IEO became popular at the beginning of 2019. Since investors lost their trust in ICO, they looked for alternative options to invest their money. IEO showed a promising future and provided a more secure way for them by listing on some popular exchanges from the beginning of the token sale phase. During that time, exchanges raised a good amount of money, especially in April. Unfortunately, the popularity of IEO was decreasing currently. Personally, I don't really know what happened in IEO and investors. I guess maybe some IEO projects also are starting to fail and get the same problems as ICO. Yeah, their tokens/coins are dumped pretty badly after the IEO phase. And it caused many investors to get big losses.

Look at the decrease of funds raised in IEO below.

According to the chart, in October and November, IEO seems to start decreasing in its monthly raised funds. It means the slump of popularity.

*What do you think, guys?

if you look at the written chart, we can conclude that IEO has declined in terms of the volume of investors. in that sense, the project may not show specific development, and from my point of view IEO provides security from the scam project, but does not ensure that the project inside is good and maybe investors are more cautious when investing.

I think it's because no new promising projects that interest people anymore, we can't expect good projects every time, sometimes things will surely get dried, IEO is still a good way of raising fund, let's wait till 2020 maybe new promising projects will show up then we can decide then

Just as the popularity of IEOs is soaring many small exchanges are also launching IEOs services to new project so that they can also mint money easily. The graph which you have shown is for the big & top 20 exchanges & frequency of IEOs conducted in particular months also varies. The investors who are investing with long term goal are only making losses and short term investors are dumping tokens taking profit when they launch on exchange for trading. IEOs are still popular method to raise funds & a lot of new projects are adopting this method.

Perhaps the issue is not related to ieo/ico but to new projects. How many successful coins/tokens have we won this year? Maybe as much as can be counted with fingers. Nobody trusts new projects anymore. There were ieos that reached hardcap through binance but they were a game that was only to make a profit, and soon they got their own price back.

Maybe this is because many of them fail in projects that run IEO on a low exchange so that it cannot last long when in the market and large dumps so that it can be an obstacle for large loss investors and is not trusted anymore.
But I also do not know whether this is also the influence of the market so that IEO has fallen several months later or investors have more coins that are already in the market.
But many projects are now not achieving success due to lack of developers or funds so stopping halfway.

if you look at the data attached I can trust, even though I have thought enough that IEO can solve the problem of project fraud but maybe existing projects are not able to improve the quality of which the results make investor interest decline, and I think also maybe the current trend is not support

Now IEO has stopped to be popular because investors saw how those projects that appeared on large exchanges also began to lose large percentages of their value. if this happens with projects that manage to get to list on exchanges like Binance, then how we can trust projects that conduct IEO on less successful exchanges?

Good thing. It's inevitable because IEO (or ICO) is a sham anyway. I don't know why people are still pouring them money in 2019. It should be dead since 2017 looking at how many of these "devs team" just abandon the project once they get the funding. The whole ICO/IEO ecosystem is clearly not sustainable. Without ways of forcing the devs to keep the commitment, it's getting nowhere.

The popularity of IEO has faded away for quite some time. And the further we move, the less popular this method of fundraising looks.
However, it is worth noting that all new IEOs on the largest exchanges will continue to be popular and profitable, while everything that happens on small exchanges will bring losses and disappointments.

Its because of whats happening to those coins after the IEO. Most of the coins on Binance have become pump and dump coins. They get pumped without a strong reason and then gets dumped. Its exactly like how everything happened with ICO.

it is a market game, it could even be a game from the developer himself. but just believe the pumps and dumps that occur are a natural problem in the crypto market. we need not be surprised, especially with new coins that still have a long process on the market. at least they can play a role in the market for a long time. not lost with the words the project is terminated and investor funds will be returned.

IEO hype is gone, that's sad but true... People are fed up with this and we need some other trends here in crypto. Maybe STO or some other new kind of tokensales will appear in the nearest future.

It may be one of the reasons. However, actually, there are many projects that offer promising concepts, with real case products. However, once more,, they are born in the bear market, they follow the market condition, and they always have its challenges in choosing the exchange, in maintaining the community, and other factors.

Yeah, probably true. Now, to determine "a good project" is very difficult. They may have good concepts, but, the projects can not survive in this bear market. Many factors influence.

Compared to the other crowdfunding, it may be still worthy. However, I only see from the data above that the popularity and condition of IEO are decreasing.

Almost investment kind from ICOs and IEO only keep exist and success not more two year and IEO become more shorter year to be success, fist time when IEO open with bigger exchange market price is dump and coin could sold out just few minute and many participants don't get chance for investing with IEO time because coin have sold out, for today many IEO failed raise hard cap and waiting more than one month for their coin sold out.

The chart does not list the number of IEOs launched on those exchanges as numbers too makes the difference in the funds collected. For and example, there were no IEO issued on Binance platform for November and December as they are too selective on choosing IEO. But anyway the popularity of IEO has certainly decreased from what they were a year ago.

Well for now I do say that the IEO is nothing to write home about for now maybe because the market is bad or because investors no longer believe in it. There has been many manipulation in the IEO including binance ieo so I expect it to crumble

Investors will glance at the IEO in Binance or in other large exchanges, if IEO is in the middle to lower market I am sure true investors will not see it let alone invest in a lower IEO because it will not return definite rewards, but IEO is dead now because of IEO in Binance, Huobi, Gate.io rarely does it so as if dead no longer interested.

Ofcourse that was been awhile since ICO's have a great year way back 2016-2017 projects and become successful but now it seems like even IEOs are much legitimate and safe for investors because it was been launch on exchanges the hype is in to get in and make profits and due to its high demand the price gets higher with the hype real traders makes money new traders loss theirs. The slump of the IEOs is already expected as soon maybe a new one will pop uo in the market and investors will jump in.

of course because there is no development and the pattern is the same continuously so it causes saturation regardless of whether the project is good or not, and most of the time the price has dropped very dramatically. Still waiting for the next trend that will occur next year.
is there a new way? or still survive on ico and ieo.

There is no proper planning in IEO after being listed the price decline faster, some still seems to be a scam project which is accepted in some exchanges. That's why its hard to trust even there is a guarantee that they will be listed as after that funding, it will be only like ICO, exit scam, no volume and value, a useless investment.

I noticed it some days ago that people are not talking much about IEO, Binance is not bringing a new IEO for a couple of months! Actually many IEO coin's prices dumped highly, where a few investors can buy from the Launchpad and only they can earn profits but all the other investors who buy from the exchange, they are facing huge decline. So, new people stop investing in IEO for a while, therefore I haven't seen a better project that offers IEO since October! So, it can be normal too that people are not buying shit IEO coins! However, I hope when the crypto market pumps, the IEO market will get refresh again! IEO is far better than ICO, so, I really hope to see it is live for many years!

like this. about the problem. IEO is the best and guaranteed crowdfunding event for funding issues because it involves an exchange as a fundraiser. and to remember, it's a project! so development and potential depend entirely on project prospects, teams, goals, ideas / innovations, how important they are to the public, and how much their liquidity is. the fact that is accepted at this time, there is no progress on projects that previously carried out IEO, even the average ROI flushed. IEO, there is too much manipulation in it and investors are now beginning to realize, to store value in the real.

I believe that the matter is not in the form of collecting toli funds, this is ICO or IEO, the matter is in the crypto projects themselves and their admins. I know for sure that if you launch a really worthwhile and necessary project, it will not make any difference whether to conduct an ICO or IEO, this project will raise enough money anyway. Another thing is that the admins themselves launch projects, just to collect money and leave with them. So in my opinion, the point is in the people themselves who create and launch crypto projects.

I'm not surprised considering most altcoins and cryptocurrencies in general have been declining in price for several months now, and it's hard for fledgling projects to take off in terms of price in market conditions like these. I wouldn't be surprised if IEOs, ICOs or whatever these initial offerings become named in the future start becoming more popular when things start to change, but people just don't seem as willing to invest into crypto as of recently.

With this visible decline, I think that investment trends in new projects are not being used by investors. maybe because bearish market conditions make investors rethink and also be more careful to invest in new coins. Hopefully this trend does not continuously because many people will lose their jobs and income

IEOs are not bringing in profits as they were used to in the beginning, It's the case I guess for the decline. Also these new projects don't offer much(They are just money grabs), We have so many products/projects but no users!

now smart investors do not even keep track of which IEOs are being conducted. they just chose a different strategy. smart people now just bought a lot of BNBs and get lottery tickets when IEO is held on the Binance exchange. they just need to have time to sell their tokens on time if their lottery ticket turns out to be a winner. The very simple and reliable strategy

Well, that's a strategy that investors do to buy a lot of BNB to get a lottery ticket because investors believe that someday there will be an IEO launch in Binance again so a lot of holding BNB from now on, I think it's a good strategy to rely on and many are waiting for they want IEO to be in Binance again.
Including me, I still continue to hold BNB in ​​the long run.

new projects that do not have a mature concept make investors reduce asking to invest in IEO, even though the IEO system I think is good enough to do sorting in security, especially scam projects. but when there were many who recognized IEO, the project could not develop their ideas well

No matter how promising the project may seem, investors are already doubting IEO since it was almost like ICO which has more scams than real projects. Of course investors will not easily put money to a project if they are uncertain of the return.

In my opinion, this is logical, because IEO and ICO essentially performed the same function, no matter what. This is the same as shoes and sneakers. It seems to be different, but it seems like one thing, but you can’t put one and the other on your head. It's exactly the same here. I knew that this would not solve all the problems.

Actually there is a big difference.
You should trust project when you join ICO. Because only important thing is just projects worth. And there is no one you can ask what is going on except project team.
You can trust the exchange which runs IEO. If exchange is good one, it is hard to list trustless project. For example, we can always trust Binance's IEO than many other ones.

So there is a middleman in IEO. And if it is trustworthy, project is also.
And I know that many exchange listed scam IEO's. So we won't trade in that exchanges anymore.
