So, IEO is the recent trending topic in the crypto industry! People are very excited about IEOs, because, after a long time, IEO investors made a huge profit from it! But there is a problem too. By seeing the big hype and success of Binance IEO, many new exchanges are coming with their IEO sale! Therefore many low-grade exchanges are bringing IEO sale either! Do you think all those IEOs are worthy to invest? Hell no! Don't fall in the scam, don't be greedy! Most of the new exchange, low exchanges offerings IEO is nothing but a pure scam, they failed to raise money from the ICO sale, so they come in IEO to scam people again who don't like to read and research!

of course , just stupid people do something like that,
put their money to random IEO,
basicaly , most investor its already know enough about what IEO must they joining or not.
btw,just because binance success about their IEO its not mean another IEO will be success too
they must remember it.

Absolutely right, everyone thinks IEO is divine, but it is just ICO sale by exchange. And binance plays a big role in this matter. Later, other exchanges attempt it, but over time IEO will be like ICO.

I agree with you. Investing in an IEO is a very risky type of investment. Also, I'm not sure that these projects are of high quality and that people study the project well before investing. I do not invest in IEO.

Even though this period we are in seems to be the time that IEOs have gained popularity, we still need to be very careful. No matter how attractive it might look, perhaps with all the bonus, you still need to make your findings and do extensive research.

Yes i agree with you, we should beware about new exchange if the exchange do IEO. and for me, i only trust project which do IEO in great exchange, Even today IEO is great but that's not giving guarantee the project can survive sometimes project only survive in begining, then the price keep droping

It does seem's like this is true,
ICO's isn't attracting or having enough investors nowadays so they made a new way to get investors by doing IEO.
For me the scammers are also doing this and this is why it is so hard to trust the new names in crypto.

I agree with you mate, and I strongly believe that very soon this IEO hype drama will end! Because people are very smart now, everyone has a one-year bear market's experience! So, Before making any investment everyone must think twice! Not every exchange are binance, so by seeing the Binnace success story, plenty of exchanges are coming! How silly they are! We should spread awareness about those new Exchange with IEOs!

We're not supposed to invest into something that we don't clearly know and understand, dig up all of the needed information is necessary, isn't it?.
IEO is not a new thing, LAtoken is doing it earlier but the hype is not that high tho. Well if the current condition of IEO is very much profitable, I won't complain, I will just follow it because big ROI is a big profit.

Exactly my thoughts... Not all of them are what they seem to be and one has to be fully grounded in understanding their terms and conditions before fully jumping in to avoid situations where by their neglect could cost them dearly. Also, not every project that floats an IEO is worth looking at, you must be careful with your findings before making up your mind on participation.

i notice this recently that there are unknown exchanges and newly project conducting IEO because its the new trend now after having a lot of hype from Binance and now scammers made up some ideas to trick those investor so i highly recommend to all investors to make their own research to the project and if the exchange is well-known in crypto industry.

famous exchanges are now following this kind of new income-generating scheme. they call them launchpads. people should be smart enough to fall for this yet another kind of money-grabbing scheme. i noticed that most of these projects have no real technology yet, but they are hyping it up as the next big thing in crypto. i wonder how stringent is the process of accepting those projects in their launchpads? is it another money-making machine from crypto?

I agree there is a saying everything follows where the money is, so if there are tons of money to be made in IEO you can expect everybody to follow the trend and now, we are seeing this new trend in new exchange, so do your research if they are capable of holding on and how trustworthy they are.

I think what we see on IEO is already happen with the ICO which many people underestimate the named. We don't know if the IEO cannot get success or not because IEO is a new thing that comes to the crypto.
But if the IEO is available on the new exchange, then I think it's not worth to invest in the project because there is any potential to see the project will scam people. And if it's available on the big exchange like Binance, Bittrex, and Poloniex, then we might consider participating, but it's up to you.

Only fool people who invest their money on EIO from the unknown exchange. Better invest in IEO provided with a reputable exchange, you will have an opportunity to earn a profit and less chance to be scammed...
I'm sure crypto citizen right now is smart enough to choose the right IEO to invest...

Scammers are now lurking around us and finding a way to scam people through IEO. So, it's better to use your brain and not to put your money to some random new exchange. Only stay with the existed and reputed exchange's IEO.

Don't invest in the hype. It's just hype around IEO, relax. I think that soon everything will stabilize and the hype will end.

Thank you for warning me

The trend of changing the middle letter in the acronym of 'ICO' because of the bad reputation of it in year 2017 is so annoying, after some time later different kinds of new company that wants to enter the crypto world with their ideas decided to call it ITO(Initial Token Offering), IFO(Initial Fork Offering), IAO(Initial Airdrop Offering), IEO(Initial Exchange Offering) and maybe there would be an another bullshit ISO(Initial Scammer Offering). ;D

I feel pity for those people who are new in the crypto world and easily believe this kind of schemes.

Just the process of making more money,when people can understand the intention of those new projects then they will not invest on it,even IEO from binance have no assurance that it will going to be a big crypto in future.

Let's say one of the exchanges will recommend itself well in IEO. What about the fact that it will be very difficult to take part in these events?

You are right, even I am aware of the big exchanges too! Because if you look carefully, Binance IEOs was sold out within a few minutes and only a very few people could able to buy tokens! Who were they? A very few random people could able to buy, otherwise, all tokens were sold to the whales, people are saying about Binance own team! So, IEO is not for everyone, we should just forget about all unknowns, low exchange IEO, I even stop following the Binance launchpad too!  ;D

Of course everything ends sooner or later. In such an incomprehensible market, IEO gave people a chance to earn money and attracted a lot of attention to the cryptocurrency market.

This IEO all looks like first come first served, pump and dump. There is huge hype going on around them and I have heard whoever invested in IEO made profit but it doesn't mean projects will accomplish their goals and late investors will make profit too.

Thank you for the warning, it is good to know what kind of protective measure we can take to prevent a bad investment.

Yeah for succesful ieos we should stick with high volume top exchanges only like binance, houbi and may be kucoin but from my observation this ieo thing was launched first by cobinhood but as this ieo by cobin exchange was launched just around the start of bear trend it was not able to raise the required funds also the major mistake that cobinhood made was that they launched ieo without first doing marketing, growing their user and trader base and the liquidity, now its more than a year and half since cobinhood exchange is operational i am sure they can do better in this field and hopefully they will grow nicely in one more year.

I think the trendiest IEO is only in Latoken, maybe this should be seen and learned https://latoken.com/ico/ETH, I think the IEO and ICO are the same

Agree with OP. I have experience about Binance Launchpad, to be honest they had not distribute token to general users. Token hold by exchange or whales. They sold after pump. If users couldn't buy then what is the meaning of IEO? Is it not indirect scam? I am wondering to participate on Bittrex IEO then I could share my experience. But we should more careful about current IEO trend.

İ have enough experience regarding the token sales but new kind of ICOs make me think twice before proceeding the balance. Binance failed to launch it properly in my opinion, other exchanges will not be able to handle it properly.

It all depends on the level of the exchange. If the exchange is in the top 20 of the list of exchanges, then I consider it possible to enter the first IEO without fear, the exchange will try to pump the price of new tokens to attract investors to their next IEO. After all, if there is a price drop, then no one will go to the following projects on this exchange.

The idea of adopting IEO over a failed ICO may not necessarily be a scam because requifed funds limit has not been reached. I am more concerned on why Latoken seems to be among the first initiators of this IEO phenomenon but despite that, their tokens don't do x3 or x4 like other exchanges. Could it be as a result of poor exchange management principles

Those IEOs are just the new ICOs, don't be mistaken. But you can make much money if you invest right or through good pools.

Ever since the launch of binance launchpad IEO many other exchange have been trying to launch their own IEO and many scam exchange are springing up now so as to swindle investors money.  Its important that we carry out due research before investing

I also think that it is very dangerous to invest in an IEO on little-known exchanges. It is very risky and you can lose some of your money. I generally miss investing in an IEO, because there is no way to buy tokens on Binans or Huobi.
But it is better to wait for your chance to get into the number of investors on a large  exchange, than to invest in some kind of shit and lose your money.

Actually i'm participating some bounties of IEO project but the process of distribution was going to long.
In comes investment maybe it was to risky for them because this is new for them and they are hesitate to invest just like this IEO's.

We should do everything possible to checkmate upcoming exchanges that might be planning on starting up IEO because this is the only way they can actually carry out their scam activities, this companies can come up with things that might convince one to invest with them, but I think we should be very careful and also enlighten newbies about the likely ways IEO company might try to scam people in the crypto space.

it does not seem that only exchanges receive profits from IEO. ordinary people have never been able to buy tokens of new projects.

IEO's are not much worse than ICO's. Actually, I think they are far better.

At least the exchange's reputation is on the line with the IEO's. When an ICO goes scam however, Vitalik gives no shit because it is all decentralized and he never told you to buy.

As long as you join the big exchanges' ICO, like binance, i don't think you can lose much. It is still not %100 risk free but I can say the risk is a lot less than doing your own research and picking an ICO to invest.

Agree with you. Don’t see any bad and negative in IEO. For most of project it’s a chance to make a cup.

right, joining a new exchange that does an IEO is very risky because we don't know yet how the team's security and performance are and I think only fools or greedy people will do that

Preach it loud abd clear and everyone to listen especially those exchanges that has never built any tangible reputation in the industry. It is better risky your money in well established platforms that all these new ones.

This is the fad these days. Even Binance has their launchpad now and honestly I feel like when  they became popular, people generally think the IEO are great but I think that still depend on the platform. they should still do their own due diligence.

IEOs are a different view and new kind of breath in the crypto markets. Binance started this IEO chain and now they don't accept all token sale modes. I don't worry as much as others due to obvious reasons.

for an exchange of binance I think investors will also continue to believe in the investment made. but there are a lot of new exchanges that are carrying out the IEO, it makes a consideration where doubts will definitely be on investor thinking.

That's really true we need to be more careful about this new trending IEO in crypto because if every project choose that IEO we don't have assurance that the price of every token will be good but of course its depend to people how they manage their assets.

Be careful for whoever will cater the IEO's make it sure that you will not be victimized by those new exchange that caters their own versions of this new opportunities, IEO's coming from big exchange can make good chances to be succeed as we knew that they will not take the risk bringing their name inside this business opportunities without reviewing the potentials.

Right. we do have to be aware of the new IEO exchange. because lately a lot of fake IEOs have sprung up. then before we make investments and transactions, we must first analyze so that we do not experience losses.

This IEO shameless becomes more and more absurdly. Projects that already completed their ICO's starting to return funds to participants and getting back their allocations to conduct IEO. It is insane.

As they say how many people have so many opinions. I have to say this, because I see that now you and I will have really cool and very exciting opportunities to strengthen ICO, but if you are still a supporter of IEO, do the same for IEO

"Do your own read and research". Short comment but it is life saver. As the writer said do not get hyped. We can see many useless IEO which are could cause dangerous damages on investors pocket.

Investors are now wiser my friend ,who would invest in IEO projects released on not so popular exchanges? Its simple just what any scammer can do ,only newbies with zero knowledge will fall for that

There's always a new hype in crypto, IEO is the new hype but I doubt people will fall for it. After the 2018 crash of prices, people tend to do plenty of research before jumping on any trend in crypto. The trend will disappear soon if people don't jump on it.

What project do you mean when writing about a failed ICO?Maybe I missed something,but personally I have not seen a single project that after the unsuccessful ICO conducts IEO.I think that you should not take part in IEO, which hold little-known exchanges. Otherwise, this is a very interesting and also profitable event.

i'm not interested to join in IEO from new exchange with no reputation and low volume, recently i'm participated in few IEO from big exchange like bittex, binance, huobi but one problem from IEO is many user using bots for participated in token sale and make them get all token from ieo, and investor like me are not using bot never get the token from tokensale, this is a big problem from IEO then tokensale manual from developer project

of course people should use solid and well known exchanges for ieo like kucoin and bittrex. i do not know anothers.

Honestly, I only trust with Binance IEO even though it's very hard to join and buy the token there.
Cause if you can buy from there, that means easy profit for you  since so many people always get fomo on first hour. And for IEO on random exchange or non popular exchange it's very dangerous to put money there when no one hear about the exchange or get interested with the project

that's why we need educating new comer in cryptocurrency, many friend are telling me they're got scammed by joining in scam ico from untrusted exchange, i don't want talk about the exhange maybe you know this exchange.

i don't want my friend are scammed again, that's why they are need more education about cryptocurrency, for me i just refered if want join in IEO campaign just from big and trusted exchange

Thank you for your warning. However, for me personally, it is not important because I am afraid even to trade on second-rate exchanges, and even more so to participate in their IEO.
Therefore, I did not even think about trying to do it.

Even if they fail to make you rich in the near future, it doesn't mean they are a bad choice. Maybe they can make you rich in the long term!

Just because its a new term doesnt mean different colour from ICOs I think this has same risk in that some exchange and sell worthless token and still have great success in it The simple truth is put your money where you have research and believe enough

I think IEO is a big opportunity for all of us to get fast cash. But you have to take advantage of using scripts or probably be a lucky guy.
Another option is making several accounts or doing more attempts

I think developers will never choose a platform for their IEO that is not trusted by users. They would more likely choose a platform which has a huge volume, or if not, a decent platform which will favor them since after IEO, investors can freely trade and make volume with the new coin.

I also doubt the new ways to attract investments that have begun to use the large stock exchanges. I am embarrassed that the price of new coins is growing not because projects have prospects, but because the exchanges artificially inflate their price in order to attract investors to their followers. Such actions produce giglet.

Of course, both ICO and IEO are fundraising methods where we never know what will happen in the future. At least we need to research in an exchange where will they do IEO, product, Team, etc

we just need to be more selective to choose which exchange that worth to trust
many exchange provide IEO for their investor but not all of them give guarantee the IEO price not down after release on their market

The perfect advice for investors is never to join IEO projects from new exchanges ,there is a higher chance that its scam ,join IEO launched on very popular exchanges like binance ,bitfinex ,bitbtc and so on,I'm sure that very soon scammers will try to open new exchanges to lure investors to invest in scam IEOs

IEO does not give such a profit as before, vice versa, the price of some of them immediately falls as soon as the market opened. IEO, by the nature of trading, begins to resemble ICO - investors suffer losses. Thus, IEO does not guarantee the growth of the coin, you need to carefully study the project in which you want to invest.

yes indeed we must be wary of the IEO in new exchanges, or even never use a new exchange. this is very dangerous because of the potential for greater scam, than projects that start the IEO in large exchanges.

Yes both are almost same .But i think Investor always try to Invest on safe way .If an exchange hold the fund it will be more security to the investor .If you are a investor you have to research and Invest on a secured recommended Top exchange  IEO project .

I think the one who Benefits the most from the IEO's is the exchanges themselves. They have a lot of power to that and knowing that it's going to be listed on the exchange a few days after makes it easier to dump the tokens. The reason why I think this is because of the tokens they are trying to start. For example Binance, they have the Launchpad, and you need their tokens to join the IEO's IIRC.

There are a lot of worst-case scenarios, and this is what I could think of.

• The first thing is you buy the exchange tokens (this is needed to participate in the said IEO
• You are waiting for the countdown on that IEO then when you refresh it, it's already sold out!
• After seeing that you weren't able to buy, you lost money! Why? Because of the token, you bought first

I have seen people get rekt with just buying the tokens themselves. It's somewhat an easy reckoning when you haven't participated on the IEO but still getting losses just because of that.

Unfortunately every third party exchange is trying to take advantage of this IEO hype, because people are buying everything off like crazy when they see that it is an IEO. Only exchanges from top 10 on CMC are able to bring profit.

Not only this should be feared, one should understand that there are very big difficulties in general with all new technologies, because there are always people who will try to deceive you and will try to deceive everyone who wants to really make money

Forget the dreams of x100 on some idiotic coin that sells out in 1 minute on these exchanges. You all remember Bittrex's first IEO right? The one that got cancelled because so many people found the obvious flaws and red flags that SOMEHOW the platform itself failed to detect? Well, you guys go right ahead and "try your luck" and make multi accounts to "get more attempts". Don't come crying when it bites you back in the ass.

there is no difference between IEO and ICO's.. they are just using the exchange to deceive investors..after IEO is done then rhey will start to dump their coins again,

Do not forget that the projects of IEO, these are the same projects of ICO, only the sale of tokens through the exchange is held. Here, of course, it is of great importance that such projects of the exchange select and test them for prospects. However, this does not mean that among such projects will not be fraudulent projects. After all, the possibility of exchanges to verify the team of these projects is limited.

Well I don't see IEO as scam because I believed any Exchange conducting IEO for any project must have screen the team and make sure they are trust worthy, I believed no existing exchange will like to spoil it reputation for any upcoming project. In my own perspective I see IEO as a means by which the rate of scam ICO will be fully eliminated. As for the price dump I think any project with live product stand a chance for high demand and that is what controls the price of any crypto coin or commodity.

I completely agree, all this is a temporary HYIP, which is already fading.
No need to run and invest money in these projects, everything must be taken into account and risks taken.

actually, I think it's normal about the emergence of new Exchangers. I feel it's just part of business competition, trying to take over market interest. so I don't think there should be a concern about the new exchange's IEO.

Totally agree with you, you can only participate in IEO without deep analysis of the project in case it is held on top exchange like Binance or Huobi, it is very risky to participate in IEOs on unpopular exchanges.

The whole ieo thing is in hyped now. At the moment when the ICO ecosystem was falling the whole ieo concept came
 And now it's quite popular and it seems more trusted than the previous ICO system. In last few months we saw many scam and failed icos. Most of them took investor's money and vanished and some of them successful during ICO phase after that they failed at development phase. Cause their is no trust factor. But after that the whole crowdsale is more trusted. When a reputable exchange offer a crowdsale their is a high chance that the project is not a scam. But where money goes scammers come. Now many small and medium size exchanges offer ieo and most of those projects are not good so be careful and do some research on your own before you put your money anywhere.

I support healthy competition.  This is normal and it is very good when new exchanges are created.  This suggests that cryptocurrency technology is developing.

Reputable exchanges will not risk with shady projects as they want their customers to be protected but you are right new exchanges are risky as they have nothing to lose and there are plenty of them.
We have to make our own research in the future as well and not to trust blindly to IEOs.

I am still looking forward to participate in IEO, but I am trying to be selective and to be careful of the exchange to use.
Eve at that, I would need to trust the exchange first before participating in the IEO, because that is where the issue might come from.
So anything new, most especially new exchange.

Great reminder and people know this because we all know there are so many scammers right now people are learn about the fast before the put investment they learn well for the security purpose of their money.

Agree with this because of the success of binance in IEO many exchange is now opening IEO and they feeling that their IEO would be successful even if they can't get enough investor they will pursh thru of this, well I can give them a suggestion that only invest on trusted exchange not just an exchange because it is not worth it to invest in many IEO if you don't gain any income on it.

soon the IEO will also rarely have an interest because there has been little money gained when listing,
for me IEO is just a trend,
later everything will be replaced and new innovations appear that are better than the IEO.

I think investing at the time of the hype is very good to get fast profits, look at binance every IEO held there always has high hype and the price after trading also always goes up from the IEO price, so it's very good to look for quick profits

Many investors in the crypto ecosystem is way too greedy that they don't care about anything. They are making the scammers richer just for a chance to get 20-30% quick gains, and these gains are not sustainable. Eventually this will end up just like the ico bubble.

Binance's IEO should not be used to compare with IEOs from small, young exchanges. They are totally different from their starts of IEOs.
Big exchanges do their IEOs to raise funds for their further developments, or partially to bring another option to get passive income from their exchanges for their customers.
In contrast, small exchanges might have same purposes, or might have additional (or totaly different) purposes, getting as much free money as possible and make scam exits. I don't say all young exchanges which run IEOs will end like that, but they might.

That is why they got losses with their greedy investments in ICOs last two years, and they might get losses with their investments in IEOs of small exchanges, especially new born exchanges. No one can stop them to fall in greedy, despite of themselves. If they always fall into greedy, and too lazy to read and search for information of IEOs they want to make greedy investments, their destinations will be the same as they got with ICOs.

I'm a bit extreme, but if you don't even bother to read or research, then you kind of deserve to be scammed.
just like the tourist walking in a dangerous neighborhood flashing expensive cameras, phones, and jewelery, I have no sympathy cause they are really asking for it.

AS far as IEOs go, the recent hype has me a bit confused because IEOs have been around for a long time.
I guess when people finally realized that the ICO market is dead, they flocked to IEOs.
Maybe because they thought they could get liquidity cause it would be listed.

The crypto market isn't dead, but the entire ICO/IEO bubble econmy has definitely popped and won't be coming back.
That thing is dead and done.
I'm not saying that ICOs will dissapear, but it is no longer a viable trading option.

Different strategies are required for different market conditions.
Notice how btc is consistently doing good lately?
It's cause the market is moving away from risk and flocking towards stability.

You are absolutely right now almost every exchange offering IEO and there are alot of low grade exchange and the IEO offers by these exchange will totally flop and turn into scam so always invest in big & high grade exchange IEO otherwise you will lose your money.

 ;D  Here I understand. And then came up with a new type of projects. And what's the difference as the project is called. If the team sharply decides not to release the product.

I am better off following the IEO in a trusted exchange rather than having to follow in a new exchange. because this is very risky and also they do not have trust in the exchange. be careful when indeed we are interested in this iso investment

At least, big exchange won't suddenly disappear days or weeks after their IEOs finished. Young exchanges can surely disappear after raising huge amount of money through their IEOs. They might do scam exits, or more legally they simply announce our exchange get hacked, funds stolen, and we are not able to pay you compensation. So, I am so sorry for your losses due to the hack.  :-\

Be warned newbies ,the only way scammers can use IEO to scam people is building new exchanges and after trading begins on the exchange they will start launching IEO ,do not join IEOs from new exchanges

it's just a stupid person that will invest his coins in a new exchange with a new IEO.
You need a trusted exchange that has many users like binance

IEO is currently trending and its the best so far because it limits scam rates by projects especially the top exchanges offering IEO. now that so many exchange has copied that , its now turning to means to generate money for both exchange and project. the fact remains that one needs to be careful and mind the kind of exchange you put your money.

One error is enough and the trend will return to its place. This method of fundraising may also not justify itself. No one knows what and how will be. Now millions will drive money there. Blind, in everything in a row. And then this system will collapse.

ive witnessed a couple of new exchages and im surprised that they also got alot of user trading on thier site  . im not saying that these exchanges are scam but new exchanges also have a potential to become a good and sucesful exchange because of thier great service  . now these exchanges are also  present with the new trend called ieo's  .  investors also take risk to invest with them so that they can widen thier portfolio  .

You are perfectly right bro. I have seen a lot of ICOs that started their token sales since August 2018, and due to failure of the ICO are also coming to join the IEOs. So in my opinion, the IEO is just an extension of ICO.

IEO is another scheme established for the main purpose of taking advantage of the naivety of investors.. Most IEOs complete their tokens sale in few seconds which means that only few persons would be able to buy. The tokens gets listed on an exchange at a fixed rate which is later dumped massively by the whales leaving the price worthless.

IEO is better than ICO but it's the truth we shouldn't participate in those IEO which is held by poor exchanges sites. I don't like to mention which exchanges sites are poor. Everyone needs to research which IEO is good and which is not. Otherwise, we may fall in the trap.

I think there's nothing to be worried about just like in the ico time you only invested in your choice of project and not all ico of see, same applies to the new introduced ieo. The exchange hosting it is not a problem as far as binance did it and it works they can also do the same yours is to select your choice of projects.

They are lazy and greedy investors, or more exactly I think we should call them as lazy and greedy gamblers. They simply spend money into IEOs (especially IEOs of small exchanges because they think they can get higher profits from small exchanges' IEOs, rather than fom big exchanges), and wait for luckiness come to them and those exchanges. Rather than gamble like this, I think they should buy and hold good altcoins, or even buy and hold bitcoin. The risks of losses will be lower than invest into IEOs.

Any sensible investors will not consider investing in IEO on trading platform with fake volumes. Intact any exchange platform that is not in top 10 trading platform should not be considered by investors if not you will end up regretting. I am currently having bitter experience in IEO on latoken and dobitrade

Exactly, fake volume, and young exchanges, we should stay away from them. Even without IEOs, customers have risks to lose their money on those young exchange, when they do something shady, such as sudden scam exits and if such cases occur, customers won't have opportunitites to open support tickets, and get their money back. Because they make scam exits, no chance to see them (scammers) to come back with their exchanges, and supports for customers.

Whenever something new comes up in the crypto space, everyone tries to join the train. The hype entice people to follow and join blindly without considering the risks associated with it and they end up losing their monies.

That would against the statement that said IEO is safer than ICO because there will be less scam project. Well, that's right if the exchange is Binance, cause project's team will need to pass several requirements to be able to conduct a tokensale on Binance. Unfortunately, the proccess will be different if the exchange is not very popular. A small exchange need a volume, therefore they will be very welcome to a new project to coduct a tokensale and don't really care about the project's credibillity.

Yep. I also appreciate your thoughts. At this moment ieos are the most popular and hyped thing in the market. Almost all investors wants to invest in IEOs. And it's hard for all of them to participate in a ieo which is lead by a big exchange. So scammers those who scammed people in ico they are on the field and they are partnering with very small and medium exchange. So never support or invest in this kind of project.

We should not trust a new exchange just because they have IEO on their exchange.
Better safe than sorry, better to buy IEO from popular exchange, so we can't be scammed because it can destroy their good reputation.

IEO's popularity's also attracts new exchanges to offer same deals, it's in the hands of investors  to stay away from that kinds of business, from the beginning it's needed to review and analyze the project well before investigating the exchange who offers the IEO's launchpad, good coins that have
real usage will succeed and it will be lift the exchange who sponsored the process.

Even if someone is inteding to invest in IEO on a little-known exchange it would be better first to see only the results of current one. And if they are good enough with a high profit and without scamming then you could try to participate once. Anyway, it's a risky business that should be done at the sole discretion.

The fact is that today investors have become very cautious, because over the past year and a half the investment fund of the cryptocurrency market has lost a lot of money.  Investors lost their funds because of scammers and because of non-professional teams that ineptly spent ico company.  Based on this, they will make the right choice with extreme caution.

The exchanges are very profitable IEO, they it attracts new investors and the pursuit of the number of customers leads to a loss of quality (security).

I don’t think that ethereum has to be directly involved before they can also benefit from IEO projects. Ethereum may not even be able to come up with an IEO project as they are not exchanges, and we know that the IEO is strictly a product of exchanges for now.

Most of these exchanges still uses ethereum smart contract to develop their project unlike Binance that has its own chain, so I don’t see any of these exchanges IEO being a threat to the growth of ETH other than Binance because of their recently launched, Binance chain. Which many people even predicts that ethereum base token might gradually start migrating to Binance.

it is like 2018's ico rush.

everywhere was ico. and 90% of them are scam.
now same things again.
everywhere is ieo. and 90% of them are scam projects. buy them but not hold long term. sell when you see gain.

IEO are not so profitable. The only good thing is that an exchange is going to make the tokens available for trading. But the project can still be a scam project. But it minimizes a little the risk that the team is going to disappear without giving anything.

For quick investors they have the advantage, the coin already listed inside the exchange after being available the value will got chance to go up
and early investors can easily dumped and take the profits that they will earn from the investment that they've place when the IEO's still on the
process, quick response will give investors profits.

Totally agreed. I think that IEO hype almost ended and now projects do not reached hardcap so fast like it was before. But doesn't metter - project good or bad - IEO hype gives a lot for that who jump in it in time.

Not all IEO is good depends on the project if it is good,The best of IEO is no longer wait for exchangers as the tokens can buy on exchangers and we can sell tokens once it open up for trading.i can suggest a IEO like yanu because it is popular and good project through months after their ICO they study and look for the best for investors so they open the IEO for yanu,And try to look for their product as it will be worldwide soon.

I do not understand why new exchanges, hastily conducted such IEO. They do not have many users, do not have enough resources, the projects they choose are not outstanding, maybe they just follow the new trend, or try to deceive the ignorant.

Which people are couldn't funds rise in initial coin offer so start initial exchange offer or security token offer. Now investor don't trust any ICOs because dump even up 98 percentage. In bear crypto Binance support IEO has low chance to dump and low risky.

Indeed people should choose wisely and not do like on ICOs, they should choose only big exchanges and only good projects, because maybe new exchange are here just trying to scam.

Do you really think that Changpeng Zhao too foolish to host IEO of a crypto startup with zero potential in the project and let his own users suffers who would then leave Binance because Binance conduct IEOs of startups which are scams? I do not think like that and they are way too careful about it as well. The make sure the project of the crypto startup passes through a vetted assessment by the experts and only then we get an IEO.

I can't say that IEO sale guarantees that the user will easily and quickly invest. Care is always needed because the projects themselves are not always ready to provide good service, saying we are IEO token.  I am watching a project that has been delaying sales for several months. Good startup are able to find investors in any case.

Users are naive. I also participated in many ICO projects, and even some teams were so convincing that I was ready to invest. But over and over again I saw how, after the pre-sale, the tokens became empty. The most important rule that must be agreed by people willing to invest in ICO, IEO or STO project is be patient. It is good when the startup has private sales before IEO sale on the exchange. It demonstrates the ability to attract investors and fulfill their obligations

I agree with you. The most important rules for ICO investors, especially beginners, are patience and an understanding of trading principles. I think I would have a strong financial crisis if I began to invest in all the projects that I liked the first time. It is good that I found a taklimakan platform where there are educational materials on cryptocurrency investing.

we have to becarefull with this kind of exchanges,investing in IEO from new exchanges has high risk.moreover its not tested yet as reputable exchanges.maybe binance, kucoin, huobi or bittrex could be our choice.

It's good when the exchanges allow you to use ethereum or bitcoin to buy IEO tokens. But when an investor first needs to own the tokens of the exchange itself, this discourages the desire to invest. I understand that such a policy of exchanges is necessary for them to support their work, but all the same, the sensations are not too pleasant from such an attitude.

IEO allows a token issuer to post sales without wasting resources and time. But the real benefit is to token buyers, who don’t need to worry about their data or funds being stolen. They just need a verified account on our exchange.

I agree with your point of view because not all IEO projects are successful. Many projects sold on the floor are not really big. Therefore we need to be alert to avoid cases like ICOS has Scams occur everywhere. So don't rush to think all IEOS are good, choose potential projects that tokens are sold on reputable exchange sites.

We must do vigilance. like now there are many exchanges that exist and we must be able to use them not to make these dangerous investments in the exchange. because there are so many risks that we will get. better believe in good exchange and gain trust by investors

I think HYIP around IEO has just begun, carrying out its own research coupled with a positive exchange's reputation that's the key to success. 

Invest into IEOs of new exchanges is nearly the same as invest in new projects with their ICOs. Who knows how long new exchanges will survive? Who knows those new exchanges will make scam exits some day? Who knows the real purposes of new exchanges' owners to run their IEOs? In general, IEOs of new exchanges are very risky. I made mistakes with ICO investments, so this time I decided to stay away from IEOs.

Recently, I stopped paying attention to new ico companies that are developing new trading platforms.  I have already encountered some projects that have not yet been launched and therefore there is no point in wasting my time and my money.  It is best to pay attention to those projects that have the support of reputable people and companies, as well as those who already have a real product.

In as much as IEO is trending today, there are individuals who would still want to make away with investors money. So, just like making a good research before investing in ICOs one should also ensure to be careful of the IEO he goes for. A new exchange promoting an IEO; investors should make adequate research before investing in such.

It's no longer far when people will scream and shout what IEO has done to them. It's all sweet and rosy now, people condemning ICOs but sooner or later they will come to realize IEO is no better than ICOs. Investors wshould open their eyes, be smart and enjoy it while it lasts.

Yeah, but when I saw how much money is needed for development of the blockchain project (AION example) I really doubt many of these IEOs are going to be around crypto market after 1 year.

New exchange hosting an IEO, indeed needs to be thoroughly checked and investigated. Investors should not be carried away by the hype within IEO that they fail to make due analysis on the project they want to invest. Research should always be the first thing to consider before investing in any project or IEO.

Investing in ICO at IEO will not always be worthy and give us profit. One time, there will definitely be a time when we are disadvantaged when investing in crypto. Moreover, when we participate in the IEO in the new and low-grade market, it does not rule out the possibility that the crypto industry like a new exchange and or low-grade exchange that using the IEO tactic to scammed us.

yes, maybe now IEO is very popular, but that doesn't make me leave ICO because ICO just needs to be slightly improved and that will make it the best again.

therefore he must continue to support ICO by continuing to invest in the ICO because although there are many frauds, there are also many good projects.
so I'm sure if ICO will defeat the IEO sometime.

Randomly putting your money on exchange IEOs is very risky and any one with good business or investment strategy won't do that. Due deligence and research is very important when you're investing even if its big exchange IEO

I don't think all IEOs are worth investing in. It is true that as the OP says, be careful of the IEO at low exchanges. Because not all IEOs will be successful, it all depends on the popular Exchange and the Project must also be seen. If you invest in an IEO at a low exchange, there may be no guarantee that you will get a big profit.

Smart people will use this condition of hype to make profits and they know when to leave the market but common investors will get stucked into the trap then later wait for their tokens price to increase forever.

Don't invest on the new projects when you don't know the future of that coin,just buy the altcoin which is here for years.

I'm agreed with that totally, I can say that it's not only new or small exanges can be scammed, I've already seen scam IEO at LATOKEN exchange, so it probably can be anywhere.

The fact that the ICOs are now promoted as IEOs and pay immense amounts of money to be promoted by prestigious exchanges such as Binance, does not make them better projects than before, so I still see many "IEOs" as mere spurious projects, lacking solid and sustainable projects, and everything seems to indicate that they are no more than the same models as before, designed to enrich a few through false promises of profitability that will never be fulfilled.

Already, many people are beginning to realize that an IEO can cause huge losses just like ICO.
Just recently, huge losses were caught by investors in the IEO Ocean on the Bittrex exchange. Will not be willing to invest in the following IEO on this exchange.

I guess we should treat IEO's and ICO's the same even if its implemented by a new exchange or not. What matters most is that we should research the project first, assess its worthiness and try to figure out relevant factors that are important to a project and see if it meets our expectations since its very important to know that we are investing in  a project that could give us a high probability of good ROI's and peace of mind.  :)

You have said it all and that's nothing but the truth. I believe at this juncture in the crypto space, investors are ought to wise and learn to stop following hype. Imagine a new exchange hosting an IEO, seriously one needs to be careful on what he invest as most of these IEOs has nothing to offer.

Very well said,they eagerly attached what is trend but did not realize what they could got if they join on it,but i think if they will joined in any IEO‘s they should think many times as well to preventing loses.

Lots of discussions on IEO nowdays, from what I know btt is the most successful projects that profited in millions, still new projects if you wanna go cheap most of your funds are locked for months for gradual releasing, much like stock market, and price seems to impress early and get dying off if the project doesn't achieve anything significant. Scam? I would say overrated as premiums projects

Even if we change to a new and innovative exchange such as IEO, we must also consider to know more about it. I mean money business is not a joke, that you would invest in an exchange and give your 100 percent trust that your money would give you so much profit. What i like to say is there should always be a 50/50 trust situation and not giving all of your trust to any exchange whereas scam can be practiced.

this is first projects that using IEO scheme in Binance launchpad.and get big successfully.IEO give us more certainity about exchanges or market.its very different with ICO that still unknown when they will listing their token in market.

of course . that's why there is a saying  " invest only what you can afford to loose " because all investments are risky no matter how trusted or secure the company or the project that you will be investing with  . and what is the point of investing on newer exchange's ( ieo ) where you can always go for the trusted exchanges ( ieo ) such as binance  , kuckoin  , houbi and others alike  .....

IEO is not like ICOs they are easy to spot because if they were listed on some big exchanges there is a higher percentage that the project would be good and no big exchanges out there to sell their names just to scam people. on the other hand, if they were listed on some unknown and low volume exchanges the percentage of it being a scam is also higher.

You are absolutely right except big exchange like Binance never invest in IEO which is offered by low grade exchange as it is totally loss of your precious money.

Bitzon are now happy to announce our tokensale will start on May 6th on t.me/ShortExchange 🔵🔵

Our token price will start at $0.04 and progressively go up.

Be ready for may 6th it will be a busy d

You already pointed out the most important information about IEO but we cannot say also that all IEO's will likely to fall and will end up scamming.
We cannot blame the project owner if they will likely to launch an IEO upon seeing the others who succeed from it.

They will surely do everything to raise funds. The people that we should blame from it if in case this will continue are the investors who keep on investing even they already know the risk that they are going to face in the future. But we have no power to stop this, what we can do right now is to adapt from it and make it as our advantage to earn some good profit.

As you know Binance and other big exchanges have started IEO and they have good reputation but some little exchange that are unknown and not have any reputation, should not invest in these exchange .

Well, personally I'd say point of correction, Binance IEO hasn't produced any tangibly successful project. All of the IEOs happening there led to a massive never ending dump- from BTT to Matic

Nevertheless you're very very right, these times are times that scammers grow in number, they'll just set up "useless" exchanges to steal people's money. We all need to be careful.

This is no surprise cause you cant simply create something out of nothing just like ico were doing a couple of years ago with them raising funds based on a promise their projects will succeed and most did not even get out of the gate.
Now with these initial exchange offering investors think they are safe and have a false sense of security just because they are being held by an exchange.
Here is an article I found which points out the differences between the two.
https://cryptopotato.com/what-is-an-initial-exchange-offering-ieo-and-how-it-differs-from-ico

But to me they seem to be the same thing just dressed up by these exchanges to look more inviting to the vast customer base they have at hand.

after reading some of the differences between the two we know both also have weaknesses and strengths except that the IEO is more popular among investors at the moment and it makes many exchanges offering IEOs in their exchange systems

I agree with you the IEOs is not guarantee will make successfull our investment in cryptocurrencies or there is no guarantee that the IEOs is more good than ICOs, i have got bad information about the scam IEOs https://news.8btc.com/worlds-first-ieo-exit-scam-yescoin
That's sad news about the IEOs projects so we don't say that IEOs is more great than ICOs if we don't know anything about the projects because there are no free risk investment in cryptocurrencies, we must becarefull when research IEOs projects or ICOs.

i think that too.
binance will not be possible to list fake IEOs on their exchanges. but we cannot feel always safe, no matter how we are, we must always be vigilant.

indeed the greatest risk will occur in new exchanges or exchanges that you say are "low grade exchange". they will quickly spend our money if we are on the wrong IEO.

when there are many IEOs that have sprung up at an exchange place like binance, I am sure it can provide a lot of benefits because we know that binance is a very large platform of exchange and it is not possible if they issue a bad IEO, surely they give IEO the best choice .

For now, we just have to limit our participation to trusted exchange like Binance, because it seems like Binance is the only one that can really handle this IEO, when bittrex IEO came out, I was happy that at least, the rush we use to get in Binance that makes majority of us not to be able to get chance to participate will no longer be there, but this desire ended up pushing us to another scenario that is similar to just like investing in ICO.

Bittrex is really not doing their work properly as lots of ICO projects still get dumped and lower in value compared to the initial offering price. I wonder what other exchange IEO will look like.

I have not heard of IEO fraudulently before. This happens, most likely due to the use of little-known exchanges that do not thoroughly check the project for legitimacy. I think such cases will happen, but in this case, the exchange should use the services of insurance companies so that investors' money is insured.

They are providing this offers not because they really believing in such projects but because they are going to get a good amount of profits, it's just a concept of investment where there's no real assurance for long term earnings, most of the time investors only joined to earned quick benefits.

I noticed one extraordinary tendency on the ABCC exchange, after the next IEO on this site ends, the AT exchange token drops significantly to the bottom! Although all IEO pass with success :-\

Our points of the IEOs and the ICOs there are no free risk investment in them, we must make analysis fundamental of the IEOs such as the exchangers which are used by the projects, the company behind of the IEOs projects and the innovations of the team of IEOs projects before we make investment in them. Including all of fundamental of aspects of the IEOs, that's why i always said learn first about the IEOs projects.

I am sure they will be trying all there possible best to secure their reputation, but no one is above mistake, I just hope that there will not be any loophole in this great IEO system that these scammers would see to penetrate their system.

Some of these big exchanges who are gradually having little hitches about the system, not in the aspect of scam but as regards some of their registered project still dumping below ICO price despite the fact that they get sold out immediately. This is still not a great challenge though, if they can make sure that whatever projects they register is strictly quality projects that would continue to thrive in the midst of storm.

Yeah, I think you're right. In my opinion, the only difference between IEO and ICO is the organize of IEO by a exchange. And before investors join an IEO, I definitely think that he should have information about the exchange. And we need to pay more attention to IEO, which will be organized by a new exchange. Especially before joining IEO, I recommend reading the comments about that exchange.

Now all top exchanges offering IEOs this is new kind of ICO where people will be able to trade directly on the exchange after the finish of crowdsale. But it is also have same risk factor like to invest in any ICO. I think this is not a good idea to invest because of FOMO.

Certainly, participation in an IEE is much more reliable than simply ICO. First, the project must undergo an independent audit of the exchange, and secondly, the token or coin immediately begin to be traded on the exchange. I was about to participate in the IEO Gexan. If anyone is interested here is a link with all the details: https://p2pb2b.io/token-sale/GEX

Yes, it is true
I don't think there is a guarantee that investing in the IEO will bring benefits, especially in small, non-credible exchanges. I think here we must be wise in every investment speculation.
the need for research and still looking for the best so as not to generate losses, currently the IEO trend is very rapid. and I think there's always a downside and the risk

Right, now people actually get on a hype. Even IEO really helpful for people who not really can pick good ICO to invest, but result in market it is all depends on developer itself. Success or not it is on developer's hand.

IEO or ICO there is no fundamental difference ... but probably at this stage investment through IEO is safer since the exchanges carefully check the projects before starting the IEO. I am about to invest in the project Gexan which will be held by the IEO on May 10 on the exchange P2PB2B. I was interested in this project so that they already have a finished active product.

Totally agreed, there have been many victims from this IEO, investors also feel disadvantaged when buying the IEO and sell afterwards, even if their fate is not far away like ICO it's just a different concept.
Fortunately, I have never invested in the IEO and never will, this only worsens your assets

Investors (greedy and lazy ones) likely have not learned their past lessons with ICO investments. IEOs are risky as same as ICOs. The main reason is for big, well known exchanges, with high quality IEOs, investors won't be able to join because it is game for whales, not for small investors. Consequently, small investors turn out to switch their capital to IEOs of small, young, and less reputable exchanges, that mostly scam ones and might do their scam exits; or their exchanges will turn into dead one.

Binance is not the same with other exchanges, one thing for sure is that they will always succeed when it comes to all this, cause they are popular and they have already built a reputation for themselves and having lots of investors. But same cannot be said of other exchanges, cause they don’t have any reputation and you can’t trust any exchange that doesn’t have good reputation yet, unless you decide to take the risk and face whatever will be the outcome of it. I don’t know whether IEO is better than ico or not. But ICO has been the main for long now.

This is a warning to newbies who don't bother to learn what's threading in crypto space now ,the truth is many IEOs from new exchanges will be like fake ICO projects ,be careful and do better research on IEO projects from popular exchanges only

This is an important issue to address because not all offerings will be worthwhile investments and you are definitely going to benefit from first doing in-depth research into what exchange is hosting the crowdsale, what rate of profitability recent offerings using this launchpad have had, and what due diligence is conducted to ensure you're making a well informed choice before you commit any capital

Yeah, most of the people around the world were making for a new exchange just to launch their own ICO. Be careful, even though IEO for its security is very secure.

I absolutely agree with you. A large part of the ICO or IEO is a fraud. In this respect I like the approach the Lukki exchange (https://lukki.io) - these guys are studying in detail each project, which is placed in the section IEO. That is why they conduct so little IEO, but those who conduct - it is very strong projects that are worthy of attention

That is what I am thinking now is not to invest in IEOs in unpopular exchanges and low volumes, of course not all IEOs are basically good. It all depends on the project and the exchange aspect. If the popular exchange is of course their reputation is very much held. If you make a mistake or fraud will certainly have an impact on their own exchange.

my opnion to worthy obviously not because this IEO is actually very similar to ico or other crowdfunding, the difference is IEO uses an exchange and maybe escrow as their crowdfunding tool and also, the advantage of IEO is that if the sale is completed the token will be traded on the exchange who held the IEO, to find out whether or not it is true that only once we can do research and also maybe we can also consider investing other than the IEO because I think it's almost same.

 Are you sure about that?I had just the same thoughts but it mostly like premonition, nothing certain.You voiced it aloud and i am thankful for your alert, it's great how we help each other here.

It's pretty clear that you OP and the other investors has the decision on their own hand. And it's  much easier to decide  because you can see the results of IEOs of exchanges that just ended. They are listed immediately and so far Binance's IEO are showing great results and some of their  launched project has given the investors more than 2x roi.

Wow, crypto currency competition is getting tougher. It turns out there are still many people who want to get crypto currencies easily by taking the rights of others. They commit fraud through the IEO. As crypto currency players, we should be able to learn from past experience about fraud at the ICO so that we are no longer victims of IEO fraud. As crypto currency players, we must be open to information and development. Besides that, we must not be lazy to read and enrich science.

Better for us to look out for their tactics of scamming for us to avoid them or to beat them with their scam. I was scammed years abck and now am pretty vigilant for the lookout to these fraudulent scammers. IEOs will definitely turn to be the worst compare to ICO but this will take a longer time to happen.  

I think the IEO will be better even though maybe the scammer will find a way to be able to do the IEO. but for a big exchange I think it will be safe, because of course they won't make their good name worse because it promotes sales for coins with unclear projects.

in fact the IEO is not even a guarantee that tokens are better than tokens that do ICO, sometimes even worse. now I am following a number of campaigns on coins that do IEOs on the IDAX Exchange and Latoken Exchange
I will compare it with some projects that conduct ICO.

I don't really like the exchanges you mentioned, latoken isn't very good because there are some cases related to their trading volume. I think the IEO in exchange can have a compromise regarding the project with exchange. this would be very risky for manipulating funds revenues. still be careful.

Personally those small exchange site that offering a IEO is not much more profitable if you compare to Binance Launchpad and Huobi thats why you need tobe careful investing in any IEO this is another Hype in the market but its good to know after getting all of this new project have a chances to list in the exchange compare to ICO that alwaysbpromissing to list in any exchange site.

yea I think everyone should be careful about this new exchanges launching IEO. They are just on the quest to make money of the scheme and don't care about their investors. Why would a new exchange not talk about how to make its product more better and reach more good traders and users and try to build a solid platform first than only thinking of how to launch IEOs.

Right, the IEO success of Binance has brought a new revolution in crypto. Other exchanges are trying to launch IEO but most of them are hype and investors are being cheated by the price speculation. I suggest the investors to justify before investment. I have found only Binance is successful but others are still struggling hence.

You have said it, I wonder who will just invest in any IEO having passed through the unfriendly activities in ICOs. The truth is, most exchanges will spring up now with the aim of offering IEOs, but it is neccessary we are careful so as to be on the safer side while securing our funds.

The most important step is the know were you invest your money, doing your research is an important factor, Of course Binance,  can not be compared to others  exchanges.  

I do agreed that not all IEO are good, just like what I saw from la token, there are many project who undergo to this exchange through IEO, and yet after the project was done, the token to this platform now has zero volume in the market and one of this example are VTM, Got, and last was Ideal. Therefore, IEO would only be good if the exchange are like Idax, Binance and more.

new exchange ieo shouldnt even be trusted by anyone else! even if people get so hyped about it! you should stop joining in an ieo to untrustable exchange or you can get ur fund loss or the coins went dropped to priceledd.

I can only hope that many investors could take the warning from this thread. Down the line, we could all see exchanges' performance with respect to IEO and for sure new and low-grade exchanges are no go area for IEO. They need to gain the people trust by offering good services before coming up with IEO launches.

Lots of complains flying in already by people who have participated in IEOs on some of the new exchanges notably Vindax. Vindax is notoriously known for a lot of ill practices including not sending out withdrawals as well as raising withdrawal limits once you have deposited. These practices will continue unless somehow regulations are put in place checkmated.

It's obvious that IEOs only do well in the big exchanges with very good reputation like Binance, Kucoin, OKEX, HUOBI, gate.io. New exchanges doing IEO most likely end up not even meeting softcap or probably tell lies about selling out to lure in investors, let's be careful. The Worst is that, some are outright scam which disappears after getting funds from investors. 

I think we should be aware of all new exchanges without regarding the IEO in that exchanges.
New exchange will have to build user's trust from zero. If it has become trusted exchange, then they will have satisfying result in IEO launching.

Some of the new exchanges have hardly any accountability. The real risk is not for the IEO promoters, but for the investors. If they vanish with all the funding, along with the IEO promoters, then the users will be left in the lurch. Also, most of these exchanges don't have any auditing mechanism, and therefore we don't know whether the real time IEO subscription statistics which are displayed are accurate or not (just like what happened with CYBR IEO in Coineal).

Another risk factor comes from the site security. The smaller exchanges may not be having sufficient mechanism in place to prevent the wallet hacks. So if a hack occurs while an IEO is in progress, then both the investors and the IEO team will suffer losses. But that said, I can't blame people who continue to depend upon the smaller exchanges. It is not always possible for everyone to pay millions of USD as listing fees, which exchanges such as Huobi and Binance charge.

Joining the IEO of the first grade or tier one exchanges is quite safer than the IEOs hosted on the recently launched exchange platforms. With the tier one exchanges like Kucoin and Binance, the IEO or project must provide open source code, proof of documents and other checks which will grant the authenticity of the project. With this, investors are more unlikely to invest in fake IEO.

Agreed, those low tier, low volume exchanges are approving IEO submissions from totally obscure projects, a lot of them may well be scams or just blatant money grabs. Luckily most of them fails to collect any significant amount of funds, so only a few people is getting burned by them.

It is better to avoid IEO held by small exchangers because the available liquidity is also small. IEO or ICO is basically speculation and it's better to speculate in a large exchanger because with a large transaction volume, it gives an opportunity for price increases

Investors are already afraid losing money so instead of taking the risk participating with IEO which being held in a small exchange, they will choose to take it the hard way trying being lucky joining big exchange like binance, even the participation is not that easy it's far better to try your luck and get satisfied with the outcome than trying to be lucky with small exchange that  chance of being scam is very high.


Good to know that the percentage of those investors which is not careful and being victimized are smaller than to those who are aware with possible scam.

i see many cryptocurrency exchanges have IEO launch, but it doesn't mean the projects launched are good.
We must do many times of research about the project in every exchange, even IEO in binance should be researched properly.

Most new exchange are scam exchange already and a new project that going to New exchange I just feel they are not serous. Personally I think is a no no. So is better to always same guard ones income or investment.

Before ICOs were very risky case a lot of loss, today we try this new way of invest IEO, i understand IEO may also will not success, it is risky anyway 

There should be some website that create list of new exchange offering IEO which is fishy enough and list of sites that are already experienced on starting an IEO and are trusthworty.
These new exchanges keep appearing like a mold on the surface of my bathroom they are just offering many and many baseless IEO with stupid idea for the sake of money. People should be more aware too.

That's how important research is when participating in a project, the emergence of new exchanges after the rise of previous cases does not rule out the possibility of new projects not being infected with scam cases. Talk about profits after a new exchange trend so that you follow all the projects. It is better to invest wisely.

Of course, investors are always advised to perform extensive researches on projects before joining because not all IEOs on the market are legit especially the ones hosted on the newly launched exchanges. I trust IEOs on big exchanges like Kucoin, Binance, however, I do perform the research.

I don't agree with you, the main difference between ICOs and IEOs listing bitcoin in exchange, if i find the new project run IEO this mean it is not a scam, but i understand this not guarantee  the project will success.
