Have you ever thought of this before?

When I first heard of IEOs from smaller exchanges, I thought they were simply catering to one of the demands of ICO investors which is immediate exchange listing.

Then came the bigger centralized exchanges like Binance, Bittrex, and Kucoin. It somehow made me wonder why would they open up their platform to crowdfunding. Maybe because they also think that the ICO market is dying? If so, then that would mean less new projects. With less new projects, less potential source of income (listing fees). 

So in the end, it is still all about the $$$. These exchange are probably afraid of losing one of their major source of income  ;D


What's your take on this?

In crypto all continues to grow. Because people are getting bored to invest in ICO. And in the end the IEO came with a big advantage, of course for investors. Previously, there were a lot of Exchange that did IEO like binance, Kucoin & Bittrex. Of all the IEO in large exchanges, there will certainly be a lot of big profits for investors. And just enjoy the current developments with the presence of the IEO.

Because they are the answer on how to gain back the confidence of the investors in the crypto space.
With the advent of IEO, investors feel safer with investing, although the number of projects that has come into existence is now limited but we can ensure that majority of them are good projects. I believe we quality projects more than quantity alone.

Floors are using IEO as a tool to help their coins grow quickly. The majority of floors only allow participation in the IEO with their coins, which is a wise tactic.

The IEO makes a difference this year, compared to ICOs that have gotten a bad stigma from the public.
Now investors are becoming more confident and most IEOs also provide a very good picture.
I believe that the IEO can have a significant impact on the circulation of cryptocurrencies, now the public and society will be increasingly interested in using it.

I think this is more of the exchanges conducting IEO's to protect the poor investors from scam project and also protect their own interest, if you look at it, many investors are now too afraid to put money in ico's for reasons best known to all, so exchanges trying to use the ieo process to secure investors confidence to invest in new project and at the same time bring new attention to their exchange, new listing brings new people to the platform with new money.

Let us just hope that dev teams will not abuse this system. Exchanges, big or small should be stringent in selecting projects to be included in their launchpads. If greed for money will be involved again, we will see this type of fund-generating scheme to fail again.

As I believe it also, ICO's really have a disgusting performance which bringing a lot of projects into failures. Aside from that, scam project flooded around and by having this IEO will minimize scam project into a zero level which investors feel confidence for their investment.

There is multiple reasons for that.

First of all, people got sick and tired of scam icos and they need some guarantor which is exchanges. Second, for ico's, making it is not cheap. They pay lots of things (kyc, gateway, etc) and can't get enough money.

For exchanges, it is another income.

It seems everybody is happy.

I agree with your statement, it's all about creating a safe space for investors and most likely building their confidence in the said project. On a personal note, I can of think it is a grand scheme to also eliminate bounty hunters who often accused of dumping prices

This is basically, marketing. The existence of IEOs are meant to promote new currencies that will going to enter various exchanges and already listed there. The assurance of listing the top priority, also this is what people want, to trade and make profit on a certain crypto. What it has adopted is still the idea, what ICO is, they've just limit it.

Well if the coming of IEO will stamp out or stop fraudulent ICOs then I am fully in support of the idea atleast I will divert my investment to a very good alternative to crowdfunding of fraudulent ICOs.
This will bring relieve to would-be cryptos investors who are caution of putting in their hard earned money to a real project that will stand the test of time even if their is need to submit identification ie KYC before investing in an IEO that wouldn't be a problem for many investors because of the trust and credibility of the exchange handling the project.

Because ico's died and system need something better to continue.

It seems the solution is IEO. Will it be there or die too, we will see in time.

Some people are explaining that introduction of IEO is the reason for bull run we had in last week.  But, personally I will not mind why IEO is coming to existence. Because, it will basically attract more investors into crypto space. That is what we are all looking for years to have stronger community.

If you study IEO very well, you will understand that IEO projects easily reach their hardcap and it is very fast in doing so because it has already gain the trust of investors who believe that it is safer to invest in IEO, the faster IEO gets investor to pump in, the faster we will see big increase in the Marketcap, IEO is also a good news and it has already sent good signals to lots of investors that the crowd funding program is already getting sanitized and free of all manner of scam done via ICO.

I think Paytomat is a good example of the IEO campaigns
They made 100 BTC during IEO https://cmc.io/coins/paytomat

People have gotten sick of ICO's and their scams. They want these stuff to be handled by pros. If Binance's picks don't make the returns you expected, you can leave Binance and move to some other exchange which is more successful at its job.

It makes sense.

It came Into existence because investors stopped investing their money in easy money grab or which known as ICOs So now money suckers and greedy exchanges come up with new attractive method they name it IEO to raise fund from investors in easy way so its win win for both exchanges and projects starter or Devs , exchange win more trading fees and take % from IEO fund and Dev win easy money and after token get listed price dump 90% then investors come here in forum open thread and start cursing and whining for their losses.

Its simple and timely, as we all know that the stupid and greedy scammers disguised as a legit ICO's and victimized most of the unsuspected investors including me thats why Initial Exchange Offering IEO came into existence because of necessity. for me IEO is more safer than current unregulated ICO's with exemption from those  not reputable exchange that offer the same service, if the ICO's still unregulated im sure it will die soon. regulation is the key to restore the trust and confidence from investors. the investors are still watching the development the perfect example is the (Kucoin Spotlight IEO) the token was sold immediately and data was surprise me either the investors who bought the tokens are from ( 59 countries,  6111 participated and 1161 succeeded sold 600 million tokens)

IEO became necessary because of the rate at which ICO are failing and the numerous numbers of scam project that perverse this space. Thousands of ICO investors have been left dejected and have been forced to find solace in trading so as to see what amount could be recovered from their loss fund. Mind you, many IEO will scam too, as some already failing. I took part in an IEO which is yet to be listed but already trading in Folkdelta, which means it's going to be a price disaster in a centralized exchange. 

of course. it is obvious. The exchanges have invented this method of raising funds in order to earn good money themselves, because people buy stock exchange tokens. It's all scam

the only big exchange that success to held IEOs just come from binance and huobi only
the other still on progress and look at bittrex , their IEOs not success and the price went down after release on market

Yes, as I have mentioned all these were done by exchanges to fill their pocket since they can see a high demand. I'm not sure if that can be called a scam yet unless they charge exorbitant fees. I'm also not sure anymore if they were really concerned with the crypto community.

I think IEOs have proven to be a wave of fresh air for ico market and we have seen boost in trust among investors especially for the projects listed on big exchange platforms and its impact has been positive for overall crypto market as well which is showing really nice growth now.

People are scared of investing into ICO directly again, most of the ICOs in 2018 struggle to get exchange listings and when they do some on exchanges with little volume and when private sale and pre-ICO investors starts selling the price crash  below ICO price and remaining this way for long, Eden and Tolar are two good example but IEO came with solution to exchange listings and provide initial liquidity in their exchange for some months before the lock tokens are released because this is the main issue long term, how the price would perform when all the locked tokens are released to the market

These guys running IEOs are business people. If they see an opportunity to earn big, they will pounce on that. They only needed to provide the platform and it's profit time. The method is still popular and some would still rush to these exchanges and fight for a place in the IEOs. Let's wait and see once the hype dies down and the price starts falling also.

It's a natural process. ICO ceased to be relevant and they do not enjoy such success as before. So now there is something new, ready to replace the ICO and improve it.

Of course, everything is about $. In 2017 there was a boom in ICOs and that was a fuel for ETH as most of them were on it`s platform.
Binance was aware of that and they introduced their launchpad and they also want their piece of the crowdfunding cake.

Yes, I am very concerned about the ICO now, because most projects always fail in exchange, and the same reason they complain that Bitcoin prices are declining, so their projects die, obviously this is a loss for investors who have bought at ICO prices, and still there are many more ICO stories that are very sad, for example, a project takes away Investor's money or Scam. So, in my opinion, the current IEO will be safer for investors, very different from ICO.

Of course, exchanges do this becuase they want to make money. And customers want protection, just like they did in the past at the era of so called escrows in ICOs.

I agree with you . The IEO is the best solution for this market and greatly reduces risks for investors. According to my assessment, 96% of ICO projects are fraudulent and this causes a great loss for many investors. I think the IEO is being considered a new trend of this market because it is a very popular investment channel in recent months and many projects have brought a huge profit for those who are lucky to join.

it is not just exchanges it is the ICO scammers who could no longer scam people by running the same old thing over and over again so they had to change their methods and adding that centralization of exchanges is currently like the (fake) stamp of approval that gives some newbies that confidence they need to throw their money away. and in the middle of this chaos the exchanges are making a ton of money by getting paid to advertise these scams (give the stamp of approval) while not being liable for anything!
this method will also soon die just like any other previous scammy methods have died.

no they are not . ieo's are backed by legit and big/famous exchanges  ( binance for example have thier own ieo )  so how can you say that they came from a scam ico's ?  the reason why ieo's exist is because they see that people are suffering from the frauds/scam ico's . they want to do something to save people from wasting their cash on these  greedy people  . yet  , there are still legit ico's out there but they are now harder to find .


did the ico died ? no right ? ico's are still here even though most of them are just plain scams  .  ieo's on a nutshell are more legit since they are came from centralized exchange  .  they wont die as long as there are still crypto   .  

They came into existence because exchange thinks that they are going to make a huge profit here, Yobit is also doing that they invite ICO to use their platform to launch their crowdfunding and they charge a huge fee to ICO, so there is huge money to be made for exchanges.

I love IEO because will give competitor for ICO to grow up and have best solution for the future how to have higher price after listing in exchange market and could be more profitable for investor.

It is all about reaching the investors with ease. A project becomes more successful when it easily gets the investors. For the same earlier it was ico and now exchanges have come up with the plans of IEO. Till date very few launch were done through top exchanges, can expect more to happen in the coming days as IEO keeps gaining more attention.

Oh, 96% seems too terrible.
IEO is a logical evolutionary transition from ICO. This is a kind of IPO on the stock market. In this case, the exchange takes responsibility for its reputation for checking the project.

If you gain at the ICO, exchanges also gain. Consider about earnings that come from big volumes.
Also consider binance : big profit, price increase in bnb.

The reason why IEO came into existence is because of the anomalies of ICO which makes it not enticing to invest in them again but with IEO, investors are sure of liquidity for their investments instant which is the bane of many ico projects

The market needed a stable platform for ICOs, and it appeared even in several copies in the form of cryptocurrency exchanges. I am very happy about this.

It just came into my mind right now, so, my question sir, is the IEO's the reason why we are experiencing a bullish move from bitcoin right now? Or maybe, it contribute to the factor that it is? Then how long will IEO's going to dominate the market because I am thinking about bitcoin reaching its ATH really soon.

That’s the point and the basis leads us to; the exchanges are supporting the crowdfunding for personal benefits
So in view of that are ieos really worth it.??

Dyor and don’t be carried away

The growing Crypto market is constantly offering many challenges that require investors to choose. Therefore, ICO is about to die because there are too many scams that lose their trust. The form of capital mobilization from IEO was born to replace and bring more advantages to them, gaining the trust of investors to make them safer, promoting their development opportunities in the future in the market. .

That's just a change in the way to invest unlike ICO, and talking about how it came into exchange I believe several people here have made a similar posts about what if the exchange can be the one selling the coin and do enough verification before introducing the project. If it can reduce the scam from the ico, even though nothing last to be good about crypto so let enjoy it beginning before you start wondering how it come to stay.

People keep finding new ideas to make money so IEO also arise from someone who was smart enough.

IEOs are just another form of ICO so people who trusting the centralized exchange and investing on it will get scammed later.

The ICO market is almost dead. This is due to the large number of scammers who steal investors' money. Therefore, people began to invest much less. In addition, on many projects, the price after ICO falls, which does not add confidence to them.
It is a matter of an IEO, where the exchanges guarantee that a new project is not fraudulent, and the prices for new tokens tend to increase after the end of the IEO. That is why IEO became so popular.

yeah, you're right. The IEO may guarantee the confidence of investors, because trading will be carried out on a market. for now, I think the IEO still has to be developed again, and I think it will become more needed for crypto projects in the future.

Bittrex, for example, for those who have been successful with the sale of IEO for 10 seconds, the fastest is reliable, but Binance also has nothing to fail in my opinion.

Yes. In the beginning, I only knew IEO through  smaller exchanges. But starting at the beginning of 2019 when Binance started the IEO, I saw other  exchanges also had an IEO. Its popularity is amazing. In my country, almost everyone participates in the IEO to be able to xx their assets. I am concerned about this issue if it is like ICO. The call for capital from the IEO is being changed, peoples don't understand the meaning of this.

Its all about money, Exchange will explore all avenues that can generate money for their platform. IEO is the latest trend right now and we can expect more exchange platform will follow suite and try to get piece of the pie in this growing million dollars IEO market.

Its just the same scam with a different name but now exchanges are getting a cut of the money.  Exchanges will take any project as long as they don't get paid.  I really don't hope IEO hype doesn't get out of hand like how ICO hype did.

The question is probably not very serious, because most of the IEO are the opportunities that came because of the dying ICO, so we can say that now IEO can really make you very successful.

What I understand from all this is that the ICO and IEO are the same goal. namely to collect the first fund for the development of the Cryptocurrency project. The difference is that the ICO funds are collected on the Cryptocurrency Web project but if the IEO is in Exchange. So if in my opinion, this IEO is done to minimize fraud from a Cryptocurrency project, which we all know that there are many ICO projects that are deceiving.

At first, I thought Binance was the main originator of IEO until now that you said smaller exchange did first, which exchange is then the first to introduce IEO if it’s not Binance Launchpad, does that mean that it was a stolen idea ?

Many big exchanges claim that IEO was created to prevent investors from falling into the hand of ICO scammer but in the end, I realize that they do this for their own selfish motive, first they charge big money to be listed on IEO platform and secondly they use opportunity to also acquire large part of these projects infernally. If care is not taken, they will end of being like ICOs.

The main problem is liquidity issues after successfully completed token sales. Listing on the exchanges is the biggest question ever for that teams that planned perfectly their roadmap. Exchange-based token sales can solve this problem and new investors can put their money to the table;e safely.

I think these exchanges will definitely earn more conducting IEO than they will earn ordinarily,everything is all about making more money.

It is very good that a new opportunity has appeared to stir up the market. I think smooth market growth may begin soon.

IEOs are convenient, exchange-vetted and pre-checked for scams. It's a good development for future investors. Also it is a sign that crypto fund raising is not dead at all, maybe only ICOs because it's quite riskier, not knowing who the devs are.

What would you expect? Exchanges are businesses and as a part of their profit strategy they will really make things goes a little twist and now they are
making ICO to IEO's. This do become the current trend of investing and we have seen on how they do manage it out the good or advantage of these IEO is that they are
being listed on exchangers once they hit up the funding but on the negative side this is really prone to manipulation still.

So this just proves the OP's assumption that IEOs came to existence because new projects are becoming less and less. Exchanges are simply trying to save their business by lending their platform to start up projects and get paid big time for doing so.

Crowdfunding is where the money is and exchanges want their part from it. They realized that ICOs are
struggling and the investments dropping and Binance was the first one to  step  on  this market.

I don't know about that, but clearly the IEO is currently the right solution for many ICO scammers. There may not be many IEOs, but from some IEOs it can raise funds more than the ICO. Scammers will be destroyed by this IEO

It under that development process where company owners would like to proceed for a new form of project platform in the event that it could eliminate doubts for the investors and they'll come up for IEO in order to separate from ICO which is the start ups of all scam project. And they'll think that, this could renew people mind to change their insights towards ICO and get satisfied with the new one IEO.

Listing fees should be less of their worries when they buy almost all the tokens available for sale and turn around to list the token at 10 times it's ieo value. IEO has its positives over ICO but I don't trust the process.

Well with my objections about ieo; I believe ieos are into existence to make life a lot easy for the true and real projects
Because with a reputable team; confident project dev
Ieo will make you reach your goal

I think that IEO is a great chance to earn money for the lucky ones who managed to buy tokens of new projects. On most exchanges, they rose in the price of x2-x5 and this is a very good profit. In the crypto market, it has long been impossible to earn so much money.

IEO has not really performed better than ICO to me, I know the meet up to target easily and the exchanges assures us that they are genuine projects, but there is a difference between a genuine project and a good one, genuine one means that they are real and can be trusted not to run away with clients money without having a project but they are not so good when it comes to the value of the projects its, what products are they coming up with, are they good enough to discourage the investors from Later dumping the coin, which I see that majority of their products are still being dumped after entering exchanges.

You have a good point, they want to sustain their business if there are no new projects, people will lessen their interest to pour in their money in their exchanges, we all know that new coin that has unique features generate interest from investors, so because of this they launched their own crowdfunding platform.

In my personal opinion, IEOs came into existence basically to solve the problem of investors getting scammed and also to encourage both the old and new investors to invest into up and coming new crypto projects in order for these projects to survive in the crypto ecosystem. In order to keep the crypto ecosystem growing, something needed to be done to avoid exchanges from losing people who trading on their platforms and about how ICOs are now the avenue for scamming investors.
IEOs are just a new version of ICOs with additional features to help make the crypto ecosystem.

Well as a enthusiast i am not really a fan of IEOs, because i believe this is a sort of built by hype. Well as for example the BTT, well for me i am a fan of TRX platform but to think that BTT is fastly soldout because of IEO is just because that is in binance. Those who by are into fast transition of profits not those who really supports the technology it self. Well for I guess for me that's not a good indicator. Well we all know if Bittorent token is subject to gain a lot in the future or to build an empire but that's only from a point of view a normal people like me.

When peoples put their money on a most well-known platform like binance, they will feel more confident.
Cryptocurrency investors are still on the crypto sphere, they just afraid of scam project.
It is shown from the sold out IEOs within short time, even seconds.

Yes, the existence of IEO is probably a method to help the market become more vibrant, especially ICO field when people's impression of it has been too bad in recent years, the launch of the IEO will help new and old investors begin to return to the investment market. We can see the results that the IEO created, many investors have returned to the market, a new wave has spread but I believe the IEO will soon end when it is a strategy to help people come back, when that succeeds, it will soon be removed.

They came into this market to make improvements on attracting investors, and since ICO are not good in the eyes of the investors they have to look for a good alternative. IEOs are still new, just like the first month of the ICO everyone is quiet happy not until scammers are joining the game. It can't totally eliminate scammers, because there are some projects that can still scam the investors even if its already listed. Exchange is not a guaranteed of a higher value in the future, you must still look for the project itself.

I have seen plenty of that in the recent times, and they were quickly sold out, I'm not sure what the reason they have to start it, but I think it's beneficial for them to have that too. It's an easy guess that they are earning a lot there. Maybe they also buy from it, the individuals there or something.

Think about it, when you are an owner of an exchange or a part of the majority stakeholders in a company, wouldn't you want more income to come into your way?

Still more like it was created to fully suit their own need, Binance came up with the idea while the developers are probably thinking of ways to make their coin appreciate and that is why they brought such product, so as to enforce it on people once the IEO platform gains wide recognition.

If they are not so biased in their operation of IEO, why didn’t they limit the exchange coin to BTC alone, why did they have to enforce people to buying BNB first before being able to participate in the IEO, which makes someone who has no interest in BNB but the project alone have no choice than to get the BNB coin. I still see these as big manipulations from the exchanges.

Everybody has their opinion why IEO came into existence, but this is my take on it, I saw that there were a lot of scammers coming into the ICO market and this was becoming a very big issue in the crypto ecosystem because it became so difficult to differentiate which project is which and you might fall I to the hands of a scammer without knowing, this is why already trusted exchanges had to come up with a system that would enable investors invest in a project and make profit without having fear of losing their funds.

Yes, I am happy and love IEO for two reasons behind some other reasons like many people do mention here and there.
The first reason why I appreciate the existence of IEO is that it has eliminated the risk factor for the investors who would normally invest blindly in the ICOs and would get robbed.

The second thing I like about IEO is the fact that the crypto startup actually focuses on the project and the marketing is dealt by the exchange which conduct IEO and as a result it works. It might gives more free time for devs to focus on developing their project unlike they need to spend lots of efforts on promoting their ICO to get enough funds for their project.

Indeed, the current IEO is better, but scammers must be like other ico, but with the sale of the IEO, investors can increase to return as the soul that once existed.

Those crimes committed during ICOs where the major reasons why the IEOs came onboard and we the investors are happy to be free at last. Last years early i lost almost $1002 on a scam project which appeared to me legit but was tricked in the process. My believe is, IEO will be more far better than the ICO. 

there is no guarantee to that. even exchanges can be a tool for scamming investors, keep in mind that most investors will dump most of the time when they see opportunity to profit. if all those users in the exchange are the only who bought the token thru IEO, the higher the chance of these tokens getting dumped when market is opened. or maybe we can also say the team along with the exchange can be in cahoots.

IEOs are actually improvements on ICOs, the shortcomings faced by ICOs have been tackled by IEOs of big exchanges. For instance the fear (after buying the token of a project during ICO) of not listing has been tackled and investors are more confident to put their funds on IEOs

Well I go in with the idea of the OP,  majority of those exchange don't wanna lose,  that's why they bring in IEO,  and to my own understanding IEO is just out there for quick money,  majority of the IEO had dumped below listing price so much

IEOs (https://coincodex.com/ieo-list/) have started to substitute ICOs, here are some top ranked IEOs from the past few months:

 https://coincodex.com/article/3449/top-5-ieos-by-roi/

I think that this is just another way of making money in the crypto industry. Such schemes have no future. Everything is as old as the world. A pump and then a dump ... WE have seen this already hundreds of times.

Because many investors were scammed millions of dollars by fraud ICO in the past.
IEO is one of the solution to preventing fraud projects by holding it on a legit exchange platform.

I the reason why IEO came on board is to solve some of the inadequacies of ICO and the most important of it is the issue of instant liquidity after the sale which is somehow hard when it comes to ICO. Another ICO issue that IEO came to solve is the issue of scam which I think exchanges would have vetted the project before running the IEO.

Exchanges are definitely making money from holding IEOs on their platform. I believe they actually buy a huge percentage of the tokens and they influence the listing price of the token which means huge profit for them at the expense of customers.

Yes,the main intention is to make more money from advertising on big exchange and also people will trust more when it is advertised by the big exchange like Binance.

In my own understanding, IEOs come into existence owing to the fact ICOs failed or rather many ICOs are scams. Now with IEO the issue of scam will be reduced to the least minimum owing to the fact the exchanges will do enough research so as to protect thier memebers or investors.

in my opinion not because ico is dying but this is more to the "profit" that the exchange that does the IEO gets because if the IEO offered is successful they will certainly benefit because the IEO token is listed in their exchange

IEOs are here to ensure scam is reduced. Why I said so is, an exchange like Binance wouldn't want their members getting scammed, so surly will ensure any IEO they are promoting is legit. At least, investors will feel calm buying. The issue that might arise is after IEO will the team be able to offer what they promised??

ICO pulls money from the crypto industry. IEO will probably leave more money in crypto. And this is one of the ways to centralize crypto. Humanity is not yet ready for a decentralized financial and service system.

During a long period of a bear market, ICO projects have lost their reliability and availability, primarily because of the large number of frauds in this type of activity. Therefore, the teams began to look for other options to raise funds and distribute new tokens. So the idea of raising funds through the stock exchange was born. However, Binance, for example, took into implementation only four proposed projects out of 60. Where will the other projects go? Most likely, they will go to distribute their tokens through ICO.

if you look at data that crypto users are still very small, it proves that crypto still looks complicated to be used by many people, but in the future people will be smarter and technology and electronics will increasingly mushroom and it will be a great opportunity for everyone to use crypto to invest through IEO or ICO.

I guess that IEO came into existence because of ICO problems. Since many ICOs are scams IEO took its place and IEO is now the new ICO. The idea of IEO I think somehow crushes the idea of ICO since it is more secured than it. And this is what people wants, a secure investment opportunities.

In simple terms IEOs are meant to reduce the scam rate which was on high increase. This is because the exchange will make due diligence to protect all. But something still bothers me, in the long run will they be able to deliver what was promised or written in the whitepaper? Let me keep my fingers crossed.

I do not think that something sensible will come of it. IEO dictate their terms, it just destroys the meaning of cryptocurrency. The exchanges centralize all management in one place, create terrible conditions.

I don't know why they are existence, but it's a pretty popular direction now. This way exchanges strengthen the credibility of their coin too. For example, as did the exchange Binance.

It is quite obvious it is still all about the money. Didn't you know that before? What world do you live in? Yes, they want our money and we want make money too. As simple as that!

The answer is direct; which is to reduce scams and save investors from running into unwarranted losses. Exchanges won't be happy if their investors gets scammed and to ensure this, they will take appropriate actions to verify upcoming projects.

Really? After so many opinions in this thread you still don't know why they were created?

Exchanges need money to expand to other countries so they are offering IEOs. People want a safe profitable investment and are tired of ICO scams. It's a pretty straightforward relationship.

This seems to be a normal development after ICO failure
the emergence of new projects worthy of support has led to the emergence of a new financing tool
IEO is a challenge for new projects and platforms organized by
let's follow and watch Will you succeed?

I think ieo appeared due to the fact that the ico is a lot of scams , and the market was waiting for when there will be good projects and most importantly reliable

One thing to note is that, the benefits of an IEO is to ensure Projects can be assured of a more legitimized token sale as they have the official backing of an exchange who determines that they have done their due diligence on the integrity of the project. Projects also have their tokens exposed, particularly in the case of Binance, to vast audiences of investors who are eager for new opportunities to profit. The near-immediate sell-out of BitTorrent and Fetch.AI are indicative of this advantage for projects.

I partially agree with you. But I think that the IEO attracts new users to the exchange. Also, the IEO has a positive effect on the price of exchange tokens. Therefore, I think that the IEO is very beneficial for exchanges.

Reasonable reasons might be that investment in ICO is certainly no longer profitable. And plus investors who invest in the IEO might benefit greatly. Therefore IEO is getting more and more days. And this will be a threat to the ICO. Because lack of investor confidence in the ICO certainly makes the IEO more attractive.

investing in IEO is much better and profitable than i'm investing my money in conventional ico like now, especially IEO from big exchange chance to pump and make profit are bigger and profitable than participate in conventional ico withut any protection for user and guarante the price after listing are same from ico price

That is right, and I think that they have not deviated from that objective but is there any real assurance of an IEO Platform guaranteeing that a project listed on its platform will not get dumped and eventually crash after being listed?

I have always believe this about IEO, I believe there is no way scammer can penetrate, but scamming is not the only challenge that we face in ICO, what is the difference between a scammer disappearing with one’s fund and a coin that turns shit with zero value when it gets dumped. So this is what I am still not clear about concerning IEO.

an ieo should bring back the trust of the investors. it also ensures that the project is actually traded on a exchange. some ico token did not make it to any exchange. in addition, the exchange wins new users and earns by fees. so it is good for all sides. i really hope no scam project ever creates an ieo. that would deter the investors again and destroy the trust in ieo.

I think i also buy the idea of ICO dying and big centralize exchanges are in fear of loosing their source of money which is listing fees as stated above by the OP. But i also think that one of the major reason for IEOs is to tackle the flaws of ICOs and to limit scam projects in the market.

They answer the problem of scams in ICO, the IEO brings the reputation of the exchange also, if the IEO were conducted by Binance or other big exchanges, people would trust and Binance would make sure it's a legit team that are managing the project as their reputation is also at stake.

Yeah, i have thought this question because IEO is very popular recently.
I think IEO exist because many investors have not satisfied about the existing ICO.
Many projects were fraud, not according the road map, etc.

Is the IEO the solution?

I think this is indeed a lot of people say right. but the IEO itself has a lot of things to improve about transparency which I think are still lacking. sales that are in seconds and also about their review reviews. it could be just a pump game and when it's done nobody cares. The reputation of the exchange does make IEO sales more interested. Later we will witness how this iso trend will also be an attraction for Scammers !.

IEO trend 2019 was launched by CZ and their BTT crowdsale. After that other less popular exchange joining this trend, starting their own launchpads and exchange tokens. And yes, all this about money and IEO model is profitable for both sides - exchanges sell they tokens and increase trade volume and projects raised money for further development.

well, maybe you are right,
but, the investors also get benefits from this IEO
because, as far i know, even a succesful ICO project will not always being listed on any exchange after the crowdsale finish, investors must wait for some period time,,
but, if the project do an IEO, after the IEO ended, the project will automatically tradeable on the exchange my friend

The IEO is only in demand if it is done by a large market such as Binance, but if the small IEO market is the same as the ICO, it will take more than 1 month to complete because investors lack interest.

IEO has changed the trend of investment in the past of investors. Many investors think that through project exchanges it is possible to reach more investors and easily complete the capital call in a short time. Especially after the end of the IEO tokens are listed directly on the exchange support so they can sell them immediately after being listed.

IEO is booming now because ICO fully of scam and fraud.
now IEO grow and inestor start away from ICO and looking for IEO.
the problem here is not why IEO grow but why ICO so bad and full of scam and fraud.
we need to stop scammers on ICO, we need to get ICO back like before.

I don't have to think hard to know why these exchanges allow crowdfunding, the answer is know to everyone, IEO is the perfect solution to crowdfunding and it works with no issues at all, new money are flowing into crypto space and that's all that matters to take crypto to higher level

This is a comical but true angle to it all... The IEO mechanism has probably made it easier for these exchanges to list new coins..Asides from IEOs am yet to see binance list a coin on their platforms.. Guess they must be making much more from IEOs than normal listing of coins..

I believe that IEO is much safer than ICO. When an exchange conducts an IEO on its platform, it carries reputational risks, so it is likely that projects undergo a thorough analysis before being added to the exchange. As a result, investors save time, and the project receives funds for development and listing on the stock exchange in the shortest possible time.

I agree with your opinion that if there is no IEO maybe there will be no more people who dare to make a new project because there are too many frauds that occur in the ICO.
with the existence of an IEO automatically can increase the confidence of investors to invest in it.

Indeed. Also, IEO allows investors not to take a risk in investing through non-reputed ICO projects. By this way of raising a token, more traders and investors can psrticipate specially if the exchange is very popular such as Binance, Bitfinex, Bitmex, and etc. however I'm not sure if they are supporting such IEO.

That's right, making money has never been more and more diligent and finding new ways to make money easier in the crypto market. It is not difficult to find, it is important that you want it or not and the IEO is an example of finding new ways to make money  ;D

I think the difficulty of previous ICO projects is the route available on the exchanges. To do that, they need to prepare a lot of procedures and spend a lot of time negotiating with the exchanges as well as attracting support from the community. However, with the IEO, the route is ignored, they have their own trading platform that can ensure that after purchasing the IEO will be exchanged directly at that exchange. However, this is also very difficult to verify that an IEO project can be good or bad, we need more information about IEO projects to be able to verify the project and this as well as the ICO projects Investors need to verify their information. Most of the time I see that the IEO is not much different from the ICO, but they give up all the advertising steps for the community that include everything so that large exchanges have many users available to help them advertise their projects. . I believe there will be many good IEOs in the future and then we need to be cautious :)

I don't think that IEO is a ultimate solution against of ICO. But now it’s very popular hype. And i think many long time ICO's going SCAM and fraudulent project we are looking. So that investors going to demotivated minded. In that case, IEO is removing all kind of frustration and now again IEO project collected a lot of dollars.           

ICO one after another fails, investor confidence in ICO has recently dropped significantly. For a growing market this is unacceptable. The IEO tool suggests changing the quantity to the quality of new projects, thereby attracting more investors and the attention of the cryptoindustry society.

Have you guys heard of IEOs before Binance launched theirs?
You speak as if it's the "savior" but before Binance there were already existing IEOs on smaller exchanges. It has not created a buzz and I doubt that they were able to attract more investors compared to ICOs.

I think that the times of the wild west and the gold rush, when any ICO gave a large income in the past, if someone wins, someone will definitely lose.

If new opportunities give legal guarantees for investors, as well as the possibility of insuring investment funds, then indeed this option promoting new projects will earn more confidence among all users of cryptocurrency.  If this really happens, then the ico companies will cease to exist.

In the beginning, I did not believe that the IEO can be profitable, I thought that this is another type of fraud. When I saw that they could be profitable, it was already too late - the number of people willing to invest in new projects became very large and it became very difficult to become a real investor in the IEO on the major exchanges.

At the first impressions, it was like the new version of the old token sale organisation. Now the difference is cleared by the big exchanges and real investors will never look back. After  the end of old style token sale IEOs will lead token sales to a new and healthy channel.

In my point of understanding and the research I have made about IEOs, it was basically introduced to help bring back investors into the crypto ecosystem and also to assure other investors already in the ecosystem that it is still safe to invest in cryptocurrencies. IEOs are just an improved version of ICOs which will help reduce the funding of scam projects.

Is the same at it was with the ICO, the best project is the one free coin where people will make good develop, this is my opinion.

It's win-win-win in this ecosystem. 
Exchanges can increase the liquidity of their own token by shouldering the risk of IEO. 
Investors can now trust exchanges to vet projects and monitor the development of the project. 
Projects receive funding from investors and partnership with exchanges. 

And those who lose money will always look for alternative and that’s the beginning of IEO. Since ICO right now is not profitable, investors will have to make a decision where they need to earn money as much as possible. IEO became more profitable nowadays and succeed with many project.

What you said is right about the major concept of the IEO platform, this is strictly the solution to the problem that many investors are facing through the ICO platform, with IEO now, many people have the mindset of it being trusted, since it is being verified thoroughly by these exchanges before making it popular.

The only loop hole I am seeing with IEO project is that scammers will still have a way of penetrating, especially through these week exchanges, but one can still control that by participating only in projects that are from reputable exchanges such as Binance and any other good one out there.

No exchange will be afraid losing money since crytocurrencies are the one who needs them. IEO was created as an alternative to ICOs since most people do not trust ICO investment due to scam and not being listed in an exchange.

Well, IEO is part of an exchange strategy of making money, it's equally a way of building some confidence in crowdfunding as it helps to minimize the risk of fake teams and shitty projects. We this IEO stand the test of time? No, because scammers have already started taking advantage of some smaller exchanges to bring shitty projects. It's wise to buy from a reputabel exchange and cross check any project conducting IEO.

I think scammers are inevitable. Even with this IEO innovation, it is not easy to just invest. the biggest exchange market started this crowd funding but even them can not insure at how much and when the profit would come.

I agree with what have you told, but I do not think that people were getting bored of ICOs and so the concept of IEO evolved, I think ICOs cheated a lot on people, and many people I know had to bear heavy losses because of that. So they will soon become obsolete, any better tech or any better use case makes the older one go away, In case of IEO benefits are that the risk is partly on the exchange itself which is holding the IEO. And at least exchanges can be held accountable for anything which goes wrong. Rest crypto is an ever evolving industry and currently at a very nascent stage.

Yes you got to the point IEO is another strategy way to make money for  the exchange , i have seen many IEO in some different exchange and i would not invest in all some of this project it look poor project to me!

IEOs are for those who can afford the big investment amounts for a token sale on the secure exchange. IOE is a new way of HYPE and this HYPE will cover the reality soon.

IEOs evolved from ICOs because of the need to bring some level of confidence to investors. Some of the fears they were directed to solves include the fear or delay in listing a token after ICOs, a second was to act as some kind of safeguard against scam project since the exchanges were to carry out some sort of vetting of projects before allowing them on their platform. The reputation of the exchange was at stake too.One of the reasons IEOS conducted by Binance (for example)so far has been excell

ICO projects have now lost their appeal due to the high level of fraud among them. Investors cannot verify the ICO team well and distinguish fraudulent ICO projects from normal ones. In addition, many ICO teams, fearing that after listing their tokens will fall sharply in price, they simply don’t list them to the exchange after the ICO. This problem solves the collection of funds in the format IEO.

IEO exists and is considered as the most perfect substitute for ICOS projects. Because investors no longer believe in ICOS projects when ICOS appears rampant along with the fraud takes place. throughout the crypto market. There is no certainty for investors when they buy tokens and cannot get on the trading exchanges or be deceived. IEO projects appear and meet the weak side of ICOS investors they have confidence in when tokens are sold on larger and more reputable exchanges so IEO exists is inevitable.

Too bad for ICO, if this market was regulated, it would not end way.
As for now, I think IEO is the new way of crowd funding and its been very effective, hence it's popular now.


True, but I wish everyone is given a chance to invest in IEO, some good projects can sold out easily, this is not fair for small time investors.
it's necessary that more and more exchanges will participate.

What the essence of implementing IEOs for me, is the alternative or a replacement to the ICO stage, well, basically, ICOs name should be renewed, or somehow be replaced by another system that will going to eliminate its previous status as a less profitable investment and risky in someways. That's why they developed what we called IEOS.

I think IEOs came into existence because of ICOs is pretty dead nowdays and no hype anymore on ICO.

It's really smart to make IEOs came when the ICOs is not in a good condition and the result is amazing right, IEOs become success especially on big exchange like Binance.

It's still a way if ensuring continuity in the crypto space since people weren't investing in ICOs again. But be it as it may, you either loss or gain. During ico you invest and most times the tokens are listed and you can't even sell at half the price you invested because of dumps. IEO came up and same issue. The  Only advantage in IEO is that listing is sure. Unlike ICOs that may not even make it to the exchange.

ICO is not dead, it is just too bleak and desolate when too many projects are not listed and cheated on the market, that also affects the market and investors when there are no new and potential projects, investors cannot make money and the market also reduces competition, development will slow down. Understanding the psychology and knowing what investors need, the emergence of IEO is a more perfect version, limiting fraud with the contribution of reputable exchanges, the idea of the IEO will help maintain the state of operation and market development, maintaining the number of investors

I think IEOs come because there was too much scam on ICOs and a lot of people lose their money, but now with IEOs o think if people choose a trusted and old exchange where to join IEOs and buy they have a good chance to get a profit.

Actually no one has a problem with low or large exchanges. What is seen now is that the interest of the IEO itself is very high, of course investors expect profits on IEO investments. If it is equally profitable for investors and of course this Exchange will continue in the future. I do not know this will last until the IEO.

Binance was the first which realized that ICO market is dying  and they offered a more secure way for investment with Binance launchpad. Of course, they want to control and have bigger  benefit from the investments.

No entirely dying, They know that ICO market need something to restart the market and they introduce their launch pad that serve as a catalyst that restore investors confidence in the ICO market once again.

Its actually a real safe haven for ICO investors, its 100% listing guaranteed and success.

To me, there is still a kittle of difference between ICO and IEO, IEO is more or less like operating on a centralized system while ICO is fully operating on a decentralized system, reason why I said this is because, ICO only involves transactions between the investor and the project developer, but now that IEO is in the market, it involves a third party involvements which are the exchanges before the investment can be done.

Just like the way STO built on the weakness of IPO is the same way IEO built on the weakness of ICO, but I knew IEO will not come without its own challenge, I just read somewhere where a project coated $0.09 for IEO and $0.05 for ICO on same project, this is where the problem of IEO will start from.

Launched a launchpad for safer investments, but today I got the news that binary exchange has been broken into by hackers, have you not read the news today? I was very surprised when a binary exchange was able to be broken into by hackers, even though many already knew that the security exchange binance was very guaranteed.

I think the main reason that birthed IEOs is the fraudulent rate of most ICOs. These fraud was getting too much that investors were no longer willing to invest in ICOs anymore because they do not want to lose their money. Then projects taught the best way to raise funds from investors is to launch their tokensale through a platform that will guarantee it's legality. And the investors responded well because they can now participate in tokensale without being scammed. And also the exchanges also provide liquidity for the token upon listing.

IEO platform will never guaranteed any legality on any IEO that launch using their platform. Since this IEO project can still scam if they choose to run with investors money. the only good thing about IEO is the promised listing after the token sale which is the core of any token project.

Every day there are hundreds of projects calling for capital in this market appear and very few projects can succeed so IEO is a new trend and many investors participate in this year. I think the presence of the IEO is necessary to help people stay away from scammers and we can choose the best projects in this market. Of course the IEO investment will be very risky if you participate in a poor exchange or a bad market situation can make you lose money very quickly.

maybe they think its the best way to attract investor and this is works.
even some IEO has bad price after launch.
dont know this is last forever or not, but ICO still exist during this time.
so IEO will not give big effect to ICO.

IEO results tokens always have a good price if the IEO is done in a large exchange
indeed, currently the ICO is still there, but most ICOs fail because no investors are interested, investors are more interested in the IEO for now, so the IEO has a very big impact on ICO

Totally agree, they need to feed traders with a new and fresh project, they live on traders actions, trading, withdrawal and deposit, without new coins or project to satisfy the appetite, the income will stop, new tokens are their cash cow.

It's works very well. Token sale combined with a big trust and popular exchange such binance is giving a good result to all parties. The token sale owner is happy because the token sold out, the exchange also happy because many investors will buy in their exchange and also using BNB tokens. Investors also happy because they can participate on token sale without afraid.

Just a head's up, STEX will now opening their platform for IEO purpose, In fact they are currently running the very first coin project on their IEO platform. This is big move for STEX and since this is the to go place for startup projects we can expect more projects on their IEO platform. Lets just hope they filter out scammy and fake projects.

To provide a safer way of investment procedure than ICO's did, also gives confidence for the investors for prevented scams.
An IEO being run in a widely known exchange like binance will boost the sale of their tokens,

That's the benefits when certain project got the chance being offered inside big exchange like binance the liquidations will be much easier and investors will take their part to participate and try harder to earned from this new way of investment, the market within this field already have a lots of supporters.

because IEO is safer than ico, investor can invest their money in some project with escrow from exchange are launched IEO for some project.
but participate IEO in small exchange it's not worth it for me, because some case even using exchange for launch their crowdfound, some project are failed raised fund from small exchange because shortage of participating investors.

You are right. My first knowledge of IEOs came from Latoken and Probit but was popularised by the big exchanges when they found out it has become more successful than ICO in terms of fund raising

Earlier I thought that IEO save crypto market and return the trust of investors to new projects. However, I rejoiced in vain. IEOs can also cause damage to their investors. I now see only one plus from IEO - this is a quick listing of new projects on a large exchange.

binance have the liquidations and many project launchpad are ended successfully, i'm one a part who take the chance to participate in binance IEO.
IEO from big exchange can give investor more profit because the exchange are supported by whales.
investing in IEO is more profitable than standard ICO campaign and now IEO are hyped

Actually, Binance held it's first IEO Gifto at the end of 2017, but that time it was not necessary for the projects to pay exchanges for holding IEO as they were successfully collecting funds through traditional ICO format. When people almost stopped participating in ICOs, IEO appeared and it became popular because of fast profit for investors.

The money Binance was stolen by hackers through the appropriation of their hot wallet. I think Binance's security agents should keep this information carefully to avoid future unfortunate losses

IEO created only to attract new users and money to the exchange. Fraudulent projects from the IEO did not save, as the exchange does not project audits. There was already a case when one of the major exchanges canceled IEO, at the last moment, because of information about the fraudulent project.

i think you are wrong, if we see few month ago IEO from bittrex, some project want launch IEO in bittrex but have issue with their company bittrex rejected the project.
exchanger must filter and choose best project, because their name are betting by that project, look case from big exchange like Binance, Huobi and Bittrex

In my opinion the IEO is the newest way of selling Tokens to the public by using the exchange market as a means of selling, so the IEO is expected to return to creating trust from Investors, because we know that ICO is currently getting worse.

Not so long ago, IEO appeared very quickly gaining momentum, compared to ICO.  But as for the exchange of cryptocurrencies, it seems that IEO is beneficial to both parties.  Investments are collected in a very short time.

If you analyze new concepts for the implementation of new projects, then the IEO will most likely benefit the exchange and investors, and only the crumbs from the table will remain the developer of the project.  Nevertheless, the investor has always suffered in the company's ico market.

IEOs came into existence owing to the failure of ICOs. That is, ICOs has caused more harm than good thus giving this space a bad name. But since the advent of IEOs, participating in public sale is now easy and convenient.
So, to answer your question, IEOs came into existence to correct the mistakes caused by ICOs..

i think its for the investor to easily trust those projects having an ieo, because it's already in the exchange not like ico's

Ever since IEOs came into existence I don't think investors have ever complain of getting scammed.
It is worthy to know what exchanges are not to be held accountable if the project fails to deliver what the team promised. I think this is where most people get it wrong; the follow the hype surrounding the IEO and when they don't get their expected return they start complaining. This is entirely different from getting scammed which is rampant in ICOs.

It was because most peoples trust popular existing exchanges more than a new project to invest.
Investors has experienced much loss from investing in no good ICO projects in the past.
So now, the IEO hopefully will bring back the trust from the investors in cryptocurrency world.

IEOs have many other benefits other than the fund raising facility as well and are much more profitable than ICOs. Additional benefit is its third party uses or authority which is the exchange itself between the project and the user. There is no need to worry about certain scams or issues which sometimes exist in the ICOs but are not found in IEO. It is in our benefit and we should get the benefit of these projects.

I don't see it that way, exchanges that allows or introduce IEO on there platforms risks there own reputation as well and I bet many are tired of scam projects ,there is differences between scam project and failed project

i never think in this angle its really valid point . Yes it looks like exchanges donot want to loose their potential earning or income from new listing . It may be the reason for new IEO . I am strongly IEO , ICO for a time being atleast for in this decade we dont need much crypto project to be funded . There is enough projects out there to support . Some of them like NEM recently had financial crisis.

Exactly. Binance’s IEO have been pretty successful in the market since long. It is equally profitable for not just investors to put in their money in IEO but for the crypto startup as well. They get access to some quick funds which in case of ICO had not been there due to the scammed nature of ICO. So yeah, Binance is the place to out in the money.

Not all project can get listed on a reputable IEO platform like binance. Strict compliance is being done to all projects that wanting to get listed to prevent scammers and fake projects from getting listed.

IEO platform is just a place to sell tokens and the success of the project will not depend on the platform, so it the project failed then IEO platform is not blamed.

in my opinion for IEO maybe some big exchanges think, making crowdfunding platform (launchpad) in the future certainly can make them a profit, before that can be an alternative investor to choose between IEO, ICO, even STO and IEO safer, the only potential scam will occur if the launchpad which held the IEO is a new launchpad

IEOs began on less well known exchanges before being picked up by major platforms like Binance, Houbi, okEX, Bittex, and Kucoin etc. and are gaining in popularity due to the ICO market declining because of too many quick cash grabs with poor quality products, and this trend has improved the standard investors can expect from the more reputable launchpads and potential ROI which has had a positive impact on crowd funding

I believe you're right on this. It's all about the exchanges thinking up new ways to keep the income flowing but in doing so, they are doing the entire community as well as new projects a favor. At least I can trust a project backed by an exchange (http://bit.ly/2K0GUby) a bit more as their reputation is also on the line.

I think IEOs came into existence to replace ICOs and other old exchanges which were being occupied by scammers though it started on a less note.

Well for me I think the crypto space actually needed something new and well acceptable method of fund raising rather than ICO and what is the more reason a lot of IEOs has turned out to be successful.
