Bitcoin Forum

the BTC market in 2018 is very bad and created a bear market. and that affects the fundraising model (ICO). finally a new alternative fundraising was coming such as STO and new model fundrising can attracted many large investors is the IEO.

We know that ICO can make money quickly because of the public sales model, but the fundrising model is often used by scammers to get money quickly and only for the benefit of the team. even some projects don't care about their projects. so they only create bad coin coins that have no value on the market.
coins from the IEO can be directly traded in the exchange after the sale is complete. but the ICO model must wait a long time to trade after it is listed in the exchange. so I think IEO is reliable and user friendly. how about you all ?
do you see bad results from the IEO?

When ICO is not working anymore, IEO is the new flavor with a twist.  Since IEO offers much greater security to investors due to guaranteed listing when IEO is completed. 

But beware, Some Low rate exchange starts offering IEO for projects without any due diligence so its open new doors for ICO scammers.

The new model of fundrising which is IEO to me is just another way of scam in the world of cryptocurrency because the same lower exchanges will still press ahead to IEOs. Remembering the ICO days, many of these platforms will never carryout thorough research about the project they intend to promote rather put their self interest in front, undermining the negative side of the investors if the project fail to succeed. Many of these exchanges then promote some project during ICOs and never be listed on good exchange for one reason or the other.

Personally, IEOs will be of more ICOs by tomorrow; but today they will act well, so, let watch out against tomorrow and see how it will go from here.
Imagining some Exchanges without volume participation in IEOs.

Scammers are now not going to act by themselves alone but with the help of accomplices like the exchanges as their cahoots. So the scam busters will have to dig further to uncover it all and I guess the new scam busters might not be any users in the forum but from the exchange business or probably from the SEC.

As far as I remember, Kucoin was the first one to offer IEO (correct me if I am wrong.) This will be good for both investors and the team as well since it's secured that after fund raising they will be listed. Developers should be careful since a lot of exchange has popped-out this year. Maybe that's also a lot of developers started creating their exchange instead of digital product as their services to take advantage of the new trend which is the IEO.

If theres a new or revised system to prevent scamming then there would be always some sort of ways to take advantage on how those scammers gain easy money once again and with
IEO i cant really deny that this gives out some security on investors side but the probability of manipulation would really be high.Why? whales do still have that edge on buying it out on initial phase
and leaving those small portion into smaller investor so you do already know on what would happen next when its already available on trading.

As already mentioned, IEO is just another form of ICO. And it will die as ICO is (or did). Maybe a bit more security as the exchanges can filter out the scams but smaller exchanges won't care much. Still, the investors have literally no security and are buying again some coupons...

STOs are the future. We are expecting a smart regulation to come soon and when it does it might partially revolutionize the financial market.

haha, nice joke.
the ICOs killed themselves as do every other scam that has existed in the history of the scammers. they come, scam people for a while and succeed. then people catch on to the stupid scam and don't pay them anymore. then the scammers change their face and come at them at another angle, in this case they call it another name while pulling the same scam, STO, ICO, IEO, ABC, ... they are all the same.

IEO is really quite a promising ICO. It has more advantages in relation to standard ICO because the exchange selects projects and acts as a guarantor of the quality of the project of its kind because it values ​​its reputation. As we all see the format IEO is now very popular, and the sale of tokens takes literally minutes. At the same time, demand is many times greater than supply. Perhaps, IEO has replaced ICO and ICO with time it will simply go down in history. Unfortunately, there are too many scams in the ICO and many investors have been disappointed in ICO. Now by investing through IEO, you can speculatively earn x2 or even x10 and this attracts a lot of speculators to
IEO. But as you understand, this is not very good.

Every things have merits and demerits too. In my personal sense IEO is relatively safer than ICO because here you don't need to bother about many things like project legality, team, exchange listing. But one thing is unfamiliar for IEO in recent times which is new investors are getting lower chances to buy due to a big number of investors on existing exchange.

But frankly to say IEO locking many projects and listing the projects paying them and they like. We cannot agree on all which is accepted by the exchanges decided. We are safe, secure and anonymous with the bitcoin now we can opening everything with sharing KYC and our information to the project and trading sites by accepting the legal agreement and rules.

The only reason ICO's ever worked was because how crazy the market was, it was the gold fever but for bitcoin, similarly the reason why ICO's don't work that much anymore is because people don't want to invest reklessly anymore, also, 99% of ICO's, even the ones who raised millions ended up doing nothing, no product, no services.

You may skip it if the IEO is done in a trusted exchange only, you should do researches if the IEO is happening in not a well known exchange or even better to ignore the IEO in such exchange.

The emergence of IEO's in cryptosphere I must say has reaffirms assurance of Hope in the cryptocurrency space.
But it has it's own advantage and disadvantage
The poster has highlighted most of the advantages so I will drop the disadvantages.
I must say, there's no transparency in the way the ieos are conducted by exchanges.
There's a rumour that most exchanges sell to themselves and the project team and as such individuals and investors do not get in.
Every exchange seems to be introducing their own Ieo ,which I think may result to abuse if the process .
The possibility of projects that do not have any concrete use cases would emerge.etc

The only problem I see is that MultiVac was sold in 7 seconds. Well, who the hell bought it and how come it was that fast? Maybe is was a bot or something, but we can't really discount that there could still be manipulations from behind. I guess EIO model should have put something in place to check and prevent this kind of manipulation.

As the days pass by, more and more ppl would realize how risky and how low are the chances of profiting, it's inevitable but ICO's won't disappear anytime soon, people would still jump to it and it would still be the most used compare to sto and ieo because the project team still has the power to choose and in general, would always prefer the easiest route which is ICO - fewer requirements and capital. Not to mention that a lot of projects are scam, so if you put yourself in their shoes, you would prefer ICO since it's easier to exit.

Please explain in more details, what is IEO? Does it offer benefits of Secure Token Exchange or is it just an ICO with only difference on instant trading after sale ends?
I think secure token offering is good option to feel more secured when investing in ICO. Investment isn't rasy option and wheb you invest, there are always risks, non model can make you sure that team members will do their best to create great coin and etc.
Btw can you list projects (famous ones) which have used IEO?

I think that scammers is anywhere so when IEOs boom, scammers can still appear, they can do their IEO in small exchanges where dev exchange doesn't care to protect users. However, IEOs have brought a new wind to market.

It is hard to believe that these ICOs are still able to gain some traction. It has become too easy I guess. If you go to the altcoin section, there is a hundred new ANN threads everyday. Who exactly still invests in these stupid ideas is hard to fathom?
The situation is such that no credible entrepreneur would think about going the ICO route because it has scam written all over it. Only the malicious ones out to fool ignorant noobs are using the ICO route now.

IEO seems to be the in thing. Bittrex had their first IEO for something called RAID which was cancelled owing to a partnership cancellation. This basically seemed like a setup for confidence building. (Look we cancel it if we find something wrong..so you can obviously trust us..LOL). Next they had an IEO for Veriblock. Don't know how that went though.

IEO seems to be effective and assure the users with the immediate settlement, whereas with ico it is required to send the investment amount prior and the respective number of tokens will be send only after specific time period. Also the exchange listings were done few days after the launch. As in a quote IEO too has got flaws which will come to light after few launch, now it is in its early stage.

I guess actual worth of IEO will be found out after an year, when they will be able to deliver or not.
Only consolation is that they are already in exchange so you can easily liquidate your IEO token.

It is giving false security also that it is listed in exchange so exchange completed the due delligence.

yes. we are always be careful of exchanges that suddenly make the IEO model. besides that we also have to be careful of troubled exchanges. such as exchanges that have been hacked or exchanged that have low trade value. it doesn't benefit us very much. a few days ago the cryptopia market was hacked. and suffered a loss of 225 billion. I think we should avoid cryptopia, unless the security service for ctyptopia has been improved.

The initial offer of coins (ICO), is now experiencing a very strong decline. Partly due to a decrease in activity in the cryptocurrency market, and partly due to the high level of fraud among such ICO projects.
The initial exchange offer (IEO) is a relatively new way of raising funds for projects to issue new tokens, which is different in that fundraising occurs directly through the exchange. Here there is a certain guarantee to avoid fraud in such projects, but the exchanges still cannot fully guarantee this. The exchanges do not have sufficient authority to inspect the fundraising team and therefore I do not think that this fundraising model will take root. Only government regulation of this type of activity can help us avoid fraud in this type of activity.

Of course, things are expected to be getting better not the other way round. As you have said the IEO will reduce those shitcoin and will run into exchange quick. Is it not better to have that and be sure you are doing deal rightly. The only thing that I suspect it that,they may want to be strict with the use of KYC which will force every to define themselves.

how can the IEO model create fraud? I think IEO is very safe than ICO. in my opinion the IEO is very safe from fraud and is very efficient at creating value in exchange. maybe the IEO is a bad alternative for bounty hunters. because they cannot get free coins from the project. Today's investors are worried to invest in ICO. I think the IEO is a good model for saving investor assets. but in general, we also have to accept the ICO as a fundrising model that can provide greater benefits to all elements than the IEO.

the name or the model of the fundraising doesn't matter at all. it can be called anything but as long as it is the same, the problems exist. the important thing is why these funds (which are sometimes in the millions of dollars) are being raised and what do those people do with the funds they raised?
unfortunately the answer to that question so far is "nothing" because each of these ICOs in the past couple of years have only gotten paid to release a token that has no usages!
now they are repeating the same thing but are calling it IEO!

Initial Exchange Offerings (IEO) are definitely a better option than ICOs, because it is more difficult for scammers to start a scam IEO, because it has to be approved by exchanges. So, this is going to be a safer investment and you will be able to invest in this, directly from your exchange account.  8)

The Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) projects will also piggy back onto the millions of exchange users out there, without them having to fork out a lot of money on marketing.  ;D

There have of course been a number of fraudulent ICO’s that have tarnished the token sale reputation and struck fear and uncertainty into would-be investors.

Ok, I think the relationship between exchange and token creators is quite symbiotic. At first glance it would appear the benefits are clearly in favour of the company listing the token but the benefits extend far beyond this.

The huge IEO news is yet another positive move, one that is likely to prove favourable amongst the growing community. With multiple utility facets in development and a live MVP through a community management & development company, the IEO is likely to further enhance development and expose a great project to an even bigger audience. The on boarding process for new clients to provide is also gaining momentum which will likely result in an increased client base and in an increased demand for the community management & development services.

I joined the IEO from Cobinhood exchange to buy some simplyBrand (SBA) tokens and everything worked very smoothly.

I see 2 big advantages when using IEO instead of ICO: first, the exchanges verify in detail the projects,  as listing bad products would affect directly their reputation and second, as an investor you don't have to wait for months after ICO finished to have your tokens listed on an Exchange. It would be a third advantage,  too, as you know from the beginning the name of the first exchange your tokens will be traded.

I don't see bad result with IEO, in fact it gives benefits to investors as their coins will be listed right away.
The bad side only is if the sites will connive with the coin developer and they will allow their project to get listed even without a potential.
Investors has to choose wisely, if you are investing in IEO, you should choose Binance and other reputable exchanges. 

IEO offerings are more trustworthy. Most will enforce heavy kyc rules for the team to avoid scams. An ico offers no such protection hence the continuous scams and bad offerings

For investor, its more safe to invest in IEO because exchanger guarantee will list token or coin in their platform. Many scam ICOs in 2018 and its bad for investor trust. But i think many good ICO with good developers team will survive and reach the target but its need research

as much as I know with the little research I have done about IEO, it's no better than the ICO. My greatest challenge with the IEO is the fact that it's sales finishes in less than 30sec leaving out smaller investors from being part of the offering.

Exchanges need to develop a more transparent way for more investors to participate. Without the help of various algorithms .
The advantage of IEO is that the coin after the sale is immediately traded on the top exchange...but if the coin is of no value-its price falls quickly.
In IEO participate mainly only speculators.

Yobit Exchange has been doing IEO coin listings for years, we all know how those turn out after a while.

Nothing new here except a centralized means of not being fucked over from more well known exchanges when a coin "wants" initial funding and tries a dump & run afterwards, Exchange KYC will play a role in coin devs wanting to go that direction and even then arms can be twisted if you know what I mean...

if history is any indication, anybody in this market who asked to be paid (fundraising included) has never delivered anything. that is why they want to be paid in advance so that they have no obligation of delivering anything anymore and there is nothing the "investors" can do about it.
and being listed on exchanges is going to be their doom because people have faster and easier way of dumping these tokens now while before they had to wait until they got listed and slowly moved their coins there to dump.

And maybe the scammers are trying to enter the IEO too because that will be a legit way for them to attract more investor to come back. I hope that the investor could be still careful to invest in IEO and don't invest in that project if the project is not good for them. Always check the project is the only way for us to prevent getting scam by them.

Its just new way of advertising so you have to make enough research before the investment on IEOs as well,exchanges will do their advertisement effective to make them famous so everyone investing on these new projects might become victim as well so I am not interested even after these kind of fund raising platforms were created.

There is absolutely nothing new is this "model". The only change is that an IEO is at the same time a guarantee that this coin is going to be listed on an exchange, where this IEO takes place. It does not matter how good the coin is, only exchange itself matters.

It depends on hardwork of these exchanges. So, when the sale ends in 1 minute, exchange prepares everything more quickly, thinking that it will be traded with bigger volumes. Big volume means big earnings.

The recent IEO fundraising model has given us a lot of surprises when all projects are profitable for all investors. But in fact, there was a project that failed when investors lost money. I believe the IEO will not replace ICO and it will soon be forgotten.

IEO guarantee you that the coins are going to be tradeable at the exchange. It doesn't guarantee that the project is going to be successul or not. But i think it is more attractive for the investors to know that the coin is going to be listed at a good exchange. And there is more hope that team is not scamming its investors and that they will receive their coins.

In the past, there were many ICO projects, and users needed to distinguish between true and false. Now IEO is the trading platform for selecting projects, and we are unlikely to be fooled. But now every platform is IEO, ICO ending is the same as ICO...

All the same cheats will be, sooner or later. Bittrex had time to calculate the fraud one day before their first IEO tokensale, but if they didn’t have time, consider this case to significantly reduce interest in exchange and IEO 

read several threads pertaining to IEO discussions already. though it is the new hype in fund raising, we all know that sooner or later, it will be infiltrated by fraudulent projects again. with small exchanges running their own IEOs, high chance that they will be accepting substandard projects and might be true also for big exchanges. we don't know their financial arrangements afterwards, so expect high trading manipulation when trading commences.

Finally, Someone is this forum think logically, Lets Devs start projects by their own money and then we will see how they work 24/7 non stop to make their projects succeed , Not like ICOs free money , once they put hands on ico fund the luxury life start and they give thousands of excuses to investors for the project not moving like in roadmap and then investors ends holding worthless token.
Lets stop investing in ICO IEO or whatever the name, keep your bitcoins safe in your wallet and do some daily trading better than giving your money to IEO ICO lazy scammers suckers.

Any form of fund raising has its good sides and bad sides but as for me, I think IEO is less riskier to ICO because with it, all the necessary background checks that one has an investor needs to do would have been done by the exchange because they also will not want to tarnish their own image with scam project

In my own opinion, IEO will be better than the ICO which was known for scam. With the advent of IEO Bounty Hunters will not be benefiting from the programme as this is purely base on Exchange. The era of IEO will bring hope to investors which was lost during the days of ICO. Hope the standard be maintain by these Exchanges to give confidence to investors.

I am still startled with the way it is increasingly getting popularity, certainly it will be infiltrated by scammers as well, but just that investors should be careful not to invest in those that are traded on shitty exchanges. IEO's bring some confidence though than ICO's

Yeah, IEO has been already a trend and people are likely to go with it. I have observed one thing that after some of the successful IEO bitcoin has started to risex does it have any connection? Has IEO made a positive look to the cryptocurrency market?
I think IEO will be a good to go for investment. And it will be better for both the project and investors.

It is now, it's actually good news for investors because they now invest safely and profitably and a wake-up call for ICO and those who are involved on it, like these rating sites to clean up all their mess, or they will be gone in a year or two.

IEO is indeed a new model of fundraising after ICO and STO. But the purpose is still the same which is to raise fund for project development from public. IEO may be more trusted because it is done in an exchange so that the issue of listing can be guaranteed. While the background of the project should have been verified by the exchange organizer of the IEO.
However, it does not rule out the possibility that the project failed and the price dropped after the IEO was completed due to the inability of developers to implement plans in the development of the project. So, everything goes back to the developer team in making the project a success.

I think the idea behind an IEO is actually a great one considering the fact that over 50% of crypto enthusiasts are kinda tired of the word ICO and all that it seeks to represent.. Personally, it's boring also. I believe this will make people more interested after a long bored time.

Yes, it is true that the IEO sales brought investors back to life with confidence that all of them would have a good impact, the IEO in exchange would definitely be registered there.

Yes, it is completely reliable. I earned more than $ 60000 from OKex's IEO project. I bought it quite quickly and its price was x17 times the price of the IEO.
They paid the number of tokens immediately to my wallet and I was able to trade quickly without fear of being cheated. it's a great thing for ICO replacement.

Crypto people don't want to believe and invest in any ICOs, they are tried of scam or fishing ICOs. So something new way to funds rise and provide that this ICOs is active with have enough trusted members to successful this ICO. Initial exchange offer is good way to check right ICO and also for invest.

IEO is still the same thing as ico, but the fundraising process is just different. Initial exchange offering (IEO) is conducted on the platform of a cryptocurrency exchange on behalf of the startup that seeks to raise funds with its newly issued tokens. Why investors now prefer IEO to ICO is because of the high fraudulent activity that ICOs are conducted with, and IEO are more safer because the exchange won't want to jeopardize its integrity by conducting tokensale for a scam project, which gives investors assurance that their money is safe.

Of course, in this case, the exchange may use the passport data and personal information of the developer by the project, in order to avoid any problems if there are big risks regarding fraud. But we must also assume that the scammers are also working on their improvement and they will find any way out to deceive not only ICO, but also IEO.

The poor results of the IEO at the weak exchanges is enough. Only very large exchanges are kept, however, I would not call them an IEO successful. In their sale can get only a measly couple of percent of people from those who want it and this is very bad. I think this is a bad result.

Agree with you, this IEO can be a very effective alternative to replace the unclear ICO. It is not even possible that scammers will enter into a fundraising such as this IEO.

Now that things have changed, it’s entirely possible that we might be seeing further increases in the prices of these native exchange tokens. Moreover, users are also required to be holding them over a certain period, which is also likely to curb the selling pressure.

Of course, high demand for IEOs can always be interpreted as a very positive signal for the industry, in general. The question is whether IEO investors are there for the projects themselves, or just for the relatively quick gains and the more important issue is how long will it last.

If that is all the difference that exists between icos and ieos then I do not see why you seem to think they are that different, if the developers of a coin were dedicated enough to their project they could allow investors to exchange their coins from the very beginning and yet that did not protect investors from scammers at all, to me this is nothing but a desperate attempt from developers and scammers to try to convince the community that they have changed and they should keep throwing money at them but I doubt it is going to work.

How about Yobit :D
ICOs on their Exchanger
https://i.ibb.co/L0DpqGd/yoshit.png (https://ibb.co/Fhk7fP4)

IEO is not just an ICO that had tokens sold by exchanges. It is necessary that the project has undergone some kind of verification of the exchange and it will offer some guarantees for those who acquire part of the project. Exchange tokens such as the BNB could perhaps be considered an IEO. And they were released longer than this token.

Edit.: BNB is from 2017-07-07. So I am not so sure :P

Yes IEO is next solution for fundrising and many succcess project using IEO, and i think because this reason, in the future will give impact to bountyhunter, Because IEO doesn't need a bounty hunter to help promotion, so maybe the extinction of the bounty hunter will happen, what do think guys??

NP
and I don't mention yobit as IEO, I just said ICOs on their Exchanger :P

Because the KYC procedure will prevent it but remember scammers used various ways to scam our amounts. IEO is a little bit effective consider the fact that it was holding ICO and that ico will be listed instantly for IEO.
That makes sense at all.

Even legit teams can do fraudulent activities. Though IEO is considered to be more credible than ICO, still the chance of screwing small time investors is always there. We don't know how the exchange and the project arrange their back door deals. So we still need to be vigilant with things.

of course, the IEO has many benefits for the Exchange, the exchange will get benefit from free advertising provided by the token seller. so, exposure like this will bring in more users, because people who want to participate in the IEO must register in the exchange first.

then, coins will be directly registered in an exchange, such as Fetch and BitTorrent only available in the Binance launchpad exchange.

Thats more credible way of fund raising, investor dont need to fear about things like fake project, and scam. Exchange hold the responsibility to offer a good project to its traders also for caring their name. When it comes to investment, ieo have a big advantage to ICO, everyone can focus about if the project can do what ever it takes to stand in the market situation. The token will be for sure go to your designated wallet.

Yea we all know that IEO is the new model but what problems does it solve? For some IEO to close sales in seconds does not help smaller investors.  To me I see it as much of a problem than to its advantages if it can't be fixed. We can't have the whales manipulate the market

IEO nailed it for crowdfunding projects and it's a successful path so far but my main worry now is if we will keep seeing good bounties from these IEO projects that has already met there hardcap in second to minutes

The model as a whole is very successful and brings stock exchanges to a new level, because it is with these tokens that you have to invest, so it seems to me that the whole model is very successful.

IEO is essentially a new kind of ICO. And like any new and successful - initial exchange offering  for some time waiting for success.
People see that this method of raising funds brings income and begining to invest in all projects indiscriminately.But we have to understand that the IEO in the form that now - long will not be able to exist.

Correct. Other than how people are buying the tokens, nothing else has changed. Call it ICO or call it IEO, or launchpad offering or whatever the heck they call it on different platforms, the main agenda has not changed. Selling worthless tokens to people in the hope that it can become expensive one day.

You think IEOs prevent fraud? Maybe to some extend,,, but wait and see one day. When people complain IEO tokens are like ICO tokens we shall see the truth that exchanges cannot guarantee price.

On the issue of scam, I think it all boils down to how much work that exchange platform is put in place to do a background check on the project they intend to launch their IEO because if anything goes wrong, It will lead to a bad reputation on those exchange platform. However, I believe this will be the smartest and cost-effective ways of running token sales for the dev that knows what they are doing. Many of the exchange platform with such functions have system that is AML/KYC compliance so it will bring more reliability than the usual ICO.

For this IEO, it is now an investment that is very much in demand and certainly all reach their respective targets. I see that not all IEOs have succeeded quickly and the benefits are not all IEO multiples. I see the IEO in binance one of which is one of the IEOs that very many people are interested in investing there. If the IEO fails to make a big profit, of course in the future, the Exchange will be difficult again to make investors trust to invest in their IEO.

The model is the same, people are exchanging their crypto currencies in the projects tokens or coins. The only thing that changed by IEOs is that investors can be sure that this token is going to be tradable on that exchange within a short period of time.

IEO I find it very difficult to buy, I do not understand why. Although underwritten by the floor but beneficial to large investors and small investors, it is difficult, I am not opposed and this is an alternative to ICO old and better.

So far, I have not seen bad results,but on the other hand, I have not seen bad projects that carried out IEO.After I found out that many people with the help of scripts solved the problem of investing, I was upset.But the team exchanges revealed such violators and deprive them of the tokens obtained by fraud.With this approach, investing will have only positive dynamics and I think that this is one of the best ways to invest your money getting the maximum profit.

It’s not the world that is actually boring to investors but the alarming rate of scams and bad projects that ICO continues to produce on a daily basis making investors to lose interest and the affected ones also discouraging the intending ones about cryptocurrency.

Thank God IEO has come to redeem these images of cryptocurrency ICO was about tarnishing and I do hope that IEO will maintain its position and any other exchanges that wishes to join in the IEO league ensures that they do exactly the way Binance and other great exchanges handles the platform, through this all investors that has been discourage will get back to the system.

IEO is more likely the same with ICO,  the only problem in this is the price manipulation. Since some coin from IEO can be traded in exchange after the offering, it can dump or pump instantly. Still risky, it will only depends on the project, if the project will deliver it's promised then much better.

but they cannot be sure that after the token begins to trade, the price will be high. but many people do not understand this

Yeah i think IEO now is a good way for a project to make money. Some of the the project is succesful in the IEO like Bittorren and Celer at Binance Launchpad. So far the IEO is very good and profitable for investors.

So far, we see good dynamics of the sales of tokens through the IEO. But after the first unsuccessful IEO, everything will change radically, since the memories of the ICO failures in 2018 are still fresh in people's memory.

Nothing worng with it,if people are allowed to make enoug fund through ICO then it is same with IEO as well but it doesn't change the potential of the new crypto projects if they are advertised through exchanges.
I hope people will completely avoid investing on the ew crypto projects if they are smart enough because once a new project made enough fund they just left investors with worthless tokens.

IEO is an evolution of crowdsales - one step forward to convenience. People want to invest money, buy tokens and be able to sell them as fast as they want - to get profit faster. IEO scheme is easier than ICO in this way.

Investing money in the IEO was very good and was done by many investors as I followed the IEO AirWallet that was taking place at ICDM Korea and at the end of April this listing in that market.

Yes  and I think everyone is already adopting to this so fast because we have complaining about the ICO market for a long time and how we have seen a lot of scammers in the space all in the name of ICO creating a project with lots of promises but end up not achieving anything because their main purpose was to scam investors and don't care about delivering any kind of value to them, though we might see scammers coming into the IEO space too.

Just switching from bitcointalk forum to crypto trading exchanges will not bring any changes to the attitudes of scammers and definitely they will try to continue their deeds by exploding the trading platforms. Hence, we must continue our due diligence and must avoid blindly investing into new coins.

Its a good model for all investors and teams but we have a problem too , because this will give exchanges more power than before which is not good listing to big exchanges will become very expensive again for projects which haven't done any IEO or ICO so haven't millions for listings ,what do you think about this?

With the way IEOs are coming up I am also beginning to think that ICOs may cease to exist, because a lot projects now go into IEO these days.

In the meantime, I think IEO projects are still quite reliable, so it will be good for us to take advantage of its reliability now in taking part in some good project the produce because IEO projects are verified and it will be quite difficult for these reliable exchanges to prove a project that will tarnish their images, so they will be very careful enough in promoting a project and be very sure the project is worth it, but my main fear is that, other not known exchanges are also planning to join in the quest and they might make it become rubbish like ICO.

Secondly, I don’t see IEO protecting project against being dumped by investors.

IEOs could be seen as a solution to some of ICO problem with the crucial problem bring fraud and scam. We can all attest to the fact that recent IEOs conducted went quite well. However, the downside is that, it relatively close to impossible to participate in some high rated projects.

The only issue here will be the exchanges that will be offering IEO Soon we are going to be seeing plenty exchanges incorporating those services and i will suggest we just stick to the relevant and most prominent ones on the ground Learn to stick with the ones you have some level of trust with

IEO is just another form of ico's but in this case they are being launched on exchanges the main difference being that for investors there is no doubt or uncertainty about when the project actually listings tokens on exchanges because this happens within weeks of its end and also there is much more clarity about the progress of the project going forward.

Unlike in the case of most  icos in the past where after the project has successfully reach their hard cap a lot of them have lockups for months before the project eventually released on a shit exchange. but in this case the listing on top exchange years is instant and guaranteed so investors are more likely to invest in IEO's than Ico

From another perspective it makes a lot of sense for the project because rather than spend millions of dollars on bounty and promotion campaigns they could easily spend that millions of dollars for a listing on the top exchange and be sure to meet their hard cap irrespective of how good their marketing is.

That is common sense I guess, people with logic will definitely only stick to th trusted exchanges than the shady ones even though the shady exchnages offer illogical benefit which makes it even more shady.

So far, IEOs were successful in 2019 and some of them were done for literally in 10 seconds. That shows
that there is still interest in investing but investors do not want to be scammed by ICOs  anymore.

The IEO aims to raise funds in a safer way than ICO. By following the IEO, investors will be safer because Exchanger has already sorted out, which projects are good and projects that are not good for IEO on their exchanger.

Indeed, its already guaranted will be listed in exchanger and mostly the price surge after start trade in market. Right now, IEO is more attractive and more profitable than ICOs and many investor trauma with ICOs condition in 2018

Things have changed and the crypto start up are going for IEO because they do not need to wait for their crowdsale to finish and can easily finish off their tokens on any exchange.IEO participants do not send contributions to a smart contract, such as governs an ICO. Instead, they have to create an account on the exchange’s platform where the IEO is conducted.Also generally people do not like to wait with their funds being unlocked unless they are being listed so it gives a bonus to investors.But none the less these are very risky affairs.

it becomes reasonable, as investors still fear if there is fraud in the doing of developers. but the IEO does not cover the possibility of cheating. because manipulation can still be performed by the Exchange. stay cautious, all possibilities are still very possible.

The only difference between IEOs and ICOs is the guarantee of instant listing on viable exchange like Bittrex, Binance and others. ICOs complain of the bad market in crypto and avoid being listed for months that have ran into years with IEOs listing is instant and guaranteed.

that true IEO become new model of ICO or fundrising, and the impact from big name of exchange make it success.
also IEO is safest way to invest, you won't need to worry if the coin will scam, it will be listed on their exchange after IEO finish.

The latest manipulation happened with bittrex IEO and it looks like a lot of people are feeling disappointed with it. When we can remove the possibility to be abused by scammer and the next problem has come from the exchange site itself.

I see the hype of IEO is quite huge nowadays, because the liquidity of the coin/token is certain. But I'm never be a fan of that kind of distribution because it's not as fair as PoW like Bitcoin or Litecoin.

Market makers always find a new different way to make money.

Very interesting on that count exchanges when IEO is carried out which ends in 1 second ???
In this kind of IEO involved some bots and scripts! Exchanges do not care about fair participation for all, if they do not fight it.
Money and so collected,even from one participant who came from multiple accounts.
People will realize that they are being deceived and will stop trying to participate.Let's see what the stock exchanges come up with.

I am agree, exchanger already put maximum investment but investor must be have others ways to collect more. Or perhaps the participants very huge and i think its normal because right now is IEO season. Many investor think IEO could bring quick profits and thats why most IEO end in just a second or minutes

Well, it may reduce the credible ones but those shady ones will not want to join IEO because of some rigorous verification and background check the project might be subjected to in order to prevent scam which is the major target of those shady ICO. despite the fact that IEO might reduce risk of scam, we also need to know that various exchange platforms that offer STO and are fully compliant with providing IEO also have their rules that guide prospective projects

To those who able to be lucky as participating is very tough, the tokens are completely sold out right away after the announcement, IEO got the eyes of investors, trying to take advantage and make a good used of their money while taking any chances while the business still profitable.

Personally, I do not see bad results from ieo but on the contrary, a lot of good. This is very good when the project mobilizes millions not in a month but in a matter of seconds and immediately enters the market while giving a profit to investors.

In the future, it is possible that the IEO trend will also be used by scammers and now it is still new and we are seeing it but in the future no one knows its development

The way it seems now, the system was built for whales, because it requires someone with large funds to be able to participate in their project, this is why they also placed a very big registration fee on it because they know that not many developers would be able to afford it, so their platform is only attracted to developers that are already big and can deem fit to pay their fees.

I just see a system built for selfish interest, because how does Binance expect me to commit so much money as high as about $1500 per project, for a project I am not sure of their success, This IEO may not really last long.

Of course, an IEO is a huge step forward compared to ICO, where investors are given much more guarantees. However, this type of tokensale appeared quite recently, which is why it is too early to draw conclusions about its effectiveness. I think it should take at least a year to see all the strengths and weaknesses of the IEO.

Any ICO that can meet up with the requirement of these exchanges is surely guaranteed of listing but I don’t think that is the Major difference between them, the idea behind IEO project of exchanges is to create an avenue that will verify projects before investors can invest in it, with these through verification being done strictly by these reputable exchanges.

This makes difficult for investors to fall into the hand of ICO scammers, so IEO strictly guarantees the security of investors as regard losing their investment, while anyone can just make use of ICO to raise fund without getting verified if the project team developers are real or not and if the project is worth raising fund for.

Indeed true and with high probability that these exchangers would really definitely have the chance to manipulate these things on their own just for the benefit of them.
This fundraising system is quite unique compared to ICO yet it do adds up security but it do have corresponding negative things that can be done which will still
lead on losing investors money.

The plain fact here is that IEO is far more reliable, secure and user friendly than ICO, but not without its shortcomings. However, I can see some exchanges addressing the issue in no time. One of the issues is few users/buyers scooping the whole tokens within seconds leaving the control of the token in the hands of a few whales. Aside from this and the issue of transparency on part of the exchanges, I think IEO is still the better alternative that we need right now.

Scammers will always find ways to get money from innocent's pocket, therefore IEO is not enough for security unless the strict to a rule for proper audit including team members and project idea. Not only that, the fund should be a lock for over a year, and only be spendable for development purpose with the proper audit. That way IEO might be useful.
I see another issue, scammers creating new exchange itself and opening IEO :D Therefore its bullshit.

I think that the IEO will be popular this year. IEO create a lot of activity among speculators. The popularity of an IEO will depend on how good projects appear and how much they can make a profit.

We can expect any changes in the market along with IEO leaving the ICO system which ruining the market before. It looks like this new system will contributed a lot of good things crypto space and giving positive insights in the incoming. We might be able that the liquidity of IEO conjoint project will have its transparency and can be profitable.

Scaming on ieo's is i think more worster than ico's because people can lost heir fund inside an exchange and they also lost their fund from investing in ieo projects  if ever the ieo that they have joined is scam  .  scammers are smart , they can create an exchange and fill that exchange with fake volumes   and fake trades    . this why we still need to choose trusted ieos that came from trusted exchanges   .  dont invest on newer one with new exchange until they dont get any reputation  .

The popularity of exchange site give a lot of contributions to the popularity of IEO itself. Look at how many exchange sites are creating their own IEO but there are only some of them get the best result from their IEO. Basically, exchange site's popularity is the main important thing that needs to be considered first.

People are still focused on whether tokens will be listed on exchanges and not asking if a token has an actual use case. Who cares how many exchanges a token is listed on if it has no use? In the end, investors will get burned. To me, it doesn't matter whether an offering is called an ICO, IEO, or STO - the question will always be is there a use case?

As from my point of view, this is a great model that is becoming more and more popular. However, what I see is that nowadays there are still many great projects with advanced and technological ideas that show great results and that are valuable. For example, Mindsync, anyone heard of them? Also curious to hear your thoughts on that

from the summer it was obvious that ICO dies and soon there will be a direct purchase from exchanges.
I see this is a good thing, as ICOs that makes IEO ;D guaranteed will have a listing at an exchange. We (investors) need it

IEO will give  us more certainity we could sell it if we need money to invest in another projects.different with ICO , we need wait more time till token listed in market , maybe it could take time more than one month after ico finish.

Multivac the ieo on kucoin has seen alright outcome so far
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/multivac same for https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bilaxy-token on bilaxy
Both are recent

It seems that IEO is going to be very popular now, i think it is much faster then ICO, but the question is - is it safer? Not sure. For me it is some sort of gambling. As usually nobody can guarantee any profits.

Actually, IEOs have been around for a long time.
Binance, for example, has had them from the beginning.
So its nothing new.

Honestly, I see IEOs as only a tiny improvement.
In the end, a bear market is a bear market and if there's no new money coming in, and low trade volume, then IEOs won't change much.

Also, you need to really question the logic of a company that tries to start a new business in these conditions.
Especially if that project is similar to already existing projects.
Smart developers and ceos would launch at more opportune times.
A new business being hasty is never a good sign.

for convenience I think it is more comfortable than the ICO, but in terms of security or protection it all depends on the exchange that holds the IEO. where now the popular one is probably only done by the Binance exchange. and now another exchange starts doing it. but on a system basis I think the IEO is indeed more comfortable and faster.

maybe IEO system can be the best option due to many scam ICO project nowadays, but personally i think IEO still not save because not transparancy of their fund raised.

That is because, we are now pertaining to a project backed up already by an existing project that has established reputation in the market. Through that, the risk that investors will going to take will be lessened as it was already handled by exchanges such as binance, bittrex, and etc. In fact, even I don't start investing on IEO's I have a good feeling that it will going to be effective. Sooner or later I might try.

IEO is now spreading very quickly throughout the entire cryptocurrency sphere, and many companies prefer to choose IEO between ICO and STO, and how we see that many companies make the right choice and become successful with IEO.

ieo maybe safer than ico's because we can easily choose on who is legit and who is not but the chance of loosing is still be there because every investment is risky . ieo owners can dump thier project same as what he had on crypto but the chance of earning is also high because ieo's are slowly getting momentum  .


no they didnt  . ico didnt totally die because if we can see there are still ico bounties on this forum and on other websites as well   . ico will even more try harder to be able to attract investors because they are now threatened  by a ieo's  .

I also believe in IEO, and think that today ICO should have an ieo to be a successful token sale and for better price later.

With ICO getting less popularity due to lack of investment security, IEO is taking over. Its history is just the beginning, it has got much popularity. And it is happening for a good cause I think. It has many good features which are attracting investors. One of the main concerns of investors is investment security. IEO to its maximum level gives investment security and ensures listing of projects on exchanges.

Yes, I am fed up with ICO now, almost all of them have not succeeded in the exchange market, they dropped the price so deeply that my capital did not return from the ICO project. I hope the IEO is a big success from the ICO.

ICO was success in the previous years because it was a new "thing" and it offers investors to invest in a start up company without too much paper work involve, But this also opens doors to serial scammers that creates a bad image for ICO market

You are right, the emergence of many false projects, fraud, led to the fact that the ICO is dying, investors losing money have lost confidence. And it is replaced by IEO and STO. This is a natural result of evolution.IEO is more attractive to investors, as the marketplace puts its reputation on the line, and thus increases investor confidence in the project.

It is not about the form, no matter if it is ICO, IEO or STO. People lose their patient and they are not more interested in investing in something what only promises without delivering the real solution. So many scams made this industry dead.  :'(

You can't trust this new scheme. Yes now it shows very good results but it will not last forever. Now enterprising people will understand all the nuances and will sell wrappers that will lose their prices immediately after purchase at IEO. So I advise you not to be greedy and constantly follow the news.

the use with customs helps as the release of token on returns to gives with chance on field as owners to manage with use on modest as segregated to follows with returns of work from different developer and collects on decision as expending use with spares on possession of resource with the authorization.

IEO is a profitable business for our world, but I think that cryptocurrency will still generally have a good benefit only in order to raise funds. I hope that the scammers still will not find opportunities for normal life and they will not continue to deceive people.

The IEO is still new and there is still much debate about the IEO, especially regarding transparency that is not so clear because in seconds sales can be completed and sold out

Not at all and have you seen how most of IEO that run on the binance? The only problem that investors are looking for fast profit and it can't be got easily. Beside of the scam and short term players will become the next problem.

I think in IEO hidden their problems. They are that you can buy absolutely unpromising coin with which it will be impossible to work in the future. Yes, it is the best tool for speculation. But IEO does not improve the blockchain system but makes the community speculate a lot and do not pay attention to more important details of the market and industry.

It's progressing. But in this case, we see how the ICO market ends its life. Since ICO is not believed now. IEO saves investors but does not improve the product.

As long as the IEO is conducted on a popular exchange then it could be safe for investors but recently I found some new exchanges offering the same service which is not recommended since they are not known in crypto space.

IEO's is much more worthless then ICO's on a smart contracts basis. It is a step down in the technology development. Greedy exchanges just want more money to their hands.

Just today it is a new trend and all exchanges are trying to repeat this success,because it attracts investors.
Perhaps when the IEO is held on a well-known major exchange - it is safe,but does not guarantee the success of the coin. Recently, the VBK coin demonstrated this on the Bittrex exchange.

IEO has the hype. You can't say that IEO is more secure because crypto ain't regulated, are you sure that all investors who'd buy on IEO are insured with their investments? What if it's a sh*tcoin who's just riding the hype? It's a brand new name for ICO but has the same sh*t inside.


I strongly agree!!!

May I ask you a question? Who are the Investors? Are we strictly looking at those that have big money to invest as investors? You and I are also investors but how many of those IEO project can you say you have successfully participated in during and after ICO, I bet none, so who are then the IEO projects for? For the exchanges or the whales?

The IEO concept is a very good and promising one, but personal interest that has been put ahead of other people’s interest will make the ICO have negative reputations, because the only good news I hear about IEO is that they get sold out, but I have not heard of any ordinary investor hear successfully invest in the projects.

IEO under Binance is quite very effective and I don’t doubt its future effectiveness under Binance, I cannot say much about other exchanges IEO, a copy version can never be as real as the original, I know we should not create a monopolized system.

So, if I say only Binance IEO should be recognized would be unreasonable, but it has to be limited to few top and reliable exchanges, I wish these exchanges can also be under a control too to out their activities to check, but it will be possible to do so under this decentralized system, so IEO to me will be more effective than ICO if done under these reliable exchanges, otherwise, IEO will end up being exactly like ICO.

In 2018, more than 67% of investment in ICO failed. That is why this form is no longer attractive to investors. Therefore, the IEO was born with many new forms, attracting many investors to make them safer.IEO is becoming the new trend of this year because it is very prestigious and always selects good projects for the investors.

What if there an instance of a big whale just scoop up the entire MuiltiVac? It was very easy if the advertisement and marketing is really good, there is no reason for us doubt the project and in that case, it can somehow increase the reputation that IEOs has just started. More partnerships to come, I will going to look further on this.

Many people now perceive IEO as a new kind of ICO,but the reality is that not everyone can participate in this.
Here, the main income are the major players,the people who use scripts.
When investors ' interest in IEO starts to disappear,then exchanges will start to struggle with algorithms and make participation more transparent for everyone.

I think that IEO is capable of addressing majority of the issues that were there is case of ICO. Scams have been on the peak when it was ICOs time and I think that is the reason why would people not pay attention but surprisingly people are paying attention. You need to check out the success of the IEOs held so far. Binance Launchpad has been a huge success so far. No place for scams and instant token selling. You should check it out.

Its just a added a new flavor in doing ICO projects.,

Only Binance Launchpads has strict guidelines before anyone can participate and buy in an IEO projects.,

Yes it is and the reason for this is to reduce scams which might be achieved if more improvement is done. At least now before a project is listed for IEO or plans to conduct IEO the exchange will verify them to ensure they are reliable and trustworthy.

Most ICOs these days do not masks much sakes as IEOs do. This is why project that were formerly running ICO now result into going for the fast means of sales, which is IEO.

I am not surprised that IEO is succeeding now and investors are fast opting for it, because through it, they can quickly make their profits. Past IEO models have proven to be effective.

Hope all exchange will do that and not  only after the money, we can't removed the fact that developers also knows that taking the risk of funding the IEO can bring more investors money to flow around the exchange chances that also scammer can make it's way to penetrate and deceived the people by all means including IEO's.

I am not in support of this new model, Exchanges are becoming too powerful in the space that is suppose to be decentralised and people seems to be getting carried away because of greed, there is no way to be sure these exchanges are not selling these tokens to themselves. Before you can trace the funds on blockchain to see the amount of tokens being sold, but now just believe their words

As an investor both ICO and IEO must be taken care very carefully on current conditions. As we know many scam projects around we need to do very good research before choosing any type of new investments. For myself I think i will not invest any normal ICO or IEO because current market condition i can find many other half developed project undervalued and promising to invest :)

What are You talking about?Show me at least one coin holder who bought tokens during the IEO,was disappointed with his investment?For the time being suspected of collusion or fraud exchange is not appropriate.

That will only work for the exchanges that have a reputation to lose, there are many exchanges that have a very bad reputation around the forum that are still operating and we know they selectively scam their customers, so if such an exchange promises that the project that is going to be traded in their platform is good you cannot really assume it is true because the seal of approval that comes from a scammer has no value at all.

For a long time, a crypto community will select the optimal fundraising model, and only by trial and error will we determine the most reasonable and safer way. IEO has not yet been verified by time, and possible manipulations have not been studied. Time will tell.
