Last month, we reported that the world’s largest ICO was imploding after just three months as its developers admitted they wouldn’t be able to deliver the tokens purchased during a $230 million July “presale” by the end of the year, as they had promised, causing an understandable furor among its investors.
Now, in the latest sign that the $3 billion ICO market is imploding, Bloomberg report’s that the value of formerly high flying Bancor, the world’s fifth-largest ICO by funds raised, has plunged by more than 50% since the company’s June ICO as investors have become disillusioned with its obscure product.
Bancor attracted big name venture capitalists like Tim Draper this year when it published a white paper proposing to create a kind of decentralized digital currency exchange that would allow holders of the Bancor tokens to exchange them for other digital currencies listed on their market-making platform – a functionality, its creators insisted, that would one day render digital currency exchanges obsolete.
But while it’s founders delivered a compelling pitch, beneath the surface was a product that was, at best, needless complex, and at worst, downright nonsensical.
