Currently   Lot of ICOs conducting Sales failed to reach hard cap. Some failed at Soft cap leading to reversing of Funds to investors. ICOs Like Civic , Codex , trivier, decibles,  etc. It was also observed that Most projects delayed token distribution and Exchange Listing. SHOULD I say they are scared of been dumped. Some have been conducting Sales for over 6-7 months. generating all sorts of names just to raise Money,Which shows a clear signs that HARDCAP and SOFTCAP was Not archived.

What could possible be the reason behind this Failures ??

One of the main reason of failure of ICO this year is because of timing. The timing was wrong because the market is declining and many investors cutloss to minimize the risk of losing. They don't buy new ICO because it will only cause trouble for them if the market is declining.

What do you expect when we have so many ICOs in the crypto space, there will be competition for sales. So the one that seem more appealing to the investors will be the one to sell more.
As regards Codex, the project is a good one with good usecase. The decided to halt the ICO themselves, even before time. They had made some good amount of money, but decided not to proceed with sales again.
At a point, some investors were persuading them to continue with the ICO and not return fund.

Now the situation in the cryptocurrency market is very bad. This is reflected in the fact that more than 80% of projects after going to exchanges lose the value of their tokens and can be bought for less money than during ICO. That is why investors stopped participating in many projects in ICO, which led to a small amount of money raised.

because there are thousands of ico. thousands of ico will be made. the market turned into an ico waste. the money in the market is divided into these ico. so everything is negatively affected by the price. everyone is losing. only large whales are gaining. icos are fed up.
Yes, most of the time, too many ICOs are growing in this market, it is unlikely they will succeed, no one is going to buy a lot of coins for sure, they only buy at a price. cheap, who sell, then sell, not sold

The main reason for the failure of the ICO projects at this time is a strong drop in the market this year. Because of this, even potentially successful projects, even those who have gathered hardcap, are in no hurry to bring their token to the market, fearing a strong decline in prices.
But the current market is not likely to rise further, I think that the waiting time for a fair price is not the same as in 2017 or early 2018. So I think that the current upside is These projects are quite ok for consumers

The reason why most ICOs don't raise enough money because they are unable to create a vision in peopl'e mind about how good their project can be once they develop it.
Another reason might be failed promotion. If the marketing is not done right who do you think will get to know about the project. This reason has affected many projects.
Transparency, good team, privacy are certain aspects of a project which the investors look whiloe investing into an ICO. Lack of them leads to a failure in ICO.

Because there are no buyers, no investors. Nobody wants to buy it. And now you have to think why nobody wants to buy it for ICO price. Because they didnt have any progress? In many cases thats why price is falling - no progress - no growth.

there are many factors that influence it, currently almost all ICO have been running for 6 months but have not yet listing in any exchange so their funds may still be floating so they cannot participated in the latest ICO
or maybe investors don't want to wait long so they prefer to buy it in exchange after the ICO ends

many monotonous projects are being created, the analogs of which have long and successfully already existed
It happens that the team overestimates its strength, or does not have enough knowledge and resources to implement
plus the market is unstable and investors are cautiously investing their money, and less often than they would have invested in a growing market

Many reason for that, but i think the major issue would be the investors becoming afraid due to there are more and more scam project occurring.
Another problem would be because a lot of project occurring makes the investors got split on investing into many different project.

Because many of them are preparing projects and making them available on the market in order to make money. Most of the infrastructure is not yet ready. There's not a lot of people behind them who understand this. these all cause these projects to finish before they start.

Yeah this is happening for last few months. Most of the icos can't reach their hardcap even most of them even reach softcap. In last Dec-Jan almost every icos is a success even some of them don't have a proper idea. But suddenly after market dumb investors don't like to invest in icos cause most of them didn't get profit when they hit market. And in these days number of ico is increased and most of them is failed of scammed. So general people also don't invest. But yes in this bear market some icos still dobtheir job and give some profit.

There are a lot of reasons why this kind of situation is even happening. The market situation has a big part in it with that there's way too many ICOs, ICOs that are blatant scams, founders of ICOs that know nothing on how to run an ICO, project products are useless in terms of real world use. Reasons why you should take the time to do proper research before investing in an ICO to be sure they have a solid strategy of what they want to do.

I think it's the bear market's fault, many developers believed that we were still in a bull run and began to create very ambitious projects for the way things are, so I think it's best to have short or long term goals and keep them firm to try to make the market affect you as little as possible.

In 2018 many projects come out and investors we investing and I believe very few did not meet softcap.  However,  many scam projects were introduced into the market and investors lose alot of money daily on this and this has affected investors sentiment.  If some icos will come up with good intentions then you should expect people to put money into them.

The main reason is probably an estimate of the previous six months. Market fell, powerful ethereum price reduction, because the ico projects sold they eth(a lot has been sold by EOS). Besides, this area continues to be unregulated, for this reason, many funds fear this investment method.

Probably just because currently market isn't in great state. I remember at Q4 of 2017 there were alot of succesful ICOs that managed to raise several times after ICO, but market was in alot better state then it currently is. Now seems like whole market is falling or even lately stagnating which definitely effects ICOs. So with better market state we would definitely see better ICOs sale ratings.

I think 80% of ICOs fail because they can't do what they want, including the fraudsters, because they don't plan to do anything from start to finish.
Almost today, the project ideas are of poor quality and they have set up the ICO to raise capital, with the aim of earning income from investors and scamming new investors. This leads to too many poor quality ICOs and failure in the crypto market.

As you know there are a lot of new ICOs surfacing everyday. Its hard to succeed because of the competition and the fear of being scammed.  And also many investors drop the coins after initial listing for a small amount of profit.

To my knowledge, I learned a lot about ICO last year and this year. If and in 2017 with a project no matter what you do about it, I'm sure it's easy to hit the soft-cap. Now, after investors understand the ICO more and more, they do not easily spend money on a project, they patience to learn and when they know it is not good, they will not invest in it.

I assume that the problem is not quite that. In 2017 there was no such amount of fraudulent ICOs.
Now there are some statistics that potential investors are probably viewing, and it is disappointing. So I'm for tight regulation in this field.

Because of the current market conditions, it is pretty hard to motivate all the investors to take part in ICOs. The main reason is the profit, and ICOs cannot guarantee this to their investors. Almost every project that is listed on exchanges directly losing its price.

It is not really problem with ICO sales right now, it is mainly because the market is at a stagnant way where people do not really do anything, even the volumes are insanely low compared to what it used to be which means there isn't that much money in the market to begin with hence putting up ICO and than expecting funds are silly at these days. If there is no volume and money in the market how could people get into ICO's to fund them ?

They can't which means starting a new coin these days is a futile attempt and anyone who really believes in their coin should start it either some other way or at least wait a bit before starting it out. If you wait until the next bull comes around and everything goes up than there will be much more volume and everyone who either missed out on the bull or at least gained a bit and want some more will fund your project to make even more money.

there are a lot of factors that make possible the failure of an ico project, one of which is as you explained, namely the team that works behind the project really only aims to raise money and then run away the money somewhere and not return it, it is usually called a scam projects, and other facts are the development teams working in the project have maximized their work and apparently the sales of tokens did not reach the desired target and they announced that the project FAILED was not a scam like the alphateca project which was completed a few months ago but the sales of tokens did not reach the target they wanted the development team and they announced that the project had failed and then they returned the investment money to investors who had invested in the project. and actually there are still possible causes of why there are so many ico who fail or even scam, but I also don't really understand the problem.

there is so much competition for Altcoin in this forum, making it difficult for each team to try to make their project successful in the ICO, it takes intelligence to promote their tokens so that investors are interested in buying, in addition they also need partners and sponsors to push the success of the project .

Because of the market condition, you can clearly tell that the ICO should really be that good to combat the current market condition, and some ICO have passed that condition, but some ICO projects cannot just be backed down because they have already planned this 5 to 10 months ago so they have no choice but to take the risk.

I believe that because there are so many project occurring and among them there are some scam project that makes the investors split their fund for those many project, and some of them are worried/scared if they were to face that scam project.

IMO it is all just because the number of scam project are very high, and every project that born nowadays are just same with the other.
And the other things are the market itself, Even the project that bring something new tech in this field could be falling too because of this condition. Nowadays the demand of ICO are not good when we compared to the last years.

There is a possibility could make it a shit coin in a future once it was distributed with no response to the market.

In my opinion the two most important reasons for this,
1. Investors gained more experience after the ICO boom, they are more careful with the ICO projects.
2. Bear market, the tokens of the project lose value in exchange, making investors unwilling to risk their capital.

Not really. I known some ICOs that are currently delaying the release of tokens due to the market situation and they're currently focusing in their product which is actually still a good thing.

Yes, you did a good observation as I have also been observing this ICOs inability to reach even reach their soft caps not to even talk about getting closer to their hard caps. This is largely because the previous ICO projects have not shown any investor that  ICO investment is a better option hence most of them are backing off ICO projects and the earlier the industry handles this in a more tactical manner the better.

In this bear market is very difficult to gain some money with a investment, especially for ICOs that are not as useful or do not have as much marketing as the ones that are coming out lately, the cryptos are down now, even though it is stabilizing a bit there is a lot of carefulness among investors, that's why many ICOs are failing.

Last year it was enough to add blockchain word to your company name and it will be successfull in fundraising. Now it is not possible due to whole market situation and investors are scared to put money in all projects releated with blockchain.
Yes, I agree with you. For now, I think investors see that Bitcoin prices are not yet fully stable. Investors will certainly not just put their funds in an ICO. Because for the current situation the price of bitcoin has risen and the expensive price will have two possibilities, the price will go down or the price will rise, so I think investors are waiting for the price on the market until the end of this year.

It happens due to the current market situation. People do not want invest in ICOs, because they are no longer profitable. Almost every project is dumping after the token listing and this is normal at this stage of our market. Just wait and it will change in the nearest future.

in my opinion that is the main factor why the ICO is now starting to look like a problem even though its sales are very good. generally investors also want short profits from participating in several ICOs, but unfortunately, it doesn't always end well

Hardcap is not needed thing, many people understand it, that`s why investors try no to overfeed bountied after reaching softcap.
soofcap is enough, that s additional motivation to work harder.

The ICO will fail if the idea behind it is useless, not original or the product has no proper use case.
In the bearish market it is more difficult to launch a new ICO as only the best ones can succeed.

     Most of the time, ICO projects are unsuccessful because the founders want to fool people, being just some scammers. But there are situations where founders and managers are well-intentioned, but they are inexperienced or the idea of ​​the project is insignificant or can not be developed. Investment costs are very high and investors are bending over these projects. With many SCAM projects, investors are no longer tempted to invest in ICO and choose more secure, more stable projects that have already known success. I do not see a brilliant future for ICO projects and I think they will disappear shortly.

Main reason is bear market condition. Because of that investor have less confidence about future market.As that most of them are waiting for market stabilization before investing.And also most of ICOs are extending there token sale I believe until market being stabilization.

the Market has been in this condition for Months. since 2nd quarter of the year. we have seen few projects that are thriving. even made it to the top 100 coins in the Market.
might not necessarily be the market condition. the rate at which ICOs are introduced recently is outrageous. projects that kick-started in 2018 was 3x what we experienced in the previous years.
Remember that the year kick off with the downfall of most Projects designed with  ponzi scheme. A huge amount of Money was lost to these Schemes. it really affect the crypto market this Year. which also is part of the reason ICOs are failing.

Currently   Lot of ICOs conducting Sales failed to reach hard cap. Some failed at Soft cap leading to reversing of Funds to investors. ICOs Like Civic , Codex , trivier, decibles,  etc. It was also observed that Most projects delayed token distribution and Exchange Listing. SHOULD I say they are scared of been dumped. Some have been conducting Sales for over 6-7 months. generating all sorts of names just to raise Money,Which shows a clear signs that HARDCAP and SOFTCAP was Not archived.

What could possible be the reason behind this Failures ??

Investors seems wiser now, gone are those days when investors don't bother to do extensive research before investing also market is bearish investors don't want to lose money they prefer to buy on exchange since most sell below ico price after exchange listing.

This is a normal situation during the downtrend. Ether and bitcoin fell in price, many have not fixed a profit in Fiat. Many simply don’t have the money to invest in ICO, even if they wish to.  Although if you look closely, many still collect hardcap for several hours .

The trends, they have not yet gotten enough hype to defend their price , the ico traders that invested in the pre-sale phase will dump their token directly if that was reached the ico price. These icos must learn about how to control the price of their token through stop give a lot of bonus to the pre-sale participants. The hype and trend have been giving a lot of impact too.

The simplest reason is that no one has invested in the ICO at the moment. Investing ICOs at the moment is like destroying their money. They will certainly lose money and so ICOs can not finish the sale as expected

Because crypto market is too quite.. no big investors are in.
People are just trading everyday with the stagnan market no investors wants to invest in ICO because cryptocurreny is not promising right now

everybody wants to make profits. Nobody wants to loose his/her money. After the crazy bull run of 2017  during the Ember period and what is happening now. some people are yet to recover what they invested.

it is terrible honestly what investors are passing through in the hands of project inventors. from juicy whitepapers to excessive bonus when you in invest. recently it was discovered that over 2 to 3 ICOs were designed by the same teams with different names. when asked, they said that they have loads of projects to work on. creating different ICOs. this leads to quick exit if the project fails to meet  target.
the current market situation is also another seriously issue why the ICOs are failing. people are scared of investing at this stage because of the poor market when they know that New Projects will always come out anytime.

it's because:
a) founders of ICOs are scammers
I think that this paragraph is the main reason that many teams do not collect the required amount. People have become accustomed to the fact that they are trying to deceive and to raise funds for themselves , not for the development of their project. After graduating from ICO, many of them just quit developing your project.

Investors have learned that many ICOs are fraud and scams so the sales plummet. This is one reason why there are only few people that are believing with ICOs.

The decrease in sales is very alarming for them that are keep on conducting ICOs. It's no longer profitable for them and its no longer usable for the people that are trying to plan for their project. Its not surprising that sales went low due to those incidents.

Well because most of ICO is only duplicate some project too... So lack of innovation makes investor bored too then they didn't reach the softcap. Second case is the team only need the money but they don't care about the project, they only spend money for advertising and make more people buy after that they disappeared. Third case is they do some development but in the middle they run out of money then they leaving the project...

What i really think why ICO's are failing is because of difficult competition among the others. There are lots of ICO ongoing right now and we don't have an idea which one is legit here are going to enter the trust issues from the investors. Few years ago actually until now there are lots of scammed ICO project in which gave some investors the thought of negativity towards the market. No one to blame but the online criminals.
