Explaining the reasons for the growing popularity of venture capital investment among startups, Diar analysts note that 70% of tokens ICO today cost less than in sales. Moreover, the majority of tokens, reaching a peak, then fell in price by more than 90%.
Another reason for the popularity of the ICO, according to the researchers, is that the project not only experience problems with regulators, but they often can not offer investors sufficient incentives, because they do not have in front of them contractual obligations for the products.
According to the report, the amount collected through ICO funds, as well as the number of successfully certified by tomenselo currently approaching the annual minimum.
