Top 5 ICO to invest in 2018 according to various publications
Even leading financial experts admit that it is too difficult to make forecasts for the ICO sector.
“Although certainty in any market is impossible, the ever-changing world of crypto creates unique challenges for forecasting,” Emma Channing, CEO and General Counsel of the Satis Group, told CoinDesk.
Indeed, in 2017 the exchange rate of bitcoin exceeded even the boldest predictions of analysts, while the ICO boom reached the level seemed fantastic a year ago. Therefore, one should hardly trust long-term forecasts for 2018. “Now we really are at the point of crystal ball gazing,” Emma Channing commented on her predictions for the Q3 and Q4 2018.
Nevertheless, Q1 2018 will definitely keep cryptocurrency and ICO trends existing now.
What will influence ICO in 2018?
The main event that all cryptocurrency industry participants are waiting in 2018 is regulation changes. The USA, Russia, Slovenia, Gibraltar and several other countries are already preparing legislation amendments. Besides, some regulators said that they were not going to impose severe restrictions but just wanted to legitimate ICO and protect potential investors.
The ICO concept is likely to change as well. US-based companies have already launching tokensales using the new SAFT scheme: it is a frictionless model of fund raising compatible with legal rules of the financial market and tax legislation of the USA.
Moreover, experts believe that the amount of ICOs will grow and show new fund raising records in 2018.

The previous year taught us not to trust all of ambitious projects. Well, the Tezos project raised the record for its time sum of $230 m during an ICO but failed to launch its own network. Thus, investors made a complaint against its organizers. So, you should always realize the high risk of investment in ICO, even if it refers to projects with an experienced team and a thoroughly elaborated white paper. Do not forget to diversify your investment portfolio and do not put in more money than you can afford to lose.
