If we look at the 2018 year statistics different sources agree in one industry that I want to pay particular attention to. Be aware that we don’t talk about number of projects, we talk about the amount of money raised.
So, the communications and network industry is the best to raise money now. Is it really so? Be carefull and dont forget to clean data! The thing is, that 80% of money raised in this industry were made by Telegram pre-ICO. Therefore we go straight to ‘finance’ and ‘trading’ categories. Let’s look more closely at two biggest ICOs in finance in 2018.
Bankera!
More than $150,000,000 raised.
All-in-one: an exchange, a wallet, a debit card and payment options. We’re waiting for a promised launch of the exchange platform in Q2 2018. The significant thing about the BNK coin is that trading in pair with it on Bankera exchange will be free of any commission. Is it a good utility for a token? Yes, I suppose. The price on the ICO was 0.017 euro. If you missed their ICO you can buy it now on spectrocoin
Olympus Labs!
More than $60,000,000 raised.
The coin has already been pumped and is being traded on OKEx, Bibox and Kyber network just x0.25% from ICO price. The Olympus APP for Android is live already. Olympus is a real ecosystem compatible with any other financial 3rd party products (lending, futures, options etc.). The system consists of a core smart contract which interacts between users and smart contracts developed by product creators, there is also a price oracle, exchange smart contract and user friendly APP/3rd party client which provides users with financial product and interact with the core smart contract to give users access to full functionality.
More projects
These two ICO not only raised more money than others, but they are quickly developing in accordance with their road-map and the investors had already taken some profit in spite of bearish market. But such thing is really rare. Most of the projects (we’re talking about finance industry now) are not so quick in development, and the investors wait a lot more to get any profit. Just look at these numbers:
| PROJECT NAME | RAISED | ROI |
|---|---|---|
| CORION platform! | $2,000,000 | - 87.65% |
| Atbcoin! | $15,980,000 | - 76.20% |
| Micromoney! | $10,500,000 | -74.57% |
| Surety! | $2,630,000 | - 84.90% |
Here we just pay your attention to the fact that you should be extremely careful when putting your money in ICO. We don’t give any financial recommendations, also we think that these articles you can find in the Internet, like ‘how to choose an ICO’, ‘what are the attribute of a profitable ICO’…all this stuff doesn’t work so simple.
You MUST investigate, learn, talk to the team and community members, you should understand the product, marketing and dozens of other things to make the right decision. Here we’ll give you some advises where to look for information and how to understand it. However, you should always do your own research. Good luck and more profit for you guys.
