In 2018 alone, ICO projects have raised , nearly doubling the amount raised in 2017, but  conducted by a small team at Boston College in Massachusetts showed that “only 44.2 percent of token projects are active into the fifth month or beyond, using their social footprint via Twitter as a barometer of health.” The ICO “death barometer” further showed the following: Breaking it down by category, 83% of the 694 ICOs that don’t report capital and don’t list on an exchange are inactive after 120 days.
