​​BACK TO THE ROOTS

It is a common situation in crypto when the token goes below the IEO/ICO/IDO price. But not every token returns to IEO/ICO/IDO price and shows further growth.

We found 15 tokens that went below IEO/ICO/IDO price during the last 3 months but bounced back, bringing investors decent returns.

Methodology: We used CryptoRank to sort out projects by returns and chose those that went below the IEO/ICO/IDO price at least once during the past three months but now trade above it. All projects are sorted by the ROI from the lowest price observed during the three months.

The TOP 5 are Arcblock, Nervos Network, Ordiswap, Numbers Protocol, and Ispolink.
