When a certain model goes out of favor, something new comes out. In the case of token sales, it started with ICOs then comes STOs. A few months later, some people are rushing to join the IEO craze. Just when I thought I've heard it all, two new models came out. Just today, I read about STEO (Security Token Exchange Offering) (https://www.ccn.com/press-releases/dreamr-and-latoken-announce-first-us-security-token-exchange-offering/2019/07/03/) and OEO (Order Book Exchange Offering) (https://medium.com/@ETERBASE/worlds-first-oeo-a-great-success-cda41b66004f).

I appreciate the effort of these people to bring something new to the market but all these looks the same to me. Just a change in how it's being packaged.

What do you guys think will be next?

So there is a new one on the block eh?

I just learned about STEO yesterday in one of the posts here and now I got to read about this OEO.
I don't really know what's going to be next. These people will always find ways to attract the attention of investors.

There are so much models of fundraising and you never know what is going to be next. Some projects do not want to hold an IEO, because the prices are too high and still doing a regular ICO, some projects even with a big success.

They call it be different name but it seem the same thing as IEO.  Sooner we may call it Exchange Token Distribution and the first time who use the kind of term will make it look like they are the first to have done it but certainly its still what it is. People invest thru it. We'll soon lose track of this evolution and then facebook will have its own as well..

Agree with everyone it's just the same with a different name but props to them for being actually trying to be different. I heard that if you contact SwitchDex.ag (http://SwitchDex.ag) they can help with your IEO if anyone interested

I believe that will happen also. We will see 100 different forms of token sale.
I can't imagine a facebook token sale launchpad but anything can happen in this unpredictable crypto market. 

It's pretty clear to me. Next we will have an EIEIO.


Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O!
And on this farm he had a crypto startup, E-I-E-I-O!
With a FOMO-FOMO here and a FOMO-FOMO there,
Here a  FOMO, there a  FOMO,
Everywhere a  FOMO-FOMO,
Old MacDonald had a vision of a decentralised future, E-I-E-I-O!

Since many scammers in 2018, after that came various kinds of fundraising. I know their purpose is only to attract investors' attention and provide a sense of security in their investments, but project developers must have the initial capital to list their projects in raising funds in exchange.

I myself do not have a problem with various fundraising activities, as long as investors and developers can provide their own benefits and do not violate the rules of their rights and obligations.

Yes they are just different from the name, basically they sell tokens
Btw, the STEO that you read will be done at LAToken, I'm not sure of success because there are a lot of shitsales there

Every exchange is trying to sell tokens. Many exchanges use different names to sell tokens. For example: IEO. IGO. IRO and so on.

Just like the human evolved and created all the things based on their needs and also need to comfort their lives by making it more easier and more profitable that is why token sale evolved but the core idea is same they are selling their tokens to us.

In my opinion, the ICO and the IEO are basically the same, they are only slightly different in how to sell tokens. I see that only STO is different, but there is no clear regulation for STO.

I don't have any guess of the next thing that they will bring in the market, I'm just happy with all these development as what they doing is they want to improve the quality of crowd funding. All these improvement is give the investors the best protection and when they feel that, their confidence will go up and the interest on investing would also increase, which results to a better future.

The exchange sale are evolving according to the choice of investors but not all of these terms are mutually exclusive.
For example STO is a type of ICO, it's not necessary that every STO be better than ICO. And every STO are also ICO unless they are hosted on exchange which makes them IEO.
And now the STO being hosted on exchange are given a name of STEO. Many of the ICO also claims to be STO to sound impressive but they have no direct way of providing dividends to the investors like real STOs.

All things in our life evolve or degrade, so the sphere of cryptocurrencies is not an exception and evolves in the same way, changes and this is a completely normal phenomenon. If a new kind of ICO brings benefits to investors, the community and the project, then I support this change. For example, with the advent of IEO, the cryptocurrency market has noticeably quickened, and the industry as a whole has benefited from this.

To be honest they are just all the same. They all are issuing their tokens/cryptocurrencies. Whatever they do, they all just want money to fund their projects.

bring something new! Dont think so, Same thing with different names, they are inventing only new things to take money from investors  ;D, All strong coins are from 2014 and it funded from Dev money like Litecoin and Dash 8)
The altcoins Bear market is caused by ICO's bitcoin Ether rush then dump all btc eth token on market and leave investors broken for more than two years ....

Yes, its so similar, but like IEO, its gave the token/coin instant access to the exchanger, and this is good for short term investor, and also STO, its more secure than ICO, but sometime its just a cover like you said, the only purpose is to get as much money as they can from investor to fund their project or just exit scam after that funding

That song keeps playing in my head  ;D


I'm not really sure if we would call it an evolution. It is just like how a company rebrands its product and just add some feature to make it more appealing.

True. Its like the same soup naming it differently according to their own dialect. I think they just want to make it sound differently to make a different impact to new investors but people cannot be fooled, they will always put their money in what they believe to be profitable and reliable.

Indeed it does not change anything. Packaging new projects also propose to be unstable. I think the IEO model will soon depart due to the well-known incident with IDAX.  For me the most important thing is that the project worked. And he brought the ship and how it will be packaged does not matter.

Now most of projects make IEO for example you can check Moozicore on Coinbene ,others still belive in power of ICO so can't say which better, maybe ieo is more easy for investors as they can be sure token will be listed on exchange after ieo so question "when exchange?" will not be asked so much.

So far everything is going great on IEO many successful projects and happy investors are getting their money's worth, I wonder what will happen if there is no IEO, new projects will have a hard time getting funded for sure STO will likely become their alternative.

Well, yes, according to alternatives, IEOs perform their function. Helping projects to raise more money. And there are data on how many IEo projects have already led to x2 ?

Read up on what has happened on IEOs on IDAX. More and more teams are coming out talking about the exchange faking the volume.
I doubt that many investors are happy and getting their money's worth now. That may have been true with IEOs on Binance and other big exchanges but that's not the case on many other exchanges.

In reality, this project initially inspired confidence and everyone hoped for good prospects in the future.  That's just for most users who would like to trade MZG coins, the token is locked on and their dashboards.

Wow, am just seeing this today hope it will be a game changer. Nevertheless, the only thing constant is change; this is what humans are known for. When something comes out, a group of people will study it, find loopholes and propose a new thing which will either kick the previous out or enhance it. Talking about token sale, all these evolutions is to find a better working model which will suit all users of the crypto space.
Let's wait for it to roll out then know how it will be.

This is good and shows how innovative this space is. The truth is, one of the traits of a growing industry is the type of Innovations or improvements that springs up. When people got tired of ICOs, IEOs came to place and these ones, that is to say, this space has come to stay and will keep growing.
However, I will look them up to know how it works. Thanks for sharing.

people are not tired of ICO but they just found the more effective way to invest in IEO, but I also think that there will be other changes in the future

Everybody wants to get quick money. Thats why they are choosing crypto as there are not real regulations in place and anybody can scam anybody is the situation as of now. This is really killing the whole blockchain concept. In the long run, this wont help anybody.

in the end, those people who make stupid and fast money will lose what they have earned and only those who are trained and make efforts to earn money will stay for a long time in this market

There is only one constant thing in this world and that thing is change.. I have seen many acronyms associated to tokensale but the fact remains that all of them offers basically the same thing, an exchange called Velic uses IAO (Initial Auction Offering) while other exchanges uses IEO (Initial Exchange Offerengs).

But what do they derive new? They need your money. Do you think IEO is not going to be a bad idea and when investors in 2019 get a huge minute, let's say how the mood in the market will change in ICO?

This is the first time I read about this two new crowdfunding, this two new crowdfunding could be the one that we're looking for that will put the final nail in the coffin for ICO it's very innovative what I really like about this is when they say\
and LATOKEN is the exchange that will start this, will Binance and Kucoin follows.
