2. Approximately $4 billion was poured into hundreds of ICO projects during
2017. That number is only growing by the day. According to CoinDesk,
during 2018 Q1, ICO funding reached $6.3 billion, 118% of the total for 2017.
ICOs will likely continue to be a hot topic with some even predicting the
rise of a second-generation of ICOs. There’s another emerging trend to be
on the lookout for: reverse ICOs. Learn more about them here and how
Cloudbric is using the reverse ICO concept to deliver a powerful security
alternative to businesses and individuals.

3. ICOs are expensive. There’s a lot going behind the scenes that developers of
ICOs must do to make them stand out. From deploying the technology behind
the project, creating an online presence and opening various communication
channels, in addition to addressing the regulatory issues behind an ICO
project, it can get costly — upwards to $500,000 on the higher end.

3. Early investors on ICOs are making 50,000% in ROI
ICOs are increasing at an exponential rate and those who
are investing in promising ICOs early on are seeing huge
payouts following the private sales — as much as
50,000% in returns! It’s no wonder many are rushing to
invest, but not everyone is lucky since there are also
many instances in which ICOs turn out to be outright
scams.

5. In the business world, KYC, which stands for “know your customer,” is an
important process for verifying the identities of clients. For ICOs, they are part of
an important compliance process in tune with current ICO regulation trends. In a
study of 500 ICOs, 2% were pending invitation, 86% passed, and 12% failed.

6. Some countries may choose to partially regulate the ICO market while others
may make it easier for businesses to develop an ICO from scratch. Countries
that are known their economic and political stability tend to cater to ICOs well
like Switzerland and Singapore, which have high GDP per capita and stable
governments. In Switzerland, the government has even taken steps to promote
the development of a blockchain ecosystem.

7. Many ICO projects are underlined by the blockchain
technology so that tokens may be developed, but most are
not pure cryptocurrency (i.e Bitcoin). This is why many
have turned to the Ethereum platform since developers
can design and issue their own cryptocurrency. With its
Smart Contract feature, Ethereum will likely continue to
dominate the blockchain platform market in ICOs as
investors place more importance on speed and security.

Governments tend to not be fans of cryptocurrency or
ICOs as it could undermine the existing societal and
financial structures currently in place. At the writing
of this blog, countries that have outwardly banned
ICOs are China and South Korea. In Bolivia,
Bangladesh, Ecuador and Kyrgyzstan, any form of
digital money is banned, making the development of
ICOs virtually impossible.

9. Professional services firm Ernst & Young analyzed 372 ICOs and discovered
that close to $400 million of the funds raised ($3.7 billion) had been stolen.
Their research suggests cybercriminals are stealing approximately $1.5
million per month in ICO proceeds. Hackers have various hacking
techniques, but phishing appears to be the most popular method used to
tap into the payouts associated with ICOs.

ICOS HAS BEEN HIJACKED BY HACKERS

10. While there are number of factors that determine the success of an ICO, looking
at the total amount of funds raised for the project is a good place to start. For
government ICOs that number was just $258,645. However, governments are only
just now entering the cryptocurrency market in 2018, so this number may rise.

9. GOVERNANCE WAS THE LEAST SUCCESSFUL INDUSTRY IN 2017
FOR ICOS

11. Not all ICOs have what it takes to succeed. In a survey conducted by Bitcoin.com,
a predominant cryptocurrency news website, 46% of the 902 ICOs they studied
have failed completely. While some turned out to be scams, others simply failed
to capture the interest of investors due to low-quality projects or lack of
promotion.
