For sometime now all the upcoming cryptocurrencies are making a paradigm shift in our old ICO format and trying to do IEOs first. I know it's one of the best remedies for them even on this hard times in cryptocurrency markets. I want to know that is this going to help the upcoming coins or not?

 Also is it that they want to just make their monies and run away because now they think the easiest way to make people buy their coins is to do an IEO??

Very interesting buddy. I've noticed this and people are making good amount from this IEO. I think it's a nice idea especially when they do the IEO on a major exchange like IDAX. Now IDAX and Exmarkets are some of the exchanges engaging most in the IEOs.

Because the current IEO is the trend, as is the ICO itself at the end of 2017. Many ICOs are not eligible to conduct IEO on top exchanges, so they will choose small exchanges with easy conditions. than. At this time, investors will mainly rely on the reputation of the trading floor to decide, so I think that even if they switch to IEO, these projects still face many difficulties to raise fund.

yeah. once upon a time we were trying to participate to icos. it was quite possible to participate buying more fees. but now it is really so hard to participate. even you ahve 5 tickets, the possibility is less than 50 percent.

It would be difficult for scam project to get listed in IEO of reputed exchanges and every reputable exchanges do a basic research about the team and contact the team members personally. It doesn't mean there would be no scam, but it would take the scam project extra effort to get good exchanges believe in them.

A little help in my opinion.
Projects that carry out the IEO are usually 90% will be listed on the exchange that holding the IEO. So maybe for a new project there is no need to bother to think of the first exchange for their coins / tokens.

that's exactly what they think. They are trying to turn the same scheme of scam but through a different format. I'm not saying that all projects doing this, but at least those which run IEO on small exchanges

in my opinion ico and ieo the resemblance is very much and the difference is only from the way to buy tokens if i have to buy through the exchange provided, and for cases of escaping which is of course ieo still potentially if you see articles made by shitcoinoffering, they have discussed ieo getting a lot of funds and ending a scam, but some of them are indeed a little guarantee because the exchange does a fairly strict due dilligence so that cases like this won't happen.

In raising funds, probably yes. Exchanges where token sales where held would make sure that the soft cap is met because they can also be affected. Just be aware that there was an exchange exposed for faking the volume to make it look like the token sale was a success.

Yes, the IEO secures it from scammers. I think the IEO funds will be safe if it is held by exchange, the IEO will be better in the future and this will become a target of many investors.

what you suggest? We stick to the old ico where both the good projects suffer too? Well in every thing there is always the good and bad ones in it. But so far, the bad ones are just limited in IEO which makes it a better choice. The ico record more of bad than good which is why I will always recommend the ieo

Umbrella DAO are running a Decentralised IEO on Forkdelta.

Decentralised IEOs are the way forward. let a DEX handle the IEO. that way there is no centralised exchange to middleman the fundraising and it is the fairest possible way

please check out the umbrella DIEO

the exchange does not hold the funds, they do vet the projects heavily though, to ensure their customers dont get burnt buying a bum coin.  last thing they want is pissed off users. they want the coin to do well after IEO so they must check the project very carefully

I think that hype associated with  IEO on top exchanges will pass with time, as was case with ICO. But now this is actual and should be treated as a regular step in development of crypto industry.

hmm, You are right. Some People are trying to steal money in different ways. One of them recent IEO that comes from ICO, But in IEO people don't lose their money if the person remains active during trading start mainly in the high ranked exchanged. And obviously, we should aware of low ranked exchanges IEOs where have a chance to lose our hard-working money.

It will help alot the SALES of the project tokens.
This IEO helps to build the trust from investors and the team project.
ICO was good before until many scammers use this platform, now we just want to have more secure public anad private sales.
This will not help the project or the product, but it will give a stronger funds to the team to make the project more successful.

IEO has become a trend this year. ICO is basically hard to see. The main reason is that ICO scams were so many before. IEO can avoid fraud very well. So investors will choose more reliable IEOs. This involves exchanges. So it's very important to choose a good, reputable trading place in the future.

Personally i like this shift but i would like new members and investors to be careful and not to invest in every exchanges IEO, i mean reputation and trust has huge value in the online world so only go with top exchanges who you are sure that will not list poor or impractical projects or in other words only participate in IEO on top exchanges that you trust.

IEO is being popular now because of SCAM ICOs before!
People especially investors are afraid of some ICO and this cause failures to reach softcap before.
Now IEO is here and the shine of PUBLIC sale is coming back again!

IEO by itself does not guarantee anything to investors. Only by participating in the IEO on top exchanges with an impeccable reputation, investors have at least some protection against fraud. But in all other cases, the risk for investors is not much less comparing to traditional ICO. There were already enough cases when new exchanges were hosting IEO, and after a while their website stopped working

Many project are using the IEO model just to get fund and run, since projects have moved to this model, limited amount of the IEO has been successful, those that are using exchanges like latoken, idax and other shit exchanges are scammers also

Yes, Recently I saw Exmarket becoming much popular among the IEOs. Maybe there are fewer regulations and easy listing in Exmarkets. but im not much sure about it. Whatever exchange project must be good to be a success even it is an IEO.

IEO is the ICO 2.0. Since it's the ICO is held on exchange, this is way safer than traditional ICO which is prone to scam. Also it is easy to market because investors are confident so that IEO will meet their hardcap in no time.


No. IDAX is no longer a reputable exchange to conduct an IEO. They scammed for over 5 million dollars. One of the bounty(CMA) have joined claims that they have been scammed by IDAX. And I found out that they're not alone coz there are more projects break their silence and took a stand against this exchange.

An update to your statement above.

Even now, ieos are not as rewarding any longer as the first moments
Which is why lots of project are delaying their crowdfunding program. Ieo has exposed the poor exchanges and elated the good ones

Dyor always, so you can avoid runaway projects

I believe the industry needed a change from the normal considering how bastardise the ICO terrain was used. People got fed up with the incessant scams and half baked projects looking to rip off unsuspecting investors and it played badly on the ICO style of conducting token sales. With IEO which is the new wave of tokensales, people are more confident in participating because the process in run almost entirely by exchanges and this brings a whole of believe.

the simple reason for the transformation is the people don't have the confident about the investment on ICO that's why they are transformed into this different kind of field so that if their comfort zone in this investments then that IEO will not go anywhere it remains in the same situation

If they want to just make their monies and run away because now they think the easiest way to make people buy their coins is to do an IEO?? I think not true, because big exchange risking their reputation for project which using their exchange for IEO. So exchange will pick serious project

There is nothing bad with a project team conduction an IEO, inasmuch  as the fund will be geared towards the development of the product. The same is applicable with ICO, but most investors these days do not trust ICO, because it has really failed them, but that does not mean there are no good and trusted ones. In fact, some of them have proven that.

At the current trend, it's worth to shift to IEO. However, it should be on top tier exchanges platform if they wanted to be successful. There are still mid tier exchanges IEO being offered but what worry me most is that the possibility of running an exit scam is still there. So there is still no guarantee that IEO is 100% successful.

Most of the exit scams coming from fishy exchanges anyway, there's a ton of new exchanges created after IEO becoming more popular and they exist for the sole reason of hosting IEO so that they can make quick money off crowdfunding but their projects are really questionable.

I think IEOs will help upcoming projects get the required funds they seek because they will be promoted by exchanges. Furthermore the exchange in charge of the IEO have a big role to play, as there are exchanges which are losing their reputation while there are others that keeps improving so as to offer more IEO services. Thus it can be seen that to a greater extent the shift from ICOs to IEOs have paid off.

I am not interested in the IEO, there is no difference with ICO.
The hype is the only interesting thing there, then we only make new coins and then dispose of them quickly.

       So selling of coins is already in the exchange meaning this eliminate waiting on the exchange in favor of the investor and also scamming in ICO projects like before was totally prevented and this may help of crypto industry rise again .

It is actually helping them buddy. It helps on both sides as well..(I mean on the part of investors and then the project owners). Investors get to join projects that're somewhat safer, and then liquidity is better than before. For project owners, if they're lucky and get on a good exchange, they do raise quite substantial amount to carry on their missions.

I agree, the IEO benefits investors and developer teams. With IEO, a project can immediately be listed on the market without waiting for further negotiations with exchanger and investors can immediately sell or buy on the market. For the developer team, the IEO makes it easy for them because it does not require a large marketing budget and all are managed by exchangers

That is why we should only trust reputable exchanges  like Binance, Coinbase, etc. I envy and admire Binance exchange who are strict in accepting the requirements of incoming tokens. Hence ,IEO is much better project than ICO when it comes to security and will prevent scams from faking the project itself.

IEO is the current trend and we can't remove the fact that it is an ICO killer in a way that it is much secured and for sure that the exchange who will host will list the coin and of course, with these exchanges especially those good exchange they will only list or get a coin which they think can deliver results and will not run from its investor.

I see an advantage of this is that it will make some investors to easily trust the projects as their coins are already in the exchanges specially if they have reputable exchanges as their partners so i suggest that if anyone will join an IEO they should check the reputation of the exchanges first as the developers can easily dump the fake volume and can still easily run the investors money if they are ended a scam project.

Always been better to take your chances inside reputable exchange if you are also trying to invest with IEO, exchange will screen the project and the potentials though is not an assurance but it's also ads the possibilities that investors will be able to liquidize the assets after being release inside the exchange unlike ico's where you need to wait for long time.

Not entirely sure if it will help the token itself or not but the company and the exchange will surely benefit as it provides liquidity to the investors in a faster way compared to a traditional ICO. The issue with IEO's is that they are exclusive and requires a large amount of fund before participating. MTO  (https://medium.com/@StandardTokenizationProtocol/micro-token-offering-mto-3-d5a732475ffa)on the other hand allows us to purchase tokens that seems like its in the private sales price, but the good part is that its already in the exchanges.

To ensure any coin that listed on the binance is a good coin and will not deceive the investors and they must do that. Remember about the fact that so many scam icos and that's why binance must create very strict regulation to prevent it and that's the real reason.

Yes, because the IEO is also at stake the name of the exchange that will publish coins or tokens from the project, so investors trust the IEO more than the ICO, although sometimes the ICO is better than the IEO, but in terms of IEO security it is guaranteed to be safe even if not fully , and I personally also like the IEO.

They can do an IEO but if their intention is to run away they will a hard time getting listed in big exchanges for IEO, they have very high criteria and the only legit project can get in, they can do ICO but I doubt if they are going to reach even their softcap if they cannot show something good and they can show that they are legit.

An IEO is considered a more secure way to get listed on a cryptocurrency exchange compared to ICOs. The exchanges that act as the counterparties are typically well-known companies that are leaders in the cryptocurrency-exchange space. That being said, they have reputations to uphold, and therefore rigorously vet the projects that will potentially be listed on their exchange before underwriting the coin/token sales. And because the exchanges have their reputation at risk, the projects they hold IEO’s for will most likely be credible projects that do not lead to fraud.
I have shifted my Investments from ICO to IEO
nowdays so many IEO has launched and many IEO is good to invest to earn good return like moozicare many big personality is involved in this project according to me it will be the good idea to invest in it .
https://tokensale.moozicore.com (https://tokensale.moozicore.com)

Yes IEO has been a lifesaver of the good crypto projects which would have not been able to raise funds. Thanks to the exchanges which are conducting IEOs on their platforms for they have been instrumental in attracting many good projects. Binance is one exchange with a great platform called Binance Launchpad and every IEO on the platform has been very successful.

maybe thats right mate
but, remember the purpose from ICO and IEO is same, wich mean both just a method to collecting money from investors
so, people should do their best research before buy an IEO project

It helped the market recover in April last year, after Binance's first three IEO projects this year were absolutely successful with profits of at least 3 times. Making Bitcoin and altcoin surged strongly in late April and May

You are right, the easiest way is to do an IEO on a big exchange, because there is so much hype around IEOs at the moment and I think it is pretty disappointing. Even a shitcoin with enough funds can hold an IEO on Binance and will be traded at x10 after the token sale.

Shifting from ICO to IEO i think that right, because we need something new trend because ICO is unsafe to investors.
IEO is making batter to be an alternative chooses in cryptocurrency to investors.
This is a good shifting for me.

That's pretty interesting but I don't think that's the main reason when it comes to price surge. It may gives an impact to the investors because they may seem to like it than ICO maybe because this is less to be scammed IMO. Well, I'm hoping that this kind of program will be better and much safer.

I don't think they can get money and run away. IEO is guaranteed by exchange, Every projects that want lauching IEO is monitored by exchanges.

This is a safe method of calling capital for investors. They don't have to worry about losing all the money they invest.

the IEO concept is very good, but it has weaknesses if there is a fraud or market where the launchpad token is damaged or hacked, then everything can disappear in an instant.

IEO will still be at risk if you do not have the choice when it comes to investment and many recent IEO projects are having lower prices than the original and that makes IEO projects at small exchanges not attract new investors. I believe that the IEO is the best solution to make more profit but you need to have a specific strategy to do it because big projects depend a lot on luck.

I think the sudden appearance of IEO is an escape route for ICO's which in general was already declining in value and patronage.
IEO's seems to be a better alternative to ICO's and it is already gaining the interest of investors.
I hope the Exchanges make it extremely  difficult for scam project(s) to get listed.

New version means improved , advanced and secure. IEO is the new version which will make the scammers to rub their hands and gain nothing.

If these low projects can do an IEO in exchange, we can only blame the exchange where they held their ICO, the burden now is on the exchange, they should be more strict, and not let this low project to use their platform to scam people, or they will lose repuation.

In my own opinion regarding shifting from ICO to IEO, I can say that it really does make sense. To be honest, ICO has gone in a bad reputation after the boom in 2017 along with Bitcoin rallying to it’s all-time high. ICOs really contributed so far in the rise of cryptocurrencies last 2017, especially that most of them are running under the Ethereum blockchain.

However, ICOs are unregulated and scams are on the rise. I’ve experienced that with most of the investors in investing to some ICOs without doing our homework. But I was a newbie back then.

And here comes IEO. Of course, they have this so-called launchpad where startups can run their token sale through them in exchange of paying them listing fee plus commission on the total sales they have. The only risk for us in participating to IEOs is if the exchange isn’t reputable and trusted.

I would suggest staying away from IEOs whose exchanges are unproven. I would go for launchpads like Binance, LAToken, Tokpie, Sistemkoin, etc. Just my two cents.

Well, as we all know that the reputation of ICO was really on its lowest level due to many irregularities after 2017.  Loopholes were abused by scammers which made the investors scared to support projects even it is kinda promising.
Then here is the new IEO which offers assurance that scammers will not be entertained on their platform so I think there is no reason why we should not try IEO. As long as the reputation of the exchange platform is okay then we are safe.

I think the main point on ICO and IEO are still the same on formatting on selling tokens but IEO are using exchanges to sell all the tokens while ICO just need to send on the website or send on the contract address which for me on security IEO is great

There are not really hard times in the crypto-market. The hard times are only for the low valued shitcoins which don't have any future. IEO/ICO/STO are all the branches of the same tree. They wouldn't make a big difference. There will be literally a word that will be changed, the way of operations still remain the same.

Exactly!

Which project is listed in binance as shitcoin? You should remember that not all projects are eligible for selection. The project must meet many requirements from binance and only really good projects are selected

The launch of IEO is mostly due to the bearish market and lack of investors willing to buy from an ICO after various fake ICOs, IEOs is providing an alternative to ICO whereby a token get listed for trading sooner than it used to be with ICOs, and investors also tend to rely on the reputation of the exchange listing.

The main advantage of IEO is obvious - tokens are immediately listed on the exchange and security is much higher. But there are plenty of minuses as well, at least a very dubious scheme of implementation - it’s hard for almost all projects to get into an ordinary person, people write scripts! In ICO, this was not and everything was visible in the public domain!

The IEO is like a gambling game, people are no longer interested in the quality of the IEO, they just hope to be able to buy IEO and x5 x10 x20 assets.
IEO is really not good, it only creates garbage for crypto. Most IEO can only trade for a short time and will soon be forgotten and die slowly.

IEO is the new trend now and I have realized projects that did not get successful with the ICO are now doing IEO. Its a good idea and I believe it will help the upcoming projects. A lot of people are also embracing this new trend.

Nobody talks about investing in ICO anymore since everyone drifted to IEO. Even some projects which did ICO in the past started doing IEO and many have been successful via that means. Well, a project doing IEO doesn't necessarily mean that the token sale will be successful, it depends on the exchange running the IEO too. You can't compare how fast an IEO held on Binance launchpad sells out fast with that held on Cobinhood, just for example.

IEO is the easiest way to get listed on exchange + raise the funds, it is a complicated thing, but from marketing point of view IEO much more profitable. And as we can see there are only few projects are trying to do regular ICO and i think listing can be the problem for them, because IEO is the way of raising money not only for projects, but for exchanges too...

don't hope too much on IEO, after its be new trend ,nwe havow many unqualified IEO in small exchanges.i see it in several exchanges, and they could not collect minimal fund to run their projects.we have to pick IEO in exchanges that have good history.

Looking at IEOs or rather projects that has taken the IEO path in major exchanges, they tend to sell out fast thereby getting the needed funds to run their project. So, banking on this, I think the shit from ICO to IEO is a profitable one and will likely last more than ICO.

This has been a great shift from ICO to IEO and I must say that IEOs are performing incredible now than the former. You could also see that projects under IEOs are faster and convenient.

Yes, there has been a paradigm shift from the old way of raising fund know as ICO to IEO but I don't really see much difference about this new method. The only difference is that ICOs are being run on project platform while IEO are being organized on exchanges. IEO will surely help the real projects to develop in the future while it will only help the bad ones to scam people and run away with their money.

The shift from ICO to IEO can be used as a positive analogy about the cryptocurrency industry. It expresses how the market self sufficiently looks for ways to solve its problems and it portrays that it will remain as dynamic as possible till it attain high and best practicing standards  

The introduction of IEO into the crypto ecosystem has somehow transform cryptocurrency investment and some way reduce investors from being scammed. Due to this positive outcome of IEO, new crypto projects prefer IEO over ICO since more investors are currently into investing in IEO projects than ICO ones. This has caused most projects to shift their crowdfunding procedure from ICO to IEO to attract more investors.

I had noticed that recently Idax have an issues for scamming CMA, XCT during IEO worth millions of dollars but still IDAX platform was still on top of the exchange in the market despite of what of what happened. Then, Xmarket now arising its popularity through IEO programs for every new project comes out now. But it doesn't mean all community shifting now into IEO I think there are still people out there believed in the ICO in my opinion.

All the verification of the project to check if it is legit or not now lies on an exchange, if they allow dubious projects to get in and use their platform, they are going to lose their credibility on allowing projects to do IEO in their platform, I will not trust exchanges that let scammers use their platform to generate money from investors.

The introduction of IEO helped protect investors from fraudsters, but the problem of weak teams and weak projects remained. There are many projects that are not scam, but they are not promising and will not be able to bring profit to investors. Therefore, I think that IEO has its advantages, but we still need to carefully select a project to invest in before participating in IEO.

I think that step is one of the ways that developers are doing to popularize their new coins. so that new coins will be printed which is certainly to improve the current crypto market that is not controlled. IEO is a breakthrough that is worth trying because ICO began disappearing on several platforms because of frequent scams or fraud on some of the previous ICO platforms.

Do not ever underestimate people's desire to make quick money, when the ICO hype stated fading and people are beginning to learn how to keep their hard earned funds to themselves or investing in established projects instead of throwing it away to dubious looking ICOs, the trend of IEOs emerged and the lure of quick money became too unbearable for most.

I think they are just following the trend :D.

IEO is a trend right now like the ICO in 2017. Now IEO is a way for the token to become a successful in its token sale and an instant listing on that exchange. IEO's reduced the chances of the investors to getting scammed because the reputation of the exchange will be affected if the IEO will be a scam.

As long as there are exchanges you can trust and that care for their reputation (since it will affect their profits) People will feel much safer and investors and people using that exchange will be more likely to support them since they pay out their bounties as they should and have a listing already so investors are not discouraged to invest and left with coins they cannot sell.

The risk of crypto is always present in this market. New coins have a higher level of risk. I appreciate the transformation from the ICO - IEO. because it gives investors confidence, also helps spirit and love for altcoin back to us. crypto is still an open soil to make a difference. I do not dare to assert that the IEO will transform its profits better? But perhaps, the scam will go down and you can trust one of the good IEOs to find profits.
* A little objective. Please pay attention and consult Auditchain with an IEO at Exmakert :))

Actually the best way to get investors to invest nowadays is through IEO, because ICO seriously lack the trust of investors, and for IEO, the only platform that should be trusted by Investors is the Binance Platform or Huobi and maybe bittrex and very few other top exchanges that are in the market.

Other exchanges like you said are just after the money and there to scam too, that is why they don’t bother doing any due diligent on the products that they register and does not care if a scammer approaches them or not, but now that most of us already know this, we should never pay attention to some of these unknown exchanges that are registering IEO, because the projects being registered will still be products of pump and dump and not good for long term investment.

In the times when projects were struggling with raising necessary funds through ICOs, IEOs ensures guarenty the funds collections as expected, because of the userbase of that exchange. It's win-win-win situation for investors, projects and exchanges where it's planned to hold the IEO.

It is clear that people want to invest more in IEO than in ICO, because there are a lot of fraudulent ICO projects now, and there are much fewer bad projects in IEO

You are absolutely right. Upcoming projects are love to promote there coins/tokens in IEO. Because people trust good quality exchange more than a thread article or a website. But you also right about bad project. Like a bad project can sold there hole coin in IEO. Now this matter people all depends on an exchange which is not a good way for invest. So doesn't matter IEO or ICO people have to research that project before invest.

I think IEO is now becoming a trend and it seems like gambling because after they can succeed then prices will continue to fall, those who are early buyers will get a lot of profit and those who buy when traded will experience a loss ... they joined IEO many who did not see the product but only a trend because IEO is done in large markets

IEO has better hype than ICO, and moreover many IEO rise alot after traded in exchanges.besides give certainity listing in market it give us more security from fake projects.exchanges team have important roles for ieo success.

In comparison, the IEOs overweight the ICOs and the investors prefer to join the IEOs for the stated principles. The more scam projects appear in the crypto ecosystem the more investor confidence goes down. The simplest form of explanation can justify the bad situation.

I personally don't recommend any IEO which is from low grade/rank exchange as few investor invest in those projects which are conducted on low rank exchanges and in result no buy order put on exchanges when token/coin go live on these exchanges. Only try to invest in real project which are conducted on high rank exchanges.

There is huge demand for IEO fundraising but few good projects still use ICO and they became successful in their fundraising,i know IEO is a better choice for many investors but i will chose how good the project is instead of what fundraising platform the project use.

But the total of the bad projects in IEO less compared with ICO and that's why only IEO that has been running in the crap exchange site has a lot of potential to be the next worst IEO. But there will always be a huge chance for the big IEO that runs in the big exchange site will bring the investors to the lose too.
It's not giving guarantee about how much return will be acquired by investors.
