Only one third of ICOs were successful to reach the soft cap and that is very sad. This trend of lacking
investors continued and even much worse in 2019. What we can also notice is that Asian countries
led by Singapore have great impact on Crypto.

I do not believe the statistics for 2018. 2018 was a complete failure for the ICO.
I did not expect such a rapid decline in the ICO market. But, in view of the huge number of fraudulent projects, we have the situation that we have.

Yes 2018 looked kinda dead for ICO's . But if you take a look at coinmarketcap added tokens marketcap in 2018 . It have quite alot of tokens with 10+M USD . Not sure where they come from , but its true . If we look at IEO now compared to ICO's then IEO is the way to go for new projects

Data shows ICO craze over two years in 2017 and 2018. The number of ICOs has increased by multiple times in 2018 as compared to 2017. It indicates popularity of cryptocurrency. But data lacks activities of ICO in towards the end of 2018 and in 2019. Reports say that the number of ICOs are decreasing as compared to the beginning of the year of 2018. So the conclusion is that ICOs are decreasing in numbers and so will happen in the coming years.
It seems to me that we should objectively evaluate all available information. The opposite course of the market of ico companies does not indicate the fall of this type of activity, but primarily about the fears of many developers for their projects. The investment climate is very bad and therefore, if there are good ideas, the developers expect better times.

I never thought that if the ICO increase so rapidly, only one year from 900+ ICO to 2800+, I think maybe because sophisticated blockchain technology is an attraction for companies and become the best business place for investors, but sometimes there are many crimes by making fake ICO and take investor money
I thought near every ico failed on 2018. But i was wrong.
Yes more than %50 of ico's failed but still more than 1000 raised enough money, very shocking result for me.
In 2018 there were still many successful ICOs, but they soon became a scammer because they were not listed in any exchange or their prices were dumped many times after being listed. And it made 2019 the year of failure for ICOYes more than %50 of ico's failed but still more than 1000 raised enough money, very shocking result for me.

The fact is that ico companies could really raise a lot of money, but the problem is that not all of these companies really have real prospects for the future. Because of this, we can assume that some of these funds will disappear unambiguously. Yes more than %50 of ico's failed but still more than 1000 raised enough money, very shocking result for me.

But how many of the projects listed their tokens and coins on exchanges? Which definitely will be under 10% so most of the ICOs who got success on their sale didn't even make their project to next level that is why this year new projects are struggling to get investors.

It is necessary to add that we are now recalling the year 2018, as the year of opportunities that we had, but we simply did not use them. Today this is probably one of the most terrible events that I really, really don't like. But do not despair everything will turn out later.
In 2018 ICO's raised more than 11 billion dollars?!?
Is this real? I mean every ico i saw failed. Which ones raised that much amount? Really shocking.
It seems it is wrong, 2017 is the most successful year for ICO and it can raise $ 11 billion. 2018 was a year of failure for ICO and 90% of ICO failed Is this real? I mean every ico i saw failed. Which ones raised that much amount? Really shocking.
Wow, if this is true, then this is actually a good analysis, I personally was thinking that no one believes in ICOs anymore since many of the ICOs launched in 2017 where either created to scam people of their hard earned money or their coin becomes shit coin when it hits the exchange that you begin to regret why you ever made purchase of that token. Through the crypto ecosystem is large and new people come in daily so am not surprised.

The above figure proof that there is an increase in the amount of fund invested in 2017 compare to 2018 during the bear market, it confirm that there is still live in the CRYPTO community, The bear market trend, does not have a negative impact on the numbers of ICO and the amount invested.
In 2018 ICO's raised more than 11 billion dollars?!?

Well, this means each ICO collected in 2018 three times less than in 2017 in average. If we count in people's awareness increasing in 2018 that figures seem to be quite disappointing for ICO creators
How reliable these number are ? Even forum members who are all actively hunting various bounty rewards also cannot summarize all these things accurately hence I am not believing into these statistics completely but approximately these numbers might demonstrate the actual scenarios of what is currently going on in crypto space in the name of ICOs.
Are those scam ICO's also part of that breakdown?
Damn, that large amount really hit the groin.
I didnt think they have already took that amount of money from all the investors in crypto currencies.
Is there also a number of how much bitcoin or ethereum used to buy this new tokens from ICOs? Just asking, I hope there is one.

In 2017, total 413 ICOs were able to raise required amount of funds totalling $10,062,399,721. That means the average funding received by each successful ICO is,
$10,062,399,721 / 413 = $24,364,164
If I do the same calculation for 2018 numbers. The average funding received by each ICO is,
$11,596,382,015 / 1012 = $11,458,876
It's less than half compared to the numbers of 2017. It clearly shows that ICOs have failed to capture the interest of crypto investors big time.
Even though these ICOs have successfully received required funding, but if you look at their current price, we will see 95% of them doesn't have any value at this moment. This ICO mania needs to be stopped for the greater good of the crypto market. Investments are getting divided and the market is becoming overburdened with loads of shitcoins that practically have no usage in real world. Sad reality of today's crypto market!

2018 was really unfortunate year for me in some way.
Invested in ICO but haven't got my money back. A lesson learned from all of us.
So many crap coins created and they generated huge money out of it.
I'm with those poor souls that lost their hard-earned money because of these scammers.
I was not expecting Singapore to be at the top.
Another strong case to those who keeps on saying that "ICOs are dead". A significant drop of those who were able to raised enough funds from 2017 to 2018, thanks to the bear market.

This country is one of the most used locations by many ICOs because of the loose regulations towards crypto.
So a lot of these projects really don't have physical address in SG but rather virtual address.
They are not really Singaporeans. I doubt if those projects are really legit. Most of them might have exited already.
