Initial Coin Offerings Have Quietly Raised Billions of Dollars in 2018

In 2017, a lot of people, myself included, wrote about the wildly unregulated industry surrounding Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), the cryptocurrency analog of IPOs. Cryptocurrency markets soared throughout 2017, into January of this year, but have since crashed spectacularly. Coverage has died down -- but have ICOs?

I wanted to look at ICOs in 2018, so I scraped the "Completed ICOs" section of Smith & Crown's website, a reputable curated list of ICOs. It's certainly not representative of the entire market, but it should provide a decent picture, especially of more "legitimate" projects. I'd like to look into how much ICOs have made in 2018, comparing it to previous years. I'd also like to look into what kinds of projects have launched/completed ICOs in 2018.

SOURCES: Smith + Crown. SORRY these are supposed to be the same scale; I will fix this!
