If I am not mistaken, by the end of 2018 the ICO project has been abandoned by many parties for various reasons that have emerged and turned to the IEO.

IEO is the order of the day, now all the projects who failed to raise funds during their ICO have switched to IEO for them to be able to continue the project. They don't want to abandoned the project because of lack of funds.

the fact that many investors do not trust investing in the ICO because the ICO deceived them in every way and now the IEO appears, investors certainly choose to invest in the IEO rather than the ICO because IEO has good quality from the ICO

The reason why most investors are now opting for IEO is that, ICO is being taken over by scammers unlike IEO. ICOs are  not reliable now.

In my own opinion there is no difference really about the two as they are still all about crowdfunding. The only edge IEO has over ICO is the fact that there is usually no delay in listing the coin after the IEO on the same exchange.

That's what's happening right now, we are seeing less ICO and more IEO's in the market, so if a company wants to launch their own crowdfunding for THEIR company or project, they just look for a better option than ICO and IEO IS THE ONE THAT SUITS THEIR NEEDS.

Many told me, especially my friends, that ICO has now been defeated by the IEO, it turned out to be true. Why do I say that right, because besides my friends around me, my friends here also say that IEO is better.

Few months back the trend was between sto security token offering and ico initial coin offering now the trend has shifted and has become about ico and ieo which Is more preferable. Well I don't have any reason to choose ico

The most important bonus of IEO's is that it gives investors a medium of trust. Seeing that a coin is backed by a large exchange, makes people believe that the exchange has done some sort of due diligence. It also guarantees a liquid exchange when the IEO campaign is finished.

It is without a doubt a superior way to gather funds for projects, and a lot more trusted by investors

It seems to me that many people just do not understand what the difference is between IEO and ICO. just IEO is like a faster process to lists a coin on the exchange.

There are number of reasons why ICO ends

1. Ridiculous valuations, developers got greedy and people are no more interested, Hasgraph private sale deal are flowin around now because investors are getting scared they won't get their money back

2. Scams: The number of scams in the space increase greatly and with the support of these so called crypto influencer investors were getting scam

3. Exchange listing: it is getting extremely difficult to get listed on exchange because f the huge exchange listing price by exchanges.

And if one look at all these point IEO solve most if not all

They hardly get funded and so many projects failed to at least reach the soft cap, investors are abandoning ICO in place of IEO, it's quick profitable and guaranteed listing for a project, ICO will soon become a thing of the past if there's no regulation that will happen.

Definitely it will be initial exchange offering,  there came a time when most ICO project weren't ending Well and as such the Need for IEO,  many prefer IEO because it gives them the confidence that after sales, it will be listed in the particular Exchange that carried out the IEO.

in my opinion it has not been abandoned, it is only a lack of enthusiasts, especially now there are many types of fundraising such as ito, sto etc. It's just that for the moment ieo is becoming a trend, but still some people still invest in ico

The problem with ICOs is that the market gas been flooded with so many coins and most of them are scams, so it makes that the ones that are legit and actually tying to do good get rooted out and die out, with IEO it makes it easier for the ones that are serious to be out there and get noticed by the ones that are interested in investing them, ii really think that ICOs are just a thing in the past and just a matter of time it will get replaced by IEO because i give more assurance to the people investing and not just false promises and than get scammed.

This is true, some projects which failed to raise funds during ICO now turned to exchanges to run IEO since that's the new craze in crypto space. But IEO is better than ICO since there is surety of listing and investors believe team is verified by exchange.

And this time it has increased a lot of its demand and those people have abandoned it last year came back again to participate in the IEO. That means if IEO was changing a lot. A new mechanism gives more confidence to the investors to put their money in any IEO.
We need a new trusted mechanism like this one and investors will always invest their money.

You have basis on your conclusion regarding this matter.
Good IEO projects are mostly found now in reputable top exchanges.
But as I've noticed, still there is no assurance that a project launched in big exchange like in BNB will greatly perform afterwards.
The continuity of the project depends greatly on the team behind them.
Though we can consider that IEO projects is a step above than ICO, yet you should still do your own due diligence whenever you want to invest in those projects.

ICO & IEO
ICO Is Initial Coin Offering in which project offers coin in it intial price then the project launch in exchange but in recent years fake ICO are in the market. Thats Why people are very selective in ICO.
IEO Is Initial Exchange Offering in which project Already deal with Exchange And launch its small volume in exchange at Lowest price.but there is twist people who want to buy the IEO token they hold exchanges native coin.& to claim token they need tickets & in which some getting coin or some just wait.
some of popular IEO'S CELER, BTT, XCRYPT.

yeah that is right, because 2018 is a bad time ever ICO project that is so many scam project.
that's why people want to move out and born a new trand that is IEO.
IEO is not newcomer but the popularity is start now.

Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) has a very high chance of success it's  because it is already and surely listed on exchanges and less chances of scammers unlike Initial Coin Offering no assurance if the ICO  is scam or not, weather will be listed or not.

Appraisal of people is indeed only projeck listings so far and is able to reach more than the sales price. without prioritizing the basic concept of a project. this is just a hype if it continues like this. people don't read the program but believe it will go up when it's listing

actually the ICO has not been left by investors but ICO very rarely is there profit for investors and now the IEO is present with a more guaranteed quality aspect from the ICO so investors prefer to invest in the IEO, but don't get wrong when there a quality ICO, although it is a bit a little ,investors will take that moment

It's not surprising to me a bit that a lot of persons are leaving the ICO market and now investing in the IEO market, this is why the crypto sphere is so cool, nothing remains permanent, once something better than the previous one emerges, automatically the community moves to that the better one, we have a lot of scammers in the ICO space today and this has result to a lot of persons losing huge amount of money in the crypto sphere.

Yes, the activity of ICO has so far fallen greatly in its popularity due to the large number of fraudulent projects that have just now paralyzed this activity. However, this is all temporary. As states begin to regulate the ICO, the popularity of the ICO should again be restored.
IEO projects also have their drawbacks and checking these projects by the exchanges does not save investors from possible fraud.

The evolution of token sales in the last years changed a lot. ICO market is full of scam projects, IEOs come and take care of the investors but it will be replaced sooner or later from my experience. This year is boring for investors and they are aware of market coniditions, so I don't expect a big development in the projects due to the mentioned reasons.

I prefer IEO because after an IEP, you are sure that the token would be listed in the exchange shortly and liquidity is almost guaranteed, unlike ICOs where sometimes you will have to wait for over a year before the token is listed on any exchange, I would pick IEO over ICO anytime, Moreover like you pointed out, ICOs seems to have been left behind in 2018.

The IEO risked the reputation of the project tokens behind the names of the big exchanges that held it, so it was considered far more reliable than the ICO. In addition, organizers will not be able to think of deceiving investors because they know that transactions can only be done through the stock exchange. That is, there are certain terms and conditions that must be met before they can use the funds collected.

That's true and by the END OF 2019 all the crowdfunding will be hosted either on IEO or it the company is an STO, the ICO's have too much stress on both investors and bounty hunters it had to go, millions of dollars have been lost and all these scammers have not been prosecuted.

yes.  today, IEO is very popular.  ICO has a big financial risk.  like the developer goes by bringing all the assets of the investor.  and sometimes ICO only creates coins that have low value.  some of them even become rubbish coin.  and that make disappointed investors.  today investors choose the IEO.  so they can buy directly on the exchange safely.

the simple words is IEO is a transformations from iCO
but, we  must doing our research on any IEO project mate, because there is no guarantee if a successful IOE project will success in the future buddy

ICOs are not less risky than IEOs if there are no strong figures behind that project. Disappointment begins where teams don't apply the time frame updates stated on the roadmap and bounty hunters run to dump as fast as possible. Two reasons are enough why ICOs fail.

i must say that there are project nowadays are into IEO and also those projects from the past ico are coming back because of this concept.. its a good way to earn funds and also a point that the project is already in the exchange

IEO is just a new shoe that ICO's wears on.

Nothing changed besides there is an exchange now as a middleman. So i don't think it is worth discussing on.

I think the investors have a lot of losses in ico because there are projects that you have listed in exchangers dump the price so when they were in ieo and not ico they would rather have it than ico because big the difference between ico and ico is more stable the price when it comes to round 2 ieo.

I agree with you .  IEO brings a new experience to all investors and it reduces a lot of risks when investing in new projects. In my opinion, the presence of the IEO has caused many scammers to feel miserable because they can not make money this year and i am sure the IEO will be a new trend that people should consider investing in a this time because the profit it brings to investors is very big . Maybe many people will think differently from me but on the positive side, IEO is much better than ICO

There are only a few real investors now. At the time of ICO they were, but as now, the ultimate goal of any investor is earnings. It is naive to believe in the goals specified in whitepaper, wait and hope that the project will start working. IEO immediately gives you the opportunity to make money on the exchange.

If were ask between ico and ieo i will choose the project that can give me benefits and the project that can bring huge profits for me like Dencoin tokens they are in ICO but their project is good and potential altcoin offerings so i will go in this project.

just found another way to make money - IEO, after a while and it will not be effective and will look for new options

This two kinds of fundraising are good but it depends in the quality of the project that offers ico or ieo,the fundraising is good but we can't assure if the project is good also so before joining any of this you must  do research and study about the projects so you will not regret in investing.we are here to make profits not to losse again so be wise.

IEO is not new. They existed in 2014, were on different exchanges, for example, on Bittrex.
But called just ICO, not IEO. All this projects dead now.

The reason is obvious, that is ICOs dealt a heavy blow of scams to investors and they (investors) had no choice than to go for IEOs where they are sure they will be served better while their funds is secured. With the rate IEOs are springing up I don't think ICOs will ever have a future again.

you're wrong. very soon, people will realize that IEO did not give any guarantees for investors and most likely this format will also will not be interesting for people

Not all ico are scam but most ico are only failed and ended up getting postponed due to lack of investors which was also due to the current market condition  . After we end the year 2017 , the market have now gone bad and the ico are the ones that are totally affected with it  .they gain bad reputation and ico investors are now migrating to ieo or any other investment business but i believe that ico can still recover once the crypto market had recover  

So many ico get scammed in 2018 so they change up by their own decission to turn to IEO, IEO is good also to buy coins from their favorite exchange they will pick.

There is no doubt that recent blockchain startups have shifted attention from ICO to IEO because of its failure in late 2018. IEO is now the order of the day as regards fundraising. A lot of projects in late 2018 have recently embrace the idea in order to raise some funds before exchange listing.

Investors must look something that really profitable to them, i think they wouldn't care about anything, as long it can make them profit, they will join. Maybe that is why IEO really boomed for now.

at present, many investors have reduced their trust in ICO and prefer to invest in IEO. Learning from experience, many ICOs are scamming and fleeing money from investors, making ICO less attractive. IEO is increasingly attractive to investors because there is rarely a scam even though many IEOs are currently on the exchange listing, the price has gone down many times

Well because the ICO in 2018 was a lot of fraud so there were no more investors believing in the ICO and now turning to the IEO which is again the current trend of selling on certain Exchanges especially if the big bourse will run out in a short time.

What matters to you the most, when you are discovering new solutions? Cause as for me, I look at practical use cases. Have you heard of Auditchcain? In few words, Auditchain is the world's first Decentralized Continuous Audit & Reporting Protocol Ecosystem for financial and operating disclosure assurance for enterprises, non profits and governments. And they are having IEO soon - on 14th of June on ExMarkets and so far demand is pretty high

Any proof to this information? Until now the ICO project has been running, you can check on the bountis section there are several project who still use ICO to promote their project. Which mean, there are several parties who still trust to this way and maybe there are many investors too who believes this way. If the ICO project doesn't use by some parties then there are no bounties who still use this way.

Good afternoon. Is it a new project? Cause to tell, the truth, seems that I haven't heard of them so far. But according to your description, sounds pretty interesting. Where can I read more?

Well, I would probably recommend you to have a look at their website or check leading ICO rating platforms as Auditchain is having high marks there. And they are also members of DCARPE alliance with many other companies. As an example, æternity will collaborate with Auditchain and other members to integrate its decentralized data oracles which will enable real time automated compliance with various financial instruments between counterparties. And all in all, in my opinion, the product they are building is truly advanced

You are not mistaken, looks like most investors if not all just closed the year with everything concerning ICOs while going for IEOs.
IEOs on the other hand are now popular and heavily associated with by investors reason being that to a greater extent their funds will be secured.

IEO makes it very easy for the project to get to the investors who have money as most of the investors and potential investors are also traders. On the other hand, investors can invest in any project without any hassle of transferring coins are joining any other sites from their preferred exchange. And in the meantime the exchange makes some money. It's a win win for everyone.

The ICO still trying to rises but that will be difficult to do because the situations are different than the last year. Meanwhile, the IEO comes to give new hope to the investors so they can invest in different projects. But the main idea was the same between ICO and IEO, and we still need to be careful to choose the right project.

Yes, its true that end of 2018 ICO's has been dried. At the beginning of IEO investors were much encouraged to invest on it. But if we see lately there is not much investors are not encourage to invest on IEO. That's means people's has been lost their faith from invest on new projects. So all are going same road. Just thinking to raise fund from investors.

Last year was a bad year for the crypto market where scammers then used ICOs as a medium to add more pain to investors, and which is why when they found the potential within IEO didn't look back in investing and today we have seen the results. ICO is no where to be found while IEO keeps stealing the show.

Not all projects will be able to transfer to IEO, especially the IEO by big exchanges like Binance, Houbi, Bitfinex, Okex, ...

yeah and now trend for STO has begun to fade, people prefer to launch an IEO to get investors and increase the number of their sales than STO.
now IEO are new hype trend for fear year again, IMO

The advantage of IEO is more investor confidence because the exchanges themselves are interested in the reliability of projects and analyze them themselves. An important factor is the possibility of a fast listing on the exchange.

Certainly because IEO offers more control to project investors with the exchange used servicing as a guarantor for the project startup company and the funds raise are often been held for a timeframe before releasing it, unlike the ICO that project startups have direct and uncontrollable access to funds.

I think you are correct with your analysis, as it seems to be last year that we tend to hear major things about ICOs. Even this year I came across a project hosting an ICO, then after a while I found out that the project has now followed the IEO trend, well i wasn't surprised because it was expected.
ICOs pushed investors away and IEOs welcomed them.

Now IEO shows very good results. But a lot of fraudulent projects are trying to attract investors again with this tool.

IEO was good but we can't deny that IEO is better tjan the ICO. Yeah, ICO now has a not so good rumor but ICO was still really good and until now the ICO project has been running, you can check on the bounty section there are several project who still use ICO to promote their project. Which mean, there are several parties who still trust to this way and maybe there are many investors too who believes this way. If the ICO project doesn't use by some parties then there are no bounties who still use this way. Like the dencoin tokens which operating with this project really get attach for having good kind of investment.

For the better of ico than ico because they have two other ico as far away as each phase or round is rising in price even though the round 2 does not increase the price so the difference between ieo and ico so much io prefer than ico.

We don't have to compare the IEO and ICO because they both have a differentiality. IEO makes it very easy for the project to get to the investors who have money as most of the investors and potential investors are also traders. On the other hand, investors can invest in any project without any hassle of transferring coins are joining any other sites from their preferred exchange. ICO has also good thibg to offer from its investor. So just like the dencoin tokens, so in the meantime the exchange makes some money. And for me it's a win win basis for everyone.

Not really, ICO's are still there and according to my view there are still many projects doing an ICO than IEO.

IEO is indeed better than ICO because it ensures the safetiness of investors funds also it is way less scam projects in IEOs but on if unless they are launching in a well known exchanges

IEOs much better than ICOs because all managed by exchangers. We dont have to make deep research before investing on IEOs. In ICOs, we shold make research about the project or team behind the project but in IEOs, we just make research about the project and the potential in the future

consideration between IEO and ICO, of course investors will choose IEO. however, we need to pay attention to the project that we will support. when a good project uses the ICO system, of course I prefer ICO. to date, ICO is still being used, and some projects may have surpassed the softcap.

That is right ICO project was abandoned and most of the investors are getting loss from their investment, now the IEO comes in most of the investors are transfer their investment because they believe IEO is good and backed up by the good exchanges.

Scammers are main reason why ICO ceased to be popular. But IEO on new exchanges also does not guarantee the success of investments, because may be exchanges themselves scams or may be the exchange Team haven't enough experience to work with IEO.

it is a means of getting back the trust of investors for projects that failed ICO. currently there are projects still running ICO and i wonder their faith. many projects have abandoned the ico method because of the scandelous nature. there are news that ieo is even fully trusted.

Yes many are switching to IEO ,I remember two ICO projects that I helped promote that later switched to IEO but ICO still exist till date and few of them are doing fine ,few meets ICO hardcap and few over softcap ,ICO still have the chance its not dead yet

Have seen a lot of topics discussing about IEO recently and it appears to be a good threat to ICO's, recently ICO's are becoming unpopular and it appears that a lot of weak projects that started the ICO last year could not continue to sell because the ICO method of fund raising is almost gone. I am very glad about it because it became more exploitative, all thanks to IEO

basically, all good projects already move to the IEO format and I think this is good, because they do not want to be out of trend

I am sure ICO will continue to make many projects switch to the IEO, and I am sure that if there are still investors who believe in the ICO project, it depends on the team and dev beliefs about the progress of their project.I'm sure the crypto path is still very long

This two are good but many projects are still choosing ICO to raise funds and that why i promote and i want this project the Dencoin tokens that are currently running a ico and we can invest at this project because this project is potential and good for the future.

Large number of scam ICO makes people think twice again to invest at there so that's why investors starting to abandoned it and basically IEO is ICO too but it was held by an exchange which is more safe than ICO's and indeed this year there was several IEO successfully and people can earn money from it because some people says it was more profitable and for upcoming IEO people are so waiting for that

However, the new projects now prefer the IEO rather than the ICO and there are even old projects that used to hold ICOs but now even make IEOs again so that the IEO trend is now more advanced than the ICO.

There are still ICOs but IEO is a good way to raised funds for them to start their project. I think IEO is the best choice for both investors and developers because investors have the assurance that the team behind that initial offering is legit and complied with the rules of an exchange. Same with the developer of the project, they can start asap for the development of their product. While ICO is too risky and most of them didn't succeed.

Most likely it happens because they chosen the trending platform to raise funds,but still the people have upper hands of choosing whether to invest or not.

My opinion will be just avoid these kind of IEO because they looks for more profits.

I think that's a natural thing because there are so many scammer who use ICO for personal benefit.
IEO is the right choice and also a little safer than ICO.

Yes right, and now ICO is no longer as popular as it once was, and is currently being replaced by IEO and STO, hopefully it can be better than ICO

Can't be sure with that?  Would be IEO  is a sort of market diversion and people think that this is safe from any form of scam which I don't really believe on it.  

As just like it happen to ICO before,  it shows great and profitable investment but from time to time,  it turns into a big scam. This could possibly to happen in IEO project soon. I hope it won't.

I agree with you, maybe we haven't found good and promising ICO, but ICO is still worthy of being an investment choice, I have seen fraud on new projects running IEO and this is a bad start when they are registered in crypto exchanges, there is still fraud in this new investment.

Well they are still trying to fix that, although that's definitely the exchanges' resposibility atleast the number of scam is not as much as ICO though, ICO maybe could be an option in the future, I mean it's like the unregulated form of investment however people would still prefer IEO because of the "legitimacy" I guess. Let us just see.

many IEO projects are more in demand now, but ICO still exists and now we know that if many people start to get bored with the ICO where sometimes scams are a scary thing, so I think the IEO can be an anticipation of problems that often occur in ICO

I recommend everyone interested in investments to take a close look at the IEO. Currently, it is the safest way to invest in cryptocurrency at the sales stage. So far there is no regulation and don’t even think about investing in ICO.

That's a big fact, investors are having a hard time to decipher if a project is good and legit because they are regulated, scammers are great in imitating good projects and investors are wasting time and money for this dubious projects, why remain when there are a lot of good options around like IEO.

Many people are fed up with the ICO's because they have seen many scam ICO's in the market and makes them lose their money. So now community members are focusing on IEO's because the research part is done by the exchanges.

Good project with good reputable team will always attract investors without hosting an IEO, IEO is expensive and the exchange could be hacked during the sales. Projects failing to raise enough fund through ICO and running to conduct IEO may as well be a suspect. Many useless projects are now conducting IEO, investors should be careful the exchange they participate.

many investors turned away from ICOs because of many scam and useless projects coming up through it and raising unnecessary funds from the investors without a good result. Now the IEO is trying to amend the trust again but we still see some disadvantage on the IEOs too.

for ico now it can be said to be abandoned, nowadays it becomes a trend and many people invest there because they can get a short profit, for the remaining ico projects only last year who have raised enough funds and are in the process of developing the project for now which often I see.

You are right in 2019, there was a transition from ICO to IEO and this is mainly due to the huge number of scams among ICO projects. Quite another thing with IEO projects, exchanges independently select projects and act as guarantors of the safety of investing in them. And practice shows that this is true.

IEOs are now in trend and there is no wonder, because people wanted to see an exchange secured before they invest their money and IEO gives such an opportunity to all investors. Trading begins within several days after the end.

Yes, but it does not mean the long-term success of these projects. therefore, it is important to conduct an independent analysis. and also to understand what is the period of your investing

ICO is no longer relevant at all. I see no point now in the ICO. As for IEO, this is now a good way to make money by investing in a project. Therefore, I believe that in the future, IEO will become more popular.

Most ICOs never get to exchange and when some do, they go below ICO price. IEOs are profitable, instant listing on exchange doing the exact profit margin ICOs we're known for in 2017 soon something better will pop up and IEOs will be over. Its all about making profit.

ICO is dead already .Initially ICO was created for good intention but the bad actors in the industry corrupt the system. So many cases of scam has been reported . Investors , traders have much confidence in IEO because most of them are evaluated before they are accepted in any exchange it will take place. Besides, the possibility of the Project getting listed in the exchange they conduct the IEO encouraged people to participate . Most ICO Project find it hard getting listed on exchangers.

The 'various reasons' you mentioned like : many scam ICO, many delay on roadmap, etc.
But the IEO itself doesn't give any guarantee that the IEO company will developing accordingly.
Many ICO coin value were dropping after the sale period, then the investors became pessimistic to ICO.

IEO is a modern form of ICO. It's like the diesel engine being replaced by electric ones. Though it would not be sudden but sooner or later 99% of fundraising would be through IEO as IEO is easier for investors to work with. They will have a ready made platform to choose which coin to invest in just like buying from the exchange.

Are you saying that IEO replace ICO? actually, IEO was not differ to ICO, they are both no guarantee to say that the token has a potential or not?
Just all I can say is that in every form of investment in the project has a risk involved, now since IEO was too trending so far it doesn't mean ico is not useful anymore, of course not! they are both still give opportunity to anyone here in the crypto world.

The only reason is investors cannot afford to  continue losing money on the dubious projects and they cannot endure waiting for months just to see if their investment will yield them profit, and most of the times they are losing badly, seeing their investment going down 50 to 80% of the price they bought the token.

I dont know but for me, since IEO is implemented by most exchange. ICO process has been demoted its way and more projects now are choosing IEO. Make sense actually, if ICO projects finished their token sale, still they will need to apply for exchange listing and this could be take so long while IEO listing is assured by the host exchange which will take effect after the sales finished and get traded maybe 2 to 3 days depend. See the difference, so investors will likely to trust these IEO more than ICO.

Greetings everyone. I wanted to talk more about IEO industry. In my opinion, the industry is becoming more and more attractive as solutions get evaluated both on our own and by exchanges. And I really love some advanced solutions that are currently conducting IEOs on leading exchanges. So curious to know whether you are participating in any advanced ongoing IEOs or waiting for advanced upcoming ones? Can you recommend any?

Good evening. This is indeed a great question. The project I would probably recommend you to have a look at is Auditchain. They guys are very widely discussed these days and are pure innovators in what they are bringing, in my opinion. Auditchain is the world's first Decentralized Continuous Audit & Reporting Protocol Ecosystem for financial and operating disclosure assurance for enterprises, non profits and governments. And they are also members of DCARPE alliance, a pretty famous one with many companies in.. Coineal was the company that has recently joined the alliance, for example. And they are having IEO in less than 24 hours on ExMarkets

Oh wow, sounds very interesting so far. Auditchain you say? Will explore more, probably I have heard of them from friends of mine, but cannot say for sure. Anyway, will get back with my opinion on their conpcept. Thanks for sharing

indeed there are too many ICO scams so that many people who prefer the IEO are the safest, but not completely ICO investments left because there are still some ICOs that can provide benefits

A lot of blockchain startups abandoned ICO for IEO because ICO proved abortive in late 2018 and a lot of projects failed woefully. IEO is now the order of the day and its been going smooth.

You are not in anyway mistaken, you said the truth. Many investors really abandoned ICO because they failed to live up to the reason they were created for. There were many scams and only a few turned out better, thus when IEO presented a better opportunity they (investors) moved and today, at least to an extent they are satisfied.
In my own opinion, I think IEO is better than ICO.

That is what happen i think most of the ICO project has been turning into scam and many investors are being afraid for their investment to be loss and sometimes the ICO project is not profitable at that time they decided convert into IEO.

To be truthful I will go for IEOs anytime anyday than ICOs. ICOs missed it when too much fraudulent activities started taking place which in no way was favourable to anyone but only the team hosting such ICO; at least 90% of ICOs last year were scams. Therefore investors abandoning ICOs were only trying to protect their funds.
Since this year IEOs have been performing well, at least 80% have shown good results which is why more investors are going in.

Exactly, many presumed dead projects are back alive with so much activities and this IEO seems to be the last life line for many of them to set things right. It is a better way to raise funds for projects.

It's not sometimes anymore but most of the time, the projects turned to nothing after a year of waiting, still a lots of existing project back 2018 which
still hanging being listed or already being abandoned by the team, no assurance that it will added and be traded to any exchange that available.

This is true! IEO is the new face of ICO, But it is far better than typical ICO! From IEO, at least everyone is happy. But the bad part is, Every exchange has added launchpad for the IEO,  even some shitty exchange like Dcoin, Exmarkets are offering plenty of IEO! Everyone should aware that not every IEO is profitable, go for a better one!

This is correct ICOs are not as popular due to far too many being outright scams or vaporware and this crowdfunding model is slowly being replaced by IEOs which can offer a better quality product and better assurances for investors including a professional prospectus just make sure you use the best launchpads only

We have to move on and just accept the reality now.

Market has to change as ICO as it has getting more popularity, the rate for scam projects are also increasing, people find a way to bring back the life in crowdfunding again, and that is the IEO, no way ICO will be popular again, unless it will be fully regulated and investors will see they are well protected.

right. The typical example is PDATA. In 2018, projects that sell tokens for sale in Q2 are all failed projects. they have mobilized capital but the price of ETH and BTC has slipped too fast and so they have not enough capital to continue to grow.
but the IEO has helped these projects to revive and also helped the market grow.

The help old ICO projects will get is the chance that major coins will grow again, like in ICO, coins use for fund raising is ETH, so if ETH will grow, that's the only chance this ICO projects will grow.

There are actually a lot of ICO projects that raise a decent amount of ETH during the crowdsale, but their value is slipping especially last 2018, team can still develop but as not as aggressive in the past, hopefully as BTC grow and might poise to reach a new ATH, ETH will also do the same.

The price of ETH in the beginning of this year has not increased much yet, only x2.5. But with other altcoin like LTC or EOS, it has increased by 4-5 times. I was waiting for ETH to release my big update, hoping that it would help the ETH increase

I am also waiting for ETH price to increase. I think it will as it is a great project, but I think the ICO surge of 2017 had a big influence on the price increase, so we may not see the same sort of increaase now that the focus has switched to IEOs.
But ETH is still the best smart contract system, and its use goes way beyond merely being an ICO platform.

if the update can attract investment in ethereum which will increase market demand. of course, the etheruem price will increase. for now ethereum is still growing slowly, but I am sure there will be a surprise later this year by ethereum.

People's greed, false hopes, jumbo tech words fueled the scams in ICOs.
But I can’t agree the IEO model is much better.

ICO projects are still existing currently, not of them are abandoned by investors.
But only the ICO who really provide the information about their team, have a good marketing activity, etc.
IEO is the way ICO promote themselves on some trusted exchange, so the investors want to invest on it.

Not all ICO projects have been abandoned by many people. I am very aware of this, now the IEO trend is indeed very famous because of the very high profits. And you have to remember that I'm not saying that all IEOs can be profitable, only a few of the big exchanges can be of great benefit. And for ICO, of course there are indeed many who do not believe anymore. Of all the ICOs that are currently there are certainly many ICO projects that are good and possibly very potential.

Quite right, the companies that conducted ICO and realized that through ICO they did not achieve anything very quickly switched to IEO and many of them were very successful in this, of course, much depends from the exchange on which IEO is conducted and from the companies themselves, from their technologies, product and much more is also very important for the success of the company.

IEO just another words from ICO, or maybe we can say if IEO just an evolutions from ICO my friend
same purpose, but different way,,
and a lot of people said if IEO is better than ICO, because the project will automatically tradeable on the exchange after the IEO finish and reach the cap

Hello there everyone. How often do you add new tokens to your portfolio? And what matters to you the most, while choosing such? In my opinion, it is very important to evaluate everything on your own before investing. As for me, I really love several IEOs, as ideas are usually much more practical. Curious to know whether you participate in IEOs these days and whether you have any projects to recommend.

This is true, indeed.. And I am also sure that solution should be valuable and real.  The most advanced IEO project I have met lately is Auditchain, I believe you must have heard of them if you are deeply into crypto. In few words, Auditchain is the world's first Decentralized Continuous Audit & Reporting Protocol Ecosystem for financial and operating disclosure assurance for enterprises, non profits and governments. And they are also members of DCARPE alliance with many other companies. As an example, æternity will collaborate with Auditchain and other members to integrate its decentralized data oracles which will enable real time automated compliance with various financial instruments between counterparties. And their IEO is active on ExMarkets, so pretty convenient :)

not at all, ieo create just to attract investor in a new way, ico is still exist buy yeah we have to admit it for now IEO is more interesting than ico.
but doesn't mean ico is no in demand anymore, and also all IEO is not good.

Icos are not reliable anymore because of the lot of scammers claiming to collect huge funds just to attract more investors and to get their money. That is why investors are more interested in IEOS on reputable exchanges.

Hmm, so far sounds very interesting. Will need to read more about them, but seems that they can positively influence the sphere and lead the industry they are entering. Thanks a lot for sharing :)

IEO is just the next step in the fundraising revolution. People just needed a guarantee that those tokens would be listed on exchanges direct after the token sale for liquidity. Without a serious exchange, there is no chance that a project can be profitable.

now many project are migrated from traditional/direct ico from developer website to IEO, and many exchanger are offerings IEO campaign even they are new exchange with low volume and liquidty, it's too risk for invest in IEO on platform like this

In general, ICO is useful means of crowd funding no absolute doubt about it, but right now, it’s image is seriously getting tarnished, and investors are not even helping matters any longer as most of them now focus on IEO which is shy we see some of these projects too that are not meeting up in ICO turn up to IEO.

He only little luck hunters have now, is that they still conduct ICO, raise the little they can raise, and then go to IEO to conclude it which is good for hunters because it shows that they will be able to get their money when it enters exchange. Still trying to see how ICO can still be fully revived again.

EIO gained more trust than ICO. Trust is the foundation of of a project. I think IEO eliminates more scam of a project from raising funds via cryptocurrency. They need to maintain their good reputation by carefully investigating token issuers.

will vote for the Initial Exchange Offerings because we all that the Initial Coin Offerings  have had many flops which have scared many investors away due to lack of trust and competency of many of the project

IEO is now in new fashion. But ICOs still dominate the market. ICO performances still seem more reasonable if we take a few IEOs out of Binance. Verasity completed its ICO, for example, and has recently received Binance DEX approval. So it doesn't matter to have IEO. ICO or not it doesn't matter, a good project would be successful!

I do not totally agree with you. It depends on the exchange that IEO intends to be launched. From my experience, some are even worse than ICO. There are some exchange that has launchpad that gives IEO a shot but yet they do not protect the investors as well. Exhibit 1, I know of a coin called ABX that launched IEO on Latoken. After the end of the token sale, the team refuse to list the coin on the exchange but rather up out for listing on one platform called Celio that have a lot of limitations when users want to make a withdrawal. Up till today, many investors are still in darkness

I think projects should invest in their quality to be able to sell tokens on exchange, especially large exchange

It does matters. The success of a project is not tied to being a good project. There are many great project out there but they could not gather softcap during ICO because investors are adamant to make a contribution. Getting listed on exchange platform for IEO give investors more confidence and also helps the exchange platform to get more new investors as future traders. However, I am very much concern about IEO on some poor exchange platform. Some of them you find it hard to believe they are exchange platforms or a fundraising platform.

This two are only way of fundraising and they are responsible for the losses and for the failure of our investments and it depends in the project but if your project ia good amd you will not regret and you ate actually get profits and i have a profitable project and this is the Dencoin tokens.

That's how IEO works when projects got the chance being offered inside good exchange the chance to get more investors are there while the impressions with ICO is getting lessen each time that passed, as more and more scammers are showing around and start projects where there's no concrete plans to  proceed and be usable in the long run.

Yeah in 2018 investors is abandoned ICO because it is fully of scam projects and take alternative investment in IEO.
IEO is now trendy because ICO is have a bad image and identic with bad project.
So do i, i choose IEO for my investment not ICO.

ICO is not able to get the trust of the investor as many ICO died before there full Launch. And now the company shifted to IEO to listed exchange to able to get the required fund. This is a new route for collecting fund and many companies follow this trend.

Yes you are right every investors have turned to IEO platform now because of the new truth given out by popular exchanges, I still invest in one or two ICOs cos I believe its not always about how the project raised its funds but how good the project is.

Good luck on that decision, I hope you'll be able to profit here, ICO nowadays just can't convince me and for sure lots of investors as I haven't seen any ICO project lately that is profitable.

ICO is slowly exiting in the market, those who run the ICO might loss their interest in the long run, but I don't generalize this, it's just that IEO is more progressive than ICO nowadays.

Yes. these are not potential projects, some of the projects I have invested in are great. But in 2018, it was a disastrous recession and many investors lost a lot of money at that time.
Project owners have to pay a lot of costs and their loss of funds is understandable.
and the IEO has truly saved potential projects. I'm really happy for this.

because in IEO campaign investor fund are safe because between investor and developer are escrowed by exchange when the project launched IEO.
this alternate way to invest in the new project, when our fund are safe and the project guarate listed in the exchange

IEO is a form of ICO but in a different way maybe investors have had difficulty believing in the ICO because there are too many scam projects in 2018,with the existence of the IEO I think it is more reliable because the tokens can certainly be registered in exchange.

Well, the fact that they are registered on the exchange does not mean that we can earn at least something from them. The problem is not in the registration on the exchange. And the need for tokens and the health of the project as a whole.

ICO and IEO differ considerably IEO has good quality than ICO in terms of exchange and concept in addition,investors are easier to profit from the IEO  than ICOs who have to wait long to make a profit

Every class of investors needs transparency in whatever they will venture their funds. ICO  is quite a non transparent means of Crowdfunding . Bounty hunters who play the role of marketer also want to know if any project is Legit and transparent before engaging with them. The truth is ICO has lost value, people have lost confidence it it even Bounty hunters dont work for any ICO project anymore. IEO is fairly Ok and trusted by investors and Bounty hunters because the exchange reputation will be at stake in case of any funds misappropriation.

Even with ICO you can make good profit by choosing the good project which has great growth in coming days. If minimum viable product is there in any project. I am sure it will reach the success for sure.
IEO is a another form of scamming traders to put their investment on new projects. If the token fails next day after it has been listed we will find the dump.

In my opinion, both segments are pretty interesting, however, as far as I see, there are many truly great IEOs on the market today. And in my opinion, also matters how advanced the exchange token is planned to be listed at is. By the way, are there any great and advanced projects you recommend me to have a look at?

Agree with you, there are truly attractive projects these days, but of course, we have to evaluate every particular one. As for the most advanced project I have met lately, I recommend you to have a look at Auditchain. Have you heard of them? Cause they guys are widely discussed these days. And they are having an ongoing IEO on ExMarkets exchange ;) Auditchain is the founding member of the DCARPETM Alliance and is leading the development of the world’s first Decentralized Continuous Audit & Reporting Protocol EcosystemTM for the digital asset and enterprise assurance and disclosure. For example, other member of the alliance are Shyft, aeternity, coineal and much more. You can just google to discover more. And I definitely recommend you to check more about them in the Internet :)

Hmm, this sounds solid, thank you very much for sharing. Will have a closer look shortly and get back with own thoughts, but for sure very interesting by now ;) And will also have a look at Auditchain IEO ;)

Yes, you are right! Most of the unfinished ICO in 2018 has turned into IEO! Because ICO lost its faith and transparency and IEO has more advantages than ICO! Therefore it is transparent, so anyone can see the sale progress! So, Everyone should participate in good exchange's IEO, Because bad exchange like Dcoin shows fake progress!

Or maybe ICO is not profitable anymore, that's kinda harsh but that's the truth.
People will look for project that has good potential and at the same time they also want to make it safer for them to invest, and I guess IEO is safer.

when the IEO was there, I thought ICO was no longer very attractive, except that the project was really promising, and very good. so much difference in ICO, and IEO. I think everyone will know when they see the place of sale. perhaps, ensuring the IEO is bigger than ICO.

Yeah, it's no longer a secret if ICO is getting abandoned. ICO was increasingly abandoned because in the ICO there were many scams that were very detrimental to investors. The presence of the IEO is like a breath of fresh air that the crypto currency will improve and be far from fraud. At least with the existence of the IEO, we can determine that the projects we are following really have the potential to provide benefits. Of course we will follow the project where the coins are clearly in the exchange market. Therefore, the IEO guarantees more benefits than ICO.

There isn't really much difference between the both of them except that one is being launched directly from the exchange and the other is not. Lots of projects these days are opting IEO these days but does that make any difference?? And does it mean that they are not going to have problem like lack of funds any longer?? Cause one thing I'm very sure is that people are able to sell their tokens once the project has kicked off, so what's the difference?? The price can still drop and lose value overnight. The only thing that IEO can be more safe than ICO cause most of them will be legit I guess.

more precisely switching, not being replaced. now the ICO and IEO are still running, it's just a different way of raising funds. besides ICO and IEO there is also STO.

At present ICO is slowly being replaced by the IEO, many ICO turn to scam and that make investor afraid to invest. IEO is a new way  fund rising for a project, and so far it has been going very well because it is supported by exchange.

yay i can see your text, and nowadays i see STO more than ICO and IEO, the reason you can see in other post on top

ICO is good for investing because it have a big bonus when pre sale but it full of scam project.
IEO is more safe than ICO and lauch in exchange but good IEO end in seccond.
But i prefer to choose IEO, now IEO trandy and make ICO on the bottom now.

Yes. They turned to the IEO because it was more reliable. Investors can buy coins directly on the exchange. While ICO, waiting for the distribution of tokens by the team. Because many teams fled after the ICO was finished, the confidence in the ICO began to diminish.

it was not replaced only now that investors began to see that being a participant from the IEO they could get huge profits and not wait too long to be registered in a place of exchange, unlike the ICO which was too long to enter the exchange and many were scam.

you are right now that more ICOs have been abandoned and turned to the IEO. because the IEO is safer without fraud, it just doesn't guarantee that prices will always rise after the IEO is finished.

both have huge differences in it and both developed in different situation right now the EOS is more profitable for the people to think about their investment more than their ICO that is the true also

But IEO still better, maybe people see on that thing. It is depends on developer about price of a project that listed on market. But maybe investor will get more suggestion and it really help them to pick project to invest.

The first question should be, what is the reason for such action or what are the reasons? Before people makes decisions, there must reasons.
Now to answer your question, by the end of 2018 it was clear that the rate of scams in ICOs was too much, the failure rate same and indeed investors lost much thus the reason for moving to IEOs.

ICO - will surely revive again, I am sure. IEO is a great option of fund raising, but ICO is a basis of fund raising in the world of crypto. ICO is more convenient tool for fund raising for many projects.

Your analogy regarding the concept between ICO and IEO is not right. ICO didn't die because IEO needs to rise. It's not that. IEO just became reality because of the failure of ICO. This was the idea of CZ from binance and IEO was made to diminish the scam that ICO brings.

This IEO is indeed better than ICO so we can take advantage of this to benefit from our investment because if we invest in ICO the risk is very big.
so for the time being I will choose the IEO.

in fact that ICO indeed made many people disappointed, most of them were scam so that IEO trend became everyone's choice now. looking for beneficial ICO now is like looking for needle in haystack

Yes, mate. Many projects have no money to come with a better exchange. Then what will they do by the people's money? I asked a team to bring their project on an average exchange IEO like probit, Coineal! They refused my suggestion because they don't have 3 BTC to come with an average exchange IEO! So, these types of project should be avoided!

Basically, the ICO or IEO has the same goal of raising funds. But if we decide to join the IEO, we have to do some research first about the exchanger that holds it. It would be better if the exchanger is a large exchanger and has a good reputation

Ieo is a better repacked ICO, a lot of the issues investors usually had like issues of scam, late listing or never listing, price dump after listing. Investors are now able to make profit investing in IEO, only problem is that in the top exchanges, participating is very competitive.

That's true and that's what really happens if there is no regulation that's going to happen to ICO we might see an end to it, so many failed and scam projects contributed to its death it's turned out into gambling you never know what project is going to succeed or not.

Indeed, today many people are interested in the IEO, but we must be careful when choosing the IEO. Just recently there was an article in the medium about the IEO scam at IDAX and I think there will be a change in mindset again about new projects that are collecting funds

choose only trusted exchanges if we want to participate IEO.i am so sad when heard this news cause i support this projects.but we have to make it as important lesson ,so in future we will not find again,

The IEO wave has taken over and it seems most ICO projects just don't want to be left out so they still organise IEOs even after their tokensales. Anytime that situation comes up, I don't think that means the project has been abandoned or the team have lost focus.

I don't think most of them, otherwise we see a widespread of IEO now.
Based on what I read about ICO, majority of it is scam, so they will not pass in IEO as I believe there's a certain requirement for a project to be in IEO and the exchange will certain do some investigation on the project you are offering, if they find it not worth enough, they'll not risk backing you.

ICO = self fundraising launching, IEO = fundraising in exchange platform.
If a new starter company want to raise funds, they need to invite investors.
To invite investors, they need to prove they are a real and not scam project. Trusted exchange can prove that with some method, that's why IEO more preferable.

Good projects are always supported by exchanges and that is why recent IEO projects always have great support from investors. I think this time is a very good time for people to invest because the market is on the rise, so investing in new projects is common. Now a lot of big projects are coming up and if you don't invest, you will no longer have the opportunity to get good projects because now to choose an IEO to invest is difficult because of the competitive buying rate high

I think ICO will die. Because in 2018 there were many ICO projects that lost their confidence from the beginning. These ICO projects prolong the time of capital mobilization and the listing time on the exchanges is not specific. There are projects that promise to be listed as soon as possible. But investors keep waiting in vain. And the IEO model has solved the shortcomings of ICO projects. It is the IEO that ensures the project is listed on the exchanges as soon as possible. Especially IEO projects on prestigious exchanges such as Binance bring big profits to the original investors.

Not really die though but dying, only small amount of project will still trying to hold ICO because some unspecific reason but IEO will be dominant way to raise fund in the future I guess, you see so many people are hyped over IEO because of their track records that's proven to be more promising.

I think this is a great procedure from the IEO provisions, they do not arbitrarily choose projects that want to use the IEO because they think that many of the ICO are not good just to deceive everyone in holding the ICO.
So for that, IEO is the best for investing everyone and seeing what markets they have entered when holding the IEO, maybe from that market you can determine whether it is good and you can judge for yourself.

Exactly, these are basic steps we need to follow in the market before investing in any of ICO or IEO and now it is a trend for IEO's so before investing we have to research about the exchange and their credibility in the market.

You might be right on this that there is no difference at all. The success of the project still lies on the team of developers and advisers. So, I think ICOs will still be here together with IEOs.

Having a good research always paid after investment has been done, if you are really aiming to lessen the potential of being scammed or wasting your time and money best to make a good analysis and assess every steps that you'll be taking choosing what type of investment venue that you'll going to take, both have it's potentials for those who have enough time to investigate and learned more about the project.

every projects depend on developers team work.if they could build usefull and adoptable product in crypto market , i am sure they will success in market and crowdfunding.no matter they will use ICO or IEO scheme.

As the ICO's have not trust by investors and hesitate to invest in ICO and also most of ICO's scam and investors lost their funds and now you will most of ICO's that was launched in 2018 noa launching their IEO in different exchanges,Investors have more trust on IEO's.

Some investors are leaning towards IEOs because they're thinking that it is more sucured avoiding those scammers in ICOs. However, IEO is not a perfect thing. There are things that makes it tirn the head of investors, which is the overall head costs of IEO is much higher than ICO. This high cost might be passed on the investors.

You mistook the idea of ICO and IEO. ICO DIDN'T TURNED TO IEO. It's just that, IEO is like a new idea on initial coin offerings. In which, the exchange will hold the project on selling its coin. By that, we can have an easy listing of coins on that exchange and certainly more legit than having an ICO especially when the IEO is being held at big exchanges such as binance's launchpad.

IEOs seem more practical nad useful for the investors and traders since somehow they mean listing in an exchange already.

I think the trend now has changed and the investor has left the ICO and try are moving to IEO in the exchanges.
Maybe they are tired to see and invest in the ICO because the last time they invest their money, they cannot make a profit and they are only stuck to hold the tokens.
They need some changes to be back to make a profit again, and the present of IEO gives new hope to the investor, and I see that some of them are making a profit from the IEO.
I think we will see there will be many other IEO projects that will launch in the market and that will attract more investor to come and invest.

There are too much scamers offer ico! probably 90% are scamers open ico! so public now not believe ico anymore! so they are want to buy from directly ieo from reputable exchangers!

The ICO and IEO are some of the most familiar terms that we use in the crypto world and all of them are related to fundraising in the Blockchain platform. ICO and IEO are different methods to raise funds through cryptocurrency exchange and they all have their fair share of pros and cons.

That is not the cost, you have to hold exchange's coin to get the right to buy lottery tickets. Like the previous time I bought the IEO of Kucoin, although not winning, my KCS hold made after being paid 50% profit from KCS

If IEO really gain trust from investors maybe it will come again in a lot of project. IEO for now really hard to join because a lo tof people that interested and it always be done in only short time.

yes and most of the projects are bankrupt. No one would have thought that the price of BTC could go down quickly from 19k $ -> 3k3 $.
That has made many startups fail.
But recently, there was a exchange of fraudulent new startups. it's IDAX pro. They are cheating on 8 small businesses and keeping all the money that investors have sent to exchange.
We should still be careful about buying an IEO and always choose good exchange to buy tokens.

You said exactly. In 2018, many projects went to e-ICO. However, there is currently no suitable project being said. If they are coming to IEO, they are facing various legal problems.

From my point of view, much depends on particular project and particular solution. Talking about me, I usually pay attention to both ICOs and IEOs - the thing that makes one project apart from another is its concept

This is true. But more to it, in my opinion, you should always analyze how practical the product is. Kinda how you personally can benefit from using it in your life. Important component

Agree with you on that. And talking about you, do you have many projects you follow these days? Probably a few you can recommend? Of course, the most innovative and attractive ones

many people want to join and there are restrictions for participants. That makes getting tickets to join the IEO very difficult, especially in binance. for some exchange platforms that make IEO also do not sell out available tokens. only a few exchanges were very enthusiastic.

Not many, around 3 I do follow the most. Hmm, talking about the most advanced, I would probably mention pukkamex. Heard of them? Incredible ratings, many experts reviews and new concept. And the guys are widely discussed these days

Thats right, The ICO method has been replaced by IEO.
Because, IEO is more safe and trusted for the investors to avoid scam projects.

I still participate in ICOs despite the fact it no longer pays like it does in early stage of 2018. I really don't know much about IEO but I've heard a lot about it.

IEO may be a form of solution for many scam ICO projects. and that makes investors a little traumatized to invest in the ICO project.
but seeing the IEO now isn't too crowded like ICO 2017 which is very crowded with successful projects.
only a few well-known IEOs have been published successfully, especially in binary exchanges.

to gains with guarantee on investors to put of spares with funds on internet exchange and manage as fine to collects with beginning initials as preparing funds on works to manage with the goods and service of the development.

Many people stopped participating in the ICO last year. There were many reasons for that. The fall of the market, the collapse of ICO tokens. Perhaps that is why many investors began to take part in IEO as an alternative to ICO when it came to the cryptocurrency sphere.

Yes, of course. In few words, pukkamex is the world’s first leveraged cryptocurrency derivative trading platform that shares its revenue with its token holders. And what makes solution even more unique - they are easy to use for the beginner and powerful enough for the most experienced trader and in general guys are offering features never seen before. But of course, I recommend you to acquaint with what they are offering in more details right on their website :) Just google for them, pretty sure that you will be impressed with what the guys are coming with

The most top projects are choosing IEO instead of ICO as they instantly get listed after the Token Sale and they do not need to spend time and money on marketing as the Exchange is doing the advertising for them.

IEO and ICOs are basically the same thing because IEO is just an ICO done on an exchange and this means, both projects can be abandoned d same so it down to the project teams. This is why research is a very important in cryptocurrency investing.

ICO was increasingly abandoned because indeed ICO gave a bad portfolio. Many frauds from the ICO, the ICO did not properly promise to make payments, and many ICOs failed to register their coins in the exchange market. The presence of the IEO seemed to be a breath of fresh air because it became enlightenment for bounty campaign hunters and investors had new hopes of crypto currencies. Crypto currency became active and was crowded again after the presence of the IEO. At least this IEO has shown that the coins they created are really in demand in the market. Coins already registered in the exchange market certainly have a guarantee of success that is greater than the coins offered by ICO.

IEO is just another form of ICO. But IEOs are safer than ICOs. Looking at how Matic, Fet, Harmony flew on Binance, I dare say that IEOs are also more profitable than ICOs. The only thing to be aware of is that, when investing in an IEO, it must be an IEO on a well known exchange, like Binance or Huobi.

ICO is not much believed anymore now turning to IEO which is more promising with a lower risk, but choose IEO which you think is good with the launchpad in the big exchange so that there is no big loss.

I agree with what you say, but the IEO still cannot ensure that the funds collected are real. some projects that have carried out the IEO are suspected of manipulating funds.

Yes many new projects prefer to use IEO but there are few projects who still use ICO and they did very well ,IEO has lower risks compare to ICO that's why many investors prefer IEO too

IEO seems to be a better means of Crowdfunding unlike ICO.There is alarming rate of fraud and investors funds misappropriation in most ICO Projects. Investors now prefer buying IEO in a reputable Crypto Exchange because it gives crypto investors a new hope in Cryptocurrency investment.ICO is not performing well unlike in the past because it has been abused by some bad players in the industry.

I would say that comparison between IEO and ICO is like comparing Apple smart phone and NOKIA smart phone. This example suggests that though ICO might not be dead and might still be gaining some funds somewhere but IEO has been able to fully cover the market and if not fully, it has captured more than 90% of the market so obviously it is IEO that is leading.

I prefer IEO because IEO has more quality and lower risk because the IEO project is filtered by exchange, other it  when the IEO was finished, investors could immediately trade without having to wait for exchange

For sure a lot of projects have chosen IEO, because they are very hyped nowadays. IEOs gave people a guarantee that those tokens are going to be listed on an exchange within a short period of time. Thats why they are so popular right now.

What is your question? ICO has lost its popularity due to the fact that too many projects were scam. A huge amount of money was stolen and a large number of people were deceived. Obviously, as with conventional investments, people do not want to take risks. IEO slightly changed the rules of the game ensuring the safety of investor funds.

how do you actually try to differentiate the past from the present on your post? You created a topic on June 5th 2019 and you said by the end of 2018 the ICO project has been abandoned.???

Does that make any sense to you?  You don't need to sound like you are in 2018. And yes the IEO is trending now and due to the lack of trust and capabIity of the ICO, the IEO made things better

If you look at it now, IEO is probably the main choice for people to invest. And ICO is the second possible choice depending on how good the project is. The ICO was not completely abandoned by everyone, only the ICO was reduced because of the IEO present now which provided an opportunity to get a big profit.

The better part of the IEO is that we can see the real value of the collected money. Also we can see how much team is interested in the project's future. How many did they pay for launching, which exchange, how fast they collect money. It all takes a place.

I will certainly choose IEO to ICO anytime, a lot of reasons but the most important is that IEO's have a high level of certainty of getting listed in exchanges to trade than ICO's, at least one will have the hope of being able to have some values for bought tokens whether positive or negative unlike in some ICO's that eventually disappear into oblivion after listing

Well, switching from ICO to IEO is not that bad at all.  It is the team who can really decide about this matter. If they really wanted that their project will be successful then they should go for the safest ground. As a bounty hunter, I will still support the project I wanted to support whether it is an ICO or IEO as long as it will be implemented after the campaign.

The method of selling tokens through ICO was indeed largely abandoned by the developers team even though there were still some who sold through the ICO because ICO's reputation had deteriorated after many ICO scams. For investors, the IEO promises advantages and certainty of listing on the market, and that is because IEO is more attractive than ICO

ICO is being replaced by IEO because IEO is more trusted than ICO.
While after ICO there is still delay to listing on the exchange, but with IEO the tokens will directly can list after IEO period.

Because the project in 2018 has absolutely no results which makes the fighters in this role really disappointed or big hearted, because it is caused by the inability to produce project income by the end of 2018

I think ICO scene turned bad due to scams and projects that dont complete their roadmaps. But ICO itself isnt flawed, just investor need do proper DD and also projects need to properly assure and complete deliverables. Such as exchange listing, working product, team with proper background, existing community. In my opinion projects like Kozjin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5117095.new#new) is ticks the boxes.

I find it obvious that IEO much better than ICO. We have already seen many ICO scams and nobody nowaday believe in ICO.

Of those coins that I now have on my wallet, most of them are not traded on exchanges and, most likely, nothing will change. Therefore, the fact that the Exchange, in which IEO is held, scrolls the startup token, after the end of the crowdsale, is a big advantage over ICO.

various people are more confident about the IEO than the ICO. somehow so many people give reasons for that.

In 2018 there weren´t many IEOs. The era of IEO started in Jan 2019 with hype of Bittorrent IEO on Binance. After that Fetch.AI was announced and everybody saw the potentional of IEOs, so more and more IEOs come to market.

I think that now it has turned into some sort of nonsense. too many IEOs that no one buys on exchanges. I think that soon this format will disappear too

So how about those ICO's projects who had been stack from last year? Which is already raise the funds but the only they missed are to get list on good exchanges. Do you think they will have a chance to get list soon? Or they gonna make again another project that we call IEO.

IEO came instead of ICO because ICO began to rapidly lose popularity among investors. BUT the IEO may soon repeat the fate of the ICO the opportunity to earn here has fallen too.

Now investors prefer IEO. And I think the biggest reason for this is that investors no longer trust ICO. Especially in 2018, many ICOs were either canceled or turned into scam. Therefore, investors began to look for alternatives. And IEO appeared at this time. Because of the IEO being organized by an exchange, investors felt that the IEO could be more reliable than the ICO. And that's why investors started to choose IEO.

As some says that IEO is just an upgrade for ICO. And i think we would leave ico as for reasons that many projects just have turn out to be scam and fraud, however some projects that are still in ICO can switch to IEO for further development of the project.

The best option for fundraising as of now is IEO, which might also change by the time there is a better option and if some flaws begin to happen.
Despite how good it I'd and how easy it is to raise fund, investors still have to be careful, because not every IEO is profitable and not all is genuine.

IEO be the solution from exchanges team.after many scam projects occur in cryptocurrency market, the moment was very precise when they launched IEO platform.it give certainity that projects will listed in exchanges.the same condition not happen in ICO.team too long postponed exchanges listing and it make investors want get back their fund again,

If the project is good and trust worthy, then it does not matter whether IEO or ICO. It will be successful.

I really strongly agree that ICO is not completely abandoned. And not everyone also invests in the IEO. As the ganeshramk said, it all depends on the project. If it's good and very potential for people to invest, of course people won't see the IEO or ICO.
