Bitcoin Forum

Hello Everyone,

There's so many users on this forum who take ICO investment as a earning source and honestly its never been so easy to make handsome profits from every ICO projects. As we all know that recently ICO scam has been a common issue where in every week scam accusation section getting crowded with these ICO scam related thread.   

Investment safety is the most important thing for a investor. Everyone will be glad to know worldwide crypto exchanges have started IEO system for upcoming crypto projects where I think its a safer investment way for a crypto investor. Recently some famous exchanges are running this Initial Exchange Offering and they are;

1. Binance (https://www.binance.com) 
2. Bittrex (https://www.bittrex.com) 
3. kucoin (https://www.kucoin.com) 

As a crypto investor I personally believe that this system is pretty much safer than ICO. Basically investors had to think about a lot of things before putting their fund on a ICO project such as research whitepaper, project Accuracy, team members and many more. In case if a project can't be able to be listed on exchanges then its another big problem for the investor. But this new IEO system has made this easier for investors IMO. Where recent Binance launchpad Projects gain 10x price from the starting price.


I am not encouraging you guys to make IEO investment but just trying to show a safer way where there is lower chance to be scammed.

In general, IEOs might be a little bit safer than ICOs.

---

Especially IEOs come from well-known, reliable exchanges, like those one you listed in the OP.
In contrast, for IEOs come from un-known, young, new-born, small volume exchanges, they are more risky and it is difficult to judge that invest into such IEOs is safer than invest into ICOs.
Exchanges can make scam exits, can get hacked and go into dead/ bankcrupted, so it is obviously risky too.

Additionally, it is hard to say IEO invesment is safer, because even exchanges don't got hack, or scam exit, investors can get losses too.
Buying at highs, selling at lows, and eventually get losses as ICO's invesments.

On a contrary, those exchange sites are reputable so they somehow filter what projects they'll launch though we can assume that this project can offer more pay just to be launch on those sites. We can in fact use these sites as a guide but don't depend your decision on it either be in hype. We're on the space of uncertainty so choose and think logically.

Just another hype that will soon turn to a scamming mechanism used to defraud investors. For starters, IEO isn't that new. if you have been in the crypto-ecosystem for quite some time you'll notice some exchange carrying out ICOs on their platform especially mercatox exchange. It's just getting hype right now because binance bought into the idea. If IEO achieve half of the success ICO did achieve exchanges will just go in for the money and list shitcoins without concerning the safety of their investor. It happened to ico rating site, cryptocurrency influencer etc so I'm sure IEO won't be any different. It's safer now but will it be tommorow?

Actually, i wouldn't prefer IEO as there are already many exchanges floating around here and are in a very worst condition you cannot expect that they will be easily successful.

Joining IEO remove's the risk of holding a bag of worthless tokens compare to traditional ICO.

With IEO all investors are secure that they can freely liquidate their bought coin after the IEO sale. While in traditional ICO it carries a heavy risk that the token/coin might not be listed on a exchange.

It is only right for those three exchanges' IEO, but might turn out to be wrong with IEOs from small, less well-known or unknown exchanges.
As I raised my opinion above, it is only right for big exchanges.
Investors will get nothing back if they invest into IEOs from small exchanges, that eventually make scam exits.

I totally agree with OP's idea that IEO is safer than ICO. To IEO investors, they are exonerated from the fear that their tokens will not be listed on any exchanges. To project development team, they have the money to continue the project. And to exchanges, they obviously get a part of fund raised from IEOs. This way, all parties are benefited from IEO.

True that, its still about due diligence in the end.

Those who get scammed at least once would be more or less aware of what's going on next time.

Many people say that STO will be the trend of 2019 but I remembered saying somewhere that IEO (but STO) is 2019's real trend. But in comparison with ICO, IEO is much harder to buy due to imbalance between supply and demand. That's not to mention the shady interference from exchanges during and after the IEO (restrict the buyers or pump token's price to create hype).

However, for lucky people who can buy token during the IEO, they'll get a fortune. Consider the latest IEO - Top Network (https://www.hbg.com/en-us/exchange/?s=top_usdt) as an example. Its price at the time of writing is USD 0.0125, which is 7 times higher than IEO price of USD 0.00177. Clearly IEO is on the footsteps of ICO on its early days and deems safer than ICO at the moment.

Aside from exchanges mentioned in OP, I can name some other trustworthy exchanges also offer IEO platform:

• Houbi Global (https://www.hbg.com/en-us/exchange/)
• OKEx (https://www.okex.com/)
• Idax (https://www.idax.pro/)

Website for upcoming IEO: https://coincodex.com/ieo-list/

P.S: IEO is just a way of investment and investment always goes along with risk.

i disagree, in fact i say IEOs are even less safe than ICOs because exchanges are involved. they don't care about legitimacy of the projects they advertise, they may only do it at first but eventually they will end up promoting only those that pay them the most. and before you know it you will start seeing only big scams being promoted in these exchanges that can cause so much damage to the whole market.

I agree with OP IEO is safer as compared to ICOs, IEO is not the new concept this method has been used in the past successfully. The IEO fund raising model is again in the demand because of two recent succesful IEO BitTorrent & Fetch.AI launched by Binance & we are seeing competition among the exchanges like OKEX, Kucoin, Huobiprime, Binance, Bittrex.

To conduct an IEO, the project team must meet and comply with the exchange’s requirements in order to launch the token sale. Contributors are, therefore, protected by the exchange. Although some may argue that the exchange may go along with the project team to scam customers, this will put the exchange’s reputation at risk. Exchanges that look for a sustainable business model would not consider taking such an unethical move. Instead, the exchange is risking their credibility when doing IEOs, since it has no control over the IEO project team’s operation and product delivery as promised in the latter’s white paper. To maintain trust with its customers, the exchange must carry out a comprehensive assessment of the project before launching the IEO. This provides an extra layer of protection to contributors.

Compared to ICOs, the risk of IEOs is much lower for both the project team and contributors.

On the customer’s side, not only will the exchange help them review the projects and filter out scams, but it also provides better liquidity for trading afterward as a large user base is already guaranteed. The exchange will also offer a convenient platform for contributors to manage their funds as all assets can be stored in the exchange account instead of different wallet addresses.

For project teams, they are eased of operational hassles. For example, all the exchange users have been vetted by the exchange’s KYC/AML verification. The exchange will also provide liquidity with its user base, and also help on marketing promotions.

With all the scams and frauds out there, an IEO is no doubt a better model for the contributors/customers. Despite more processes required for both project teams and contributors for the token sale, the extra protection offered is worth the cost.

Binance launchpad has a strict due diligence on the project they accept on their platform. it is 100% safer compare to random ICO that is born everyday.

But one thing is true, ICO will become a cartel and centralized to Binance launchpad.

Although I do not like IEO, I still have to recognize IEO as safer than ICO in terms of fraud and poor quality. Of course, here I only mention IEO of reputable large exchange platforms like Binance. But why do I think IEO will be difficult to maintain for a long time and it has disadvantages compared to ICO:

1. Lost the decentralized nature like ICO
ICO is created to allow everyone from small to large investors to participate, everyone can contribute, as long as you are valid with the rules set out. But the IEO is different, in order to be able to buy token from the IEO, you must follow a lot of principles from them and not everyone can buy it.

Example: According to the latest rules from Binance, to be able to join their IEO you must have BNB in the account, limit 20 days to the lottery draw date. The more BNB balances, the greater the opportunity to buy IEO tokens.
                                                                         https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*gFVQQ60sw8d3KfMosJi0VQ.png

This suggests that everyone who wants to participate in Binance's IEO will be dependent on BNB. And the rule above, it seems that their IEO is only for big investors.

2. Inflation and dependence
What do you think when everyone wants to join Binance's IEO? They are forced to buy BNB and make its price inflated. Since then, the most benefited people from IEO are not investors but Binance, they have succeeded in pushing BNB prices. But IEO is like ICO, it does not guarantee 100% profit, it still causes losses like ICO, of course that Binance will not be responsible. From that point of view, the IEO is a game where the exchange platforms will be the most benefited people, investors will still suffer certain risks.

So I think the IEO will not be sustained for long or the IEO will have to improve more so as not to be too dependent on the exchange platform.

I am not yet sure about Bittrex but I have experience on Binance they manipulate themselves. General member are unable to buy Launchpad. What I expect big whales or Binance themselves accumulate most of token. We can see within few days what is going on. Expect Bittrex will not cheat their users. However I am wondering to try on Bittrex if they distribute fairly. And obviously I am not going to invest any ICO anymore. If found legitimate IEO perhaps I would like to invest small amount just for experience.

Let go to very beginning, shun ICO, STO and IEO. Just launch  your coin just like Bitcoin and focus on development. If something is of real value then it definitely get the monetary value. It also raise the confidence that developer is not there for just gathering the quick money.

I agree with Binance accumulating most of the token itself. There a very few people who were successful buying CELER last time and we don't have info regarding all buyers. The another common thing was people going with full cap were only who got a place during last Binance's IEO. The model of IEO can't be compared to ICO as there is no decentralization at first. Second, 200-300 USD investment is no possible according IEOs held by Binance.

Safe? What if an investor with 500 USD was in queue for clearing his participation and after 20 minutes, he gets to know he failed? He will surely loose his total investment(BNB) gathered for IEO as there will be dump after conclusion of IEO which we've seen for CELER as well.

We know every day coming many new investor or users in the crypto world. And most of the users don't have a good knowledge of crypto. So there is a chance to be cheated by a scammer mostly in ICO investment.
I think IEO is a good decision for new investors even all investors. But we must remember that we need to trust those IEO which is arranged by the trusted and popular exchange.

Like as you said, investors need to research the project in ICO but why not in IEO? An investors must have to read the whitepaper and understand the whole project. All of the Binance launchpad IEO gave good returns don't mean IEO will be a good investment option. It will also be hugely misused like as ICO was. Investors still require to study the project because you must not depend on Binance, who run after pure profit only.

wow, another info worth reading for. As a bounty hunter itself, I am not keen on every good projecta but knowing this forum with a lot users with input regarding on bounties and etc. Life in bounty hunting may become easy. At least we have them here and the best thing is to not just focus on one section. I have been posting for a while im different sections and definitely it is a help especially in learning new things. However, i am just not doing some.replies in some technical section thus giving me hard time to understand the postings and the terminologies.

I can understand why you think that IEOs are safer than ICOs (for reputable exchanges only), since to be listed on Binance for example you have to pass some sort of verification test.
But from an investment standpoint, I think that's where it ends. The only advantage is that you have somebody else that did the work for you already (some due diligence), which you should do for any investment - no matter if it's an IEO or ICO - anyway (make sure that the team is legit etc.).
Another advantage might be the hype that they are experiencing currently - which leads to the big pump&dumps that have already been mentioned in previous posts. But that is nothing I would think of as positive actually.

Do they selective to choose a project? And how they decide the project is scam or legit? these things are very important to know. Recently, I haven't know how IEO work as a whole, I just know this system will be running by exchange itself. In advantage side I agree IEO will be more calculated by some investors because they don't need a long time to see the token in the exchange different with ICO that need maybe a long time to see the token will be listed in some exchange.

Don't forget about IEO from Huobi Prime, their first list project 'Top Network's is very successful, the sale was over only a couple of seconds on each round, and the ROI right now are massive! Almost x20 from first round price. And yeah IEO is far better than ICO in my opinion.

From what I have learnt until now, IEO is another form of ICO where IEO is vouched by an exchange. Generally, ICO is a good way of scamming chunk amount of money. IEO until now is better than ICO but in the long run, it will be the same for scammers. There are a lot of exchanges which don't have much volume. By issuing an IEO, the platform can raise X times more amount than their monthly volume. In that case, it will be easy to scam people. At the end, IEO still doesn't comply with the secured way of investment. At the beginning, it probably will have success and no risk will be there but at the end, door is still opened for scammers.

For investing on ICO investor always fear about projects team legality but IMO for IEO atleast investor can feel relax about investigating about team. On the other hand ICO success stage start from the listing momentum where its not only hard to be listed but also time is a big fact there. Investor need to spend a lot of time to see the token/coin on best exchanges for a good price build up. But for IEO they are able to see that on exchange within a short time.

Recently ICO scam is a common issue on our forum where every single day these scammers finding new way to steal investors fund. I hope IEO will show them a better crypto investment option at least.

IEO is safer because you know what you're investing in. You can lose money if the token gets dumped or ends like bittrex with not much attention from community but at least you know you won't get scammed.

If you like to gamble ICOs are still a better choice because they get pumped a lot at random. If you get lucky your coin will go up by 100% in 1 hour but like I said it's gambling.

actuality IEO a new trick from exchanges  ;D They want Height own tokens
you can't Participation if you don't have there token

The number participants few + there is no transparency ..
that what I think

Well it is somehow good because of these exchange partners with the project but mind you that it is not the barometer how the project will be brought. It is still depend on the development and its focus on how to create huge demand for the utility of the crypto.

Anyway, I just also think about it since a good partnership may going to boos the project like this good excahnges. No wonder that many will going to like on EIO compared to ICO.

Curious to see how exchanges will do their background checks on the developers itself and the project as a whole. I don't want to see only some kind of promotion page for this offered tokens but the full background of the token itself because probably what they will be doing is they will just promote the token and its project which could also be a bad thing for us. It would be no different to some people hyping up an ICO to pump the prices as they might likely have a portion of the offered tokens themselves ready to sell. They might not do it on their first few IEOs but if they got the trust of the people behind them things could go on a different direction.

IEO is safer but how to buy ? I have tried on Binance and Bittrex but I wasn't able to buy even I open my browser before 15 minutes. Bittrex had not enable buy options even timer was 00.00.00, so how we will buy. Once opened buy options then already sold out. WTF, who bought this tokens if users not able to buy? To be honest exchanges start new business really. They will hold all coin and sell on high price. Eventually innocent people's will lose their fund.

Buying IEO is a tricky puzzle. Obviously, there's intervention of exchanges on this to cause hype. Talking about Bittrex, they did this so beautifully. VeriBlock tokens sold out in a couple seconds (I couldn't buy either). A lot of my friends were able to buy, though, using some kind of tool or script. But Bittrex can't make VeriBlock's price fly high.

Totally right but are you too naive saying this? Financial games are for 5% of population only. As long as crypto currency exists, ICO/IEO or some other forms of them exist. At least for now, IEO is a better choice than ICO.

For some of us that has really lose money in investing into icos market I can really tell you that it is far safer to invest IEO than during ico.  Most projects that I invested in 2018 has not been listed in any populars exchange like binance and kucoin but in those exchange that has little volumes and popurality! It is far better for us to invest into a projects that is already listed in those big exchange as the risk of been scam is quite reduce to bearable minimal.  Many projects that has gone through that are doing well than those one that has attracted huge funds during icos.

You mean IEO?

This one looks good and attractive but I also think this can be harmful. This may make some investors dependent on the judgement of these exhanges launching IEOs. Regardless of whether it's an ICO or an IEO, people should not abandon doing their own research before investing.

I fully agree with the author, only he mentioned 3 platforms, which are definitely great, but there are many more of them and some platforms make interesting proposals for IEO. I like Lukki Exchange (https://lukki.io). In my opinion, this is the eligible Exchange for an IEO listing. Just a few days ago I read that it offers strong security, KYS strength, and importantly, excellent marketing support. Due to this, the coin immediately becomes liquid. And I think that IEO has a great future. ;)

One of the success factors of IEO is the exchange promoting it. This is because, the exchange will give users or investors the assurance that there won't be any scam. Also, IEO looks better than ICO because when a major exchange promotes it, there will be a good profit thereafter.
In the same way, unlike ICO which finishs sales and keep investors waiting to list on exchange which might still end up not being a good exchange; IEOs on the other hand assures investors of listing once sales finishes.

Yes, that's true. The recent activities in IEOs has shown that most if not all investors have migrated from ICO to IEO and are glad they did. Also, the success of these IEOs solely depends on the exchange reason why most people don't try all the time to get a slot in Binance IEO.
On the other hand, funds security is also an added advantage when it comes to IEOs as there is little or room for scamming. Listing after saleis also guaranteed. In conclusion, from my own understanding, IEO offers a better investment option then ICOs.

no it won't.
in fact IEO will soon become the least safe investment because the tokens will already be listed on exchanges and ready to be dumped. so as soon as the "doors" open, the surge of sells will crash that token's price so much faster than it could crash an ICO price and there is no difference between the underlying projects running an I"C"O with those running an I"E"O apart from that middle letter :D

It looks good and fun, but it can be dangerous. This had lead some investors to rely on reviews particular on news and social media shares. In the case of ICO or IEO, people should not neglect research before they decide investing.

Took part in one IEO on Bittrex.  Invested in tokens and now my investments, minus 5x.  I came to the conclusion that it is better to buy on the stock exchange after IEO, during trading and then you can buy tokens much lower.  And later get income.  So not all IEOs are profitable, the main thing is to choose the right strategy.

Everything depends on the project. Indeed, currently the IEO is becoming a new trend in investing but not all IEOs provide long-term benefits. For the short term, the IEO on a large exchanger is good and profitable because usually the price immediately rises after the first listing but to hold for long term, i think its not a good strategy

I should mark the word of large exchange and the fact that IEO that runs on the small exchange is not different compared with any ICO that runs on its own site or platform. I can say the only best thing that we can take as the best consideration to determine how good the IEO based on the exchange site. major exchange has more demand and this will give guarantee about the price of any IEO to be doubled.

With the IEO capital mobilization on the exchanges will be the best guarantee for investors.  Projects have called for capital by pre-sale, Private sale has the form of distributing tokens for a longer time.  This helps maintain value stability for transactions after the IEO.  IEO projects are more thoroughly tested so that more fraud will be avoided.  In the future I am not sure if the IEO will be good or not but now I find them great.

It is only true when you join the IEO on large exchanges. I have seen many small exchanges implementing IEO. As a result, the price has been reduced by 50-100 times the same as ICO in 2018.

That is the reason also why some bounty hunters now prefer joining bounties with Initial Exchange Offering as they feel it is more secure and less becoming a scam.

We should perceive what will be the aftereffects of this sooner rather than later as usage will wrap up of it. We should be progressively cautious on this issue, and believing it to be sheltered don't pass judgement on excessively snappy. In dealing those large exchanges huge trades enormous benefit is without a doubt and not guarantees.

I totally agree with your opinion. IEO model ensures financial safety for investors compared to previous ICO model. Projects sold IEO on the reputed exchanges are to be high quality projects because the project has been evaluated very carefully by the exchanges owner. Especially many people have earned a lot of money when investing in projects on Binance exchange.

Perhaps that is true because if one project can enter into the market, it means the developer and the team need to clarify who they are, what is the projects and else. Besides that, the exchanges need to make sure that only a legit project that will get their list so they can get the profit too besides of the investor. Once the project can pass the verification from the exchanges IEO teams, the projects will have much of investor who can make the profit, and of course, the exchange will also make the profit.

Definitely. I can't even find information about those projects. A virtual project and not too much information for investors to find out. It is best to stay away from IEO projects of small exchanges

I think if the IEO investment is good enough for the current choice, why is that ?? because currently the trend of IEO is no longer ICO. I also look at a number of IEOs today, such as invech which has collected IEOs of more than $ 14 million and will even continue to grow.

you're right. any investment is a risk, but any investment in cryptocurrency is a double risk and an investment in a new project is a triple risk) not everyone understands this

Its not only bounty hunters who patronizing the IEO but the first one who made the project more interesting is the investors who poured big capital. The support of the project becoming successful and profitable. This year i notice more IEO project are being propose in a bounty for  safe, secure and profited.

it is still not safe because some IEOs have been caught scam but that happened to the launchpad which is still new and better in my opinion if you want to join in this you have to think of a good launchpad for binary they do offer fast profit it's just a problem for the long term it's not will succeed, for other launchpad there might be someone who works

IEO is more safer option than ICO especially IEO projects from well popular exchanges like huobi okex or binance but mind you,not all IEOs will do 4x like many expected,some projects will take time before they surge in value

IEO is better than ICO. I am sure you all understand this. But the IEO is not always successful. I observed that the IEO projects on the platforms Binance, houbi, kucoin really attractive and competition made me unable to buy IEO on these platforms for me. For some small and medium exchanges, IEO is not good, it can last for months and no one cares. Although IEO is successful, the value compared to IEO divides from 2 to 50 initial values. Consider the IEO

yes, the IEO is very good for us to become a place for new investment after too many ICO Scams. But we also cannot turn a blind eye, we also need to be careful in choosing IEO, especially in new exchanges, we need to do this to avoid the bad things that have happened at Idax.

IEO is an evolution of ICO idea. It's much more safe and convenient - that's for sure. But now people see how all this works much more clearly, and that makes crypto manipulators' job much easier to understand :)

If I goingto choose,  definitely people choices including me is the IEO is more safe and promising investment for your money.
ICO trust in people has no longer compared before who people really like ICO but now they hate it because of a lot of scammer create ICO.

Btw 2nd bittrex IEO is not really good. They can't secure the price after the coin release on market. The price drop lower than the price on IEO. Even the first bittrex IEO not pumping.
So as investor i don't mind about ICO or IEO as long they can give me profit. And about the safer . i would do check on ICO first before join for sure.

Indeed, the IEO is an advanced update and its safety level is definitely higher than the ICO but an investment game is always created for profit purposes, too safe and perfect is impossible, what this game can bring is just that we will lose little or much loss in this game, profitability is a possible thing but from the dependence on the level of agility, it has turned to depend on luck. But I feel this is quite interesting, at least, we will not lose all the money we invest, and if we are lucky, profit is enough to satisfy us.

The topic is not about the price but the safety of investment, between ieo and ieo the safest to invest in is ieo for sure because of the security nature, in terms of price, that is totaly different because the exchange can't do much to push price up except of-course you want the price to be manipulated by the exchange.

I personally liked more IEO's than ICO's because they are more safer, they offer more security because there is no fraudulent acts. I have joined several IEO's especially in KuCoin. I loved it!!  ;D

I wonder what crowdfunding will be like if IEO did not come to us, maybe investors will just invest on coins that are already in the market, and there will be fewer new coins that will be coming since people will not invest in ICO anymore seeing how these projects are scamming investors with IEO it makes investing more interesting and profitable.

The investor has been known it especially for those investors who have felt how the profit they got from the ICO project in 2017.

Even I have read some experiences from the investor IEO who got 300x profit when he choose IEO project on Binance launchpad.

I think it is rational when an investor gets a huge profit, with the first factor they consider the IEO can be the safest way to invest and the second factor they choose a project that can be directly on the exchange when the project has managed to raise funds.

I have a high confident that IEO project can last long and be used by many investors to choose a new project as an investment place. Of course they will only choose reputable exchange when start to take part with an IEO project, that method is the safest way.

if it is a security problem, it is very doubtful because the projet IEO is not prone to scams, especially those that are held in well-known exchanges such as (binance, ethfinex) so if you want to try launchpad like that.

IEO is better when it comes to safety. But for how long? Projects will eventually see an opening in this new system and will eventually start scamming people. There is no shortage of scammers in this world, but I sincerely hope that IEO becomes a much safer platform for investors and stays that way too.

That is true; in terms of security both in the case of the investor and funds, IEOs is a better option. Also, with exchanges making sure the team is verified it will also reduce the chance of scamming. In the same way, the type of exchange matters too this is because major exchanges will always ensure the promote good IEOs so as to retain their integrity while attracting more users.

It's old news that IEO is better off than ICO in many aspects. IEO gives more confidence to investors since the exchange hosting the IEO must have done  proper checks on the team before the IEO.  Also investors have rest of mind since listing on exchange is sure. So there is a clear difference between IEO and ICO.  

Your confidence is different if you are investing in a reputable exchange like Binance as compared to new exchanges. So it still depends on the exchange where you are investing your money. Though it is difficult to participate in BNB but I believe it is worth it when you get in. It is still considered a high risk investment though so you should be aware of possible consequences that might happen afterwards.

If indeed the listing from the IEO is in the third exchange top (Binance, Bittrex, and Kucoin), then we are no longer worried about various possible scams and shitcoins. Why? Because at this time, the three exchanges are very reliable, the cost for listing there is also quite expensive. The process of selecting coins to enter the listing is also more stringent. So that the possibility of a scam or coins that are not valuable is very small. However, it does not mean that the listing on other exchanges means bad. We only need to be more careful in looking at and analyzing exchange for the IEO.

Well I don't really think IEO is at the point we can say it is a safer investment option comparing to ICO. IEO is just an upgrade of ICO and there is just a little different between them. In as much that IEO presents some kind of transparency where investors can actually see the progress of the crowdfunding, this doesn't guarantee that the project will be successful and whether investors can  make profit out of their investment. 

It caused by that IEO has already aimed a big hardcap that means more money will be robbed by the developers rather than to be used to increase the price of coin. A little room to growth that makes the token has no demand after it being listed on bittrex. Hardcap is really important. majority of IEOs run on small exchange site is not profitable.

Well, in my opinion IEO is not 100% safe but I can't deny that this thing is much more trend and popular compare to ICO.
It is because in the mindset of everyone whether investors or bounty hunters it is safer than STO and ICO. Probably, it is 100% safe if their IEO will under by the program of the 3 exchange you mentioned in the above.

IEO investment is a good alternative to investing in ICO, while running smoothly and without constraints. I fully support the existence of the IEO like invech that has gone through the IEO phase 1. there are many who have joined this IEO invech. one of them is me.

If it is true that the IEO is like what has happened, there is no harm in making a gradual transition and seeing the development of the ICO, can the ICO still be trusted and no longer many do scam?

IEO is better and safer IMO than ICO. Hope, the good reputation of IEO project will continue and will grow. As long as scammers will not gonna ruined it's reputation and as long as exchanges will be strict on the requirements before listing the coin. Though we can't still deny the fact that fund raising can not be prevented but the security is better in IEO than ICO.

this has become a common thing for now. however, trust depends on the team. in fact, when they use the IEO system, when their team cannot be trusted, the project will be damaged. in addition, team skills must also be professional in each of their fields.

wow, but is it true that later the IEO won't disappoint investors like ICO first?
because what we call a digital market cannot ensure the truth.
ICO used to be dimmed due to fraud or scam from team members who escaped project funds. maybe that will be very remembered by investors and maybe now they are starting to be careful to provide support by providing funding to each project.

our orientation must be on the project, don't look at the ICO or IEO. because what happens now is a good project, it will still get support from investors. investors are now getting smarter in choosing mature projects.

I also prefer initial exchange offering, one of the reasons being that listing is never an issue unlike the initial coin offering where investors would have to hold their tokens until an exchange is secured.

My two main reason why I like IEO better
1)No time wasting like ICO that can take months before reaching softcap or  hardcap,IEO is time fixed not months
2)its safer investment option if you choose IEO projects from popular exchanges

you are right, actually this is what crypto investors need, with the existence of IEO investors more secure investment security.  when there is a scam project that is the exchange bet itself, especially if the exchange that is in the top 20 CMC is truly trustworthy or will help unclear projects

for me, the investment of IEO, ICO or STO is the same, it's just different ways to raise funds. we only have to choose which one is worthy of investment that will be profitable in the future. all choices are in the hands of each.

Investing in IEO is safer just like you said. But the most important thing is that an investor should study whatever project he wants to invest in in order to make a wise investment decision.

there is even no guarantee that when the project enters the market they can provide benefits even though the project is successful in sales. The IEO may be more friendly to investors now, because the debts that provide guarantees for trading assets are purchased. but carefully choose the exchange that does the IEO.

I dont think so because they are almost the same but ieo is already in exchange but I did not seeing any ieo that list in good exchange and if I am a  investor i will not doing such as investing on the ieos now because at that exchange i now i will lose money. Simple logic and analysis is needen in choosing projects.

It is true that all of the above ways are ultimately fundraising for project development. But investors want to find the best way to make a profit. And currently the IEO is the best way to achieve that

The IEO is said to be safer than the ICO Project because the token that we bought is clearly the market.  Therefore, now many people participate in the IEO project rather than the ICO.  especially after several failed ICO projects, this really made ICO investors move investments in the IEO.

It's safer, but with top exchanges, like your list and Houbi, Okex. Only the leading exchanges ensure the quality of the project and the profits for investors. With less popular exchanges, I think the risk is still very high.

yes, thats right
because, a project will be good or not is depends from the project itself
smart and professional team, features, technology and many more is very important for any kind of new project in cryptocurrency

and for the OP, remember not all IEO are good and not all ICO are bad my friend

I am thinking of you. the project that does the IEO in a big and good exchange, the project has a good future. indeed not always, but there is at least one important belief that the project has.

This is currently a safer investment than ICO. As far as I know, in the United States they plan to digitize documents that relate to startups in the field of cryptocurrency, and over time investments in cryptocurrency projects will be more secure and accessible.

IEO can be a safer investment of course But to be honest,  I think that there is some hidden secret about the IEO which makes it vulnerable. Let's first talk the IDax scam issues and that should give an example of one issues with IEO.

As time has shown, Bittrex has made a number of mistakes in organizing its IEO, and now I would delete it from the TS lists.

hmm, You are right . Generally, I am also saying about the bad side of IEO. It is right that there is no chance/low chance on High ranked exchange like binance, bittrex ,Houbi ,kucoin but on the unpopular and new exchange have a high risk for Investment I think. The investor should invest in High ranked exchange or no need to invest in IEO anymore.

As an investor you would really eying on Top ranked exchange than on risking your money into those shady ones like Yobit doing some IEO.
The thing here is that getting in or tend to participate is just like on fitting yourself into a need-hole.Lottery based and some significant amount of
Exchange tokens that should be purchased before you can get in and infact even how good is on the eyes when it comes to IEO it do really still have the disadvantages.

Yeah, IEO can be lots safer if it is being handled strictly by the inventors and those reliable exchanges that we all know, but if care is not taken, it can still tow the line of ICO too because IEO is not a system that is completely void of scam if done by smaller exchanges that have no reputation in the market.

IEO too can be a source of major scam and a big one, because even the scammers may decide to use an exchange crated by them to massively collect the wealth of these investors through their system. To get the best of IEO, it is better that we just continue to watch out for IEO from exchanges like Binance, Bittrex, huobi and maybe Kucoin, those are the exchanges that I can still trust a little bit right now because of their past record and effectiveness.

I think that is true because the risk of investing in the IEO is less than the ICO, a lot of fraud is born there. but unlike the IEO, many successful projects and tokens on the market have good prices. many IEO projects are listed in large markets today such as binance.

IEO is safer than ICO but the problem is that it is difficult even nearly impossible to participate in one. I've tried a number of times to participate on Bittrex and Binance but I was not successful so I quit.

This depends entirely on the platform on which IEO is published. Don't treat all IEO platforms as Binance. I know many platforms are listing bad IEO's.

IEO is definitely the future of new projects fundraising.  RIP ICO.

One of the biggest advantages is the prediction of the exchange where the projects will be listed as soon as IEO is finished.

That's true IEO is more safe than ICO, I have tried it and invest in some IEO project on Binace Launchpad. It's more simple, safe and we don't need to be afraid to invest.

I believe that IEO is safer compare to an ICO in terms of trustworthiness but one thing is for sure. The price of the token will surely plummet after the token sale and it is listed on the exchange.

But even IEO is safer compare to an ICO, there are still some instances that the exchanges are launching a fraud IEO or a scam IEO so there is still a chance that the exchange themselves can scam the investors.

and your opinion proven on CMA IEO.they said scammed in idax.pro .its really make us sad, while IEO be new trend for crypto investment, there is exchanges that trying benefits from it.we have to choose only exchanges that have good reputation as long as they stand in crypto market.

Well when it comes to IEO, you do not have to face the problems of FOMO and liquidity. In addition, since exchange evaluates the projects and conducts the IEOs of the token, it is assured that investment in such a project that is normally profitable because it is passed by the best exchange and could give great return. The first even IEO was a huge success on Binance.

IEO must running on big exchange sites. Developer can make their own exchange which has no market cap then running IEO on it, this kind of IEO is suspicious. The cost of listing coin or token in big exchange site is very expensive, but this is form of developer responsibility to ensure that the token or coin can be traded.

IEO is just a better version of ICO,there is really not a lot of difference between the two and now investors are putting all their trust on exchanges to make profits out of IEO projects but the reality is not all IEO projects are worth investing in,just because they sale out in seconds means nothing to me

In my opinion everything goes back to investors how to see the work project that will be followed. Well, with the popularity of many IEO projects, it has become good news for investors with more and more news not good for ICO, because in some scenario the cases that are scam, But also there are a good project also.

Yes I must say that IEO is a better option than ICO right now because of its hype made by Binance. But be careful on joining IEOs in reputative exchange like Binance, Kucoin and Huobi. Dont join in low-class exchanges because they are just following the thread and no real users and investors.

IEOs that are held on reputable exchanges can create a better investment options. Not all exchange can provide a better IEO so I think it's better to make be sure of the exchange the IEO is held in before you go into it.

Binance is safe territory for the big whales, it is not risky to hold the big amounts of crypto there. Indeed, there are a lot of new IEO projects that aim to achieve the same success as what Celer, Bittorent IEOs did on the Binance. Large amounts is a case here, Binance surely will take a route.

there are many IEO in the new exchange, now the choice remains in our hands, I always do research from new exchanges and new tokens before investing in the IEO, there are many IEO and everything is in a new exchange, but if the project has a good product, I will still choose where the altcoin or coins are sold and see how the new exchange system works that lists new altcoins before making a deposit

For me, the IEOs organized by the top exchanges are a safer investment option than ICO. After IEO became popular, many new  exchanges began to organize IEO. I think we should research and be careful about those exchanges before joining these IEOs.

Its true. The performance of IEO keeps becoming incredible each and everyday. I will say this is the better version of ICO. I personally have tried it on Binance exchange and its safe and fast so I'll advise you to opt for IEO.

IEO would have made a lot of meaning, if it will allow a coin to grow organically, but most times, it pumps the coin and afterwards is an eventual dump in price. Hat has been the mentality and for people to change their orientation on it, it might take some time.
It is still good for early investors, but whoever is coming in newly to invest needs to understand the risk attached to it.

Yeah, i think it is safer than ICO, since many investors losses their trust on ICOs and now switched to IEO. And i think IEO would be transparent in any market's situation. Some exchange got fame because they are engaged with IEO projects and example of which is Binance.

I am also a very strong believer of initial exchange offering, aside the fact that you don't have to worry so much about research, it is quite fulfilling knowing that once they sell out, listing is sure,every investor likes this unlike ICO where it could take a long time before getting listed on an exchange.

IEO is not always safer than ICO. we know that there are also several IEOs that have failed, and there are some ICOs that have succeeded. the determination of this matter lies in the project. however, IEO, and ICO are ways of selling. when a team can be trusted, it will make it successful.

For exchanges listed by the OP, I think few numbers can also be added to the credit exchanges with IEOs. IEO has it advantages most especially for investors with aim of ROI in short while but it does not bring as much money into crypto as a whole. The space really need ICO now. Altcoin could bleed longer if ethereum does not get this known demands and we still dont expect those high fund project as before

Gradually, the IEO begins to compromise itself. After all, you probably have already seen the lies on IEO I saw. I bought coins, and then they were worth nothing.

uhm. i dunno if it is really safer or not. i do not trust any exchange platforms especially the popular ones. and so i do not trust the ieos that launched by the centralized exchange platforms.

This's like saying that the banks are safer for storing fiat than holding crypto in storage device you control . Well, you may be right depending on the context.

A lot of bad things could happen to banks in the long run.  They could freeze your account, create difficult terms of service, monitor you, tell you what or what not to spend your money on.  Anything could happen If all this powers get into the wrong hands .
Same is applicable to ICO and IEO

IEO is do a safer format of fundraising than ICO in case it is held on the famous Exchange like Binance or Huobi. You can be sure your funds will be safe there.

I believe it, if an IEO running in the famous exchange, people will not argue to buy it, then the rest all depends on the project. On what's the project based and what product that they will present. Because holding an IEO in such a place also requires substantial costs, so it's clearly not a bad project.

With IEO, investors are better protected from scam. One of the main drawbacks of ICO was that potential investors could not always understand which project would be better to prefer. Often, token sale carried fraudsters who collected money and disappeared without a trace with them. In the case of IEO, projects undergo a tough moderation by the crypto exchange. Thus, the site confirms that it is not a scam.

You're partially right because an IEO been run on famous exchange site doesn't mean the project owners wont end up scamming their investors and only an inexperience crypto investors will fall for such hype of using famous exchange. However, I still prefer STO than IEOs but it better to always seek advice from experienced people of this forum before invest into any IEO.

Well, truly they can be safer and secured for investors to put there funds into, but not all are safe. Most of the times, we feel safe, because they are held on reputable exchanges.
Despite that, some exchanges have disappointed. The disappointment is not only on investors, but also to project team.

I grew with you, IEOs seems to be better options now as participating in public sale is now made easier and scam free. Also, taking the exchanges into consideration, exchanges can only verify the team while investors are left to know if the project is worthwhile or not. However, most IEOs in major exchanges were successful thus giving more preference to IEOs than ICOs.

Although there have been reported issues on scam ICOs, IEOs do not guarantee the authenticity of a project. IEO is just a revolutionary way of rendering sales to investors in a smooth, secured and fast way. However, the team behind the IEO may have their own intentions which can be either good or bad. It is always good to DYOR before joining an IEO.

I agree, the main key before investing is doing research on the project itself. The IEO is a new form of ICO that aims to collect funds by selling tokens. In the end a project depends on the team behind a project and by doing research on the team, we know how far the project can work

I agree with the OP, people generally prefer IEO's now instead of an ICO because it provides security and an assurance that you'll get something from your investment compared to the traditional ICO that will grant you your tokens with whatever date they promised. Only issue I saw with IEO's is that they have some kind of a risk and some campaigns requires you to atleast have $2,000 to participate, in which not all can afford. This new thing that is MTO, (which they say is the evolved IEO (https://medium.com/@StandardTokenizationProtocol/micro-token-offering-mto-3-d5a732475ffa)) can get you a maximum ROI of thousands and get qualified to the next round if not selected as a winner. plus cheaper

I am agree with Binance and Kucoin, but Bittrex ?? Are you sure ??.
As i know Bittrex is a big exchange but when IEO war started the first time IEO in Bittrex is fail.
Bittrex now become a mid exchange, not a big anymore.

I also often choose reputable exchanges to join the IEO because most exchanges with great liquidity always have a lot of quality and easy IEOs that can earn high profits if you're lucky enough to be involved. I have participated in many great IEOs and perhaps Huobi is the exchange that made me the biggest profit ever. Hopefully other exchanges in the near future can be similar to Huobi and Binance because the more IEOs the higher the profits will be.

The IEO held by a large binary or huobi exchanger always gives a big profits to investors. This is what makes investors prefer the IEO than ICO. ICO does not guarantee that will listings on large exchanger, while the IEO held by binance always reach sales target within minutes

It's bit safer but its better than ICO.. It just because this IEO is already in the exchange and you can start trading, and also you can get a profit even just a little as long as you are not trap, unlike ICO you have to wait until they list in the exchange

IEO — much like ICO — facilitates the issuance and sale of tokens in order to seek funding for a project. As opposed to Initial Coin Offering, however, IEOs allow only the verified users of host exchanges to purchase said tokens. IEOs does not include a public issuance aspect where funds are sent to a project wallet the way it happens with ICOs. This difference alone makes IEOs considerably safer as investment opportunities.

Such IEO are growing in this time like moozicore. Moozicore (https://tokensale.moozicore.com/) is revolutionary Background Music Service for Businesses.

I should remind you that the exchange site will offer a cooperation with good project only and exchange site already made a team that has a purpose to audit any ico and i never worry about the credibility of the project.

I would say it's safer than ICO in all ramifications. It's safer when the right exchange is used. Some exchange IEO can be the worst choice both a project and investors can make. There are IEOs which are bad

I agree that it is safer way how to invest into crypto start-ups. But, look at this post that was created today: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5166856.msg51877961#msg51877961 .
It shows that the biggest IEOs on Binance and Bittrex were not profitable either.

There will be some exchanges that will do their own IEO and this is something to watch out for, only participate in a reputable exchange for IEO, they will not let the dubious project to use their platform to scam people, so you are  guaranty of success.

You forgot to include my favourite IEO platform.. gate.io
I love the fact that they make their tokensales inclusive for everybody, there is no lottery or anything like that, everybody can just keep pledging till the allocated time ends, sometimes you see projects raising x20 over the hardcap and the tokens would be distributed to investors no matter how small.

Yes, with IEOs the risk of getting scammed is reduced to a great extent. Along with the project, reputation of top exchanges is also on stake due to running IEOs.
This is actually win win win situation to all. To investors, projects and to exchanges.

It is true that the IEO program is safer than the ICO program because the IEO program is held by the exchange so there will be no fraud and also the time spent by the IEO program is only brief, unlike ICO programs that can last more than one month. if we follow this IEO program, we can invest quickly

IEO is indeed safer than ICO especially if held on reputable exchange like Binance and the coin is guaranteed to be listed there. But i think IEO is not a new thing. Mercatox was the first exchange that i used when the first time i'm in crypto and the IEO was already conducted there.

Thank you so much for what you tell me how to make money. There are actually not so many successful projects. And investing your funds is much more pleasant in those that have already made a successful start.

When you ask most investors to chose from either ICO or IEO, you won't be surprised when all will go for IEOs. They knew what they passed through in the days of ICOs and won't be happy to make such decision again. So, by looking at the growth of IEOs, there isn't a mistake for saying IEO is safer .

yes I didn't see Bittrex on the big exchange board. Previously Bittrex had a large trading volume, but now binance dominates trade.
this is the reason why Bitrex failed with its first IEO. he lost faith.

After recent happenings in the crowdfunding world; I believe neither ieo or Ico Is a safe investment

The safest investment you can have is your research information;
Failed ieos can be avoided if you dyor
Likewise failed icos can be avoided too

in terms of investment, the most priority is security and IEO is better than ICO in general,but we must remain vigilant because fraudsters are always looking for new ways, and to participate in IEO binance and kukoin are the most appropriate choices.

In the current situation ICOS are not ideal way to earn good profits because as you said lots of scam projects are out there and investors lose hope because of this. On the other hand IEOS are the alternative and safe way to invest in a project especially in binance launchpad, easy money if your lottery ticket get picked.

Yes, It's better than waiting for the token list in exchanges in ICOs. previously investors worried much about the listing token in exchange. With IEOs that risk is gone. but we can still lose our investment after token tradable. so we need to find good projects even it's IEO.

Yes, As according to my point of view Ieo's are safer than Ico's because Initial Exchange Offering is gaining momentum and, thanks to the increased security it offers, it is winning the trust of a growing number of investors. More and more exchanges are likewise deciding to enable IEO-based token sales. There are many Ieo's Launched this year like https://tokensale.moozicore.com/

The rise IEO brought about safety and interest in cryptocurrency back to community,  ICOs have done more harm than good, which why IEOs are the solutions to the errors of ICOs. Project teams are duly vetted before thier project are accepted by exchanges, investors feel more comfortable knowing their trusted exchanges are incharge of hosting a particular coin offering. Less doubt as to where to list, after sales. IEO is truly a welcome idea and i am looking forward to a better regulation of sales through the aid of IEOs.

IEO is now a new form of fundraising for new projects. IEO is a safe choice for investors because listings are faster on exchangers and investors can trade it to get profit. Even some IEOs from large exchangers provide huge benefits to investors and this makes the IEO increasingly popular

 In my opinion i prefer IEO  a lot more better than ICO , as a matter of fact i had stopped investing in ICOs after i lost a huge sum to different scam projects in the past.  and a lot of other people i know did same too.

But with the introduction of IEO and STO ,  a little hope has come  for  investors .At least  while investing in IEO you are sure its going to be listed on that Exchange for trading  ,  Not like ICO , where some developers after collecting a lot of money from investors would be looking for one cheap Exchange to list or never get listed at all.

Also, some big Exchanges don't just accept any project but they check to find out the potentials of such projects before listing them for IEO . this gives investors some levels of guarantee of not just  getting back their monies  but  with profits . 

Although every investment comes with its risk , the risk of investing in IEO actually  is minimized .

IEO is now popular to investors and also for hunters rather than to old ICO.  I think the ICO will start to fade even though there are actually many good new projects. Maybe this was the influence of the many ICO scams last year and made many trauma investors invest in ICO and also slow credibility or too long to be in the exchange to be listed.

The popularity of IEO will make you happy for some time, but dont forget that those profits could happen only because of the low caps during sales, after that teams will distribute more tokens and the price will go down sooner or later.

So far the IEO has been safer as an investment than ICOs, as the OP said that they are under exchanger sites like binance, investors who are afraid of funds being taken away are now safer because if the IEO under a large exchanger will be scamed it will have a major impact on the exchanger's site. If you compare the level of risk and current conditions, the IEO is safer, even though the risk is always present in an investment and the benefits derived from how you manage investment.

IEO is a better choice than ICO. Within April to now, how many potential ICO made success? I haven't seen any! But all of the reputed IEO become a successful project! However, I want to change the exchange list, I think Gateio exchange is giving more profit than bittrex, Kucoin. Kucoin just a random exchange right now, bittrex lost their growth too! 

In my opinion IEOs are far more trustable than ICOs. At this moment ICOs are not popular. But at the time when ICOs are popular most of the icos are scam.they took peoples money and disappeared. Some of them failed at the development stage. So people are afraid cause there is no trust factors. But after IEOs came to the market . It came with some great names with it like binance or kucoin or okex . So this Exchanges are already trusted and what they offer also trustable. So yes IEOs are more safe option for investment than ICOs are.

Personally as a cryptocurrency investor, i believe anyone who is  really eying some Top ranked exchange IEOs must have their luck on their side, by taking a chance with your money into those obscure ones like Yobit doing some IEO is a big and unnecessary risk.
The problem with Lottery based IEO is that some critical amount of Exchange tokens that ought to be purchased before you can get in

We can't deny that IEO is now working great this time, yet we aren't that long as it started and to see their performance but giving a positive response from many investors, it is quite to think that it will be different from what ICO did today. With all the positive impact in investors mind, will it have been a very good start for IEO.

IEO is supposed to be a safer and better option to ICOs. This is because the exchanges already carry out the vetting of cryptocurrency projects to make sure that they are legit and not scams, also immediately listing on exchanges removes the problems of long waiting periods. Unfortunately that is how far the benefit goes in some cases as even low value projects make it to IEO this days and research is still needed to ensure that money is not lost investing on such projects.

Even though we have that option to take IEO over ICO but still we need to find out if it still a good project to invest with. Not necessarily we just think that it will safe at all cause it might be the same at it happen to ICO which everything it started with good and legit project but it ends up with full of scam and dead projects. We can't decline this scenario as many scammers tried to take advantage of the market.

IEO is like gambling, I have not noticed the safety from the IEO. Very few people can buy the IEO and the rest will be reduced by 15% - 20% of their accounts are dumped after the IEO.
Even buying an IEO is not necessarily safe, try looking at the VBK of the bittrex exchange, do you know how many times it has decreased since selling the IEO. I don't like IEO, and I advise you to stay away from it.

IEOs is a win/lose investment because the exchange site where the IEO is launch stands as a middle person between the project owners and investors just like the escrow service provider and their job is to make sure both sides get their asset. But, the losing side is the investors not doing his own concrete research about the future promising of the project.

It's a fact this is the reason why top exchanges are adopting it, they carry the load of verifying the legitimacy of a project, they are the one verifying the team, the platform, and the concept and this is to protect their investors and their platform as well, they want a win-win situation.

Yes I totally agree with you. IEO is safer to invest than ICO because for IEO, exchange listing is sure and the exchange won't want to ruin their reputation, hence they will do proper research on yeah.

It is not right for all exchanges. There are good exchanges, there are bad ones, too. There are reliable exchanges, and there are scam exchanges. Your theory will turn into wrong if you invest in IEOs of scam exchanges. My exclusive indicators might not be right for all scam exchanges, but I think there are some good indicators for potential scam exchanges:
- Low volume.
- Easy to accept listing requests; or automatically list coins without demands/ listing requests from their teams.
They do this to try attract users, then when total money users store on their exchanges are huge enough, they will do planned-scam exits.

With the IEO project has given new hope for crypto lovers. It is important to protect investors who invest because of those who have made the project bigger. Hopefully, this IEO is the best solution to invest and participate in the Bounty campaign.

yes sometimes in the future we from caressen chesster to work on release with sales of our token shares with the exchange market and preparing new platform to gives with chance on moderating the one for a life time work of chart and gives of option on offers as market to helps of public as might to turns with exchange as expecting use with possession of our token from the table of work with the webworks.

the exchange platform have with the name of Firstindo Crypto

More IEO grows, the greater the opportunity of investors because the recent IEO projects bring very good profits to everyone and many projects have achieved more than 1000% like SERO , ERD, TOP and that is are the top projects. I believe that IEO will appear more in the near future and if we continue to have great interest, IEO will be an opportunity for us to change lives.

yes. and a lot of people join ieo than ico. not only more save because big exchanger do it, but also trusted. people can think kyc is good and dont hesitate to do it.
ieo give investor more option to invest their fund with encouragement from some exchanger.

Yes, after the introduction of heavy identity verification and other problems, bitrex lost some of the users)

I think it is very appropriate and makes the IEO very popular especially as many IEO projects are supported by market exchanges that have high trust. and I am very confident that there will be many investors who will enter and of course grow high trust values ​​from the community so that cryptocurrency investment is increasingly in demand and the market returns to excitement.

IEO is indeed more effective in building market trust because tokens or coins are ready in the market and then waiting for the official schedule to be traded. But, the success of the project is not only determined by ico and ieo, but many other factors influence, if the concept is mature, good strategy, good market interest, ICO and IEO will definitely have a positive impact on investors.

Many exchanges are starting IEO and this is a great opportunity for you to participate in those projects because the opportunity to earn high profits is huge. I think IEO is now of great interest to everyone, so it will attract a lot of big investment funds to join this market and IEO will be further mentioned in the next few years so now IEO is considered the safest investment

That is true that IEO can be safer investment option that ICO.
So far this method is good. I advice to invest in the IEO that conducted by Binance launchpad.
This exchange is very good. The project that hold IEO on this exchange always make 1-5x ROI.

in the new investment project there seems to be no different ICO and IEO, both are still at risk with scammers.
but indeed the IEO with a large exchange is more trusted by investors and it makes investors feel safe with their investments.

What has happened earlier to the ICOs are repeating with the IEOs as well. At first, when there were a few IEOs, the quality was maintained and most of them were good ones. But now too many IEOs are getting listed and the quality has gone down. Even little known exchanges with just a few thousand users are allowing IEOs in their platform. My advice is to stay away from both the ICOs and IEOs. It is not worth to take the risk, unless something drastic happens and the situation improves.

Every investors knows that, especially those have previously invested in ICO, and now investing in IEO, and they also know which is one is safer and I'm sure we are all gonna agree that IEO is safer since the chance of getting scam is very low, or else, the exchange reputation will suffer.

yes, the IEO is very good for us to become a place for new investments other than ICO. But we also have to be careful in choosing the IEO, we need to do it in large exchanges such as binance. many successful IEO projects there

Yes, my friend you are right IEO's are safer than ICOs because of the management and control capability of a trusted third party — the host exchange. An ICO is something anybody can do and there is nothing to guarantee honesty and security. ICOs do not entail monitoring, whereas, to engage in an IEO, a project team is required to meet exchange requirements or else have their token rejected by the exchange.

Like I recently invested in Moozicore. Moozicore is a really good and trustable project for a safe investment.(https://tokensale.moozicore.com/)

As time go by we are sitting out every issue and more are generating which is definitely something to worry about .

ICO was the way to go back then before it was missed used to scam investors and here we are now with IEO which gives more confidence in investors , so we are going a smooth way to tackle every challenges in crypto as time goes by which is also a DEX for CEX that is really creating decentralized that crypto is all about.

most investors have switched or prefer to use IEO, the IEO has benefited many new investors, many ICO investors have benefited greatly from the IEO. In addition, the risk of fraud in the IEO is also smaller than the ICO project.

Not allways, i am part in many bounty campaigns. Now this projects try to do IEO and after that list on exchange.
Price of IEO on non popular exchange show dump everytime

That's true. You don't even have to do your own search because These exchanges already did it for you. And I believe that the project that they choose must be one of the best. But the problem is the difficulty to buy some coins from their IEO.

It's always glad to see people inventing things for the better. When ICO's had its downfall several years back, people became wary of fundraising events involving crypto and that's when STO was invented, then IEO. So far, it has satisfied the taste of the community and it became a platform where people can again support legitimate blockchain companies (http://www.hpb.io/?utm_source=lx) (since they are also vetted by these exchanges) that helps to maintain the network, get low transaction fees and electricity consumption. The top 3 listed exchanges from the OP are all great, some good ones are Liquid and BitMax as well.

Of course, the chances of getting a "minus" by investing in IEO are less than in ICO, but the story of Bitrex says that you need to be careful here too.

They are safer, because they guarantee a listing opportunity directly after the end of their token sale. But not all of them are safe, and I would not take part on Bittrex IEO, because they have failed already and not only once.

so far, the IEO is considered better than the ICO, but many IEO programs have emerged and work together with rarely-heard or unpopular exchanges, so we have to be able to sort out which IEOs are reliable

I don't quite agree that IEO guarantees the investors of coin liquidation after the sales. What if the coin gets listed and yet the investors gets to lose a better part of their investment. For me, the only advantage of IEO over ICO is just that the coin gets listed after all, but it doesn't guarantee the success of the project except in few cases of IEO conducted in a good and reputable exchange like Binance, Kucoin, etc.

actually the same. because we send our money to exchange. and we will get a token in our account. unfortunately, if the project is scam then the token will not be useful. that can happen. some have even seen. it is not much different from ICO safely or not for investment.

Some projects apply both. Maybe it did when the team has no enough fund.
They started crowdfunding with ICO only for the listing and launchpad fees in the exchange and then carried out the IEO in it.

Certainly now IEO is much safer than ICO, because IEO is carried out on the exchange and in case of unsuccessful project, the coin can be sold on the exchange

but the risk must still be considered. the price after Ieo can be a dump even though it is done in a global market. in-depth analysis of the project must be carried out maximally. Ieo and Ico will be successful if the project has the strategy and strength to build good and quality market trust. so there is no guarantee that Ieo will be more successful than Ico.

No one can predict prices after the IEO or ICO, whether dump or pump. At least the IEO can be said to be safer and better than ICO. Therefore it's better to look for a safer one than we have to have a big risk on our investment.

For me it's a big yes. The trust factors in IEOs is far better than ICOs generally. But I am not talking about ant IEOs IEOs which are offered by big institution are really trustworthy atleast for short term investment. And they are also highly profitable at this moment. At the mid of the 2018 ICOs are very scary no trust factors was their anyone can scam you. But now the problem is kind of solved. So for me IEOs are far far trust worthy than ICOs when it comes to investment.

No one like to lose money, and everyone looking for profit, so you need to do some effort to gain this profits, investing without research like you through your money, ICO or IEO should do research.

investing in ICOs and IEOs is safe as long as you make sure you invest enough in it because the bigger your investment, the more money you will make.

Well I think same, in the angle that initial Exchange Offering is safer investment option than Initial coin offering. After the scam of last year on ICO, most people get really fed up, one good thing about the IEO is that the exchanges do research on the project in question before approving it, that makes it safe for investors, also listing is guarantee when token sales ends.

IEO is sure a safer investment than ICO but very few good ICO can show up anytime too,the most profitable project for me this year so far never host any IEO and they only did ICO months ago,learn to do research not to miss out on good IEO and ICO projects

Its safer by the reason what you can sell your tokens immediately.
Most of ICO not list to the exchanges last year, and your tokens become a garbage

Haha. I always hear that complain from people who participated in last year's ICOs. They were all saying the same that it's 6 months or more of waiting for the sale to finish and even have numerous extension just to reach softcap but end up not getting listed and no updates after all. While IEOs has all the advantage that even the price drop its value, at least you can sell it. And as time goes by, I'm sure you can get what you have invested back in a bullrun.

While an IEO is come, it definitely be trade in exchange irrespective of the price volatility. But, if you have participated for the ICO then it is not the time burden when it will be listed in the exchanges. I know there are many ICOs which were came in the year of 2017 but still now many of the crypto haven't listed in any exchanges. But, IEO directly lunch on a exchange platform. So, it is good some how.

I agree with you, IEO is more safer than ICO because usually top exchange will not accepting scam projects.
This is good for investors, their money won't be lost anymore like in other scam ICO's.
But they need to choose the exchange carefully, because scam exchange might running scam IEO too.

For investors, the most important thing is to quickly list in the market and the IEO can make a project be traded faster. For developer teams, ICO requires negotiations with exchangers for listings, unlike the IEO because in my opinion this includes packages offered by exchangers to the developer team

Both the IEO and the ICO are risky, but in the case of the IEO you risk losing only a part of the invested funds, and in the case of the ICO, you can lose all the funds

Wrong, the risk level depends on the project, it doesn't matter which option you choose for investing in. IEOs can be a good source for buying the pumped coins before getting listed on the exchange, ICOs don't have such an offer.  Losing all money in ICO means the unskilled investor bought a token of the useless project, IEOs usually have a better return on the investment compared to the other token sale modes.

I think IEOs are only safer on top exchanges because they guarantee the legitimacy of the project, because they themselves have the integrity so they try as much as possible not to promote scam projects.
But it is still possible for them to fall victim of scam projects because scammers are now so smart that they design their project that it is hard to know it is a scam.

Sure, IEO is more saver than ICO because often people more ready to believe in existing exchanges than believe in not existing project. That is reason why this model is good.

Considering the fact that the crowdfund is in the coffers of a third party which in this case is the cryptocurrency exchange who serves as an Escrow, there's less to worry about. IEO is more appreciated when the exchange is a reputable and popular exchange like the global exchange who are concerned about the longevity of the platform and would carry out the function in good faith.
