Half A Billion (BILLION) Dollars Raised In ICOs In September Only
According to Coindesk ICO tracker, in September 2017 there were more than $500 millions raised through ICOs, $516,87 to be precise. This is the second most productive month for ICOs, after June this year, which saw an all time $574,48 millions raised.
It's not clear how the tracking is made, but I would assume a large portion of the September numbers (more than half) came from Filecoin ICO, which set the all time record for an ICO with more than $257 millions raised between August and September.
It's worth to remember that these numbers are realized on a rather unfriendly regulatory framework, with China banning ICOs all together and US being more and more restrictive towards ICO.
And, pour la bonne bouche: the total number of money raised through ICOs all time: $2.2 billions.
BILLIONS.

Just wait till institutional money arrives next year I bet they get $5b
Crypto is the future .
Cryptocurrencies are unstoppable, and the banksters are shit scared of them! However, the problem is that politicians and banksters are in bed with each other, with banksters pushing governments to put a ban on cryptos.
Youtuber Ameer Rosic argues that most ICO can't deliver what they are promising on time and when people realize this it's going to have a negative impact on the market. To me it's seems like the gold rush and only a fraction of those people became rich
Good thing to hear :) Crypto's are slowly getting more and more attention.
hmmm, I really do not know if this is a good thing...
It does kind of prove that the chinese threat/ban did not really affect things much but on the other hand I already found before that among all the good projects there is a lot of crap. And I know that there is something as due diligence but a bit of regulation might not be the worst thing in the world
What chunk of this is RunCoin? :D
None. No ICO, no pre-mine, no funky business ;)
And that's why I like you. LOL
