Should you invest in IOStoken?

As stated earlier, this is a very new cryptocurrency and it has not gone through the normal full market motions. Between 24^th and 25^th of January, the price surged to reach a high of $0.136. But immediately after, some sort of market correction happened and the price started to fall. As of 26^th, the price continued on a bearish mode. Bitcoin and other leading cryptos started the year on a low and the prices have not yet gone up to where they used to be in December. It is too early to tell whether this crypto will rise or fall any further. There is no historical data to gauge the performance of the coin with and this makes it a little bit risky to invest in. However, if one was to just look at the concept which the altcoin is based on, then there is every likelihood the price will stabilize and start rising again soon.
