICO business will die. this business will continue to survive and remain exist, even though many have become scams. if you are afraid to try this investment, then learn which ones are potential and have a future for growth. I believe that ICO investments are still profitable, all you have to do is be good at analysis. there are still good ico out there, we just need to become wise in choosing before we invest as an investor or join join

ICO will not prosper from its current status now, I'm afraid it will be declared as dead soon.
If people have no option to invest, they would be force to invest in ICO, but now we already have IEO that's a better option for investors to invest.
The way ICO is going now where there are more failure projects compared to successful projects, investors will find it not attractive and now that they are seeing Binance produces good IEO, they will find ways to invest with Binance as they can get good return in short term.

Probably you have not been paying attention to the market, that is why you are not seeing that the ICO market is still alive and active. Though the hype has really died down, developer are still coming up with new innovation often even though not all the innovations that we see are genuine, some are just doctored documents and they would not be able to execute the project when they eventually lay their hands on money.
Therefore, ICO market is not the problem, but investors that the Ico market really needs to boom is the major challenge right now, most investor are quite discourage because of the happenings surrounding the market in terms of fraud and they are being very careful. For ICO to really book again, there is need to win investor’s trust back again.

The ico market is not dead and by visit icorating.com and icobench.net you will find new projects launching the ico every day and so many of them still attract investment. It seems some people really want to keep putting money into some projects with long-term views in mind. I have stopped investing in ico and I only buy good projects when there are listed in exchange! Sometimes you get them 8 to 9 time less than the ico price. IEO may be replace ico in future and that is if the manipulation going on in some exchange is bring under control.

I think it's not dead, it's still a pretty good and convenient way to raise money today. But the undeniable fact is that projects are getting worse and worse, they are running out of ideas.
Bad projects are making the ICO market worse. and we need to wait for truly quality startups in the coming years.

with how the developers handle their projects today? I wouldn't be surprise if ICO market is dead. I miss the old days where the developers do their best
bring the best of their projects unlike today where they only care about profit and nothing more.
for now, it is so difficult to see projects like that, we certainly need to do in-depth research to avoid projects that prioritize benefits over the quality of the products they build.bring the best of their projects unlike today where they only care about profit and nothing more.
currently ICO still exists, and is still trying to develop. although not like before, because now there is IEO that has more advantages, but ICO still exists even though there are not so many projects that use this system.
I also hope that such a sales system will return to how it used to be.

It's difficult though to survive if you create a new business since about 50% will fail after five years (https://www.bls.gov/bdm/us_age_naics_00_table7.txt). The failure rate in this crypto space will be far higher because of (1) scam and (2) market risk.
About (2) market risk, investors still don't know if this blockchain technology will be widely used in the future, thus doubling down the bet if investors invest in ICOs. Most of the existing ERC tokens will die. Meanwhile, the new one will find it difficult to raise fund because of less capital available (most already sucked in 2017 bull run). I'm not saying dead per se, but substantially less activity.
