Taking that for what they say its worth, here is a quick breakdown of how the ICO markets have done despite seeing an overall marketcap of $800 billion dollars in January 2018 vanish to below $300 billion and now hovering around $320 billion at the end of May 2018.
ICO Funds Raised in 2018
Total raised: $5,026,852,239

Here is a breakdown of the month by month so far this year:
- January = $1,471,912,152
- February = $1,273,274,690
- March = $1,051,114,113
