In addition to that, there is also KYC which investors avoid because they want to keep their anonymity. They aren't just waiting for things to settle, they are still making their moves to earn more profit while waiting. Some of them don't want to sacrifice their anonymity for the sake of profit. That being said, those who want to be anonymous(and others who want to profit despite this mess) invested onto existing altcoins with potential instead of putting their money into upcoming ICO's that are currently being scrutinized by the government.
