All combined managed to raise more than <strong>USD<\/strong> <strong>2 billion<\/strong>. This already makes 2017 the most successful year for ICOs. For comparison in 2016 ICOs managed to raise just under <strong>USD<\/strong> <strong>100 million <\/strong>. You would think $2 billion is a lot of money? Here is an interesting fact - In 2016 <strong>IPOs<\/strong> worldwide managed to raise <strong>USD<\/strong> <strong>132.5 billion<\/strong>! Last years highest ICO was WAVES which managed to gather around $16 million.
