My understanding for IEOs is basically instead of project handling raising funds etc. It will be for an exchange to do so.

An IEO hosted by Yobit or Binance can clearly not be compared. In other words, the exchange gives more credibility to the project regardless of whether it's worth it or not.

Am I the only one who thinks this is actually a bad thing and make people focus on the exchange hosting rather than the actual project and what the team is offering etc.?

For me whether IEO or ICO both can give profit to anyone here in the forum. Their difference only was that in ICO there is a high chances that the scammer can make a victim in it, unlike in IEO is not, due to it is already in the exchange. Now the impression would depend in the community as well here.

you are very right with the opinion. Aside that, if there is any form of hack on the exchange then the ICO funds is lost too. and exchanges will be the determinant for any successful project, what if an exchange rejects a project unfairly, other exchanges will do too and in essence they be the decision makers

Yes you are right ,exchanges differs but I've seen not too popular exchanges completing IEO funds raising in a day ,kucoin for example ,IEO is plain better and more secured

Personally I don't see it as a bad idea but I am thinking it will be easier to scam people with IEO because many people can easily trust IEO these day than ICO.

We can't deny the fact that there will be always scam projects no matter what. IEO for me is better than ICO in terms of rasing tokens as it requires a partnership between the exchange and project owner. This means that when a project turns out to be a scam, the reputation of an exchange would be affected and any exchange owner won't let that happen. Therefore, through IEO the number victim of scam projects can/could be lessen.

It is a good only because you can be sure that which exchange host IEO will also list the token after the sale.
That means IEO on exchange without volume doesn´t bring any attention due to low popularity.

I don't think IEOs are bad at all, actually they are good just that investors should be careful in the project that they invest into. Most people are attracted by the hype and the sales of the project and not the real use case behind the project and most of the projects that do IEOs get dumped easily.

One question. And what if the swap is deceived. Will the project pay compensation. And reputation? There are statistics how many such projects have already entered the market? Here it is interesting to me just to see what is the difference between successful projects and ICO.

I can't say IEO is bad. Because I benefit from every IEO. Everyone must have different thoughts and perspectives on the IEO. For me, as long as IEO benefits personally, of course I will continue to support it and I cannot say IEO is bad.

In some point your statement is true, we can't categorized the project but we are focusing to what exchange who's offering the IEO, the essence of knowing how the project will be usable in the long run is not the priority but to engaged with binance launchpad for example is the first in mind of the
investors who wanted to take the chance.

Don't worry these are just temporary people will realize it is just a strategy to make more funds.But it doesn't necessarily means all the projects through IEOs were bad.

When someone want to invest on new projects they need to do enough research rather than trusting an exchange.

I think that if the exchange uses IEO to increase its presence in the market and at the same time does not guarantee the safety of bubbles and does not care about its customers, then this is a very bad undertaking.

A normal project will not go to Yobit, if the project has the potential, he will try to negotiate with a good exchange for IEO. For Binance reputation is important, so they carefully choose projects.

I have think along this view and I think the future is going to actually reveal what is going to happen in  IEO's market and I think it is going to still be the way it was during ico's projects.  The only thing that will make the projects stand out is how good there are and if there are existing products.

I don't think IEOs are bad, but i think people always should try do some research and only invest after, and i think maybe is safer to invest on IEOs than on ICOs, but always invest only money that afford to lose because maybe a project can bring a fast profit and can take some years.

Ieos are not bad
Either you conduct your ieos on binance or bittrex; once you offer nothing unique it won’t be patronized
Look up ocean protocol ieo on bittrex

It is not yet sold out where as other ieos were wrapped up in seconds
As an investor; always go for value

For me too I don't think IEO is bad unless we see bad works from that. But for me because we earn from IEO I will not stop to invest to the way that I earn profit. I will continue to support because as of now the reputation of IEO is good compared to ICO right? But it depends to the individual what they think about IEO.

I don't now what to say, I'm starting to get confused just after reading this thread. I was thinking that IEO is good to avoid scam project and to ensure that the project's token is listed on exchanges. But you are also right, this could be a bad thing later, when investors pay more attention to the exchange's credibility rather than the project itself. However, most of investors only care about the profit so they won't complaint anything regarding the project.

You have a good point. Everyone thinks that they will be successful by mentioning IEOs who are successful in binance (they also provide profit for a short time, then the price falls). Already in this case the price increase without innovation is just hype.

Of course, placement on the exchange helps to raise more funds than the usual ICO, but it still does not give any guarantees that the project will be successful. you can simply take into account on the listing, but if the listing is on an unknown exchange, then there is no point in this. it's important to understand

With IEO the chance of an investment going worthless has got very small possibilities, because lot of users have invested on projects that never gets listed to any of the exchanges even after waiting for much longer time period. Through IEO within few days after the launch can find the token for trading on the same exchange which is truly good.

In my opinion, I don't see anything wrong with IEOs. The principle and ideology behind IEO's operate similar like the escrow system or like the smart contract protocol. The exchange platform acts as the middle man or medium between the crypto project team and investors contributing to help support the project. When the project looks to be a potential scam project, the exchange platform will be able to freeze the funds raised and redistribute them back to the investors who contributed during the IEO.

That was I'm thinking too many investors are just focus on how they can earn money on IEO or ICO, they didn't look at the project and give some time make a research if thats project was good or not they are just blind on how much income they will have in the end of the day, people just want to have a money and go in the hype and nothing else for them profit is profit.

It is pretty obvious that investors will just be focusing of what they'll probably be profiting but not to look for the success for that certain project.
We know ICO how it make crypto image ruins of having a lot of fake projects and yet, we can't justify how IEO works in the coming days, whether it can be the same of ICO or it could be more safe than of previous system. 

In IEO the important thing that must be considered by them all is exchange site's hype. If that was listed on the exchange site and exchange site itself has created verification to that ico. But the hype from exchange site itself will determine does it worth a lot after listed and traded or not.

nobody says IEO is bad. and you know everyone thinks the IEO is a new hope for investment in crypto. maybe there are some people who think the IEO will eventually suffer the same as ICO. but at least we can still trust the exchange that does the IEO. there are many quality exchanges providing IEO services such as Binance, Bittrex and others. we can trust an exchange like that.

IEO is not bad, because the IEO is a new hope for projects that want to find development funds. ICO is dead, and many think the new project will no longer be accepted. but with the IEO many investors have returned to believe in new projects. and I'm very happy with this, maybe the impact hasn't been felt. but for the long term this will greatly impact the price increase in the market

I still believe that there are still many good projects that will give everyone involved in it to make a profit without even having to provide proof that their coin has been registered or the project is running, I will continue to do this, not leave because I have not found a project registered and tradable

Good or bad quality of the IEO, depending on which exchanger is running it, a good project will choose good exchanger to boost their token sale.  ;D

They are neither good nor bad necessarily. Just because a token is listed on an exchange does not mean it's automatically worthy. The market has matured beyond the point of ranking tokens according to the exchanges that list then. Far more important are use cases and actual software development.

IEO are not bad in the sense that it helps it the legitimacy of the project developers.. but bad in the sense that it gives to much power to exchanges like binance.  Which are now trying to pose a crypto monopoly

I don't think the IEO or Initial Exchange Offering is bad, even I think now many are investing in the IEO compared to the ICO (Intial Coin Offering), because in ICO many projects are scam, some even run away with investor funds.

You are saying the obvious truth. Why will someone even invest in an IEO on Yobit in the first place. Exchange matters when one wants to invest in IEO because there are some exchanges that lack credibility and project on exchanges like that will receive lesser support and interest from cryptocurrency community.

Though one big consideration is the reputation of the exchange itself, still investors should look into the feasibility of the project. But many people are now blindly investing in some projects. They are looking more on the hype surrounding the project rather than the technology that it will deliver afterwards. After all, most of them are just for fast return of their investments. They are not worried about the deliverables of the project.

IEOs are not bad but the reason why i think it's getting this name tag is because of how most people are losing money due to the recent ones being launched on Binance and some other exchange sites. Investors should not only be interested in pumps and dumps but should look at the project very carefully before investing into these IEOs that are being launched recently.

I think not, investors are not that stupid, just follow the IEO just because it is held in a well-known exchange, of course investors will also conduct prior research about the projects to be followed

I think it can't be considered as bad thing. I mean, those exchanger must not stake their reputation for project that not good and only make investors lose. But actually this hype already influence people, that is why some IEO can be done and sold in a minute only.

A lot of projects are going for IEO now. Easy access to funds without seemingly tedious regulations. Obviously it has now become a norm for most projects. Nevertheless, ICOs are still active . The major advantage of IEO is that the token gets listed on the exchange that it holds the fund raising. Apart from that, it's a sure way if raising funds. On the long run, it will have implications on the exchange and crypto world. If the exchange gets hacked, that's becomes a bigger problem.

Yeah, IEO will be depends on the exchange who holding it. The more reliable the exchange, the more can be trusted the IEO will.
No, IEO is actually not a bad thing to project. Holding IEO for your project can guarantee the listing on that exchange, so every
investors of the project know they will be able to trade their coin after IEO on that exchange.

Do you think the scammer or hacker can't able to enter in the IEO? as far as I know, all things are possible to any scammer, as long as they smell money in it, they will do everything surely to get it. But whether good or bad the decision will always depend on the community here in the forum.

IEO isn't bad, but the road is too excessive. Remember this could be a new way for scammers to commit fraud. we still have to be vigilant and don't trust too much even if it's in a big exchange though.
IEO is a hype investment lately but it is difficult to invest there because the duration is quite short, if you want to buy better, just wait when the token can be opened in the trade.

I also hope that the IEO will now tackle scammers but I am sure the IEO in the big exchange will become big investors to rise again.

Yes, it is.


It can actually add credibility to the project since some exchange don't just accept listing, which can reduce the probability of scam or shitty projects for raising funds using their platform since the platforms credibility will be involved if a project is scam.


This could possibly happen, so everything will actually depend on whether a platform is really doing their part on reviewing IEO projects credibility or not. Let's just hope that IEO will change how most investors view ICOs(scam).

Iosos don't make any difference. The only difference here is the exchanges behind the ieo. We invest without knowing their teams.

IEOs are not totally bad for investors because they can be sure the project will eventually get listed but project wise it is bad because most investor will have to rely on the crediblity of the exchange hosting the IEO.

IEO is good itself, at least it's safer choice than ICO. Buying an IEO, you don't have to face with the fear of holding a bunch of worthless tokens. However, some recent IEOs showed less hype on this trend. One must very careful to choose a right project on a right exchange if he doesn't want to get loss.

No, they are not bad unless you join an ieo on a scammy exchange.

Ieo means ico on exchange. Not a huge difference just a middleman.

Based on which on IEO you have joined, maybe many IEO listed on bad exchange like Yobit maybe better for left it and never for joining because is not good for participating and better joined on Binance IEO.

you are right. IEO is the newest form of ICO, but IEO has far more advantages. but, it all depends on the project being undertaken, and also the market where the IEO is taking place. hence from that research is very necessary.

yep you are right because when scam exchange like Yobit would make exchange then don't think anyone invest there, its a good way of raining money but makes exchanges much more powerful than before so projects which hasn't ICO and IEO becomes much more difficult list to big exchanges like Binance so it will become problem for projects and users.

Many people into cryptocurrency right now are in it for the money and not the technology behind it or its use case. They just want a coin listed so they can sell off for high profits. IEOs give them this opportunity to do so. But the buzz around it will still die down after a while just like when ICOs became popular in 2017/2018

I didin't understand ioe's situation, when they launch getting hype in short term  than coming down dip long term. Binance choices are not goog when we look the project , i think the demand will decrease.

I think its better to try something new, something innovative that can give us more trust in the project. Because ICO are some kind of dead to some crypto enthusiast since most of their projects are unsuccessful and the worst is a scam.

IEO in big exchange site looks manipulated by the exchange site itself. ICO must provide its KYC to the exchange before they can list their ico to that launchpad and that can prevent scammers.
the fact that it looks like more healthy compared with independent ico.

For people, IEO now makes more profit than ICO.  However, not everyone has time to earn, and someone just remains in the red with their tokens.  It seems to me that IEO is only a temporary phenomenon.

I think your opinion is correct and we need to discuss this.
I see that the IEO is becoming a new trend and most of the projects that I follow and have ended up doing IEOs in some exchanges.
which needs to be prioritized as you say.
but according to sources that I read, one of the positive side makes investors more flexible and trustworthy than investing in ico.

Well the thing about the people focus on the exchange hosting rather than the project is true, but that's not wrong either. It is like when you have more trust on the project that are endorsed or suggested by experts, you actually focus on the experts rather than the project. But in this case, the expert is the exchanges.

Hey,

IEOs aren't bad per se. There's good and bad.

The good:
- It can help legitimate projects get funding and more awareness. It brings more token holders at day 0 than if you get funded with VCs that don't care about the project and don't bring much besides money.

The bad:
- Greed-fueled, investors don't even know about the projects and are just looking to flip. This is not how you build something lasting.

Too many people picked up this trend and too many projects began to spill over to the market.  It will definitely not bring to the good.  Everything will end in a scenario, as with ico projects.

they are not bad.
but they are not for long invest. sell it when you see 3x in exchanges. after a while price came lower of ieo's price. no mean to participate ieo.

IEO is not a bad thing but rather a good thing to the Crypto community, until now we had no choice but to commit our funds and trust to companies we never know about hoping that we are going to make a lot of profit in return when it hits the exchange but the reverse has always been the case, seeing the coin being traded on the exchange, but when this crowdfunding is conducted by popular exchanges you already know, then you will gladly invest your money not based on your trust for the problem

The 3 things you mentioned must follow each other; they are interwoven and should be applied during decision making.
It matters to know the exchange the project is listing on, the project itself matters and the team matters. We understand that the exchanges are already using their own discretion to credit and discredit projects based on the quality of the project.

It is still not enough to base our judgment on other’s opinion as we all have different ways of viewing things; we also need to still research of the project and the team even if exchanges have guaranteed us of security with them. We should see it as if exchanges have only help us shortlist the project for us to pick the best from through further research.

There are good IEO's out there but some are not good but YANU is good IEO a potential coin that finished ICO successfully and now making an IEO to give chance to investors to make investments on yanu  you can check it here Yanu Initial Exchange Offering has been launched! 💯
Get some while it's still cheap!
Visit https://exmarkets.com/launchpad

Key things to know:
- Earn additional rewards with Candybox campaign
- Yanu will be buying back 2% revenue worth of tokens
- Pay for dinks (or Yanu robot) in tokens and get a substantial discount
- You can always use Yanu tokens to buy drinks at least with the initial price ($0.1)
- Current circulating supply is only $1.1 million giving the token a lot of positive upside potential.

IEO is the fastest way for the most projects to get listed on famous exchanges and get some kind of community. With ICO model of fundraising this process could take years, so IEO is not so bad for the project itself.

IEO is worse than ICO, reason being that it is only the exchanges that are making money now, exchanges will raise funds, sell these tokens to themselves and start trading at 10X the IEO price and gullible people will start buying the top, look at BTT and FET tokens on Binance they are both great examples. The way the space is going exchanges are becoming to strong and need to be checked before it goes out of hand

The hype was not artificially created, people based their involvement in these IEO project because of the wonderful record the initiator has had over the past few years and their effort to make the crypto space a conducive one for users, which the credit goes to binance, other exchanges coming up with their own hype are just hiding under Binance legacy.

So even in participating in these IEO exchanges, whether they stake their reputation or not, we still have to DYOR in participating, not every IEO we see will succeed, most especially the one done through exchanges that are not reputable.

It seems to me that the examples you brought are units from 20 projects that brought some profit, but ordinary people could not participate in these projects. I tried to buy coins with 5 accounts on binance but I did not succeed

In my opinion IEOs are bad.
IEOs are new ICOs, so in the 99.9% of the cases, useless.
IEOs will make a lot of angry and sad investors and a lot of money for exchanges and projects. This is a fast way to squeeze money out of people and to make tehm run from the ecosystem once they're REKT.
IEOs are also a good publicity pro exchanges based on their ROI, maybe also pumped from them, but a publicity and a game that will not last long.

many people like ieo's. mostly of them writing about profits they have after start tradig after ieo. atleast token have exchage after tokensale.

I think some IEOs are pretty bad, and also I've never bought any IEO at this time.
currently the IEO is only used as a pump and dump coin.

I am very glad that people began to understand this. but not all projects. Now there are projects that are forced to collect money for IEO simply because now it is possible

I see bittrex wants to launch another project called Ocean.
I don't know if that project is good or not but if I take a look at the price and the short explanation in bittrex, I think that project is one of the good projects but I still need to find more info related to the project.
If you want to buy on IEO sale, then you need to know the most information about the project and don't use big money to buy because of it still hard to predict how much profit you will make later.

yeah that the fact
IEO just hosting like normal ICO , the different it just hosting by exchange and will be listed after IEO end
another just same

Indeed will agree on your point because many exchange will take this opportunity to scam investors on their hard earned money. Have be following some IEOs recently and found out that within some few minutes the tokens will be off limit, even in most of the reputable exchanges. Not yet convince that the operation of IEOs have a clear intention, lets wait for some time to know if they are BAD.

Not only compared by the exchange, a project seen from its seriousness is from their attempt to list on the big exchange like (Binance,Huobi or Etc.)
If they're serious making project and try to list on the bad exchange, their efforts will be in vain.

IEO has the power to control dump as investors and bounty hunters dont waste a lot of time for the wait as token already in exchange and what we only wait is to rise of the price of tokens,It has more power than ICO now as investors loss a trust ln ico as they losses a lot of money and investments on year 2018 and now IEO gains trust especially on investors so investors if you are looking for a good IEO Look for yanu and you won't regret on investing on that particular project.

its okay if people just focus on exchange hosting not on ico project it self , before IEO hosting by exchange i'm pretty sure the exchange choose which best project and make audit before launch on their exchange

You are not the only one with that reasoning cos I have also thought about it for a while now. This IEO only makes people focus on exchange and not actually on what the project and team has to offer. All that matters is which exchange the IEO is handled and that's not too cool.

After losing patience with ICO's, yes it's correct to assume that the attentions of investors are now in this new way of market, participating
with IEO's projects make it simple and quicker, exchange will allow you to buy and wait for the results after some minutes or hours then
you are free to sell it out when its available for trading.

I do not think that IOO projects are bad. In any case, this is a temporary solution for a very bad situation with ICO projects. Fundraising and distribution of new tokens through the exchanges so far give good results in terms of improving the security of investments for investors. This is still the main question to ensure that this activity does not cease to exist. In the future, in any case, the situation will change.

The IEO process, which also has the shape of an ICO process, but for the time being I cannot say that there is clearly a big difference, so I can also assume that there are any opportunities to invest may not be crowned well.

I also think that new coins are growing in price not because of the prospects of the project itself, but because the exchange itself artificially creates an increase in the price of these coins. That is why many people do not care what a project is and they don’t even read information about it.
However, for those whose goal is to get a quick profit, this is a good investment option.

I agree with you and think that the real value of an ICO does not matter anymore. If an awesome project will hold an IEO on Yobit, it will not collect a third of those funds that a fraud project on Binance or Huobi will.

what i know IEO is the solution to ICO, where ico is already bad in the eyes of investor , because the IEO project is a project that has been filtered in terms of quality by a large market, besides it, advantages of the IEO we don't need to wait for the market anymore, after the IEO project is finished we can sell on the market directly

For bad I haven't seen it, but maybe some IEOs are certainly bad, for example the IEO held by  launchpad that is not good enough / famous exchange but has a bad volume of trades in altcoin could have an impact on IEO project

I don't think IEO's are so bad. That's a good chance to launch a project in a weak market. In my opinion the main thing is that the exchanges do not let out a scam.

The current IEO is the best way for investors because currently many ICOs are failing, and investors are losing money. But the lack of IEO is not possible for long-term investment because after the altcoin from the IEO is launched prices will rise high and prices of dumps. and investor immediately left the altcoin. And the altcoin could have died because it had been abandoned by investors

I don't really follow the IEO but there is a possibility that the IEO has a slight adverse effect because some IEOs are sometimes very fast to get ROI, but the problem is that after that what happens is just a dump, and maybe bad luck for those who buy when they reach ATH

I think IEOs are quite better than icos in a sense that in ieos, the investors get their tokens on a well known exchange and further more,  they get listed in due time unlike in icos which can take more than 6 months before listing their coins on a shit exchange :D and more than a year to get a better exchange to list on.

Where u do your IEO determines the outcome of it and for now, we all know that ieos done on Binance are the best and most investors who get the chance to buy the coins are happy.

For me, I think an IEO is by far better than an ICO

Actually I do not see a substantial improvement in the business model promoted by the ICOs, because in essence they are the same than before and the only thing they have modified is the means of financing. While they do not make a real effort to promote really innovative and useful projects there will be very little credibility in this type of business, which until now have only meant a source of wealth for developers, but not for investors.

They are good when it comes to providing liquidity for projects, especially the lesser known ones. The ICO scene is pretty much still close to being dead, so IEOs give the smaller projects a much higher chance of being funded as well.

Till this point, they are no known controversies about IEO projects for now. And I really hope it is been kept that way, since it is safe for all. Don't allow his scammers to come pollute IEO projects because, right now they are already setting up strategies to scam people of their hard earned money.

i think ieo is very good at least from icos.
at least low risk than icos now a days.buy from an exchange and trade in similiar exchage thats really great !and i can see big project is going for ieo.

Initial Exchange Offerings are not bad but because most of the projects that performed IEOs have either come to a stamd still or its token has reduced siggnificantly. This is why many crypto enthusiasts are raising claims that IEOs are bad.

I am agree, IEOs are not bad because exchanger already make research about the project prospect and make research about developers team. But its better to choose IEOs from big and reputable exchanger because big exchanger wont put their reputation on bad project

IEO on big exchanges is the dream of many ICO projects that are on this market but to do that, the project will have to go through the testing process from their team. This is a huge obstacle and that helps us stay away from scam projects. I think the IEO is being considered a very interesting investment channel and if you are lucky, the profitability of 200% -300% is only a matter of time because the demand for investment in IEO is increasing and everyone wants to earn high profits

I disagree with you. Just because a project is on Binance means nothing, except that it will be launched on one of the top exchanges. In fact, I don't like the due diligence process of Binance. The result is a project (I won't name) which they recently did an IEO, but it has nothing to show. The team was probably sharing some made up facts to Binance based on which they picked the project. This is from first-hand experience. I am with Farm2Kitchen, we are doing an IEO on ProBit. Our application is still pending on Binance. We were planning an ICO in Nov 2018, but we pulled out of it because of the bad market and instead we went to development with the seed funds and build a Marketplace that we launched last month. We build an app which is in Beta on Android. So we just did not quit because the ICO was pulled off, we carried on with the plans with whatever limited resources we had. Now we have a MVP to showcase and we are proud of the progress we have done with the resources. We are top rated on ICO Bench and ICO Marks (which to me does carry weight because of the due diligence they do). We are looking forward to a successful IEO so we can use the funds to develop the Blockchain network for traceability and market the platform across our primary market. So trust me my friend, not all IEOs are bad and being on Binance is not a validation.

IEO are not totally bad, I said so because investors might face some hiccups on some IEO offering. But so far I see it as a more better option than the ICO so I suggest you look at the positive side of the IEO which I believe is more than the negative

I think the IEO is the best fundraising method for now because when you saw some time ago you had a fundraising method using ICO and now there are many cases of ICO being used for fraud places so I think the IEO is now better.

Indeed, in the middle many scam ICOs, IEOs could be an alternative. IEOs give certainity for investor on the token get listed in exchanger. But i am agree we should not compare between IEO held by Yobit and IEO held binance because the different very huge.

Well, you've got a point that the main thing that the investors are looking at is the host of the exchange. But if the host of the exchange is clearly known, the project will probably boom and they are obligated to bring the best of the token because if not, investors on their exchange might stop using their exchange.

It is obviously clear that the IEO platform is fully prepared and created for the whales looking for weak investors to devour, is that how good the economy is? That a lot of people will just rush and buy what takes months in ICO to finish in minutes. I am really not comfortable with this arrangement.

People who are buying these IEO projects are buying in large quantity and it is the weaker investors that I really pity for, when they start their manipulation, they will dump the price on the market so had that majority of the smaller investors that got lucky to be fast enough in holding some of the coins will end up being a bag holder.

I understand that the exchange get money for conducting an IEO but you should not forget that there are some exchanges who have previously stopped IEOs despite the fact that they were getting paid. Bittrex stopped conducting IEO for RAID project because they got their contract cancelled with the e-gaming company and the project without the contract was zero that’s why the IEO was cancelled.

It is also not possible to improve the credibility of this exchange because another project, VBK is having a very bad price and many people have experienced a huge loss when participating in this IEO. Most recently, Ocean and currently not sold out making Bittrex a joke. I think Bittrex legal compliance in Europe is the main reason for the recent failure of this exchange. If you want invest, choose a better exchange because Bittrex this year really makes me feel bad

IEOS are another form of ico with name Ieos and Icos both are one and the same in fundraising there is no negativity for Ieos either and more secured than Icos

I no longer believe in the possibility of real breakthroughs in ICO sphere, the ICO market is pretty much dead already.  IEO is almost the only way to make money.

You need to be careful now because the popularity of this type of prodjaji coins can go on decreasing, which ultimately will lead to financial losses.

Right, always being vigilant and making research is important if we want to put money into any investment including the IEO, I'm afraid because some IEOs are successful then scammers will make the same thing as ICO.

I have observed a number of IEO cases that are currently being trending topics in several exchange places and I see that this method can have a good influence on fundraising it will be easy to reach the target they want.

if the project developers are smart enough im sure they will go to a exchange with credibility, if the intention of developers is to scam people they will go to exchange like yobit.

Exchange play vital role in IEO if exchange is like Binance then IEO will succeed and the token/coin price will not dump but it is small or not famous exchange then IEO will totally flop.

Depending on the IEO that you invested it would be nice if it did not work for the project it is believed that the investors have proved to be the same as Yanu.io one in projects that have completed the ICO and now have IEO and its programs now the price is low so it's time to invest, and if it's not so sure there's a lot to look at their website and make a study here, yanu is a good project that we should invest to make sure that you earn.

I do not think ieos are bad; it helps the project get the funding as required
By just as ico can be manipulated

Same can happen to ieos; it’s a decentralized world remember

If we decide to invest in IEOs, its better choosing from reputable exchanger because its more legit. I think IEOs are legit because exchanger must be doing research first before make announcement. They wont put their reputation on risk.

I am better waiting when token from IEO listed in the market. Mostly after listed in exchanger, the price always rising and after few days, the price back to IEO price. Its better to be patient because i think its because many FOMO about the project

Comparing between yobit and binance is not apple to apple. Binance have a reputation as big exchanger in market and most crypto investor trust on binance. Its different and IEOs held by binance must be trusted.
I dont think IEOs are bad because its already administered by exchanger and its more easier for investor.

Many exchanges such as Latoken, Coineal, Bittrex don't have the best censorship when many bad projects are sold IEO in these exchanges. If you want to invest in a good IEO project, you should choose reputable exchanges like Binance, Okex, Huobi because these are 3 exchanges that can make you a huge profit if you can be lucky to participate too. Of course there will still be risks but choosing a good exchange is a top priority for you to consider investing

Yes thats the one of the main problem of IEOs, investors trust projects when they launched their IEO on a top class exchange or who have more credibility despite of the projects quality. Hope this will be stopped cause it's not healthy for the industry and the future of technology.

if I was an investor, I won't to make investment to IEO. ITO, ICO etc. The projects who run IEO Must be have a bounty program, when the IEO were over next move is launching or listing in the market exchange, ususally  the bounty hunter will dump for fast profit income, this is the opportunities to fast trading. Bought in the deep then sell it when the project supporting the price. eassy 200% profit in a day.

As you know most of ICO was scams and others are dead and after IEO launched investors are willing to invest in projects and almost every projects getting success.

Its a premium for certain groups of people on top of its advantages, for being secure and reliable. More structured as well as exchanges majorly involved with the offering process, the bad thing is it doesn't offer any long term advantage generally. With ensured volume you might expect some few pumps early on if rush into these 'premium' projects. But considering the mechanism of holding discounted tokens and gradually release, it makes no differents like how projects die like the .com bubble area where overvalued companies have good reputation but fail in delivering. 

Well, what about if a person is not that really knowledgeable on the exchange where a particular coin will going to be listed? If that so, there is nothing it is different from ICOs for me. Any ways, what matter is about our personal decisions on how we will going to try and figure out how the market works.

I also agree with your views on IEO and ICOS are very potential and bring very high profits. But in ICOS a worm enriched soup and then the scammers suffused with projects that made real gold and fake gold confused. Therefore investors will be aware of IEO projects or ICO projects to continue investing.

we cannot say that IEO is bad, because IEO is the newest form of ICO, it's just that the IEO has many advantages over ICO. bad problem or not, it all depends on the type of project being undertaken. even ICO can be considered good or not, depending on the team, and the project being undertaken. I think IEO is better

maybe now it's true that not so many have realized that IEO itself also has weaknesses but later they will also realize that IEO itself is also a lot of things that in my opinion are not transparent to the public

It is based on the credibility of the exchange but try to focus on the credibility of the project itself. Like in ICO, you should not depend yourself with the exchange. You should look for evidences that the project is credible in fulfilling their promises on their WP, roadmap. And look for the team if it is not a scam. Overall, IEO for me is not bad. It is just a descendant of ICO but more trusted than ICO because it is hold by the exchange.

Exchange bittrex has now become a lot of talk because the IEO that has been completed and in the listing (Ocean Protocol) does not provide profit for investors, it is a big loss that many investors have caused due to the decline. So from now on, be careful with the IEO

How bad can IEO be when its already fixing crypto scam issues plaguing cryptocurrencies ? Is IEO not better than ICO that scams people of God knows how much?IEO is better than ICO and its what investors need ,even if no profit is made from IEO projects instantly at least its not scam project ,you can rely for future profits

Of course, it gives more credibility and believes that it will get listed compare to many token that after ICO they will keep muted about listing on any platform. However, investors need to be very careful because there are many exchanges out there that lack credibility and it may be suicidal to join IEO on such platform. Many of them are using fake volume to attract traders and they lack liquidity which makes trading to be boring and frustrating.

Many exchanges actually show inflated trading volumes in order to raise the listing price on their exchange. Therefore, you must first analyze the exchange and its real trading volumes in order to understand whether IEO will be successful or not and only after that to take part.

Differences between exchanges must be considered. Besides, if yobit had started IEO sale first, it would not be as popular as it is now. I think in the future we will understand that IEOs are not what we wanted.

I think the IEO is not bad, now investors are starting to get interested in this new program rather than ICO. since the ICO ended with a lot of fraud, some of them thought they preferred to take part in the IEO program. This is very nice.

Exchange plays an important role in the sucess of an IEO. But try and also go through the  project to find ones that have already shown they have credible teams, product, future. Then you can decide to partake in any that meet this criteria

IEO feels more clear than the ICO because it's already exchanged, and the IEO is actually not much different from ICO just different ways and if so, exchange has an important role and exchanges that have large volumes will attract investors,but we remain vigilant because a scam can happen at any time.

Not all teams that want to release their tokens in the IOO format can contribute a decent amount to the exchange, which is about 20 bitcoins. Maybe even because of this, while IEO achieve success. Not every team can pay this amount to the exchange. Therefore, the scam among projects that produce their tokens in the format of the IOO, is not heard.

This is bad because it will divide the territory. Exchange will rule the market. Is that bad. Will dictate their conditions to the entire market.

Why bad? I believe that, on the contrary, the IEO draws good attention to cryptocurrency and gives it a good growth dynamics, so of course I am for its implementation.

some time ago there was an IEO case in bittrex which said that the price of tokens from the IEO was far different when it entered the token exchange that was offered to be of no value or had cheap value and made many people surprised to see this case.

I used to think like you. just recently the bittrex platform running EIO made many investors lose big money. As you said, take a look at real projects

i think it depend on what exchanger that held those IEO event, if the host is big and top 10 eexchanger like yobit or houby, its not bad at all.

When exchanger decide put IEO on the project, i think the exchanger already doing a research and analysis about the project and investor getting more easier to invest. Its guarantee by exchanger that the token or coin will be listed in exchanger and dont have to wait for developers team decision

This is an absolute plus. The exchanges are carried out on their own audit of projects that are going to hold an IEO, and this provides additional guarantees for investors.

at the moment the IEO is busy talking in this forum. I interpret what you say about the credibility of an ico that does an IEO in some exchanges, especially large exchanges such as binance. yes regardless whether or not it is feasible or even can even scam.
in my opinion, however, we will really need regulation to overcome every thing that can involve crypto

It would not be popular in the forum if it wasn't the answer of the losing popularity of crowd funding.
When we say crowd funding, in the mind of the people it's ICO, now it has chance, it's through exchanges and the word IEO will be more popular than ICO soon.


This will certainly come soon, we need this.

I believe that the IEO was created to revive the dead ICO market, so that the whales could again earn money on new projects. I think that soon IEO will die as well as ISO, and then come up with something new.

IEOs held by binance should be not compared with others exchanger. Every exchanger have their own method when doing analysis about the project. But i agree we should invest on IEOs held by exchanger with good reputation because exchanger with good reputation must be wont take a risk

Market always has big changes and it never stops. Every year a new investment trend is born and if you seize the opportunity early, the chance to earn high profits will happen. This year is the year for IEO projects and if you can choose the best projects, invest now because the IEO will soon be forgotten later this year before things get worse. I will personally only join IEO at the top 3 exchanges because it will greatly reduce unnecessary risks when participating

The IEOs are not bad for me. Because you know from the beginning what kind of exchange will organize the IEO of a project. And so you can do research about that exchange and decide whether join or not to join the IEO. In addition, the token will begin to be listed on the exchange regulating the IEO soon. And that's why you can trade with that token without waiting so much time on that excahnge Therefore,  IEO can more preferable than ICO for me.

Not all of these IEO will still reach their target, investors are not looking at the project because its IEO, any shit exchange could come up with an IEO with dramatic whitepaper and register them for investors to buy, but most investors having gotten enough experience would rather participate in IEO from credible exchanges and not just any projects because it’s called IEO.

Reason above is why there are some IEO projects that are still not meeting up with their targets despite the fact they are on IEO platforms, but platforms of baseless exchanges. So great exchanges IEO can really have influence on the market as you expect.

a lot of Hype coming to this new crowdfunding models called IEO for now
and maybe this IEO will be a good options to start investing in cryptocurrencies for new investors  ;)

OP, it is without doubt that the exchange's name plays a very big influence on the would be standing or believability of a certain IEO.  However, the cryptocurrency exchange beforehand, sees to it that they scrutinized enthusiastically every project that desires to launch an IEO on its website. Needless to say, only projects that have a high degree of trustworthiness will be favored in the end. Thus, ensuring the would-be investors of a fraud/scam free projects. Naturally, their good reputation is at-stake if they will be partnering with fraudulent IEOs.
In addition, i always believe that it is our own responsibility and decision if we'll be comfortable in taking part/investing in any IEO's or ICO's. Due diligence on our part is always a must.

There are pros and cons why IEOs maybe bad or may not be too bad. On the pro side, Investors will be sure that the tokens they paid for will get listed. On the cons side, focus are much on the tokens instead of the products and the project itself.

I was lucky to participate in 2 ieo and I earned on them , but now on bad exchanges I would not advise to participate , and it will be like on the bittrex exchange ieo gave -30% at once

IEO is the new way of fund raising in cryptocurrency and other bounty campaigns that has done ico they continue a ieo because it has a good side like it is already listed on exchangers and now it is making a good trust on investors because it has already a exchangers and now i have a good project that opens IEO  has solution on dump of tokens and you can check the yanu website for more updates.

the best hyped ICO so far is still BTT, good return good trends
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bittorrent

You are right, too big focus is on exchanges, as they are supervising the project. We should still focus
on the project and the product itself and the exchange should be secondary, but I can understand
that in Bittrex or in Binance people have more confidence.

BTT was not an ICO, it's an IEO, and to prove, you can see it's rating here, https://coincodex.com/ieo/bittorrent-token/
That's just one of the site that gives rating.



Investors will decide on that matter.  They will choose a platform or investment they will think they will profit.


Of course, these exchanges has a good reputation, people will trust them over ICO who is run by people without proven good reputation.

I think the funds that will be collected will still go for the development of the exchange  . so i think ieo's dont really differ from an ico  .


Yes  . people will only be basing on good exchange so that they will have a confident that they wont be scam and they can also gain confident that their investment will grow  .


Yes . you might be the only one that thinks that ieo's are bad because majority of us are agreeing that ieo's are a good alternative to ico's because they are less risky and more profitable  .

Basically, there is no assurance really when a project is going to be successful even though it might be listed through IEOs, ICOS have already done that and the success of a project will going to depend on how good the project is, no matter what exchange will be it into. And that's a fact to consider the best projects on the market.

That possibility could have happened when many people began to trust the IEO, if we first saw the ICO launch, many people flocked to believe this to get maximum results, but the ICO gradually became a hotbed of fraud like in the last few times, many ico ended in fraud.

No they are not bad. It is a good step in the right direction. Despite the fact they are taken advantage of by exchanges, and not entirely foolproof, yet it still solves the intrinsic problems of cryptocurrency volatility contributed by fraud from project developers.

IEOs of some particular reputable exchange are amazing to me: but some exchanges (which let's not forget do about 98% fake volume...apart from a few exceptions like Binance) are supposed to provide the credibility? :) IEOs sell out in minutes or seconds...but they are all pumped to create FOMO. Just so the token goes up and those behind the IEOs profit from it. Others buy after the token is listed, pushing it further up...and then eventually that token will be dumped. This kind of stuff is killing the reputation of projects that actually do their best to deliver

That exchanges give credibility to the project, does it also mean that the project will skyrocket when listed on such the exchange. Let me use this scenario, after the IEO, a project is sold out, right. Then have we stopped to think what happens afterwards? How serious will the project team be to continue developing that project? This is no longer the business of the exchange.

What a happened to the ICO are the indications that no matter how good you are, scammers will always find their way to get money. An IEO working with the top exchanges are still not a safe investment so don't believe easily even if its a Binance exchange. IEO can still be manipulated, the volume can be manipulated and if they achieve to sold out in just one our for sure they are just trying to make a hype and when they hit the exchange they will just dump the price so try to analyze it.

Sometimes, this issue of ICO scam, I just hope we are not really blowing it out of proportion, I just thought to myself now, the rate at which we see all ICOs as scam, how come I have still not fallen a victim of any despite my continuous participation, I know I research on them a lot before investing, but I don’t think I am that perfect not to have fallen a victim of at least 1, all the years I have spent in this ICO market, I have never for once been scammed.

I know that IEO projects are very good right now, for the fact they come directly from reputable exchanges, I just hope that one day, 1 person will not fault it and change the trend whereby everyone will start condemning it again.

On the other hand many projects needs start up and listing in an exchange like IEO can solve such problems providing the funding platform.But unfortunately now--a-days many shit projects are coming every now and then and making people rekkt.

Binance is the Best exchange out there and it cannot and should not be compared with the small common exchanges because of many reasons. The fact that Binance has been so over crowded is due to the fact that it has been offering great services to its users and this is purely the reason why people prefer Binance. IEO conducted by Binance have been great success and one should try to be part of IEO on Binance.

I don't see anything bad with IEOs. The rule and belief system behind IEO's work is comparable to smart contract. In light of the fact that the IEO is another project for ventures that need development funds.

We can not say that ICO's are a good or bad know because this trend is just sated after a big crash of ICO's. IEO's' started by exchange directly  and there is a low chance of scam that ICO's

Participated in the ieo on binance and gate , once there and there , the projects of course after the release are very much , and the exchange take responsibility for the project , I think if you go only on those exchanges that you trust

I agree with you, everyone who participates in the IEO is like a project that they have written in white paper, many do not even go to the project site. The main thing is to enter the IEO and quickly throw off tokens/coins with a profit. And they are not interested in the future of the project.

IEO's can't be be good or bad. They are exist and that's all. For now - investors and traders believe in IEO and only that is important. We cant say how long it will be, but it is still profitable to invest in IEO.

IEO is majorly established to take charge of exchange in our crypto project, every change will definitely have a positive side and negative side depending on which side it has been to you from time, i believe it will help to reduce scams and help to fasten the delay of many token from getting into exchange. but it may have to reject some project.

Still profitable for whom? For those who can make bot's farm to make orders on the first? Or have enough knowledge to hack timer on others? What about so stupid traders that bought on the these pumps? Can they say that all IEO's are profitable?  ;D
I think it's a good exchange idea to make some hype about it and nothing more. Projects are fuel for this hype. And it's sad 

IEOs are not meant to be bad, rather they are meant to reduce scam while helping upcoming projects raise funds. But on the other hand, they way it is going, your last sentence is what it looks like; that is, nowadays investors only concentrate on the exchange and it's ability to give them reasonable return while forgetting what the project is all about or if the team is capable.

yes,although there are some bad IEOs, there are also some good IEOs so we can't say if the IEO is bad.
and currently the IEO that many people avoid is Yobit.

With all y the recent activities going on with all the previous IEO after listing on an exchange,  I can say in my own opinion that IEO is pretty bad,  I'm talking from experience I know some IEO that had dumped because I trust the platform that they were launched on

Taking a good look at IEOs nowadays I tend to agree with you. Because all that matters now is the anticipated profit and not in the potential of the project anymore.
On the hand, to answer your question; IEOs are not bad at least I don't think there have been any news of investors getting scammed. In my own opinion, IEOs will do well on the long run if they are properly managed.

IMO, IEO isn't bad. IEO makes the related exchange as escrow, which guarantees all investor money.
However, the IEO will have an adverse effect if misused, which will be detrimental to the investor and the exchange that provides the IEO feature (this causes a decrease in the exchange's electability).

Your understand is right and we should not miss understood it.  Formally ico now IEO.  It is the same projects but different ways of raising fund!  However since it is exchange that is now in charge of funds raising you can easily dispose the coins that you feel are not going to appreciate in future.

Yes, as you said, IEO is not good enough in this case because it is still not strong enough, I heard a lot from people before that IEO is better than ICO but in my opinion it is not much more different. It all depends on us in developing coins because we know all that is easy.

Hello everyone, very often they talk about it, someone heard about this project called GEXAN, said that their tokens would be at a good price?

I admit that the IEO is good because the IEO collects funds after their projects are running and honestly it is more convincing because I don't think they will commit fraud because if they do then their project will be destroyed and their exchangers will be at stake, therefore it is very important to I only chose the IEO which was held by a large exchanger because they certainly would not dare to commit fraud, while without doing so they were actually able to get money from their exchangers but even so I somehow preferred ICO because the concepts promoted by ICO can vary and I know that there are many concepts that I think are better and will be more hype than making exchangers

I registered with them in the bounty of the company, in the hope that in time I can sell at a good price on the stock exchange, there should be prospects, but much depends on advertising.

Thank you, I took the information, but it's just a lottery, i don’t really believe in that, there are very few projects that live to the very end. But I will consider and try to figure it out.

Ooh boy!!...thanks for so real buddy. This is one fact that many don't want ti accept. Let's take Binance IEOs for example. A then-to-now retrospective study on these four or so IEOs conducted will show how "worthless/useless" those projects have become. So the bottom line is that te exchange names are giving undue credit to some of the IEOs but U believe change shall come and we may see better ones some day.

I do not think that many depends on advertising , the project needs a good team and a working product , and for them everything will be done by the exchange to which it goes ieo

No its not bad because this is the way of one company/project to take and get a high funds from their IEO this is the new strategy now of many project and exchanger they are collaboration to gain big funds and absolutely this was getting successful now.

Your point is a very vital one, yes we know that IEO project are secured and so on, but there is no guarantee that IEO projects are solid even if they look solid to the exchanges, most of these projects they bring our are all on trial, because they have not engaged in it before, and if they don’t know how to manage the project very well as a starter, they will definitely fail, no matter which platform they come with, whether it is IEO, IPO, STO or ICO.

So like you pointed out, we still need to Do our own research and not completely rely on these IEO because the platform is also been created by Man that is not perfect in all things.

All great IEOs are on top exchanges. As u know tokens are listed after the IEO is over, thereby if the exchange is popular, then success is guaranteed.

IEO is pretty similar to ICO. But with IEO you can trade right away, and this makes it more flexible

Not only that, with IEO we have the exchange to verify the legitimacy of the project and the team behind it, which makes it more secured compared to ICO.

Most IEO projects in Binance exchanges are very profitable and everyone wants to be the luckiest person to participate in that project. I think the IEO contributes to the development of this market because it is the best money-making investment channel and you will become rich if you can participate in those potential projects. In addition to Binance, OKEX and HUOBI are also 2 exchanges that you need to consult when participating in IEO investment

IEO is not a good idea to raise funds like ICO. ICO is a more open platform where you can get acquainted with the product that they offer and decide to invest money or not to get more profit. IEO is actually buying a cat in a bag and here I find less chance that you will make a profit. I participated in one IEO but not successful because he started the pump a week after entering the stock exchange and I did not wait to wait a week and sold after 2 days

While the Initial Exchange Offering may appeal to those who are looking to capitalize on the recent success of others who have undertaken them, it is not the best solution for certain companies looking to raise funds. Researching fully the nature of IEO’s before undertaking one or before participating in one is key for both the sellers and the buyers.

I did not know that, but surely when you buy IEO, then there is a freeze on the selling until a certain time? Otherwise if you buy it and then immediately sell it will that not cause the dump of price instantly?

And about verification of legitimacy, yes,,, but if the exchange does a bad job of it, kind of like how Bittrex messed up their first IEO, then you end up with the same result of an IEO that actually had no plan to do anything with their project.

Not entirely bad although some projects may make the IEO look bad. As far as I am concerned,  not all exchange should hold an IEO but many of them are holding the IEO making IEO look kinda bad

It's true actually, because of the exchange hosting, people and investors invest their money and it's not because of the project. Not all of them but i'm sure hosted by big exchange such binance is give a big impact. To be honest it's bad but i hope there is no bad or negative news about IEO.

I agree
but now the IEO is a better option than investing in ico, I think if large exchanges have a difficult mechanism to be able to do the IEO, and different from small exchanges, especially those that are not credible.
and this will have pros and cons between those who agree or not.
I can only try to analyze it and at the moment there is still nothing bad happening.

Anyway, there are good IEO projects, the main thing is to know which ones to choose for yourself, i can share this, and then decide on you further http://gexan.io/

IEO is the better options now is for the project good all the project that did IEO have encountered all are successful and they awesome.

Sincerely, I don't think they are. IEOs are designed to reduce fraudulent public sale thus scammers. Taking a look at IEOs now, one can see they are making headways unless in exchnages that failed to organise theirs well. But one thing still stands out, there have been little or no scam.

No, IEOs are not bad, they are the future of fundraising in my opinion. I see people saying it'll shift focus from the actual projects to exchanges but this is what's actually obtainable in ICOs since people have to keep asking "when exchange?" all the time. IEOs take away that aspect and instead focus on the development of the project.
A project like ECOMI, for example, running an IEO soon will have community members who will focus on understanding the tech behind the project instead of bothering about exchanges and the exchange in the picture also runs awareness campaigns for these projects.

This is what makes investors happy, they do not wait for a long time to trade so that when they feel the need for money, immediately selling in the market is easy.

No they aren't. The main objectives of IEOs is to reduce fraudulent projects coming to the crypto space; thus with this, one can't say IEOs are bad.
But it is worthy to know that it is very important for exchange to maintain status quo which is to ensure the IEO they approve is worth it.

no!currently IEO is really good at least most of the IEO'S  are real and if you want to make big profit then you take part in binance launchpad ieo and huobi but also remember dumping price not mean the project is bad

I think the IEO or ICO are the same, they used ICO in the past to make the fomo market grow strongly. Now they only change the way tokens are sold in exchange, not from the team. Either way I want it to make the market come back

There is a new round of development of the industry,which came to replace the ISO,as of course it will manifest itself not who will say,but one thing for sure that perhaps soon he will be popular,but can then also witiw past,time flies very fast

For me IEO its good option to invest besides ICO. IEO its more secure, easy to invest and profitable, especially those at Binance Launchpad.

let's just wait for what will happen because it is still too difficult to predict this fast because there are also good IEOs and there are also bad ones so the possibility that ICO will die or continue to grow remains a mystery.

I don't think that IEOs are bad. Atleast at this moment ieos are at the full of hype and they are doing very good job at the market. From last few months ICO market are not doing very well. They are struggling for many reasons. The main reason was failed projects and scams. In ico ecosystem most of the project was a scam they took peoples money and disappeared. Many of them failed at development stage. So investors are kind of feared of that situation and they didn't want to invest anymore. But after this ieo concept many investors return to this field cause many big name are working together again. So they can easily trust them and invest in it. So I think this whole ieo thing is doing good progress and they are push up many good project. So IEOs are good for this market at this moment.

I do not like IEO because you need to buy exchange tokens to participate in the investment. Which can greatly fall in price, which eats all the profits from IEO, and sometimes brings even losses.

The disadvantage you mentioned can be attributed to psychological effects. Irrespective of that, I feel IEO has contributed advantageously to helping eliminate frauds and trade uncertainties associated with fundraising goals in ICOs

I think IEO is bad. which is different only in the investment method, as a whole as with ICO. the goal is to collect funds from investors (us).
As you say, many people who invest in IEOs only refer to, where the market is and what the price is. they have never thought and sought further information about the project whether it is legitimate or not much different from the ICO project in general. (shit project/you loss)

IEO isn't so bad, it's just that now they're only needed for quick and big earnings, because now IEO is very popular and that's why a lot of people make money from it.

No I don't think they are, IEO came into play owing to the ill activities taking place in ICO, thus it was created so as to protect investors. One should know that a big exchange promoting an IEO doesn't mean the project will last long term, investors should be mindful of the projects they invest in, always make research to protect their funds.

According to the topic, I don't think so. Because IEO gives current information about the price of the token. When IEO start it means that token begin trading on the exchanger. This gives an additional trusting to the project. Because all participants see the seriousness of action from the management of a project.

IEO no doubt is a bad thing for those who had been making money by scamming people on ICO back then. IEO right now is a lifesaver and has been a sign of success in the crypto space. All the good projects are launched on exchanges by conducting IEO. The best exchange would no doubt achieve their hard cap within minutes like Binance does. Try to target the best IEOs on the best exchange.

The major factor to consider in IEOs as compared to ICOs is the counter party authority that is the exchange which takes custodianship and that is the reason developer cannot do any even if he is a scammer. It is common in ICOs where a scammer developer can betray buyers as the developer holds the authority and controls the process. But IEOs are being offered by exchanges which are safe.

Yes you're right. IEO is even very good for those who want to take part in the project, but minimize the risk. I think the IEO is better than ICO, moreover when big markets accept them, it certainly has great trust.

True that IEO is good, but the big problem here is our capacity to participate in good project as it normally sold out easily.
If we cannot invest, we can only avail by buying it after the sale or when it's live in a certain exchange.

I think the IEO is one of the best crypto fund raising techniques at the moment, because there will be guaranteed coins or tokens to be listed in the exchange where the IEO is running. Investors will feel comfortable and safer with the IEO because there will be stricter selection for each IEO

For me IEO is a new way for invest in the new crypto project. Especially the IEO at Binance Launchpad i am very like it. For me IEO is better than ICO and there will be no fraud.

IEO is definitely the way to go at this current point in time. STO's, yeah, you can. But ICO's is already a big no-no for me. IEO's provides much more security for the investors and so far everything looks good. I just participated in a project that sold out their private sales and their IEO in Bitforex. (http://ecomi.com?utm_source=ecomilx) That goes to show that people are trusting IEOs now and feel confident about it.

The exchange does necessarily legitimize the IEO project by default. The differentiator between an IEO and an ICO is the safety of the investment process.

IEO is everything ICO should have been. Safer, more reliable, better controlled. There is no longer a need to sling your personal data at hundreds of different providers, hoping to gain "exclusive" access to an ICO.

No. I don't think IEOs are bad. We actually need IEOs at this time to curb the scam in ICOs since there are lot of scam in ICO now which is driving investors away from the crypto business.

I saw that more than 100 new Exchanger issued coins (IEO) and many of the new Exchange is dead, no longer operating and even lost (the site was deleted), to be honest I'm very disappointed with this.  but there are still very profitable IEOs and not bad such as Binance which issues BNB, IDEX, and Yobit that are about to issue their own coins (IEO) soon.  IEOs from large exchanges have a greater chance of making a profit  ;D

There is nothing that relates solely to good or bad. Yet it is multifaceted and depends solely on our vision.

My view of the IEO is not bad, because of better security, to avoid scams, and secure investor investments. that in my opinion.

there is no nothing bad in IEOs. it's a good way for the projects to raise money and for the investors to receive tokens of promising projects at low price.

I think IEO is very good for short-term investments because every IEO is held, many IEOs are successful in a short time even before 1 month they are able to sell all coins. but, of course there are also some IEOs that I think are pretty bad.

A good IEO is that those in large exchanges such as Bittrex and Binance are always sold out in a short time, so if you want to really participate in investing in the IEO, then on that exchange is my advice.

I think IEO is good and more reliable than ICO. In IEO there will be fewer scams. But I don’t like that in IEO only exchanges and investors and start-ups can earn, and there’s no place for bounty hunters.

You are too pessimistic without checking before I see that there are more IEO bounties popping up, now you go to thread bounty, and you will find the IEO bounty

Like how the ICO's growth is relay on the private investors. This IEO are really need to be listed on big exchanges. If the coin has listed on fake and small exchanges means we will not get the reach or anything for that.
So be closely look at the IEO where it is listed. Even that coin listed on exchanges then it will dropped bigger in few seconds for huge volume of sellings.

The IEO or included in the Exchange Token category is not too bad for me, there are 10 Exchange that I know that their IEO is a big success and very profitable that are KuCoin, Bibox, Huobi, BridgeCoin, Qash, OKB, Binance, DEW, Idex and Fcoin but we still must to be more careful in making choices, before investing in the IEO we have to first check how the developer works.

Most people are only in it to make a buck and do not care less about the project. This is just giving investors exactly what they want and encourages more people to risk their coins knowing that it will be listed straight away

And why is that bad. The only reason for bounties is to help spread the word about a project. If a project already gets advertising through an exchange, then there is potentially no need for bounty.

It should be seen as a positive that IEOs are likely better for investors since they are actually spending money on the project.

This thread is the answer for your question: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5144119.0

IEOs are good for a few small reasons. But, in essence, there is no big difference than ICO. Only, coin is sold on the exchange. Essentially, it does not make a big difference unless it is in the great exchange.

They say it bad cause they are thinking that IEO will be just the same for ICO and they also put in their mind that, of what it happens to ICO will similarly happen again into IEO projects. I hope they weren't wrong, in fact, IEO hasn't proved anything this time that is why they should give their best and so investors will look into them.

actually the exchange project is really good because we need exchangers but if that is too much in my opinion it will really be troublesome because there will be lots of coins that are registered in various exchangers so we have to register in almost all exchangers in anticipation of new coins listed only on small exchangers whose actual security is still not guaranteed, there are many like that because they want to fulfill the guideline that their coins must be immediately registered with the exchangers therefore there are many who arbitrarily register their coins in small exchangers

Honestly, many crypto enthusiasts just want to hear that an IEO will take place on a renowned exchange like Binance, Huobi, Okex etc and boom they struggle to buy in without looking at the project itself. For instance, I asked a friend who wanted me to aid in buying an IEO on Binance launchpad because his account is not verified, why he wants to buy in, what interests him in the project? He said I should forget the long talks, that it's because it will sell out fast and give huge gains to those who bought in. Let's always do due diligence notwithstanding. IEOs ain't bad generally.

Though IEO is not that bad rather it becomes better than ICO. But I can't disagree with you that people are not aware of the project because of the IEO, they only look at the IEO hosting exchange! This is not the crypto's nature btw!

For me, an IEO is an ad factor to the project, since it will be hosted by the exchange partner with a lots of community support. but the bad thing is that, people may tend to buy without understanding what the project could do in the long run.

Im gonna try buying tokens during IEO too.

Definitely, IEO saves the crowdsale funding method and it's an improvement from ICO to IEO.

Everything changes, the only nature I believe that has not change is the price volatility, everything changes like the way the marketing goes and the way people search information about the crowdsale.

We have to accept the changes and adopt on it as it's for the good of all, IEO reduce scams, thus it minimizes the risk of investing.

When there is a new IEO project in the top 3 exchanges, investors often don't care what the project brings and focus only on the profit in that project. I think this makes the IEO a new trend this year and only lucky people have a chance to make a profit of 100% -200%. Anyway, don't worry too much because if you have a ticket to participate in Binance, Okex, Huobi, you will earn high profits.

maybe yes and maybe no, depend on which exchanger whos held it, im suggest to only participated on IEO held by famous exchanger, its more safe than ICO.

Yeah, IEOs that hosted by big exchange always sold out easily but if the IEOs hosted by small exchange it will hardly sell. In my opinion IEO is not bad, it's also depends on the project too. A good project combined with hosted by a big exchange will give a big result. So IEO is not bad for me.

Yes you have a point and that's what happening right now, investors invest in a project into exchanges with more credibility and hype rather than the technology of a project behind it. But the good thing about Binance example is they launch Top quality projects in their exchange. No shitcoins will be held in Binance launchpad for sure to maintain their credibility.

IEO is much better compared to ICO, since the coin is already guaranteed to be listed onto the exchange. And the better the exchange, the more successful will be an IEO.

The struggle is not only in the listing of exchange, but on how to maintain the volume and the price.
Some projects under ICO would prefer not to list their coin at the present situation as they are afraid it will only dump and will not recover anymore.

IEO is good but there's an exemption, it's only good if the site that is catering the ICO is known for building a good trading volume, otherwise, price will not grow with buyers, so in short here, make sure to participate on good trading sites only.

I don't think the success of an IEOs project is related to the exchange site list its. Because after listing on exchange site, if dev team does not act or working hard to publish their product, introduce their partner, the [price of their token will be fallen quickly.
IEO is only to make sure their token would be listed on the exchange site.

In any case, IEO projects still provide investors with better security than ICO projects. We see that fraud in IEO projects is significantly diminished, because the exchanges themselves check the viability of such projects. Also, investors are comfortable in the sense that with IEO projects, the stock exchange that will trade in new tokens is already known in advance. These innovations do not deprive investors of the opportunity to conduct their own assessment of such projects and form their own opinion about such projects. However, it seems to me that government regulation of ICO activities will still be the best tool in combating fraud in ICO projects. However, at this stage, IEO projects are more positive for investors in terms of fraud protection.

I think it works both the ways. If your project and team is strong and good enough, and then you hold IEO on big and reputed exchanges. Your project will get a wide range of attentions of potential investors and bounty hunters and crypto enthusiasts. But I am not saying that holding IEO on good and reputed exchanges like binance will not alone approve worth of a project. What I am saying is that it will add colour to your project. So I think advertisement will play a major role.

IEOs definitely raise the bar of security as compared to faceless ICOs. And like what the OP said, IEO under Yobit vs. Binance, which one would you trust? For me, under BNB launchpad but I still need the overall picture of the project. The feasibility of their platform, the development stage of their app or product and the credibility of the team behind it.

I never see any thing bad in IEO conducting which is even the best style I have seen in crypto world , by eradicating the level of scam ICO in town now .

It has help put the confidence back in to fund raising system in cryptocurrency will also give assurance of getting listed soon as possible on same exchange and the funds raised will be secure as the exchange manage the system.

Agree, that all IEO become just a flip story and no matter what project is collecting funds and what idea they want to bring to the world. In ICO was more risks, so investors research projects more carefully.

the risk is the same as there really is. Before investing in all projects I think we need to be careful. as well as the IEO or ICO, both are at risk. but maybe now the IEO in large exchanges gives less risk than ICO projects that may not get much investor trust now.

The popular the exchange for the IEO is the better for the projects ,exchanges like binance ,digifinex ,yobit are top exchanges which will have positive impact on any IEO projects listed on these exchanges ,even if the project is not too good it will do better still

I am agree, i dont see the bad thing about IEOs so far. Many IEOs sold out in short time reflecting investor very interest on this sales model and sometimes could lead big profits when start listed in exchangers. I think about bad or good is depend on our own perspective, if we get profits, i think its good model but if we got loss we will called it as bad model

IEOs are not really bad, owing to the motive they were created for. Also, clearly studying IEOs one can see that they are at least to a certain extent better than ICOs.
Also, when considering the IEO to get involved with, it is wise to also study the Exchanges as they play a vital role.

I only enjoyed the IEO at the beginning and it was a new way to get a large number of merchants.
The IEO does not have a long-term project but this method is very popular to get funds. you should be careful with the IEO.

I completely disagree with you, IEO is not a project, it's  platform use for crowdsale.
Project in ICO and IEO are similar and no project that the devs did not offer their project will be develop for long term.
The way the market now is behaving, I see IEO will be more popular and ICO will be left out, as people choose to be safe here.

I don't know rightly about IEO, because I have never heard before. But like people says IEO can make more advantages for the investor, and I want to see how the IEO totally running in the cryptocurrency world. If the feedback is positive from each people, I guess it can be to continue.

You are very right in your perception. With the IEO, people may even be lured into bad projects without future survival once it is been promoted at that very point by reputable exchanges such as Binance or Kucoin, etc. I think it may be a bad precedence as people now judge projects based on the exchange offering the IEO.

maybe you should check it out as soon as possible because IEO is quite popular now but from what I know the IEO still has many shortcomings even though it has many advantages so in my opinion we are still at high risk despite investing in the IEO.

I don't think that IEOs are bad for the ecosystem. Even it is one of the best and hyped thing at this moment. For last few months we saw that ICO ecosystem is failed day by day. And at that moment most of the icos are failed or scam. And we thought that that was the end of the ICO marketm but after ieo came the whole thing is rebirth again. And at this moment people are getting into it. People are not afraid of being scammed. And many good project are coming to the fron with this ieo system. So I think taht it is great for market

It is not necessarily a bad thing. In my opinion, it can be a way to separate real blockchains from others.  Any developer that goes through such Centralized funding platforms do not understand blockchain well enough and may be avoided by true believers. 

Maybe they understand but since ICO not having good result they tend to find resort on going into exchanges already that can influence readily investors to invest.

You are actually right, but the point is do people saying it's bad have other ways of buying new projects coins, they are the same set who complained about the ico now the new way, why not trying something new before it also get to the point where it won't be appreciate any more.

How yobit are top exchange? I don't think yobit is a really top exchange. Top 10 exchanges is reliable for IEO i think. And IEO is better than ICO because in IEO token surely list on exchange. But only most of the top exchanges IEO will success. IEO play good impact instead of IEO i think.

IEO lessen the doubt of investors in some point since if the project seems not doing well they can guarantee that they can sell it right away once listed but in ICO it's been long process before they got into exchanges.

Um... It always seemed to me that people think quite broadly and can distinguish a really profitable and promising project from pure rubbish...

Of course you cannot compare the trusted exchange with some untrusted exchange in holding IEO.
if trusted exchange runming IEO, then many peoples will investing on the exchange because they know the trusted exchange already done the research about the project

They are not bad. I think that they are offering an amazing opportunity to take part in a slightly new fundraising model and be sure that the listing is going to happen within the next several days on a great exchange.

No, they are not bad at all. Vice versa, with the appearing of IEO, the chances to meet scammers as it happened many times with ICOs are not so great. Now, people can be more confident that they will not lose their money.

I think that when choosing IEO plays an important role exchange where the project will be added after the sale. Projects which, for example, conducted an IEO on the Binance Launchpad will successfully projects on Yobit. Therefore, I believe that we should rely on the authority of the exchange, and not focus on the technical aspects of the project.

I think that the exchange is important only at the first stages of the project development. If the project is technically unique and will be in demand in the market in the future, it does not matter on which exchange IEO was held. Binance can guarantee high project fees, but does not guarantee that the project will be successful in a few years.

Somehow most people think that the IEO is seen from the exchange first. After that there might be a research project to see if the project can develop. The IEO is certainly not too bad now. From the previous IEO, there are certainly many investors who can make a profit. Of course that is added value for people who invest in the IEO.

As you know scammers are available every where IEO's are good if launch through good and trusted exchanges , if IEO's will launch in unknown are low trust ranking than can be bad.

It is no difference between ICO and IEO, this will not change in project itself, if the project is good the price will jump and if the project is poor, the price will fail.
But i have to say that the listing projects in exchange after ICO is better than IEO this due to exchanges do more research about project before listing it and the project become more clear and this not happen with IEO in other hand IEO happen during ICO, and the project still in the beginning.

You're right,IEOs take a substantial amount of risk out of the equation; scammers have lesser opportunities to defraud investors, people who want to invest understand that the exchanges have at least done background checks so there's a little assurance that these projects have the ability to deliver a working product.
This is one of the reasons I got encouraged to dig further and invest in the project developing a digital collectibles market (https://www.ecomi.com/#features)

I am also joining with you . I also created some thread for informing people there is enough project in crypto space we can invest . No need for new project whether ICO , IEO or anything . It is spoiling investment in Crypto space . Lots of these IEO or ICO  investments going away from crypto space.

I think you are right. With IEOs holding on large exchanges, this my happen that people or investors look at the exchanges only and not to projects. But I think, when holding IEOS of any projects, such exchanges will also  have more responsibility towards its users. Because the trust is actully getting passed on to projects via exchanges. Exchanges must have some specific criteria to hold the IEO of the project. Its exchanges responsibility to check legitness of the project.
If something goes wrong, it may also impact to the exchange and thus reputation can go down. Surely, exchanges dont want this situation so I am sure they are checking all the aspects before holding any IEOs. With base of these points, I think one can trust the projects based on the exchanges holding the IEO. Atleast we can be sure with top exchanges about this.

Very few projects can earn high profits at this time because people are more inclined to invest in top pennies and that leaves abandoned IEO projects in May. I think it should only be invested when this trend is just starting because it will be a time for you to get the best profit but you need to be careful because currently many fraudulent IEO projects make investors lose a lot of money and you can see OCEAN, VBK at BITTREX exchange. I personally consider very carefully when I join the IEO and only choose to exchange Binance and Huobi

The IEO and ICO are the same thing, that is coin initialization which different of both is only from the IEO which is handle by some exchange and ICO handle out by the owner.
IEO is bad??, i think is not because IEO is better than ICO for now.
IEO is trending and has positive responses from investors, but there are still have failed IEOs.
IEO is very good for a short time, not for a long time that the fact of data i get from a successful IEO.

Now for the quality of the project, or rather, the future cost of the token is indirectly the responsibility of the exchange where IEO is held. I think that you are right, the exchange directly affects the interest to the project.

The exchange is now a key factor for the project to become successful , all projects that went to binance are in great demand

Most of those who came to crypto market came to make money, and then buy more bitcoins. To many participants and exchanges there is no difference to which projects they help. Just to make big money.


What is Binance? For me, this is just exchanger but not exchange. She created hype around himself and dictates her terms on market. Yes, she is good. But are these changes for a better future? If from this exchange many hackers can steal money several times then i have doubts about her prospects.

The new idea of IEO avail projects to raise money on the exchange rather than handling it themselves. Big exchange like Binance will definitely give hype to a project but one think I know for sure is that exchange like Binance will not just accept the IEO of anyhow project.

The IEOs which is published on Binance are definitely not bad. Many people who is invested IEOs of Binance, earned a lot of money thank to Binance. That's why i would like to win a ticket for Harmony's IEO.

IEO can't be bad for now as it is still new, and I don't think there's something wrong with it in any other exchange doing it apart from the bigger ones. The point is that where are you buying from is it the trustest ones or any site that supports ieo, that's how bad it can be by the user. Same way we still can locate a good ico

The problem with IEOs is that it seems that many exchanges are taking advantage of it in a dishonest way.. overhyping them, releasing only a part of the allocated supply to appear scarcity of tokens and increase artificially the price. Anyway, i would like that Beatzcoin was able to conduct an IEO in BInance launchpad for example, which would make its price skyrockets, benefiting all of them that bought during Pre-IEO

Yes the consequences could be bad or at times worst when you try to purchase tokens in IEO conducted by an exchange which is not even genuine at all. This could result in the listing of weak project with zero value gaining prospect and hence a loss. IEO is best option only if the exchange dealing with IEO is best and not the kind of exchange that will conduct IEO for anyone.

I think its good this way as it will give other exchange the opportunity to improve and delvop their platform to enable them sell out like their competitor.  For now Binance is taking the lead on IEO other exchange will restrategize to challenge Binance well

Exchanges that are conducting IEO are already existing exchanges, some has been in the business for quite long, meaning most of them are already rooted and successful platforms unlike ICOs which mostly are just starting and developing projects so investors in my opinion are more secure in investing in IEO than in ICO which is unsure if the project behind the said ICO will really be successful.

Yes. What you think is the same as most people here. We all know that, but all are only interested in profits, so choosing a reputable exchange like Binance will guarantee your profit.

In my opinion I would say initial exchange offering is very good, this is based on what I have seen, another advantage of Initial exchange offering is that the token is sure of listing if they sell out, so this is also a plus.

I don't think so, best exchanges attract best projects. Its a common natural law of attraction. With that succinctly put, it is normal for people to focus on the exchanges which are already adjudged credible and capable of picking the highest quality projects devoid of scam. Investors can now research on Tokenomics and determine what is best for them

I have not found clear evidence that explains that this IEO is bad. I cannot judge something without proof that can be accounted for. Indeed, at the beginning we can be complacent by focusing on exchange and not focusing on the IEO project itself. IEO projects are more important to note. If the project is indeed good, then we just see the exchange because a good IEO should be useful. If the IEO is exchanged but does not have real benefits, I am sure that it cannot last long on the market.

now the IEO is the best way to attract investors to invest in new crypto project regarding the clarity of the IEO will be give profit or not all of the skills of each , check and understand the project before investing

I have also been thinking about this for a while now. People will rather invest in projects hosted by well known exchange platforms without cross checking how feasible the project is to the entire crypto ecosystem.  But my main concern is on whether these big platforms really examine and cross check the validity of the projects before hosting their IEO's on their platforms ...

Exchange that has a high level of trust such as binance is indeed trusted by investors to make their investment in Projeck provided. but being able to join alone is difficult. the average profit is quite large if we can follow IEO or Launchpad at binance

IEOs are really great, it has assisted so many projects in fundraising and some even hit hardcap with IEO on reputable exchanges. IEO restorted people's confidence in crypto currency investment.

For me IEO is better than ICO which is not bad for the community and investors...

IEO has turned over an exchange which that exchange must review the project and investigate the team first before launching the IEO on their platform.

this gives another security for the investors.

There was a side that it was bad. Because the final decision if the token was good if it was listed on a a good exchange. But it was like a shortcut if IEO can do that. Because they just pay immediately.

It is more correct to direct attention to the project. IEO is more attractive but all of them can not be good. You can look at Binance to make easy money for a short time, but you also should look out for the future.

Nowadays its doesnt matter for anyone like me, because it depends on our purpose, if we think of making a profits only, we should learn to play the game of trading but if your purpose is long term investments, ieo is really something like you.need to understand the pros and cons but people nowadays, they always look in the reputation of the exchange rather than the project.

The IEO is an effective way to raise funds for a project, but the reputation of exchange seems to be the key to its success. Investors are more likely to quickly enter the project when they are registered at Binance Launchpad. However, it is different when a project is registered in an exchange with a low reputation that is quiet from investors, even though the project might be worth choosing.

Probably Yobit was and not known as one of the top of exchange becasue we have the likes of Binance among others. Also, IEOs are far more better than those days where we had ICOs. My investment now is based on the top exchanges that operate on IEOs else, they may be shitcoin or coins without prospect.

I am agree, we have a choice and if we can choose binance why we should invest in yobit right?. I think IEOs or ICOs is about making profits and as long the project give us profits, i think IEOs not a bad thing and its gaining trust from investor now

IEOs are not bad, the bad aspect is what you mentioned here;  people focus more on the exchange listing the project, then FOMO and forget about what the actual project has to offer. It's clear that IEOs done on credible exchanges like Binance, Kucoin and OKEX sell very fast because investors are confident that the team members have been verified thoroughly by the exchange and the coin will be listed fast. I will strongly encourage everyone to look deep on what the project has to offer, the product or MVP, the token economics and other vital aspects before buying into any token sale.

IEO is a very risky investment but it is much better than current ICO projects. It is possible that many IEO projects do not achieve the desired profit but if you join IEO projects at the top exchanges, your profits will easily double in just a few days. I often participate in top IEOs and so far most of the major IEO projects I have participated in have been very profitable and helped me a lot in investing.

The advent of IEO makes investors do little research as they know some of the task are done by the exchange itself already.
They trust the exchange, so they trust their judgment, that's why some coins after IEO pump in Binance because people love Binance so much as they can trade blindly thinking a project is good as Binance listed it.

I agree, ieo is now very good at raising money and only on top exchanges, as many people have lost a lot of money due to poor-quality ico , I think it's good that this is happening and there will be less in the Scam market.

IEO's are much safer than ICO's, especially if done in a good exchange. Exchanges have an image to watch out for, they can't make the mistake of approving bad or scam projects.

But the truth usually is different than what most people think. Binance could list whaterever they want and to fulfil their agenda without even people knowing and despite publishing a project that's near to useless people would still buying it thinking that the project is awesome and all. I'm not a hater but don't just blindly trust exchange. Most of Binance IEO is a huge success because the hype not because the project itself.

I agree with some of the things you said, investors more look at who exchangers? and more like IEO with big exchanger such as binance and put aside what projects will be offered in the IEO and its benefits. But some points I also disagree because in my opinion IEO is more credible and more transparent in providing information, IEO is also more cooperative towards all those involved in the IEO project, because they carry the name of the exchange site so if there is a project that brings bad feedback then it will have an impact on the exchange site itself

That's correct. People believe and trust the judgement of certain exchanges like Binance, OKEx and Huobi when it comes to choosing the best cryptocurrency projects for fund raising. The invest knowing that exchange listings, reputable team and partners have been assured. However, the frenzy is gradually dying down because in the end profit to investors is what matters most and many of them are not getting as much as thought or planned

That's true, people invest not primarily because on how good the project is but on how good the exchange that will sell the coin in IEO.
Binance and Houbi get more investors because they are the most popular exchange in the market, and if they make mistake, investors know they will loss more than investors loss when investing in an ICO as these exchanges are billion dollar exchanges and making millions from fees alone.

Most IEO only raise millions, so exchanges would not risk their billions just for these millions.
That's the simple analysis why investors prefer to risk their money investing in IEO in bigger exchanges.

The reputable exchanges also want to list the good coins than wasting time with the shitcoin projects. Developers also understand the key facts, they must improve their business idea for listing on the Binance IEO. The big exchanges don't want to list the useless projects, I also agree with their management at this point. Approving bad projects will raise some questions by the social media users(investors) regarding the bad reputation and delisting requests will appear sooner or later. If we compare the IEOs on different exchanges it becomes simple choosing the low reward IEOs. Investors worry about investing in the IEO because there is no guarantee which projects will worth to invest. The low reward IEOs have to be reinstated if the team want to fascinate more investors to the project.

If they are taking place on a good exchange then no, they could be very profitable. But if they are taking place on an exchange outside from top 10, you can just forget about your money, because they are ending without any success.

We shouldn't think about exchange rather than the project. This bad idea, and not good way to invest, big exchange gives the project trust, many go to invest due to this project for example in binance, and forget to research about the project.

if you compare it with ICO at this time IEO is better, both of them maybe can attrac people but ico has more potential to scam other.
but IEO can also make rekt people, while it hit market, the price is drop faster,not all market provide good ieo.
and for now IEO already less desirable, will ICO will take it back? or another way for collect money for fund raising a project ::)

IEO's not bad all the time, but it is risky investment. However, IEO is better than ICO because it is more attractive to investors and it is very good on raising money to the project. If the IEO will be joined to the top exchanges, I'm pretty sure that investors will gain a lot of profits.

for those who are registered on a small launchpad I think a lot is bad it's just for a large launchpad for example binance, houbi, bitforex or others I feel safe so if you want to follow ieo I think it's better to just focus on big launchpad.

Even though we all know IEO investment is a risky one just like ICO. But the main problem in this system is that most often projects that want to do IEO on certain exchanges outside of the top 3, they get rekt because all the other exchanges use a lot of fake volumes to be on CMC's top list and their IEO fees are so high that we have seen many projects have been destroyed by paying those fees and end up collecting less than 10% of their target amount.

I do not believe IEO after several failures. Major exchanges specifically inflated the price of new projects to attract new fools. Small exchange often cheat their investors and not to give them money.
So it turns out that one way or another all the IEO is based on deception, and it's not the best place to make money.

IEOs aren't bad in the sense that the risk of people not getting what they have paid for is reduced and also coins get automatically listed on the exchange that is doing the IEO which is by far better than icos where the team would have to request for listing for another waiting months.

Although IEO carries many risks, it is still much better than ICO. One thing for sure in IEO is the tight listing with the exchange, which gives investors peace of mind about the liquidity.

True as you said, ico, ieo and sto are the three methods carried out by project developers to sell their tokens so far, but of course the three methods have advantages and disadvantages of each, so if we compare between ico, ieo or sto, then ieo is a bit safer for us to invest in a project and of course with the existence of this IEo can again make developers more responsible in developing their tokens in market exchanger.

IEO is not bad, it's just that there are too many exchanges that make lunchpad. so investors are confused about which exchange they want to use. especially now that new projects prefer IEO, to collect development funds rather than ICO. too many exchanges and new projects. this is the problem now, because only IEO in the large exchange has a chance of success.

Both the ICO and the IEO operate in the same way.  But IEO is considered an upgrade of the ICO when the ICO is gradually dying in the market because there are so many scammer.  IEO will protect all benefits for you if you have any doubts about that.

Both ICOs and IEOs can make a profit and also result in a loss.  IEO has a difference in that the project is initially monitored by the exchange to which the IEO project token goes.  Exchanges like BINANCE are most likely to value their reputation and will not conduct IEO dubious projects.  Regarding the ICO, the situation is a little different, you need to do the study of the project yourself, since the probability of the success of the project or not worth contacting depends on it.

If you want to go for the larger exchanges, then be ready to pay huge amounts as listing fee. Exchanges such as Binance and Huobi are asking insane amounts as listing fees. From what I have heard, Huobi is charging a few million USD per listing and the fee charged by Binance is in the same range. And the promoters will be losing this amount if the fundraising ends in failure.

IEO is not bad, but recently IEO projects have been making less and less profit, but so far it makes sense to do them

Ieo are not bad at all, intact it is much safer way to invest in a project than ico imo, with ieo you are sure your investment is protected and a guaranteed exchange for trading, unlike some ico that you stand the chance to lose your money if the team decided to be greedy, also can take a very long time before listing on an exchange.

Binance doesn't require any listing fees but rather they do choose up the coin according on a strict criteria
https://www.binance.com/en/support/articles/115000822512
Listing out on big and top exchangers wont really be that easy- if you were not able to pay up millions then you do need for your coins to be worthy to get listed.


This is the main reason or difference between IEO and ICO that's why majority of investors would see IEO is more better yet exchange listing do directly happens.

IEOs have their good side and their bad sides. The good side is that project owners can't find it easy to scam investors because they will be subject to checks before their project is listed on an exchange. The bad side is that some investors will prefer to buy an ieo based on the prestige of an exchange than the viability of a project.

You are right, people are after the profit to be made thus focusing on the exchange hosting the IEO than on the actual project. The end result of this is; first the exchange, in this case major exchanges gains more popularity as well as making more money, in the long run attracting more IEOs. Secondly, the project whether good or bad ends up having a successful IEO, if it's a bad project, investors will lament but have no one to hold accountable while giving more negativity to the nature of IEO. However, by rating most IEOs now, it is evident that majority aren't living up to expectations because as soon as profit is made, investors moves to the next; but if it's a good one, they will stick around.

Yes, of course they will choose IEO in the large exchange because they don't want their money to be invested in a small exchange, so IEO in the small exchange will not reach the target easily.

yup! it is true.
i don't want to judge a small exchange badly, but in reality a large exchange is the safest for IEO and i think a large exchange is also more profitable.

as you said IEO in a small exchange will not reach the target easily in contrast to a large exchange. so, most investors will choose IEO on exchanges that already have big names.

All probit IEO projects are scams. You should stay away from it as far as possible. Never try to invest in those projects because you will surely lose money

I like to know if they have a scam accusation here in the forum because I check the site, it seems like it's a liquid exchange with over $40 million trading volume. https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/probit-exchange/

I just noticed that there are a lot of new exchanges nowadays that just popped up with a great volume, I wonder if the volume is real.

Actually, IEO is not bad, it's just that the confidence of investors in stone project investment is still declining and has not increased. of course because there are many scam projects that make many IEO projects also affected by the current condition of the crypto investment market.
IEO is still very early, there is still much to be developed and if successful, it can foster a trend of re-investment in new projects.

Just treat this as a new type of earnings, a year ago to choose a project you had to study the team and re-read the whitepaper in order to draw any conclusions, as well as study the token economy. Now you just need to look at the statistics conducted on a particular IEO exchange and draw conclusions if it is profitable to participate, and if not, then not participate and the exchange administration is involved in all of the above matters.

YEAH, it is way too far to compare, BINANCE reputation cannot be compared on what YOBIT is having now.
If investors will choose an exchange where to invest, then, there will be a hundred percent of money going to binance,
or if i will be kind to Yobit it will be 99%.

An Initial Exchange Offering, as its name suggests, is conducted on the platform of a cryptocurrency exchange. Contrary to Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), an IEO is administered by a crypto exchange on behalf of the startup that seeks to raise funds with its newly issued tokens

An IEO is still technically a form of ICO, but the main difference lies in where the coin or token is offered. As you might be able to guess from its name, an IEO offers tokens through a partnering exchange, rather than directly to investors

It's a pretty decent explanation you have. To add up, it's better to choose IEO projects hosted by trusted and top rated exchanges like Binnance and yobbit to reduce the risk of scam projects.

John McAfee? Are you serious this person will help a project,.. man, you don't know his reputation in the crypto market, his tweet cause a lot of panic in the market when he endorse coin, it was his magic in the past that really cause the price to go up but I don't think now he can still do the same magic, and one thing, I haven't seen any project that is successful which is supported by John McAfee.

With an IEO you would like to think the exchange does some half decent diligence, which should mean they are less likely to be a scam compared to ICO's. Also as the exchange has their name loosely linked with the IEO, you would like to think they would choose projects with at least a reasonable business plan.

Basically IEO's are like ICO's but on average, should be safer.

Personally I'm not touching anything unless it blows my mind, which is highly unlikely.

IEO is a trend that many people choose in this discount market because they don't know which coin to invest in to make a good profit. I think IEO is becoming a trend to look forward to in the future and top exchanges will have more strategies to attract more customers so don't worry and should learn about IEO. Of course there is still a bit of risk but if you have great knowledge then any investment will make you happy

Right now IEO is not as profitable as it used to be. IEO is dying when the market is continuously bleeding, I haven't seen any profitable IEO for a month.

Figuratively, those IEO's who's being held from small/unknown exchange is not showing any profitable results, this bleeding market surely affects how investors thinks about opportunities, some might invested to solid projects who are suffering and taking the opportunities to hold more then wait for the time that the market bounce back and get much better value. Most are down higher than 70% from the last time high.

and why not  ? both yobit and binance are exchange therfor they can always be comparable to each other . you can only say that they cant be compared to each other if one of them is different or not an exchange site  .  now in comparing them , we can easily see that binance is more popular than yobit   .   

depends on the investor  . a real investor will not be blinded by the light/truth . he wont foccus on how good the exchange but he will foccus more on the ieo because that is the one that he is investing with  while most of them is i think will mainly foccus on the exchange because thats how they define ieo or how good ieo was when compare to ico .

IEO is okay, as long as the exchange has been established in the market for a years. Just like what you had stated in the above, Binance and Yobit, even lots of people think that Yobit is not a good exchange, I could say its one of the stable platform in crypto industry business. And besides IEO as we all knows its really trending, just make sure you check it first before partaking in.

Agree, as long as the exchanger who organizes IEO has a good reputation, I think IEO is a good investment place. IEO organized by large exchangers gives more profit and I think our goal in investing is to look for profit

IEO is much better than ICO, because tokens are at least provided by some exchanges. reduces the risk of buying these coins. but the scammers have not disappeared and continue to deceive the people with the help of IEO

the ico customs of tasks as offering use with the initial release of token for investors might gains with use on spares as shifts with difference to returns with more on collection with funds on possession and manage with use of terms with work on practice as preparing use with service on offers with future terms of deliverance.

Your question is very good and there are really a lot of speculators looking at exchanges, not analysis of the project. This is a general situation and that is why IEO projects have recently been bought by many investors but the value still goes down and they suffer losses.
Some people took to the bitcointalk forum to complain that they had put their faith in the wrong place and blamed CZ.
So this is a great lesson for investors just because of their popularity, we need to be more alert because this is a decentralized market. The risk is very high in every transaction!

I don't think that ieos are bad. At least when its come to fundraising its better than most of the icos. But it matters which exchange is providing the ieo and how good the project is. Most of the ieo in binance or okex are profitable if you buy it for profit. If you are a holder then ieos are not for you.

that only happens to amateur speculators. Those people are usually lazy and don't like to read much but want a lot of money, so they always blindly speculate just because the project is in cooperation with Binance.
This is a deadly investment and they are often the prey of whales. I believe that after these failed investments, they will realize how important the project analysis is. because there are non-IEO projects on Binance that are still successful like CIPX, BQQQ, BXY, UDOO, ...

IEO is a solution that makes investors feel safer in this market but there is still a lot of risk if the project is listed at a small exchange. As far as I know, IEO projects at small exchanges have a failure rate of over 90% and that is why we should be more careful in investing. Everyone wants to make good profits but if you don't have the knowledge then you will be the first to lose money.

I often analyze some of the new projects that are available in this market and if you do not have the opportunity to participate in IEO at the major exchanges, wait patiently because you will probably buy a cheaper price than IEO.

That depends on your goal, if you want to hold it long term, of course you can do that.
Some IEO projects failed during the early stage while some pump, but it doesn't matter if you will go for long term.

The thing is, most investors now are looking for short term as this is what they see in the market, they see it as good for short term investment since it's a high risk investment, bitcoin is the face of the crypto when its not stable, that says its so risky to put your money in the future, but also if it succeed, the reward is also good.

To invest long term may not be a problem for some people.  There are only a few projects that have great upfront opportunities and survival.  Most of them go down so deep and that will cause problems for those who invest.  Another thing that might happen is the difficulty of rising from dump prices and eventually it seems to rot.

Too much supply maybe? when IEO was used to be really few people are even get in line just to get the ticket for joining the IEO but now so many IEO released. Although it's arguably true that IEO currently is not as good as it used to bee (i mean the profit) but it's still not as bad as other option of crowdfunding where you can just get scammed away when the devs doing exit scam.
Atleast using IEO the exchange is betting on their reputation and if the project is such a massive failure the exchanges will also take the blame, because of that the exchange will be reviewing every project even further and whether it's profitable or dangerous for them or not.

Now it’s such a time in the cryptocurrency market that it’s better to do IEO than ICO, because ICO is almost a guaranteed failure, and if you will do IEO on top or at least on well known exchanges, then success is guaranteed and you can collect at least softcap or even hardcap, therefore let it be better for companies to conduct IEOs and raise some capital in order to improve and promote their product than conducting an ICO, from which there is almost no sense left.

Most of the IEO in binance get high return. But  it will not guaranteed that it will give always a good return and it will not happen for long ,you dont know when the project might failed. IEO is just a trend now but remember when ICO is in trend most of the project funded is also get high return its only stop when there is many scam project arrive and destroy the good reputation of ICO.

IEO still worth but not for long time, sell soon after listing without have hold because price down and never come back to higher again, you can invest in IEO but just small amount.

Yes this trend of only looking at exchanges launching IEO will surely overlook the project itself. Nowadays, investors are in belief that IEOs launched on reputed exchanges are always good. But in fact, that is not the fact. Launching IEO is only a means of collecting funds to fund a crypto idea. The merit of a project should remain forever.

can be said yes, because at this time the exchange is famous and does not experience the same thing many projects from both offerings that are currently not promising, for example, yesterday binance had to offer a project ieo (band) but when the open trade the results were considered quite bad because it fell from the initial price , while the exchange that is not very well known upbit holds Iso and the results when open trade the price can exceed the Iso initial price so in my opinion this depends on the Iso project being offered.

If we compare between ico and ieo, I think ieo is a little better now than we invest in ico, because if we invest in an ieo of course the risk of fraud will be slightly reduced, however, we cannot avoid losses if the ieo project does not have development at all after their sales are complete, and of course this will cause the price of the token that we buy at the time of Ieo, will experience a price drop that is quite drastic even could reach below the Ieo price. So between ieo and ico doesn't have a big difference for those of us who wants to invest.

dont forget that there are IEO that start with ICO first after tryng and see that they failed in ICO, they decided to moved to  other  option and  that was to start an  IEO . I already see many project doing This ,there are big difference but if the exchange donot review a token before listing in IEO you might also be lost.

Yes, this is only play for big exchanges. Buying tokens on Latoken, Exmarket or VinDAX doesn´t make any sense because they can´t bring enoug credibility to the token sale.

Yes ICO time already dead because at this time I can't see any ico project and investor now following a project which already have been added IEO. In fact lot of biggest investor want choice IEO like exchange binance, kucoin and at list popular.

Before, During and After IEO, exchanges showing their support to projects.
Exchanges meet projects with their users. There are IEO teams of exchanges and I am sure each project are examined in detail.

IEO projects can damage the reputation of the exchanges. SO Exchanges must be very careful while choosing and managing the IEO projects.
After the IEO they must also track and follow the project team. Reputation is very important at crypto.

So what I am thinking is IEOs are good way of ICOs for users.

Your idea is a little bit contradicting. You tend to accept the title-are IEO's bad? And then you'll create a contradiction on your next statements.

IEO is not that bad although there are some numerous exchange that will scam even the project.

I'm pretty sure that every exchange that are reputable or popular enough will definitely trying to review the project that they gonna list. When they are hosting IEO the project must have been reviewed and maybe the exchange also has already meet the developers in person.
Big Exchange like Binance as I see never have a scam project, they are doing a thorough review just in case. But, if it comes from a third rate exchange then there might be a problem regarding the IEO that they host, maybe they are just grabbing money and not really trying to host a quality IEO.

ICO and IEO go in the same direction but IEO is still trusted by investors.
The downside of this approach is that too little IEO pump will entice fewer IEO players.
 IEO has changed, the old way of playing is no longer suitable, we should also change to adapt to plan accordingly, rather than rigid a nostalgic strategy is very difficult to make a profit.

It is like a middle man service that is how I see it. So the earnest is on the trust you have and the faith you have for the exchange. The exchange has its reputation in the line which I am sure it won't want to ruin especially if it is a long-standing exchange. I think the longer standing exchanges have more to lose and are more likely to be more successful or at least less likely to be a scam. I can't see why any scam would want to or could recover from a huge scam they ran. People will never trust them as much and they will lose huge trading volume. So with that a the line people are more likely to trust an IEO.

Supermarkets: are they good bad?

You are asking the wrong question. The important is what are you buying there. Both Ethereum and Bitconnect came from ICOs, are ICOs good or bad? Who bought Eth at ICO price and sold at 1k usd got a huge profit. The project is alive and evolving. Other people lost everything holding Bitconnect. Use your brain.

Yeah, this is somehow based on the credibility of the exchange and it is not bad at all. Based on my experience, good exchanges like binance would never host a shitty project and that is the reason why investors trust too much on their IEO. But if one shitty project get pasts on binance launchpad then it is over for binance, they will lose investors.

You're right, and I agree with you brother. IEO does not want a project basis that immediately goes to say that it is good, because I have seen a project campaign under the IEO program with the exchange being IDAX which is actually included in the top 10 or 20 exchanges on coinmarketcap but the coin or token is listed in idax, its zero volume and the other is 1 sats or 2 sats the price value. This means that the value of the coin's product is really important to keep its price in the market.

We can't say that IEO is good or bad, and that it is better than ICO in all aspects. But one thing is true - IEO is more trusted due to a reliable intermediary, exchange. Tokens don’t go directly to the smart contract of the investor by stay on the exchange contract. It ups the chances of losing money due to a hacking attack or other fraudulent actions. IEO is high transparency, higher safety and high liquidity. So, I choose IEO.

IEO is much better than ICO due to high quality exchange filter

Just because the exchange will check the project does not mean that it will succeed. And that's the problem. Inexperienced investors are guided only by the fact that the project is credible. But they do not check at all whether he has a chance to succeed.

It has been like that, IEO is just an exchange approving the idea of a project making a crowdfunding from the masses through their platform. There's no such thing as 100% when it comes to investing.
Even all those exchanges are only approving based on the legitimacy of the project and NOT because it has a promising future for most of the cases.
People just need to realize that IEO can't live up to what people has hyped up in the past because it's basically ICO but having partnership with exchanges.

so far in my understanding of IEO it's been good .. but all the things we do there must be positive things (advantages) and negatives (deficiencies).. many of us find EO on the big exchange, but after IEO is finished the tokens are finally not listed on that exchange anymore and they prefer other exchanges that are not too big to be listed. so investors must lose their money because the specified market does not have a large volume to trade. hopefully in the future all IEO implementers can list in the market where they make IEO ...

Whether it is IEO or ICO, there is risk of the project failure and fraudulent acts. It is the cancer of every system that spreads and causes panic and bad reputation to the public. IEO could sound like safer but it won't guaranteed that 100% will the project succeed. If the exchange is very popular, many will follow the IEO but since it is an investment, risks can play their role. It will be all go down to how long will be your faith to the project.

i don't think so, because IEO and ico is not much better, but IEO just have support from market where project launch IEO than conventional ICO.
 and investing money in IEO is make investor money safer because escrowed by exchange

nonsense. good projects will definitely choose a good exchange, of course, the exchange will filter out IEO projects that will be listed, because the reputation of the exchange will have an effect as well.

someone's assumption that if a large project / really real will definitely choose a famous exchange. but there are also some large projects that choose to be listed on a simple exchange, maybe the reason is they want to work together. basically the IEO or ICO project aims at an investor to only make a profit, but the presence of IEO is preferred because it is more guarantee and profitable.

I believe that the question of choosing an exchange should not arise. After all, you need to participate in IEO only on proven exchanges. But that doesn't mean you have to trust them completely. Always worth doing your own research.

This is true because investors always look at the exchange for the coin . They believe that other investors too would prefer to invest in such coin listed in a high volume market. But sometimes these are not good coins but the popularity of the exchange can keep sustaining it.

Most of them are great, IEO is upgraded version of ICO and I think it has some better features when compared to ico

IEO is really an upgraded version of ICO but most of them are not really good as you think
some of them don't have good purpose and a lot of them is a scam
after getting the money from exchange sometime the team will just disappear

IEO is really much better than ICO because most ICO projects are scams and unsuccessful, that is why most investors and bounty hunters have stopped participating in new projects nowadays. I think IEO aren't that bad because some of them are good, but some of them are still don't have any good value in their exchanges.

IEO is not bad, bad is the exchange that launched the IEO, my advice is to try to buy IEO in exchange, you should know which exchanges are worth buying IEO, of course the first choice is Binance, then Kucoin and maybe Bittrex

Apart from that, it is true that IEO which is listed in large exchanges, especially Yobbit and Binance, in my opinion deserves to be followed. not only because of credibility but because parties from large companies like Binance will not offer a bad IEO to their investors.

Investors feel relax to invest an IEO, they will know that actually what exchange can be success this project, they have best option to invest or avoid it. Exchange hosting is good option an IEO.

Actually ICO is not like that, you will worry if you participate in any ICO because what happen about exchange listing who's know that, too much possibility to exist scam end of the day, ICO lost reputation for many scammed projects.

IEOs can be a good investment as long as the distribution is fair and the exchange is reputable. I like IEOs on LaToken and ecxx.
