If you look at the graph at the bottom it shows volume. There was no volume traded before August 1 so it is likely that the value was based on the issue price based on ETH from the ICO (and fluctuating based on ETH price) - not trading price.
You could be right, but looking at ethplorer there was definitely some volume activity prior to August 1st. (i tend to not trust any website on their volume stat accuracy for that matter).

ICOBench they have sold tokens worth of ~$37,000,000 (BQTX=1.0800 USD). Hopefully, it's not 98% sold for fiat in private sales? haha
I'm asking because in last years bear market most projects had trouble raising any kind of money. That $37mil somehow stands out...is it not?
Also coinall was trading as low as 0.04c already on 15/7/19 according to their statistics.(I think that was the first day listed)
