What do you think, IEO better than ICO or STO or they are just the same with only difference in system?

thats right, all methode have same purpose with different system
but i think STO and IEO just a transformations from ICO, but i think IEO is better than ICO and STO
why ? because after the IEO period a project will automatically tradeable on exchange  ;) maybe thats the main benefits from IEO

They're all the same thing underneath: crowdfunding events using cryptos (https://crypto.bi/z/threads/what-makes-stos-a-good-crowdfunding-medium-.1065/).

Personally I think IEO's are the most dynamic of them all these days since you won't have to wait for your token to be listed anywhere - it already is. Also exchanges will likely vet the projects, so the scams should be a lot fewer.

I also think IEO is better even if all are similar, and the main advantage is as already people say the listing on an exchange because there was a lot of ICO who not get listed on good trade volume exchanges.

It doesn't matter. Neither is better than the others. You have to be capable to investigate the project itself, not the way they gather money or investors. So I think you have to concentrate on the team, whitepaper, development prospects, social impact and other factors. Whether it is a IEO, STO or ICO, is less important. I think you can get scammed with either of these forms of crowdfunding if the project is scummy.

looking at the present market trend i would prefer IEO are more popular we may seen more secured and furtistic development tokens get launched in new IEO format

For investor's security, I would go for STO.  Since STO need to undergo legal process.  This mean they are 100% legit and would think twice before screwing their investors. IEO and ICO may have an easier access but I would prefer security with regards to my investments.


They have different system and you can check this site (https://www.bluebelt.asia/what-are-differences-between-ico-ieo-and-sto/) to know more about them

For the IEO, this might be better than the ICO. and also STO is actually recommended because they are not careless in funding. but I still don't have the STO system and I have never invested. but I observed that some projects have used STO.

Ieo is now good only for a quick listing. ICO investors are afraid of a long freeze of tokens. After all, some teams may not flip their coins on the stock exchange for years coming up with various excuses.

Whatever the name be, the thing you should look while investing is the project itself.
ICO and IEO are the ways of collecting the fund and STO is a way of giving back profit to the investors.

But if you want to earn of your investment, you should do a total research of the project and the team. Who are involved in the project and what are their experience, how they plan to use the capital and how long would it take them to deliver it back. If you are aware of these things, you'd never be sad after investing.

The purpose of organizing the ICO, STO and IEO are always the same. The purpose of the three is to provide the fund support to projects need to develop. However, there are some differences between the three of them. IEO is the more preferable for me between these three. Because in IEO, the project is controlled by the exchange. And this makes IEO more reliable for me.

I think all of those fund raising strategy are almost the same in standing since whatever we chose don't matter if the project don't deliver or performed as expected. Moreover, I can take part on any of those events on the consideration that the project I chose would bring results regardless of what type of fund raising scheme they would conduct.

the main purpose of the ICO and IEO is to collect funds by selling tokens just a different way, IEO is one step ahead because after the sale is finished eating is directly registered at the exchange it can make investors more confident.

It seems to me that IEO is the worst of all, as the exchanges force projects to artificially maintain the course of a coin for a certain period. And after its completion, the project is waiting for a sad result.

I think the main difference is after IEO tokens can be tradeable at that exchange at least so investors can be sure they will have place to sell their tokens so will not ask that question when exchange i  don't see another difference all they are the ways to raise money and everything depends from team not the way of raising ,now Moozicore IEO is ongoing on exmarkets.

I think in fundamental they are same to me but when we look into details, nowadays ieo’s are more profitable than the sto’s and ico’s for investors.

Security Token Offerings are in my opinion the best solution for promising companies, because it allow individuals to invest in a legally compliant way. In the case of Kriptomat STO (one of my favourite crypto companies), they share dividends with their investors.

A company that appeals to its users before dealing with institutional investors, we love that !

For those who may be interested, it's live : https://kriptomat.io/sto/

The third goal is the same, it's just that the way it is run is different, and the place is also different, because the three of them aim to make the project successful through the funds collected from investors and others, only in that case the IEO is more reliable because it is directly held in exchange and collaboration between both parties to agree on this.

STOs doesn't make sense to me if it's not offered by top established companies in the world like Microsoft, amazon, Alibaba etc. Atleast these companies have a proven track record and investors can be confident in it. Unlike these scam projects with zero seed fund, zero working product on and offline

I think STO is better because it has revenue share, investing in real STO is less risky. All IEO % ICO that has launched end up being dumped by few opportuned investors.

not all ICO or IEO that have a STO base can become successful and can avoid dumping prices, if they don't want to experience a dump then at least the coin development must be good and can have benefits for many people.

now, in my opinion, IEO is better than ICO, because they have a real concept, which is having a future in exchange, if a token is posted in an exchange as the IEO system, then the possibility of tokens to fall will be very unlikely, STO also has advantages, by prioritizing security tokens, but STO is closer to the ICO concept, which is now being abandoned.

in my opinion everything is good and all three contribute to the development of cryptocurrency. but now I am more interested in STO, because it has different and unique things from ICO or IEO.

I don't think IEO is better than ICO and STO, they are the same to me. They have their own advantages that cannot be equated, the IEO may be safer because it is supported by exchange, maybe that's just me.
But I am very supportive of the existence of this IEO, because investors are again interested in crypto after the scammers attack in 2018.

We can see IEO as the best for the current time. So, we all know that IEOs spread wider at the time of all available. The place of sale is another important issue, but this subject belongs to all of them.

As we can see right now, Initial exchange offerings is the best option right now while the initial coin offering and the security token offerings are struggling to stand after a rough ride back in 2018. So many energies are on initial exchange offerings.

As exchange users are potential investors in case of IEO, it reduces marketing costs. Unlike ICOs, investors dont have to wait for exchange listing and tokens are tradable immediately there after. Also IEO enhances liquidity. IEO will clearly kill ICO concept. Thereby, IEOs seems better and relatively safe to me

I just want to pause a while and give my respect to ICO which really give everyone a chance to make their dreams come true. Though some really took advantage of it, it is undeniably great in terms of launching a token or a coin. But among the three (3), ICO, IEO and STO, I prefer to chose IEO as of this time because the token will be listed immediately to a certain exchange which give assurance to those who invested on the project.

I think we are just trying to nickname them and ico was the beginning on how funds were raised for cryptocurrencies projects but it failed the investors because of scam projects then I now see the new ways of raising funds that is a bit safe but almost the same process and that is thro ieo.

I think most of them are basically the same but i will prefer ieo for obvious reasons which includes the fact that they are more likely to be traded afterwards as they might not need immediate external listing

STO is better than ieo and ico in investment perspective. Crypto projects should be designed as a profit making business, so investors should be able to earn returns from them. Not just take money from investors in exchange for your tokens that may be worth little to nothing.

At the moment, IEO is better in all respects than ICO or STO, maybe one disadvantage for IEO is that it is very popular and not always possible to take part in it

Today, it is so far the most advantageous option for the project. And this needs to be used. In addition, the market began to get used this trend. What new trend will come up in the coming months? Very interesting!

Few people know about it. Few people know about it. Your words need to be put on the banner of this forum and this rule will see more people and then they will make less mistakes with projects. But in my opinion only a small part of people will seriously perceive these rules.

 In essence, they all differ little from each other, with the exception of security for the investor. In terms of security, IEO is better in my opinion.

Now, the biggest problem for the project is to list on the stock exchanges of its tokens, so IEO is a priority today. In general, ICO is no longer worth paying attention to, investors are not at all interested in them.

The place where the IEO's will be held is really important, having a big exchange like binance gives the project an advantage to collect more fundings out from interested participants, this types of investment right now is really getting more and  more  real investors to ride in, unlike with ICO and STO where interest got lesser from time to time.

It is true that IEO is better than any other method of crowdfunding for now, it is very difficult for scammers to come into the IEO space since it's being regulated by the exchanges themselves and the investors don't need to keep hoping that one company somewhere that no one knows will be able to deliver after funds have been giving to them. The only ways scammers can come into the IEO space is to create their own exchange and make a lot of promises that will make people want to invest in their exchange.

Man, it's already crystal clear that the IEO is becoming stronger than the the STO or ICO. There is no argument about that. ICO has failed they lost the investors trust. I really don't know how to explain the STO because we hardly hear about the, but still suffers in times of raising funds because of the ICO effects.

IEO is better than ICO in the sense that the sales are conducted by a exchange promoting the project. This practically means the project is sure to list in that exchabge. ICO projects sometimes struggle to get listed in an exchange which is not good for investors. STO is also good but not hyped like IEO now.

In this situation. i will say IEO is the better than ico and sto because IEO has more successful than ICO and STO. I think IEO is very good for fight the scammers and build investor confidence about their investment.

The current IEO is better than ICO and STO because many investors are currently not interested in ICO and IEO is a good solution to restore the confidence of an investor in investing on a project. The IEO risked the reputation of the project token behind the big names of the exchanges that held it, so that it was considered far more reliable than the ICO.

I do not choose between ICO, STO and IEO as I do not believe any of these method of collecting funds to push a project is better. The project itself should be honest to ensure investment security. If the project is bad intended, it does not matter whether any of ICO, STO or IEO is launched. I think STO and IEO comes following reports of scams in the name of ICO.

IEO for some reasons is better than ICO, the risk in participating in ICO abounds because of the past scams by some notorious persons who collected funds via ICO and vanished, and others just allow the project to die after listing on exchange. When IEO is conducted on a reputable exchanges, the level of risk is greatly reduced, chances are that they will be listed on such exchange and will attract traders, but they are often not audited, they may not be accountable of the fund collected. Good team with excellent projects still make best of ICO.

If you care about security and regulation for your Invest, STO are right choice. But now a day, IEO are popular method to raise a fund, because in near future,  token will be tradeable and liquid on the exchange which running that IEO. And for ICO,  I don't know if it still worth it for now (due so many scam and fraud was done by this method).

Okay ICO is dead I think, for now sure IEO, STO. I joined Newton, Bittorrent, IOTW IEO and im gonna buy some HTA which I am mining now coz they will have IEO soon as well. For STO, it is harder, a lot of work to do like tokenization, insurance, legals, and the cost for project teams are quite high so I know many teams which has STO plan now are trying to raise funds from some accredited investors and big VC/Capitals. It is said in 6-9 months first STO exchange will be established in Malta while not sure if Asian investors can join the EU STO via the exchange, let us wait and see. IEO is a hot trend not, but I dont think it will live for long.

IEO is better if you have a short timeline for token sale, and IEO is sponsored by exchanges, so it means it just a day or hours or anything to run the campaign, because of the large volume of users to an exchange, as we compared to an ICO where it only depends on promotion of the project and bitcointalk promotion.

for now, I might choose IEO. of the three sales systems, maybe the IEO is certainly a truly serious project. in addition, not only do we conduct research on the project, but the place of exchange also needs to examine the sale of the coin, because it will affect the quality of their place.

To me i prefer IEO . IEO are good for traders aa they ist immediatly on the exchange the IEO was conducted.  STO on the other hand ia more reliable as it meets all the law requirements you can hold for long term without fear of scam exit

At the real time ico want to successful is very difficult, because many and many investor already leave their investing. But one way IEO can be promote ico in exchange and it will be help for token sales. So look it carefully that IEO now good way one.

For me, STO is interesting but the thing that works out now is the IEO. Im sure the tide will lessen later on and will shift with STO. People are just connecting and learning through which system is favored now. Today IEO is trending later on, once legalization of some coins such as btc is being pursue. People now will look very closely on some STO projects that have conservative value of investment.

I do not think that any of the models of attracting investment is better or worse, I believe that this is the modernization that has occurred for the rshnia of the problems that have arisen. Investments in ICO became risky and therefore we saw safer options such as IEO and STO.

For now, ICO has been difficult to get large funds from their offer. due to too many fictitious and scam projects that make many people avoid investing in the ICO. and also the existence of the IEO as a new competitor also led to an investment transition

The IEO is currently a trend chosen by all investors as a deciding factor before making a decision. IEO is done by exchanges, so through your project exchange will reach more customers, and this makes everything more wonderful. IEO makes all projects achieve soft-cap quickly.

for now, in my opinion IEO is because hype is still very high and there are also many IEO projects that sell their tokens in a matter of hours and even some of them are sold in minutes, but for alternative STO is also good because most STO projects have been regulated and I think it's very ensure.

I think it all depends on the project from the token sale, if indeed the project is good, and trusted by the community, then I think the IEO, ICO or STO will be as good

Well like you will never find all the fishes in the pond of equal weight and breeding ability, same goes here. Not all the crowd funding mechanisms and the tokens that are sold in these CFMs are good. But according to data, IEO has been leading the market lately and I think it is a better option than ICO. I am not sure if IEO would compete STO.

The three exchange platforms were created and intended for different purposes yet IEOs are considered the best. Its leading and its been hyped by the people.

STO is the best because investors buy into equity shares of existing companies, hence there is more surety. My second one pick will be IEO since there is assurance that team is genuine and listing is sure.

Majority of the altcoins coming from ICO are having a problem getting into the market or being traded in exchange, IEO solves this issue, traders want to right away trade their coins and potential investors want to see the potential of the coin in the market, some ICO coin cannot deliver that as soon as possible.

For me IEO is better, but for huge whales STo is better , they need regulation and so on. As for ICO it is not for me anymore, the only way for me to gain tokens on ico is participating in bounties

All aspects should require regulation or permission to issue their project for funding, but the fact is that there are many ico who do not do this and make investors also not very interested in investing.

IEOs are definitely free from scam for investors and exchange board. The new scheme makes it impenetrable but it solves the biggest problem of the crypto industry. Afaik there are modest exchanges that can be a token sale platform for new IEOs but I don't want to risk my hard earned coins for testing that.

IEO's for sure. From the group that I'm in, these investors are no longer interested once they see that you're still pushing for an ICO instead of offerings that provide more security to them like STO and IEO. People have already learned from scams and want their money to be taken care first.

I think all of that is good but depend on the project. IEO from big exchangers like binance must be very good and mostly profitable and ICO with good developers team must be have a prospect in the future. I think its depend on our perspective

It is completely different. IEO is exchange fomo and promotes their projects and they are profitable and projects are the same. ICO is an old version and it is just a normal form of capital mobilization and requires project owners to advertise and cost more.
STO is Security Token and it is considered a stock. When investors hold multiple tokens, they can decide to do business and have more benefits.

at this moment ,investors prefer investing in IEO .especially IEO from binance launchpad , it will give them more confidence and certainity about investment result.as we know history in IEO mostly could give investors profits.so this is be the best right now.

All the three are same, nothing is different. However, in recent days, ICO was scammer BUT IEO or STO has changed that theme, at least no direct scam. But indirectly they are the same because those projects are bringing nothing new.

i think we have new project quality in IEO.although not all projects in IEO have good quality atleast its better than ICO.we have certainity when we could sell our token in market.meanwhile in ICO we don't know when we could sell it.

I guess this topic has been discussed many times, to me all are the same, it is just an upgrade as far as am concern. Investors have lost hope in ICO, so dev and team coming up with another way of attracting investors in the form of STO and IEO.

It makes sense to invest in the IEO, STO since both version of token sales can hamper the fraud. IEO is the most promising for investors, that's why almost all new projects have the intention to rebrand themselves with edited ideas.

IEO is the best way to invest in new projects today. Guaranteed by exchange, there is a large amount of liquidity after listed

It seems to me that IEO at the moment is the best way for any company to get fast and stable investments from investors. It is also possible to conduct ICO and STO, but it will be much more difficult to attract investors because now IEO is gaining momentum.

Let's call a spade a spade, ICO phased out already and now IEO and STO are trending. IEO gives listing surety and investors are convinced the project is legit. STO which is my favorite gives investors opportunity to buy equity shares of an already existing company.

It is a little hard to determine which one is better between IEO and STO, but surely they are better than ICO. Both IEO and STO provide more secure ways for investors and they become favorite right now. With IEO, coins can be tradeable on a familiar exchange from the beginning step of coin sales. While STO, the team should fulfill some regulations to provide STO. It seems safer than IEO if it's viewed from legitimation.  

ICO, STO and the IEO's was the three exchange platforms which created and intended with a different purposes. Yet the IEOs are considered the best nowadays because its the leading and have been hyped by the people. But aside from these there was alot of exchange that could also give a good factor from the investor like the dencoin.

Sure enough, from the moment this form of investment is actually just a different way of selling or the system. ICO, IEO and STO, the main goal is to raise funds so they can develop the projects they are running. The rest is just how the sales are in demand by investors.

Majority would probably choose IEO, because this is exchange sponsored token sale which is the best because the happening of the token sale only takes a small period of time, as compared to ICO, why? because IEO to be done in exchanges has a lot of users and supporters so this means that the token  sale to be held in exchanges might only take a short period of time, in ICO, it depends on the promotions of bounty hunters and social media promotions.

I am going from worst to best. In my opinion, ICOs are not more profitable at all and the security is also on the lowest possible level. STOs can guarantee more security but almost nobody wants to make a full KYC by unknown projects. IEO is my choice for now, without any doubt.

Blind choosing, i will say STO is better than the other coz it is backed by company. IEO, even if it's guaranteed to list but i see some project which have nonsense product, also guaranteed listing is not guaranteed profit, we don't know if it's only hype and manipulation game or months after IEO the project is dead and exchange delist it.

But i admit STO also can't be sure will give profit, but atleast it's real project

You might be right about the weak performances of ICO, STO and IEO because we do not have a prefect thing yet but there are certain things you need to appreciate as well. You need to know about IEOs on the best IEO launching exchanges and platforms. They have been doing really great and providing returns to the investors. STO is going to be the trillion dollar CFM in future.

I think project is a lot more important than how it is done. If you find a good project and it is run by someone very known in the world of crypto or even someone that is just a good business person and have a staff of great developers and marketers and designers etc etc then that project could be ICO or STO or IEO and it will still be good regardless of how they do the offering.

However, if there is a coin that is offering in any way or shape and sucks, the owners are idiots, the staff are very small in numbers and not great then it doesn't matter what type of offering it is. So in the long term a coin has only one offering option yet it will continue to exist years after that stage which means the offering is really unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

If the STO is not coming from Microsoft, Amazon or any of the fortune 500 companies, I am not interested. ICOs are now old school as IEOs are better preferred for its security, coordination and timely guarantee of exchange listing. We are here for the money!

IEO is most best among of the two because of this I earn money,  STO is also good compared to the ICO now.
They have different system and I hope the all purposes for the people who invested to this can earn money not for their own sake only what ICO do that scammer create more ICO to scam people. The ratings of ICO now for sure is down compared to the two.

ICO at this moment - the weakest concept of all of the above.
What about IEO held by the exchanges now is hype wave will also fade away, only STO or something else will remain

None is better from my own perspective as i had to get involved in almost the three last year 2018. The same experienced we had while ICO was in place was what we had during STO and currently having it in IEO, then none is better than each other. The commonest thing among them is SCAM, HYPE......ecetera. I am not a fan of these three and none is better than one.

yep , i am agree with this point.investors want certainity about their money, they want to switch their money if IEO already done.by participating in IEO they will able to do this.as we know after IEO done, usually it will directly tradeable in exchanges after few days later.

In terms of security, I think STO really has it, because STO can be said to be regulated by government, while IEO is being regulated by exchanges. There is tendency of an exchange providing the IEO to be a scammer themselves which will still expose investors to scammers, except we stick with exchanges like Binance alone.

STO in the other hand, it is absolutely impossible for any of the companies to come out as a scammer, because government has all the necessary details to track them down and peradventure they are not able, there will be a form of compensation from the government to the investors. ICO is still very good but zero when it comes to security.

They are greatly different STO should be the best as it offered a good opportunity to its investors as share holders of the company STO guaranteed full security it very hard for STO project to dump as it legally licensed even before the token sale as a result you can never witness a scam STO project all like ICO. IEO is just an advance ICO though the exchanges almost play the role of sec for the safety of investors and their own reputation. The project are properly screened before they can be accepted by any Exchange to carry out IEO.

Do you really know about STO? I think STO is the safest form today. But there are things to consider when participating in STO that your capital can be held for a long time. Refer to the STO here: https://bitcoinvietnamnews.com/sto-la-gi

Dude, is that used your local language? But in IEO your token will have distributed instantly and you don't need waiting so long to get your token and trade it in the market. STO is the same form with ICO and that just used the different name and so far both can be considered as the same thing but the different thing when both meet with a new thing that develops its product like hinellecoin.

i think, an ieo of a big exchange is very safe and offers more protection than an ico. a sto is also quite safe, but only if you can find an official confirmation of an authority for it.
without such a confirmation anyone can claim that he organizes a sto. in this regard a sto is as uncertain as an ico.

STO Most likely it will be better than the IEO and ICO. Because their permit process is better than the two that are not so clear their method of managing permits, we will later see for ourselves which investors will choose when the ICO has fallen and the current IEO Trend still like a lot.

IEO for me. ICOs are overrated right now and it has sure a lot of scams like that. IEOs are more secured and effective. Have a more relevant information and marketing that helps the project itself, both the exchange and the project. STO, I dont know.

It seems to me that lately we have all been convinced of the danger that the ico market bears the company.  For participants of Bounty companies fraudulent projects do not pay for their work, and investors can not return their funds that are spent on investment.  Scammers steal everything.  Based on this, only STO and IEO inspire certain hope and confidence in future prospects.

To tell the truth, I believe that much depends on the particular project. But as for me, I really love advanced IEOs coming out these days with valuable solutions. As for an example, on 14-th of June there is the Auditchain IEO. Anyone heard of the project? Widely discussed these days :)

Evening there. This is an interesting question. As from my side, I also evaluate many parameters before investing. Mostly having a look at the idea, the team, the product and the progress. Auditchain sounds pretty familiar. But can you please provide more details on what they are offering? Curious to know more

Well, Auditchain is the world's first Decentralized Continuous Audit & Reporting Protocol Ecosystem for financial and operating disclosure assurance for enterprises, non profits and governments. Auditchain seeks to provide a single platform solution for the assembly, deployment and external validation of the state of internal system and control environments as well as the external validation of operational and financial statement reporting. And they have many partners, for example, partnered with BANKEX. I recommend you to check out more on their website. And IEO is 14-th of June ;)

If you asking the best of course STO is the first.
STO is Secure Token Offering that is mean this token is really secure for investor, but to lauch STO is need big money and high level condition to uprove it.
That's why STO is hard to lauch but good to invest.

Apart from this the main handicap at the moment for security tokens is the lack of liquidity. There are only a bunch of countries where an STO can be launched, very few regulated exchanges for STOs, even less security-law compliant blockchains and hardly any users familiar with these and registered in the aforementioned exchanges. Of course this will change with time but at the moment this is lagging the market.

And in general how good an investment is doesn't depend so much on whether the company is launching an ICO, STO or IEO, but the strength of the idea, the team behind it and the tokenomics (this last part is way too often disregarded and it plays a key role).

No, they are not the same, but all are token sale. IEO which stands for Initial Exchange Offering when done on a reputable exchange gives investors guarantee of listing and legitimacy of team. ICO gives no guarantee, most times scam. STO is always legit, since it entails company selling equity shares via security token offering.

How come all of them be called the same models if they are upgraded forms of each other? I do not think they are all same and this is because a flaw in ICO was covered by STO which had been more compliant to regulations. IEO have been yet more successful for their exchange deal with the fundraising and not the project team which focus on the project improvement.

ICO ,STO and IEO are all good ways to gather funds for a project ,what matters is how good the project is ,and the teams how serious are they ,there are few steps that always leads to better result when raising funds

STO and IEO will be better and STO is more secured. That gives at least some guarantee that you will not be scamed.

I prefer IEO over others because it tackles scammers off and ICO and STO can't do that ,thanks to popular exchanges though ,I think  they are more careful which project to promote

IEO is best but ICO is also best if legitness of team is proved. IEO is hosted on exchanges where tokensale owners has to pay fees (in some cases fees are too much high). And ICO are completed without any extra charge for ICO team.

STO is still a method of selling tokens from the team, so it is still risky for investors. The only current IEO is that investors make sure they are not cheated, but still have the potential to lose money if they invest in IEO at small exchange.

They are all crowdfunding platform, ICO was the first to come but with so many fail ICO, STO and IEO are launches, which offers a good and safe place to invest, of the three IEO and STO are going to stay and ICO will soon vanish, because of so many scammers launching in ICO.

I think it depends completely in the project planning and goals.

• ICO is the base and best option for those who do not intend to get their coin/token listed right away; for example, if some project runs a plan such as the EOS ICO, that was one year long and dynamic price.
• IEO offers a more comfortable option if the project looks to list right away and does not want to engage in KYC protocols, since the exchange will be doing such task.
• STO is only in the case of security token base projects, and it differs from the other two.

In my opinion, non is better than the other, they just serve different purposes.

Many of ico just change on their minds and taking up for giving for their tokens sale to offer other exchanges and making an ieo. Lot of bounties making ieo so its a good decission.

Well it really seems that people are switching over to IEO didnt it? I mean it is obvious when someone given the option to choose safer way of investing while not givung away anything in compensation that easily a win for the investors.

That is because they realize that ICO is not viable anymore, there is only a few percentage of success for ICO now.

Even if they are adopting the IEO, they still need the bounty hunters to promote the project.
Good project like harmony had bounty even if it was in the Binance Launchpad and it's a guaranteed success if you are in Binance.

Due to process and to their objective is the same. The only advantage of IEO is that they are the one reviewing the project and investors are relief this way since they aren't gonna be scared to invest in random platform cause exchange will be the one at fault if they introduced a scam project. But Id still hope STO and ICO will work out more into ots goodness since it was started like we used to.  Maybe time will tell again when will be thr trust to the ICOs will return for many investors. But for me, cryptomarket was really huge for all investors to have a good investment because there's a lot of projects in here like the dencoin that can give them also a good future investments like we always wanted.

I personally like the IEO rather than the ICO for now, because the IEO is more convenient and safer to invest, especially the IEO at the large Binance market, because so far the IEO at Binance has always been good and has never disappointed.

For now, I think IEO is the best, because almost all IEOs have benefited crypto investors, maybe later there will only be IEO and STO because their quality is better than ICO

To date, the most successful attraction of funds is of course the exchange placement of IEO coins,  but do not forget about the ICO is also a very successful tool for raising funds!

IEO's wouldn't have been successful if they weren't better, so far most fund raisings have been made through IEO's than ICO's recently, this is because they provide a certain level of security and confidence among investors and thereby making it possible for investors to have some trust in investing with them. At least the funds are protected through escrow exchanges and no longer directly into the developers account.

I think they are same, but IEO is more safe than common ICO or STO.
In IEO that launched by top exchanges, im sure it has passed many requirements before it listed.

In principle, the end result is the same everywhere.But let's say, I have never participated in STO.Also, at the moment I do not even know where to trade this type of tokens.Perhaps because of this, few people invest in STO.

In my humble opinion, the best way to invest is in STO because STO is much safer than ICO since they comply with securities laws and they are also backed underlying asset, while IEO main advantages are trusted but full of hype so that they can push their native token.
In long term investment still, STO is the best but if you need an instant profit then go for IEO.

ICO is a thing that you don't have to think about, its history can make you decide immediately. LOL.

We have own opinions about this topic but for me it depends in the quality of the project and its products,so i will not lloking if what fundraising they do as strategies in making funds but the matter is how good the project is to attract investors and to make sure that they will have the profits in the investments they invest.

Depends what you mean better ? Better in ROI ? I preffer IEO , but never participated in any currently , depends where project do IEO on Binance or other exchanges . If they do on binance then most of them got pretty good ROI from IEO price currently . Other projects that did IEO on smaller exchanges lost value by half already :)

All has it's flaws, ICO is full of scam and fake projects. Many has lost money on ICOs and STO is nothing different from it. IEO is much better but has it's bad side as some exchanges IEOs fail and some that claims to be real, are not

actually I don't want to compare which is the most appropriate between ICO, STO and IEO. because everything has the same goal but in a different way. so we as ordinary people can only follow what we think is appropriate and leave if we feel any doubt.

The IEO is a trend of calling for projects' capital. IEO is always an advantage to help the project attract investors and substantial investment through exchanges. I realize that the IEO implementation projects have a high success rate, and most investors are profitable.

well, the IEO immediately trades on an exchanger. of course in this case, people will choose this. however it depends on the project, but now, the IEO takes precedence, because it can be said that among the three systems, IEO has a small risk.

I think many investors will be smarter while choosing right decision for now. Each way (ICO, IEO, and STO) have an pros and cons each other. But from now IEO was choosed because this way is more interested by many people from than ICO.

Yeah I agree, STO is less risky than ICO or IEO, but IEO is most hyped by crypto citizen right now and IEO is one of the fastest ways for the project to raising the funds to run their project and investor can gain their profit faster too...

Yes they are same just collecting money on different systems. I can't see much success on IEO also. After listed exchange for trading IEO coins dumped hardly. So most of investor's in lose even they hold it. I can't see much project about STO, not sure if I am missing something. But likely all are same.

I can see many people around us say IEO is the better option among this but fact if you power to handle the investment. That will be not the better suggestion and it may clear the scam issues but complete power may be exchange side. No one can work independently then.

This crypto space is here to give space for everyone and allow us to stay anonymous. We should not give such power to exchange, so I always love the ICO investment.

Initial exchange offering i.e. IEO is an another way to raise funds. Why I said another way? Because we know that ICO has been banned by many countries. So total funds to be raised, projects can not achieve their goals.
Initial Exchange Offering, means a project gets listed on an exchange directly without going through an ICO. We see more of these types of token issuing in countries where ICOs are restricted. Also now a days we are seeing projects coming up with new model called security token offering i.e. STO and seems it's becoming more popular now a days.
To mention here, I came across a project called VELIC, and it has another new fund raising model which is IAO i.e. initial auctions offering. Isnt it interesting?
Regarding which is better from ICO and IEO, from my point of view, IEOs are far better than ICOs. There are many things. First, with IEO, investors are sure about the exchange the coin is listing because this is the first step to start the IEO. With ICOs, even though it's completed, most of the projects lists coin after a certain period, which few investors are not happy with.
With ICO, there is lack of transparency. It is the team who updates the fund raised bar on there website. It is very difficult to know the exact amount of funds raised.
With IEO, responsibility is also with exchanges launching that IEO to build the confidence in existing and new users.

As per info on the internet I heard STO are better because they are more secured than the rest but the most trending one is IEO ,its better version of ICO and it works and we still have good ICO projects as well ,its all in the investors hand ,choose wisely

i agree STO have lower risk than ICO or IEO because before they start the offering they already have platform or company that have purpose that only want to expand their business

but the benefits that can be obtained if you invest in STO will not be as high as the profits that you will get at ICO because ICO is a new project with cheap coin prices and potentially up to 100x if the project goes well.

in contrast to projects that only spread their wings surely the increase would not be so significant.
so you have to choose between big risks but big profits or small risks with small profits

as for now IEO looks the most successful way of raising money. ICOs have a lack of trust and STO is a rare event with only few examples.

In my own opinion, I prefer IEO because of the exchange involved in it. There is no more issue about years of delay before listing on exchanges . Initial exchange offering makes things easy because projects get listed on exchange immediately after the IEO on their launchpad.

In my own opinion I think they are all the same thing (that is fundraising campaign). The best amongst depends on the quality of the project that is using it and not merely because of the name. I have seen projects that did IEO, fail and same goes for ICOs and STO too, so the quality of the project they are offering matters a lot too.

To begin with, all offers or instead have same motive and that is to create a medium where the team can raise funds to start development. But they have their similarities, ICO tends to be a better and easy way to generate funds but was plagued with scams, STO makes investors to have a share in the project they are investing while IEO is a better form of ICO but more secure in terms of investors funds. Out of the three, in my own opinion IEO is better.

You should explore about STOs because these offerings are far better especially the newly launched CTOs are better than all of the offerings. CTOs are better than both IEOs and ICOs no doubt because the Consumer Token Offerings have more benefits than those of the Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs), Security Token Offerings (STOs) and definitely the unsecure Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs).

Previously many ICO companies failed to list in the exchanges but now with the IEO once after completion of their IEO exchange are listing the coin for trading. Previously ICO's will take many months for listing the coin in the exchanges.

There is no ICO that will willingly submit itself to regulation except it is being imposed on them, that is why we need a system very similar to that of STO, where and STO project to be registered has no choice than to be under regulation.

All these ICO you see, not all of them are sure of the success of their projects like they lie to us in their whitepaper, the fear of failure sometimes makes them eventually decide to scam, that is why those who fell they have nothing to hide and are very sure of the success of their product are beginning to all get on board of IEO platform now, and the best to get a reliable project is simply on IEO.

Well, I still prefer IEO. The sole reason being that there's guarantee of listing a project in the exchange after the IEO. I haven't seen or heard any testimony on any STO and ICO now is mostly scam.

ICO has become very dangerous to invest in these days due to the fact of numerous scam recorded for different projects. I do go with IEO but one conducted by a reputable exchange.

IEO better than ICO or STO,more eficient and safe because we can holding our token and get listed more faster. But we need more quickly internet connection and follow rules. Example we can look at how binance held their launchpad. They have own rules but their IEO always success and the price rising so high.

For me it is better to have the round 1 or phase 1 finish in the second round is the same price and I can say that it is better than ico because there are many losers in ico because the price will not come after this is the exchanger in every phase or round because ico is rising or costing the price so ieo is better for me.

The meaning is the same, but when the project sells tokens through the exchange, it inspires confidence in the project. Unlike ICO after selling tokens through IEO, the token has a good value. It is more profitable for investors.

IEOs, ICOs and STO are all about the same thing and all has just one single aim too, which is to raise funds to proceed with start up project, All these three terms just mean they are done in different ways. IEOs are done on an exchange, ICOs are done by the projects itself, while STOs are done with regulated bodies.

I think they are all means by which upcoming projects use to generate funds to launch their project. But IEO is the order of the day now because its success rate is quite higher than the others so I would go for that

As for me, at the moment the most profitable activity among STO, ICO and IEO is IEO, because it is difficult to participate there and the profit is big

At the moment  I say : IEO for the WIN.

The first stage of the project should be and IEo because exchanges which are doing the IEO are doing extra research on the project because no exchange want to be associated with scam project.

ICO is one of the traditional forms of capital mobilization of previous projects. IEO is a new form of new capital through exchanges aimed at creating safety and limiting investors' risks. So let's choose the IEO as the best investment.

ICO is a big no no to me now. Investing in IEO is going in the way of ICO. I can only invest in IEO now and that's for IEOs condcte din good and reputable exchanges. Some exchanges are just not worth conducting an IEO.

The question should be which is safer, I like safer than better ICO's should not be included in the list, millions of dollars have been lost from ICO and because of that IEO and STO was created as a good crowdfunding platform, it offers a safer environment for investors to invest, it's just a matter of time before we hear the last of ICO.

All these projects above was good but if you care about security and regulation for your investment I guess STO is the right place to be. But nowadays, IEO has its popular method to raise funds because in near future, token will be tradeable and liquid on the exchange which running that IEO. But theres another project that might investors wanna get interested with and this is the Dencoin because it is also good to be part of their team because their platforms were really good.

Hat is the issue, I have seen some project claiming to be STO while they are not and the only STO project that I think we have now and confirmed is that of bit bond, I don’t know how completely genuine the rest I have been seeing are, but that is not even my priority when it comes to choice of mean of investing.

I think my major priority now should be IEO, he fact that IEO has not direct influence of government and yet still regulated successfully internally should really be applauded, and I think for now, when it comes to IEO with Binance, it is still very safe and coupled with the fact that you get you investment increase as quick as possible.

IEO is better than both ICO and STO. When you buying token from IEO, you can trading in no time after IEO period.
And the most advantage of IEO is, it is a legit project. Why ? because the exchange must be have requirements for IEO
before it get listed on their exchange.

Hey there guys. How often do you usually discover new solutions and how do you usually evaluate them? As for me, I really love the ones that are related to business sphere. For example, the solution I have found lately is Auditchain. In few words, Auditchain is the world's first Decentralized Continuous Audit & Reporting Protocol Ecosystem for financial and operating disclosure assurance for enterprises, non profits and governments. And they are having IEO soon - on 14th of June on ExMarkets and so far demand is pretty high

Good afternoon. Hmm, sounds like it should influence the industry, cause haven't heard of similar solutions so far, so sounds pretty unique. But are they collaborating with some other companies and solutions? Cause from my point of view, having great partners is important

Of course, partners are very important. And Auditchain is working hard in this direction too, as far as I understand. They are members of DCARPE alliance together with many other companies. For example, æternity will collaborate with Auditchain and other members to integrate its decentralized data oracles which will enable real time automated compliance with various financial instruments between counterparties. But I recommend you to check out more on their website, cause IEO is pretty soon :)

Agree with it, I don't know about STO because not find it yet. But IEO really bring something that very good for investor. Some IEO really success when listed in market and we know if investor already much like in past, crypto will be better.

Yes they are the same, that is a source or channel through which funds is raised for upcoming blockchain projects. Nevertheless they have their differences; ICOs are managed by the team thereby opening ways for unfriendly activities, STO tends to offer security tokens whereby any investor will have a share in the project while on the other hand, IEO are managed by exchanges thereby offering more security of investors funds, that is there might be little or no scam in IEOs.

As for me ICO is out of date, STO AND IEO is recommendable now  but personally i prefer IEO because it eradicate some certain problem . In the past, it took to long before ICO Tokens are listed after completing their sales but the situation is different now . Tokens can be listed where the IEO is conducted .This is really attracting lots people to buy IEO tokens in a very good exchange . An exchange like Binance sell their IEO easily because everyone believe in the Exchange .STO on the other hand is very good as well . Some good ones are fast selling just like the IEO . I like it because they are regulatory compliant .

I think STO  ( STO stands for security token offering ) because  it is  backed by a real-world asset such as a company or property.
It is much more difficult to launch an STO, as the intention is to offer an investment contract under securities law.
so i think it is better . just my opinion

Well you should get into what you like among the three. I think IEO has been doing very nice in the crypto market lately and I am a fan of this FRM but STO is also having great potential and has been a way of tokenizing the real world assets using blockchain so yeah, IEO and STO are the leaders against ICO. There is another things called CTO.

At the moment, in my opinion, the most interesting way of fund raising is IEO. They show fantastic results for the investors. Especially I like IEO at the Binance exchange. All projects of a prineskla huge profit to the investors at this exchange!

First of all IEO or ICO is not something that different. They both sell the same thing. A utlity token which has value in the ecosystem but brings no profit share. Even if project become success tokens may not become valuable because of the constant circulation. IEO is only different than ICO is that company not selling that tokens, they are using a guaranteer exchange for selling them.

On the other hand, STO means you are getting a token which is bringing a share of the profit. If the company has success it is certain that token will get value also you will get passive payment just to hold them. So of course, STO is better.

IEO is better, but sill its the upgraded version of ICO/STO.. the benefit of IEO is already in the exchanges and its tradable, unlike ICO you have to wait if they will list or not in the excahnge

If we only had safe and regulated ICO there would never come an IEO or STO compete with ICO, investors and legit projects will always find  ways to meet each other, and IEO is a better place to meet for both, STO is also ok because they are regulated, in the end it will be between STO and ICO.

This is the case now. an exchange that already has trust in traders or in the cryptocurrency community if they announce the sale of IEO or Launchpad it is likely that they will succeed in their sales.

Nowadays, most of the community so far if the they heard that project was under by IEO, according to them the project was in good hands and safe to the exchange. But for me, not all IEO or STO are good, it is not measure to say it is good, I don't think so. Because some of the exchange that are using IEO are not good anyway. Just like Latoken, I've seen a lot of coins there that has been listed to this platform, but now I could say its a dead coins now. This platform can show the fake volume of the coins. This is just my opinion and observation only.

In fact it is true that exchanges are popular like Binance, if you have announced the IEO or launchpad, of course the sales will be successful. That is the difference between IEO compared to STO and ICO. And we must remember, not all IEOs always succeed in making sales. It all depends on the exchange and the project itself.

All have same purpose to raise funds for propelling a project via token sale, but the era of ICO is over. IEO and STO now takes the stage, IEO being carried on on exchanges with surety to be listed and STO giving people opportunity to buy into equity shares. All have risk associated but ICO is more risky.

the most better is STO because have a extreamly security system to protect investor.
ICO for now is not safe again, and IEO is new trand in cryptocurrency replace ICO.
STO have a hard condition to get lauch we can called it like money, time and other.
if that selection is OK they can lauch the STO and STO is clear of scam project.

sales made in exchange may be successful because it also depends on the purchasing power of the exchange community. the greater the exchange, the more likely the sale will be successful. but it will not guarantee the project will run smoothly. keep doing your research. because actually IEO, STO, and ICO are actually the same, they are only a sales system that is carried out by the project to get development funds.

IEO is chosen by many people today because of the fast profits when listing on the market. this is a big advantage offered. if indeed we are interested in being able to get profits quickly

And what people still need from cryptocurrency now, get fast and big profit from IEO projects - they are so popular

In my understanding and experience I think IEO is better than its counterpart. ICOs are no longer getting the attention they used to have while STOs are yet to be fully adopted by investors.
Also, they are different in their own ways, IEOs are managed by exchanges while ICO and STO are managed by the team in charge, but in STO the investor have the opportunity in owing a share in the project.

IEO is popular nowadays, many people want big profits from buying IEOs on the stock, but that's not all profitable we have to choose which is better.

Yes IEOs are better of then ICOs and STO. The only requirement in IEO is to register with the proposed exchange, while the team verification is carried out by the exchange itself.
Investors will only need to study the project to really know if it will grow or solve the issues it being created for.
STOs on the other hand are Security Token Offering and of course will come with high KYC process, nevertheless they are not fully associated with like IEOs.

IEO or INITIAL EXCHANGE OFFERING all the way out for me.
This is much better than the rest! as there is a good exchange between the sales and can make more investors to come.
especially if the exchange to do the IEO is one of the best.

STOs will dominate the market in the future. We will be seeing large STOs, medium ones and a very small SMEs doing crowdfunding rounds.
Even local businesses may opt in to raise funds for small projects. This is bring a lot of users to the crypto world and possibly create a new adoption wave.

To begin with, STOs are yet to get the "hype" which will cause investors to channel their strength to it. ICO is no where to be found as investors no longer have the mind to associate with it. IEO keeps growing tremendously as investors are now fully involved. Also, owing to the level of security of investors funds, IEO to me is better.

Actually I don't care too much about the project right now, because I think I'm just a small investor. I will sell if it is profitable, so the IEO is one of the best ways to do it

At the moment IO allows people to earn very good money and be safe. IEO is a very promising system for promoting projects. But it won't be that long.

All goods but depends in the quality and how good the project is and that is the main thing that investors will look for towards the investments they will choose,but this project Dencoin tokens offers ico but i know this project is good enough to  bring us good benefits and rewards.

i am not a gree with that, the best of all of it is STO.
i know IEO is trendy now and became popular for now, but IEO still have a fail and scam IEO you can look IEO in bittrex.
STO is have a security sytem so good and have a hard selection to lauch it.
thats why STO is real and no scam on it.

I agree with you but this principle is guided only by Amateurs. In fact, everything remains as before, the project releases tokens to the exchange and it will grow in price only if there are reasons for this, and not because the project chose IEO.

Good afternoon everyone! And do you have many projects you follow these days? How do you usually find them? As for me, I believe that having a real practical use is a must have component, so I always evaluate how project may be used in real life. By the way, do you have any IEOs you are participating these days? Can you recommend any?

I share your views. Well, there are advanced solutions today. The one I am following these days is Hiway. I believe you must have heard of them if you are deeply into crypto. The Hiway platform is a blockchain tailored marketplace for work. It builds on a few of the most innovative and progressive technologies emerging from the Fourth Industrial Revolution: big data, blockchain and artificial intelligence. But I recommend you to check out more about what they are bringing on their website :)

Personally, I would prefer to invest in ICO or IEO projects because I have never participated in STO projects. 

We know IEO is more reliable because it is running on the exchange platform.
But better or not, i think it is back to the project, team, and the development of the project itself.
At least we can avoid scammy project that usually gone after raising funds.

This is the era of IEO's, I think it is the best thing that have happened to the crypto space and will make sure that at least only serious projects will make an attempt at launching via IEO, ICO's were used to scam a lot of persons being that they collect their funds directly but currently it will no longer be business as usual for them

agree with this. however, the best system now is the IEO, and there is a lot of evidence about that. in addition, projects that have good management will also support the development of the IEO itself. well, we might need to pay attention to this in a moment.

In the other side IEO which good because it will run through the exchange platform specially the exchange is very popular and having high reputation from many investors it is good for the project to gain more funds and it would be successful.

In essence, I think that both the IEO and the ICO or STO are similar. But the IEO is much better because the IEO will be traded on exchanges, ICO and STO are hard to do. And I also think that the heyday of ICO has passed, it is very difficult to find a successful ICO at this time.

In my opinion, STO and IEO are similar in nature to ICO, but IEO is much better than ICO. Because after the IEO sales will be listed on the exchange, ICO can hardly do this. There are quite a lot of ICO coins in my wallet, but many of them are not listed on any exchange.

I totally agree. Based on the reputation and ability to pump prices of large exchanges, and sell tokens in a limited amount, it will be a great way to attract new players to enter the market, and to bring Many new users for exchanges.

To list the tokens on exchanges are nowadays not a easy job and we people are just looking on the investors and participants aspects but this will not be useful for the future of any form of usage with that tokens.
Such ICO getting listed on exchanges are not worthy for the investment after next day it has been listed.

What I think is the same as what you say here. That IEO, ICO and STO are all the same and it's true that the IEO is now better. But the ICO has indeed passed its time but for now there is still a good ICO, Bcnex. Their ICO is going well now. Of course there are still many good ICO that can be found out there.

Well, we cant really conclude or do take it generally that ICO is already dead.There are still some various projects which
can potentially succeed in ICO but now we are currently seeing on what the trend which is on IEO.Investors do much prefer
this one.Why? because it is already traded on exchangers once its being launched.

As for me, I mainly pay attention to the project itself: idea, team, Whitepaper, partners. The way they are raising funds is not as important as the possibility of the future development.

In my opinion, for the time being, it is best to take part only in the IEO of large stock exchanges, everything else may somehow be scam or have strict requirements due to local jurisdiction.

All three have the same goals but with different fundraising systems or methods. IEO is a more effective and safer way, but there is no harm in joining ICO and STO as long as the project is really good.

In my opinion this three has many differences but still one goal to have a successful marketing and to have a fund to raise their platform, ICO is the old marketing the Initial Coin Offering where they can invest on the dashboard or by just having a selfdrop, STO is Security Token Offering if I'm not mistaken there is a lot of legalities that is needed because it was terms of security they need to comply on SEC and last the most favorable one is the IEO or the Initial Exchange Offering this is the most popular for this year it as easily listed on the exchange after the IEO.

From that three alternative, i think STO is safest investment. Its like we buying stocks or bond in market but in token or coin form. But IEO or ICO are good instrument because its depend on the project progress. Its our choice to choose that alternative

yes it is a positive point that the project will be listed in the IEO conducting the IEO , but what if you get project get scam by the exchange after conducting the IEO by holding the funds raised that sold out and start playing game with the projects.

Agree with you. I hate project unpromissing about exchange. IEO is the best for investor because investor has value for their investment. And IEO is good for me

I am also very interested in the recent BCNEX project because they have a great advertising strategy and they have spent over $2 million to Airdrop for everyone. I think this exchange will be very strong in the near future and I will consider investing if this project gets investors' trust. In my opinion, this is a promising exchange because the potential of BCNEX is huge and if they can sell all tokens in the process of attracting capital, BCNEX value will increase very high on the official launch date.

between iso and ico it is the same just as a binding contract of work. but they have differences in people who control smart contracts where iso is controlled by the exchange and ico is controlled directly by the developer so that it can allow ico to get funds directly from crypto

I prefer IEO over the rest because that's what big investors are choosing ,very good IEO projects can complete there fund raising in minutes and I haven't seen ICO or STO doing same thing ,the idea of using exchanges makes it work and faster

Recent time, IEO is more popular because it is supported by famous exchanges such as Binance, Houbi, Kucoin or Bittrex. So, investors will feel more excited and can liquid in a short time

For investing i choose ICO because presale always have a huge bonuses until 40%.
But for safety investment IEO and STO can be the first choice to choose.

This is can be one of the investment strategy to get the bonus, not every one chose, but you need to study the project and make sure it is a legitimate project.

what is STO? I just heard this term, can anyone tell me about this system? and which projects have used the STO system?

Obviously, IEO is far better than others. STO got a huge hype at the beginning of this year, they said this year will be the STO year, but STO market failed miserably. Only IEO is ruling now, and a very few ICO projects are doing well! That's it. I haven't seen any successful STO projects in the last 4 months!

I was surprised when sr.member said that I had never heard of STO :o maybe you should read this https://cryptonews.com/guides/what-is-a-security-token-offering-sto.htm and now there are so many projects that do STO, one of them now that looks quite interesting is bitbond

They have same use case; that is, they are a channel or medium through which the team source for funding, but they also have similarities.
IEO takes place at exchanges that is to say, there will be little or no scam.
STO are security token which are carefully arranged by the team.
ICO is the most widely used last year and also managed by the team.
Out of the three, I think IEO is better because the team are verified thus reducing the chances of fraudulent activities.

I think the IEO because of the profits being folded is guaranteed to be significantly more difficult for scammers to cheat contributors who know that they can only buy tokens from the stock.

Binance IEO is very profitable and this has been proven by several IEOs that are held by binance. But it is very difficult to participate in Binance's IEO because the participants are very large and only last a few seconds

I think it depends on the exchanger. If you join the IEO on binance it must be profitable because Binance IEO always give profits after listing on the market. But if the IEO is a small exchanger, I don't think it's can give good profit

There is a few differences between ICO, IEO or STO. The IEO is almost the same as the ICO but the sales and marketing are arranged by the exchanger, but I think investors will be more comfortable with the IEO because the project must have been research by the exchanger. STO is basically safer because it is backed up by company assets and regulated by the regulator

for me it's just a system difference. but ICO is superior because of the emergence of ICO, others like IEO and STO follow suit. ICO is still at the forefront.

IEO offers a lot of benefits to investors and, if lucky, you can earn triple profit after just a few days of waiting. It is possible to see that more and more IEO projects are appearing but should only choose good exchanges to participate because the greater the exchange, the higher the chances of earning profits. I personally trust Binance because this is the first exchange to help me earn huge amounts of money from the IEO

yes actually they do have the same goals but only different systems or the way they promote their projects. ICO has been there for a long time, while STO and IEO can say that it has recently emerged in this industry but the fact is that the current IEO has attracted much public attention.

 is most safe than STO & ICO.And ofcourse my first choice  for investment In IEO.I think recently Binance IEO’s very popular and profitable. And yes i think it’s worth to invest.

Definitely ieo the best that is now taking place in the market , I think most will agree , if the exchange is good and it is ieo you can earn very good money!

I don't know any STO, I've participated in some ICOs and IEOs and to my mind IEO is the best way and safer way to invest your money. I recommend everyone to use exactly IEO

IEO has proven to be the most profitable base price comparing to private sale prices ive seen recently, which is why i hope to be lucky enough when Tokoin.io announce their upcoming IEO to get in. This hidden gem project is not one to miss, they will take the MSME market by storm which in itself is humongous.

in my opinion ICO, STO or IEO are all the same and the only difference is the system, but the most important thing is the project we want to invest and not the system we invest in, because if the project is good then I'm sure even though the project uses ICO as a system for investors to invest in the project, then I'm sure the project will still be successfull, so the most important is the project we want to invest and not from the project investment system (ICO, STO or IEO).

I think many investors are starting to experience a crisis of confidence in ICO, so I hope IEO is a new breakthrough that is able to restore investor confidence, but this must be supported by strict rules

STO is the better because it safest and impossible scam.
ICO is full of scam and IEO is trandy now but just really good in high Exchange like Binance.
So thats why STO is the better once.

It is correct that all are the same but only difference in IEO is that the coins come through this root will be listed immediately but in ICO, there is no time limit of listing.

All of the three are same in its purpose, only different in ensuring safety of investment. Considering that, I would either go with IEO or STO. ICO has already died because of increasing number of scam projects.

I think ICO is better than STO and IEO because more investors in ICOs are more likely to spend on it so people prefer it because they are sure to earn a great deal when they invest there.

From the system is very different and there are shortcomings and advantages. The ICO has been running very long and is able to generate many advantages. But throughout the years 2018 have suffered a decline and many projects failed. But now this STO or IEO also gives new hope to the investors and bounty hunters. Currently, I also follow STO but have not given good results.

For bounty hunters probably the best is ICO because often in such projects are carried out bounty campaigns. For investors, IEO has become very popular now. because of the fastest listing of tokens and trading on the exchange.

They are all great, but unfortunately, due to the market conditions and hopes of investors, the main fundraising method of 2019 are going to be IEOs because they are providing a guarantee of direct exchange listing afterwards.

The main thing is that all these fraudulent ICO are a thing of the past. And now at least the exchange bears some personal responsibility for conducting an IEO on its platform. At least the exchange risks its honest name.

Personally, I prefer IEO because they apply strict rules and some requirements and selection that must be passed, but it doesn't show the seriousness of a project that will follow IEO

IEO is more popular lately. I think, dynamic of the crypto market changing in time and we have to catch up to make some profit. These days IEO offers the opportunity to earn some money and that’s the reason why people started to prefer it. Especially when we think about Binance, IEO seems safer and more reliable.

IEO is same like ICO, the different is ICO is lauched and handle by own project and IEO is handle by exchange.
Exchange who lauch this IEO is of course making a research first before start lauch that IEO.
so we can assume if IEO is more safe than ICO.

So far, most users preferred IEO owed to many reasons. The coin can be traded immediately after IEO, even if the project is new and just starting, the assurance of trading the coin is very plausible. If the IEO is under a reputable exchange, it is expected that the credibility of the project is relatively better. Because an exchange will not take the risk of ruining their reputation.

Many IEOs are hunted by investors because the guarantee will be listed after the IEO is finished, but we must know that the IEO always has risks but in my opinion the IEO will be better than the ICO which is now being abandoned.

ICO, STO, and IEO have one goal, namely to collect funds from investors. But now IEO is a system that has been chosen by many new projects to introduce their coins.

STO is still the best options for investors because it is backed by a real asset, which users can be sure about that will ensure the projects stability, and it is also regulated by some authorities, there is less chance of STOs being scam unlike ICOs.

ICO's is no longer attractive to most investors it's been switched to IEO's due to the quickness of being added to exchange, but yes there's still risk to take because even the project already been listed there's no assurance that it will bring a huge pumped after, if you are aiming to get good rewards after participating to an IEO binance will be the good place to invest your money, not that easy but rewards will be at the most.

IEO is the same like ICO. You can't divide it into the different conclusion but IEO only gets supported by exchange site. But in this case STO is the worst thing for crypto investors. Scammer will follow anything that will become a trend in the crypto.

For me IEO is better tan ICO or STO. This year is the year for IEO, we can see many IEO get a huge succes. I am prefer to invest in IEO because is simple than ICO and profitable for me.

Their is not much difference among the three, its all about fund raising but in different ways ,I just kind of prefer IEO more than the rest because of the quick sell out and hardcaps are reached easily unlike ICO fund raising that can take months to reach hardcap

Of course, in such a market I choose to invest in IEO, because in most cases it pays off several times, which is not the case with ICO and STO

IEO = INITIAL EXCHANGE OFFERING....
WHY? the team needs to pay the exchange where they want to sell their TOKENS/COIN.
Meaning they need some cash to out before having an amount from investors, ICO is not and there are so many scam happened before.

Conducting IEO is much safer than ICO, there is a lot of fraud in the ICO market, therefore, IEO is much safer

My sales strategy prefers the IEO, the reason is that the IEO is easier for me to rotate the investment because it shortens the duration through the IEO, the IEO duration is usually around 2 weeks, directly listing in the market, but if ico will take a long time (the duration I see is 4  month) From here I chose IEO more safely and quickly listing in the market.

IEO is more better,  because there is a high Possibilty of reaching the hardcap most especially if the IEO is being conducted in a reputable exchange,  and IEO projects list faster than ico 

I would vote for the STO. After all, with this method of raising funds, I can certainly expect to receive dividends. I will also know that the project has sufficient resources to promote the product (as financial security is one of the requirements for the STO).

at this point to be honest I really can't tell anymore.  Seeing the scam activities that goes with some exchange IEOs makes me confused.  Look at IDAx, you will then know that this is difficult to analyze.

but IEO is better for projects. projects that need to spend money on fomo exchanges and promote tokens, then they will also be listed on that exchange itself.
That's great because the project doesn't have to pay too much for marketing costs and there's a platform to sell tokens quickly.
ICO and STO really have to go through many stages and take a lot of effort. Therefore, I always choose to invest in the IEO.

I think the best IEO model in the above models. Because the IEO ensures that the project is listed on the exchanges. Many ICO projects keep promising and not listed on the exchanges. Many investors are very depressed with the ICO model. Currently the IEO on the Binance and Huobi exchanges has brought in huge profits, which contributes to attracting more new investors. This is one of the reasons for the market uptrend in recent years.

For me, all three (ICO, STO, IEO)  still boil down to token sale, but many people have lost interest in ICO in particular because of many scam cases.  IEO and STO are better off for security reasons. For IEO on reputable exchanges, investors are sure of listing and also the fact that the project is legit.  STO gives equity shares to token holders, so it's top notch.  But mind you that there are still scam IEOs and STOs out there, so do proper research always.

I will choose the IEO this token are back up by the good and high volume of exchanges, many of our investors are being confident to invest on IEO project, the IEO project they can easily raise big funds because the people trusting and they know it would be successful.

I am quite sure that the ICO format is best for attracting investments in a new project. First, it is a transparent system where you can track all transactions - no cheating! Secondly, I personally do not believe in IEO - I didn’t get into any project as I didn’t try, except for the chances of getting into the lottery from binance! I believe that many exchanges are deceiving us, buying tokens themselves, and we cannot check them.

Honestly, these 3 really give opportunity to anyone here in the forum. But as of the moment, the trending so far was IEO and the thinking of most community in the forum right now about it is that IEO was more trusted than ICO and STO, but in the end all of them are just the same only where all of them can use by the scammer to have a victim here, and not all exchange are good too, in short not all IEO are good in terms of exchange platform.

what I know about ICO and IEO is that they sell a coin or token but that is the ICO divider selling coins or tokens but it is unclear they will roar coins or tokens in which markets and investors' money is held for a long time, while the IEO when the market is directly held  The IEO and of course the investor's money was not held for too long while for the STO I didn't understand

Yes, you are right many people are showing interest towards the IEO, compared to ICO and STO. Once after completion of their IEO, the coin automatically started trading in the exchanges, whereas previously many ICO companies failed to list the coin in exchange after the crowd sales.

they did not fail but indeed those who did not register to the exchange project were very bad to follow. because to register with IEO in a large exchange also has strict conditions. not all projects will be able to fulfill it. sometimes teams that are not very competent must choose new exchanges that may have easier conditions.

Tomorrow is to start dialing the right to buy an IEO on Binance, I find that it can make many people x8 the money they buy token as soon as it is listed. However, in this IEO, the price of BNB begins to show signs of decline

I think STO security tokens are better. The crypto prospectus and financials of STOs are more rigorously reviewed by financial authorities. That gives investors more confidence that the project and company are fiscally sound. Look at Germany's first STO called Bitbond.  A crypto bond backed by real ssets and approved by German regulators.  There are many shady ICOs but the approved STOs are all much better choices. Bitbond provides  a quarterly coupon (dividend) for the 10 year cryptobond duration.

All the three ways of fund raising in crypto space arent bad ,its just that one is better than the other but that is the least to worry about,what's more important is what the new project is all about ,if its good enough investors won't bother with the project way of raising fund

Coins offer new ICO and IEO both aim to collect funds from investors, but ICO is better for getting large community members, more IEO investors because coins are registered in crypto exchanges, but we have to look at projects by doing research before make an investment

I have long decided that the best way to invest is to buy on the exchange. There is always the opportunity to see liquidity and dynamics. Maybe I’m missing something, but there’s no such feeling. There are so many assets on the market that you can choose, and there is simply not enough money. ;D

from the proposed choice I did not come across the 2nd one.
And from ICO/IEO  I can say that this ICO is fair enough! Because IEO sales occur on centralized exchanges, And there is no way to check whether Tokens are honestly sold, while selling by blockchain allows you to track everything qualitatively

ICO , STO and IEO is same system for crowdfunding or sale their crypto products and we pay it using crypto or with USD/EUR.
ICO is not safe anymore because as we can see 1 or 2 years ago as ICO is popular at that time , so much ICO which is scam ICO , ICO team not verified & almost of them are didn't reach their soft cap and then they close their crypto projects.
STO is good for me because they need something process to legal their sale on their country.. but for safety , maybe you must research first which good for you and your funds investment.
IEO is most recommended right now because there are many successfully IEO on this years , for example BitTorrent. No any doubt for joining IEO , this is safety system to participate on crypto projects sale.

maybe you're right, unfortunately at this time so many irresponsible parties are using ICO to gain their own benefit. therefore, there is an IEO system, which requires the tokens they make to be traded in a market. it also shows that the project is serious or not.

sto is the net of profit sharingm, Of course the purpose of all is to mobilize investment capital. But now, I think that ieo is better than all, because it is linked to the exchanges

this discussion has been very much, I think there are many opinions from many members in this forum. and the latest now like the IEO does not guarantee anything. this is what many investors must know.
so in my opinion, learn first before investing or buying tokens. because anything is always risky

IEO is the newer version and an improvement on ICO and STO, so it is better as it protects the interest of investors more than ICO and STO. At least one is has some level of assurance of a project listing on exchange after sales unlike ICO that most do not eventually list or pass ass outright scam. In IEO it is no longer the individual that is involved in the research but the exchanges themselves and any exchange that values its reputation will try to list projects that have passed through the rudimentary veracity test.

What only matters is PR and popularity. Platform is just a choice and both three were pretty much established in terms of usability and accessibility. Project have little project to expose themselves on target investors - ads, trader platform are effective but determining short term success or not to trip on the start is liquidity and security, much of the projects lacking these days

In my personal opinion, much depends on the particular project and its idea. Cause basically there are many solutions on the market these days, however only some of them are having truly valuable ideas. Thus, every single solution must be evaluated

This is very true. And to my mind, we should also examine the progress, the product team is building, the technological part and innovations. So pretty many parameters. And I also usually having a look at the roadmap. How does it work for you?

Very similarly. And this is what helps to get more about how advanced the project is. By the way, are there any advanced solutions you are following these days?

Not many. The most advanced project I do follow is pukkamex - have you heard of them? The guys are very widely discussed these days ;)  And they are having very high marks on leading rating platforms and many experts' reviews

Pukkamex? Hmm, sounds very familiar. But can you please elaborate in more details on what they are bringing?

Sure, of course I can.. Pukkamex is the world’s first leveraged cryptocurrency derivative trading platform that shares its revenue with its token holders. And what is extremely important - it is easy to use for the beginners and powerful enough for the most experienced trader. But of course, recommend you to check out more about them on their website. Or well, just Google pukkamex

IEO is the latest version for ICO and recently the latest version of STO that is STEO, STEO has the same concept as the IEO only for securities tokens. I don't know too many developments in fundraising recently, I hope it can make investors satisfied and return to glory like last 2017.

I think IEO is better because of the benefit one stands to gain after the trading period and ICO does not offer the same opportunity

STEO a program that is not different from the IEO only differs slightly from the name, I don't think it will make a project successful just because it changes the name of the IEO to STEO

Agree. STEO format seems to be a better solution than STO or IEO alone.

We have seen and known about ICOs and their series of shortcomings, nevertheless it had its time. On the other hand, STOs are Security Token Offering with high restrictions and high KYC process thus turning many people off. IEOs are managed by exchanges where security of users assets is taken into due consideration. From this three IEO is better as it has recorded a reasonable level of success since it's inception.

IEO seem to be the best option for fund raising now ,its pretty very active and faster too, and many devs are already leaving ICO behind for IEO but only few projects still use ICO this days and only few ICO projects raised funds successfully

If the project is not conceived as a scam or just collecting money then all these campaigns can make a profit. I think that the IEO is just less likely to fraud.

ICOs have still been good way to raise funds if they come from good projects. IEOs are just temporary hot trend, and will end soon. Because, there are difficult for investors to get good returns from their investments in IEOs of small exchanges. Over time, investors will stay away from IEOS of new created exchanges.

STO is quite a hogwash for me if the organisation is not listed on NYSE and the likes for example. This Is because, it will only be reasonable if only such a company offers STO not some start up by a few collage boys that can create an Erc20 token

Among all these investment tools, I think Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) is the safest and most profitable method. The reason for this idea is that there is a guarantee that these projects will be opened to service on the platform on which they are sold. Of course, other investment instruments may be more advantageous in some areas, but in any case of Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) projects it is possible to return to cash or parity currency again. For this reason, Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) is more valuable to me than other investment tools.

Honestly I don't care which one is better as long as I can make profit I'm okay. You can call me greedy but it's okay I'm greedy for profit and I don't really mind about that. It's all about profit and money.

for now, there may not be an IEO, or STO that has surpassed ICO's success in the past. well, that's because ICO is the first sales system in cryptocurrency. however, I think, the system has been replaced by the IEO, because of the many scam projects that use ICO. for now, I prefer IEO than others.

Due to scam and some other reasons, ICOs has lost it's value to a certain degree and that's why most investors prefer IEOs to ICOs. I don't know much about STO but at this moment, I think IEO is better.

It is necessary to participate where it is possible to make a profit, now it is possible to make more profit in IEO, there and it is necessary to invest

First and foremost, all are a channel through which projects generate funds to develop their platforms. ICOs failed as a result of too many scams. STOs are still trying to gain ground owing to their nature; that is, too many regulations. While IEOs are gaining attention with each passing day owing to the fact there is little or no scam as the team is duly verified.
From this brief explanation, I think IEO is better than its counterparts.

I think IEOs are better especially in big and established exchanges like Binance exchange, because they have a strict vetting process that ensures that only projects with a verified team and a working product ends up being listed in their IEO platform. We all know the harm that ICOs are done, all has their downsides but I think IEOs are generally better with the right exchanges.

almost all of us are of the same opinion that ieo is better than ico and sto, I also agree because the risk of scam will also be minimized through checks from the exchange, other than that for coin listing is also faster.

The answer to this is simply and straight forward. IEO is better than ICO or STO. IEO introduced a more realiable quality to crypto crowdfunding. With IEO, investors know the exact amount of the coin or token been distributed or purchased and also know the progress of the project in relation with the amount of the coin or tokens been sold at a particular moment in time. But With ICO, not all transaction info will be made available for investors and the general public to know. IEO represents true transparency rather than ICO or STO..

Personally,  I prefer IEO, but I never invest in a new project before asking some basic questions that every investor should ask:

- Does the white paper have a clear vision?
- Does it look like the team really invested a lot of time into putting together the white paper?
Is the quality of the language in the white paper exceptional?
- Are there references in the white paper where there should be i.e. where there are mentions of exact data?
- Is the white paper written using LaTeX?
- Is the content on the website without any mistakes?
- Is the quality of the language on the website exceptional?
- Is the design of the website flawless?
- Does the color palette of the website coincide with the nature of the project?
- Is it easy to find what you are looking for on the website?
- Is the logo of the project visually concise?
- Does the project have an MVP?
- Is there are live demo of the MVP?

For me, IEO is better because they come with a guaranteed exchange listing upon the completion of the IEO. And if some big exchange is hosting the IEO  the short-term profit can be huge sometimes.

many say IEO is better because their tokens are listed directly on the market so there is no need to wait.
but I think it's the same as ICO, even I first knew ICO.
they are just a different system.

I also think that IEO is better for security reasons, I prefer that the exchange supports the project, it is the best thing that can happen.

I agree, basically ICO and IEO there is no difference, the difference is the organizers. The current IEO is more interesting because it doesn't wait for long negotiations with exchangers for listings compared to ICOs who have to wait for the developer team to negotiate.

For me, all are the same. No difference is too big, the biggest difference is how to deploy it. Currently ICO is dead and the IEO is becoming bustling thanks to its profitability. But not everyone can get a profit because it is very difficult to successfully participate in the IEO because the participants are limited.

IEO is better for me, at least the chances of getting listed is already high. STO would have been better, but the legalities sorrounding it and the complexity of the project makes it difficult for investors to invest in. IEO seems better after all.

I agree with your thoughts on IEO and i do hope that scammers won't divert their attention on doing scams on IEO. Binance had launched pretty good projects on their exchange that somehow brought back some glory of cryptocurrency in the past. ICO for now is trash and STO is complicated for ordinary supporters of crypto.

they are all the same with different approach of doing it

If I ask what is best for the three I will go to ICOs because ICOs is trying to prove that I am actually a bigger now here because I'm certain that I will earn more here someday.

Scam? Scams are everywhere, but let us not pretend it was just because of bad people and scams,,, it was also the investors and the socalled communities, who were little more than pure bounty hunters who are only interested in making money as fast as possible without any regard for the actual investors and actual projects. Project owners and speculators, these were the people who brought down crypto.

Scammers are indeed everywhere but the reason why people chooses IEOs is because they believe the crypto exchange site which handle the IEO have did the require study about the legitimate of the new project but this does not guarantee an IEOs won't be scam or flop in the future. However, STO seems better cause it have to do contract and backing the project with  visible properties.

Speaking of people who brought down crypto, we all brought down crypto (and that including you) cause when was the last time do something to fix the current problem facing cryptocurrency.

after ICO experienced bad things or too many scamers, I considered the IEO to be better for us to invest in. The main reason was security, and it was proven after the success of several IEOs, especially when it happened in binary exchanges. so for now the IEO is better.

I think they have different advantages, for example ICO, they collect funding from investors before they make a sale on the market, IEO, they make funding from direct purchases in exchange, then they list in various exchanges for the public, STO, build a security token to having power in the market, I think STO tokens will dominate the market in 2020, if they really create tokens that have high security.

Yes, I think ICO, STO or IEO all method have same aim with different system. But I believe IEO is better then ICO . Many investors prefer IEO. Because IEO come with a guarantee exchange listing. Their tokens directly come on exchanger, there is no need wait. Also there is lower possibility to scam projects.

Thats a diffent methods with one goal - collect money. Always check project and try to find red flags. It will be better than just believe in one of these type

ICO is still the best way to raise funds in its time. now it may have started to be replaced by IEO or STO. but until now also has not seen the success of investment in new projects that are truly extraordinary as at the time of the ICO.

IEO is one of the best today from anywhere. because choosing IEO means supporting good innovation and it's very good for the continuity of a project so why should choose another.

Yeah same but only difference system. But at this moment IEO is more popular than ICO and STO. After lot of scam project people turn into IEO. Because there is low chance to fond in IEO. But yes it's possible to scam in IEO. Before you invest IEO must watch what is the project about, which exchange they choose to run their IEO, how much trust able exchange is that and many you can possible. Always remember scammer waiting to cheat your money everywhere. Triple check before invest your money.

IEO replaced ICO and STO. IEO is much safer and more profitable nowadays, that's why it's so popular today 

IEO is the best, STO is better and I have no comment for the ICO! Because ICO lost its reputation, faith, and investors! The crypto people are fed up with the most ICO projects, a very few ICO are doing well, otherwise, all are failed or dead! This year, the number of scam project has been decreased significantly. It is because people stop investing in ICO!

I do not care where or how I buy tokens.
But these tokens should have a real value, value that doesn´t depend on market situation.

INITIAL EXCHANGE OFFERING or IEO all the way for me.
In this view we have the back of the exchange which the IEO will take place.
The team of exchange will do the background check before launching it and the project team should pay the exchange first. this is way better of security from scam.

They are all the same. What makes fundraising unique is: Who are the progenitors? Who are the backers? An IEO is no use if it is held in an unknown shitty exchange, the same goes for an STO from an unknown team.

IEO is better than ICO and STO from a token purchase system. The IEO can buy direct tokens from exchange so that it can be relied on compared to ICO. ICO waits for distribution of tokens from the team.

They all have the same task, to sell their tokens/coins to public.
But it is better to do IEO now on a good exchange to get more investors.
The trust on ICO is gone due to many scam issue and STO followed.

Why isn't anyone mentioning SCO? https://cryptobriefing.com/nuls-successfully-trials-alternative-crowdfunding-method/

That are just different system or technical of marketing their new token. They have same quality to selling token in early of product launching. Thing that make them are different each other is about their product. Im not looking for the way they will sell token, but i always learn about their project first.

Well i see them the same and for that matter what is important is the real project and what they are into and the returns you could gain from. As for the form of token I don't really look out for since success is all about development of project.

All of them, has the same purpose/task with different system and the used of ICO, STO and IEO is to fund support to the project that needed on development. I think, IEO is better because it has already on exchanges.

I agree. IEO increases investor confidence in the project. Especially if the IEO works with global exchanges such as Binance, Kucoin, Okex, etc. The popularity of the IEO has a big impact on the success of the IEO, especially if it is supported by a good project concept, the wider market network, the price will easily rise as market demand increases. Investor confidence is very difficult to obtain after many failed token sales in this saturated market.

It is the advantage of IEO. However, don't think it is 100% safe and trusted enough. There are many exchanges that are careless with the quality of the new coins/tokens. They may be faster to list on that exchange, but then they probably delisted if they turn to have too cheap prices. So, be more selective to choose coins/tokens that can have potential future.

IEOs dont guarantee you the quality of the project, they just provide the much needed liquidity for the asset, but that asset could very well be a complete train-wreck. Its basically the same poop as the ICO concept with a bonus factor of liquidity, so investors should not abandon doing their due diligence. STOs are for now more or less an enigma for the crypto space, so I am interested to see how they will perform in the near future.

Usually every project will always be fast related to listing on the exchange after completing an IEO. As you said that I am not sure the quality of the project is good or not.

And the point is IEO, ICO or STO has advantages and disadvantages.

You better avoid everything because right now no one can be trusted. Many IEOs have been manipulated and are also detrimental due to the hype that has begun to decline due to not providing a large enough ROI,let alone ico which only contains a project scam and is also unclear

The IEO indeed gave a very good impression this year compared to ICO. whereas STO has not shown satisfactory results to date. for now, IEO and ICO are quite popular among new projects. several ICOs have had success this year, only IEO has shown greater results than the ICO this year.

because of this, many people prioritize IEO even more so when the sale enters the mentioned top market.

I believe that at the moment IEO is better than ICO and STO. The fact is that IEO conducts fees on crypto exchanges and after the sale, tokens will be traded on these exchanges. Of course, the price may be different, but still tokens will be traded. As for the ICO and STO, even if the fundraising is successful, this does not mean that tokens will go to exchanges at all.

for me, ICO is still the best. because at that time the ICO could make a growth of crypto adoption that is extraordinary. things may be different now, people are more interested in IEO than ICO. but IEO has not shown how market adoption can increase due to new projects that use this system.

while STO, we do not see great success ever succeeded in getting a new project with the STO sales system. some projects that use the STO system only get minimal funding, but we don't know how it will develop.

The rare occurrence of STO may make it difficult to evaluate but looking at the form of asset sold and regulations involved i will want to consider it with this present market and people. We need to try something different that will bring investors confidence without exchanges. It could be compare to ICO but a regulated one with asset. I find IEO not to be transparent enough and the long term of the process could be detrimental.

IEO - The most secure form of investment today. The main security condition is the reputation of the exchange. ISO is no longer profitable for investors and 90% switched to a new form of investment.

looks like IEO is trend for 2019! i participate in the first german STO - bitbond... loose 30% of investment - so now IEO at top exchanges (binance, okex, kucoin, huobi) only!

For this time it can be said IEO is the best way for investors to make investment. But not of all IEO project is good for invest, if you want to make profit you should choose IEO project from Binance, Huobi and Okex.

I think the exchanger you mentioned above does not guarantee that the project will run smoothly and does not rule out the possibility that projects that hold IEO in large exchangers will become scam projects or not continue the project.

IEoO most times gives investors the assurance that the coin will be listed on the exchange on which it is held. At least a contrat would have been signed to thta effect. Take for instance, if a project lunches its IEO on Binance, investors will create so much interest in it, because they know that it will be listed on it and there is every possibility for there to be an increase in price. We are already passed the time for ICO, so every project you see today will tell you tgat IEO will be held. STO is yet to be established and not so many people are creating interest in it because there is still as much risk attached to it like ICO. Until now, I still prefer IEO.

All these three types of sales differ from each other only in insignificant details. Their main goal is to raise our money. None of them gives us any guarantees. All this is pure luck.

The fact is that there are a lot of exchanges. And not all of them guarantee the success of IEO. I suppose recently I don’t like the Latoken exchange at all.Although in General, IEO is better than STO and ICO.(if of course it happens on a top exchange)

i think on the scheme on every projects also but i bet on the STO and IEO for now because we can ensure that the tokens will be surely delivered to use unlike ICO which if the softcap is not reach some of the possible outcome that the team will run the money or the project is dead for sure

Now IEO is more popular and everyone is aiming at the binance market to participate with IEO there.
Nevertheless, ICO still comes with several attractive offers. I am still sure both of them will still be there and be the best choice for investing.

Until now, IEO is the best way to help investors and exchange have profits. But after a few months have passed, IEO's profits have dropped a lot from the beginning. I fear for the next few months. IEO will also die like ICO

The idea between ICO, IEO and STO were all beneficial in the market and projects that want to gain investors and investors. It is just no that many projects tends to fail due to some reasons like limited idea and promotion, scam accusations and etc. We will be needing a new platform wherein we will be able to identify which of which of those project is legit and have room to grow or be successful more in the future. 

It's obvious that  ICO is obsolete, STO AND IEO is recommendable now however by and by I incline toward IEO on the grounds that it kill some specific issue . Previously, it took to some time before ICO Tokens are recorded in the wake of finishing their deals yet the circumstance is diverse now . Tokens can be recorded where the IEO is led .This is truly drawing in parcels individuals to purchase IEO tokens in an excellent trade . A trade like Binance sell their IEO effectively on the grounds that everybody put stock in the Exchange .STO then again is generally excellent too . Some great ones are quick selling simply like the IEO . I like it since they are administrative consistent

Not to talk much on this, there is no doubt that IEOs are now the order of the day looking at how the the risk level is reduced. No one want to be involved in the periods of ICOs where funds are collected into developers' wallet and at the end of the period, they close down their site and run away with a lot of funds. IEOs, aren't like that because funds are collected into the exchange before even giving it to the devs

In theory, if we remove the possibility of scam, then all 3 species would be excellent and acceptable ways to raise funds.
Moreover, the ICO would continue to live in view of the fact that it would not always be necessary to follow the strict conditions of exchanges when listing, and large exchanges require a lot of money and put difficult conditions for their participants.
However, we do not live in such a world, and therefore only IEO can be trusted today.

IEO trend now in bored point, investors will thinking its profitable anymore since little exchanges also launch their own projects and the quality will decrease alot and risky to dump.

If you are talking problem comparison Atara IEO, ICO, and STO. I personally prefer ICO because it proves to provide great gains. However, the ICO suffered a decline in its entry to the year 2018 and many fraudulent projects.

IEO is a project that has good potential and could possibly replace the ICO. But this project has not been proven and until now I have not heard the project generate huge profits.

This year was not great in terms of both new projects and the real product offered projects. IEOs are not going to pay the expenses of the investors who get scammed by the scam projects. I don't think this comparison will add any value to the argumentation of ICO lovers, they never want to buy the exchange coin in order to be in the priority list designed by the launchpad makers. The STO model didn't satisfy the investors due to the lack of the necessary features which can be discovered in the IEOs. The mechanisms for the token sales are complex but the main purpose is as equivalent as in the ICOs

STOs are not very popular yet. But I think that in the future they will become popular. I think that they have a future, but for this you need to build a good infrastructure.

People said 2019 will be STO year, but STO becomes a nightmare. STO was really a bad idea and I  haven't seen a single proper successful STO project. Every STO project becomes shit nowadays. ICO is another dead way for fundraising! This is the IEO time and IEO trending won't die until Binance and other reputed exchange holds it.

its all the same, they just change the name of what it is called. but for me STO is the best as the token is rcc and already accredited

In theory, if there was no possibility for scams, then there would be no need to create IEOs and STOs. The entire reason all these different styles of ICOs happened is just because of regulations and legal stuff. But all that legal issues only became an issue because scams were happening all over the place. No wild west, no issues.

Agree that ICO is getting old and starting to be replaced by IEO. If you have to choose between ICO and IEO, maybe almost all investors will choose IEO to avoid scam projects, but when compared to the two methods, in my opinion STO is safer as a long-term investment because it has an underlying

maybe the right order is
1. IEO
2. ICO
3. STO
currently IEO is still in control of good sales methods, and it has been proven by the success of several projects that carry out IEO in potential markets. while some ICOs currently still show the bright side, although not all ICOs are successful, some have achieved soft cap, or even almost reached hard cap. while for STO, there is no STO that I know is successful at this time, so maybe STO has not shown its success this year.

As someone above said, trends does matter, but they doesn't mean everything. Too complicated question to decide which is better. I personally would rate like this:
ICO
IEO
STO
If someone's interested - here's detailed article where all three systems are compared https://changelly.com/blog/ico-ieo-and-sto-comparison-investigating-crypto-with-eric-benz

Nice ranking but for me, I would exclude STO because it did not do anything good from the start it made a buzz and until the IEO arrived and buried it's name on the coffin. Some people would put IEO at top because it was a fast roi for investors which is a fair argument, but if we tally everything then IEO's success is only less than 5% of what ICOs made. Many ICO projects were launched to moon even it takes long to list and get pumped.

Personally, I believe that IEO is the best place to work now, because it is now more profitable than ICO and STO, and in general there is a risk of losing money in all cases

Must be in a popular exchange if you want to invest in IEO because if IEO in a small exchange can be fraudulent or will not be successful in raising funds, the important thing is we have to know that IEO is the best for investment.

If the indicator is investor interest, I believe that IEO is better than ICO. Moreover, lately many ICOs have been a scam, not being listed on the market even though a lot of time has passed. That is why the IEO strategy is more in demand by investors today. However, it also does not guarantee that all IEOs will succeed. It depends on many things, such as exchange, market interest, project strength, marketing strategies, etc.

IEO has always been of particular interest to many new investors because they can know for sure which exchange will list that coin and if it is a top exchange, the project will have a high rate of success. I have observed a number of IEO projects at small exchanges and most of them are always abandoned so before investing in IEO it is necessary to consider carefully and should choose a good exchange to participation . The best advice is to choose Binance, Gate, Okex, Huobi, Zb these are the exchange you can trust.

Well, Security Token Offering (STO) has a good proposal looking at the structure and legal backings it presents. Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) is receiving lots of attention of late because it has good structures were the exchanges run checks on the projects to avoid all scam projects. The exchanges do this to keep their reputation especially with the tier one exchanges like Binance and Kucoin.

Yep they are the same, but I prefer IEO than ICO because many investors gain profit in IEOs especially they listed in big exchanges. Investing ICO is really risky nowadays many of them are scam so if you really want  to invest in ICO you should research carefully the project.

actually the good ones are the same between these three, only the roles or activities in the forum may not be the same at all, there must be a difference, so we must be sure of our own beliefs to choose which is appropriate for us to use.

I prefer STEOs  ;D .... No, just kidding.

IEOs have the advantage over ICOs that the tokens are listed immediately on an exchange so people can dump trade right after the sale. Otherwise I don't see many differences between ICOs and IEOs. STOs however are bringing some welcomed change to token sales and can be a answer to regulatory concerns.

ICO STO AND IEO all are fund raising but IEO is best trend in the crypot currency system .Ieos are more secured compared to other fund rasiing events

ICO become more risky these days, and STO more complicated and it is look like you buy stocks, and this crypto market.
So i prefer IEO.

Sales with the system IEO, ICO or STO all have advantages and disadvantages of each, so the investors must certainly be more observant in choosing a sale to make an investment and currently it seems that IEO is the best choice for investors to invest apart from ICO and STO, for now it seems that ICO is becoming obsolete because of the large number of ICO fraud that occurred in 2018, while STO I think the concept of sales is too complicated so that many investors avoid it.

IEO is a good image for investing in projects right now when it is a safe and profitable trend but this hot phase is over, now everyone in the face of IEO, they are always very concerned, projects are not always profitable, sometimes we still lose a lot in the face of the dump status of projects. And with such a change, IEO, ICO and STO are probably reestablishing a balance, no one dares to guarantee which option is better, and investors should probably not continue to look at the trend, they should look at the potential and surrounding elements of the project.

Having tried ICO and IEO, I will have to conclude that I prefer the IEO style better. I do not know much about STO and how successful it has been but I do hear about projects going into STO to raise funds. So for me, it is IEO

It will be the same process as the intentions are getting funds to make the project progressive, though IEO have the edge to make things much easier for the risky investors, they can quickly trade the  token after the sale and results whether to earned or to lose investment can be decided right away.

Pick whatever you believe is profitable for your investment as it's your money to risk around.

It seems that only platforms like binance, okex, houbi are safe with IEO. However, I do not think joining the IEO of these platforms is easy. With Binance, you need to hold BNB for 15 days to receive a ticket, but the rate is very low from 2-10%, if the value of BNB dump after IEO and the currency you buy IEO has an ROI of less than 200%, I think there will be no profit.

Being an ICO, STO, or IEO does not guarantee the success of the project although each of these avenues has its unique features to facilitate the token sales. There are other important factors investors need to look out for in order to come up with the authenticity and capabilities of the project becoming successful. This may include paying much attention to the team and its expertise level, the idea and product of the project, the chosen marketing strategies etc.

I don't really know much about STO trend but in my opinion, ICO no longer attract investors due to past activities of scam that has been done by some greedy developers, IEO is the latest and it's currently the best, because it's safe, secure and it's hosted by exchanges

There are small differences in the methods, but the substance is the same.
owever, until something happens that shows that the altcoin market is rising, every investment is just a bet in the dark.

They are just the same in a way but different ways to collecting funds for a project. ICOs are held in order to attract as many as investors and many offerings are made during ICO. IEO is also launched to attract investors. But IEO is launched on exchanges to increase trust of a project. It aims to assure investment security as well. STO also aims to provide investment security more than ICO. 

I agree that recently in the crypto market there are a lot of scammers among ICO. However, there were better times when the right ICOs made huge profits, which none of the current IEOs can compare with. And all investors of such ICOs made a lot of money. And I really miss those days.

IEO is more better than tradition ICO or STO crowdfund campaign, even STO have more security from scamming investor fund than ICO of course  IEO still safer than other campaign above, because investor fund are escrowed by exchange, and now IEO are expanding to DEX platform too with more safer than CEX

After some ICO scams and some other problems I think ICO will sink and this is an opportunity for IEO and other methods.
investors are always looking for something new and more profitable, and IEO has proven it.
although only a few IEO were successful.

Among three of them I think ieo is better. They all came with same basic fundamental. They all are a process of fund collection. We saw many ICO project in last year and most of them are fake or failed.  Same thing with sto also. But in other hand ieos are more trusted and profitable. So I think oros are far better at least for now.

IEOs are significantly more secure than ICO's.
ICOs are known for scams and ought not be incorporated into the rundown, a huge number of dollars (millions) have been lost from ICO and in view of that IEO and STO was made as a decent crowdfunding stage, it offers a more secure condition for financial specialists to contribute, it's simply a question of time before we hear the remainder of ICO
STOs have not been a successful model so far so i believe IEOs are still d best

The three stage of coin offering, i preferred IEO, is simply means Initial Exchange Offering and at that stage, the project has been really show how the effort of the project with a low price of the coin, which is more courage to invest during IEO.

for me the best thing to say is to invest in IEO Instead of ICO and STO because I have tried IEO since I trust IEO because I have tried it and I have earned a lot here since I invested here.

since several IEOs have had success this year, people prefer the IEO project to ICO / STO. ICO quality degradation can be felt this year, and IEO came to replace it. although both are sales systems, but IEO offers tokens and their markets. so, when we don't need to wait for the market to sell the assets we have after IEO. IEO is certainly better now than the two sales systems.

In terms of security, IEO is relatively better than ICO or STO especially if the exchange holding the said crowdfunding scheme has a good reputation. Convenience-wise, IEO is also better since the exchange facilitating the token sale will instantly list the token on its platform once the crowdfunding has concluded. However, not all platforms are perfect. Given that a majority of cryptocurrency exchanges are centralized, there is the possibility of them getting hacked. Also, since they are not decentralized, they take fees for facilitating the token sale. We believe another feasible option is creating an investment protection mechanism for maintaining ICO security and quality.

They are all the same concept, to raise funds for the projects but there are some slight difference between them. If I would in these three then I obviously pick STO, real and legal STO though not some claimed STO without legal papers. Then follow by IEO because this is the trend right now and assurance to get listed on exchange is what investors would love to see.

In fact, IEO and STOs are not the same. STOs serve a different purpose. The so-called "Security Token Offering" is more about investment instruments that make up securities.
Therefore, the intended use of IEO projects is different from the intended use of STO projects. But unlike the IEOs, I must say that I have never seen a strong STO project. Because most failed or scam came out.

IEO is the best variant of 2019

ICO AND STO, who will be the one we can have to talk on this? the project team? what if they run away?
We have nothing then but to move on.
IEO, if the team project runs and then which we still have? EXHCANGE? yes that is right.
i will definitely go to IEO, Remember they are paid before they list the project on their platform!

All of them have their own advantages and setbacks, but I prefer IEO, it is better than both ICO and STO. It is more secure. According to experts from IBCGroup, IEO is a preferred method for the majority of investors.

Why is it preferred? Because IEO is safer than other options such as ICO and STO. So anyway, IEO is definitely liked by many Investors.
Actually the ICO method is good too, but unfortunately this method is used by many irresponsible people, because that is the emergence of IEO. Many people prefer this method when they want to invest.

To be more accurate, IEO exist simply because people are tired of getting scammed through unreliable ICO therefore an exchange sees the opportunity of providing IEO (basically ICO with few extra safety steps) and make some profit. If it's to be compared IEO will always be superior it have the liquidation, listed immediately after the funding is done and have been verified its legalities by the exchange. It's such a no brainer that if IEO could best ICO simply because it's an upgraded version of ICO and STO is not that different from ICO anyway but atleast it's kinda a little better than ICO in my honest opinion.

I don't think the STOs have achieved the desired success. Take a look around and show me a STO sample that's been successful. It is very rare. Most of the STOs I've been involved with have been scammed, so I don't trust any of them.

Besides, I think there's no difference between the STO and the ICO, at least I don't see any difference in terms of fund-raising.

But IEOs are very different. They vouch for the IEO, which will be held in the exchange, and promises to list it on its exchange. So it's always the IEOs that makes the most sense.

The exchanges handle the IEO's AML process. This eliminates the possibility of defrauding investors and users. But it's also worth reminding, stay away from IEOs made in bad exchanges. Latoken, for example, is one of these.

ICO has its own history when all investors interested and get much profits.but this history now just be history.and IEO become most favourite place to gain profits.many exchanges provide IEO services to attract investors put their money there.if we talk which is better between ICO, IEO or STO personally i will choose IEO.but maybe if STO become trend like IEO , much investors will interested too.

Obviously, people are talking about IEO now and its the trend this year so far.
ICO is phase out and STO is not liked by the people and personally I don't have an idea on how that STO works as in the first place, I didn't bother to research when we already have the best crowdsale platform which is IEO.

Exchanges, especially the reputable ones helps this market to bring back the confident of the investors, and hopefully this will continue and it will grow like the success of ICO during its peak.

IEO seems to be the only main thing right now thats making the money right now so i think people having taking a turn from the others although ICO is just same thing that brakes into these two With so many exchanges offering their own launchpad I think is just the order of the day

IEO is an investment method that produces profits and losses that are currently popular, who might have a future if they keep investors from fraud projects. And to make money you can work as a bounty participant or do a freelancer on several sites. so you have to choose the right words to argue

Surely IEO is better than ICO and STO, that's what I think. I see the great benefits of IEO and its importance. do you think so?

STO and IEO tokens both evolve from ICOs. They all have the same basic function. But at the moment, I find IEO the most popular and the most stable market in the token.

They are all good the only difference there is PROJECT. good project wether IEO , ICO or STO will surely bring profits to investors and crypto market at large.

2017 introduced us with ICOs while 2019 bring with it IEOs.
If you compare both of them IEO is better option as its backed by an exchange and chances of scam are less in IEO. IEO vs ICO :- Which is the Best Tokenized Crowdfunding Model (https://www.mobiloitte.com/blog/ieo-vs-ico-which-is-the-best/)

Are you joking? Look at crowdfunding programs from Telegram, Microsoft, Brave and other well-known IT companies, they all use the informational market. This shows that such marketing is still requested and legitimate. The most important thing for an investor is to carefully study all the documents of the project, evaluate its prospects, the uniqueness of the proposal for the market, so that it does not lose its usefulness over time. Then investing is not a problem

Definitely IEO is better than ICO and STO i think. ICO is no more at the current crypto-currencies space. On the other hand still now STO (Security Token) is not established. So many differences between these type of method. IEO is just exchange offering that's why it’s huge popular in the certain time but now it’s also risky investment in the random projects.                  

Even among STO projects, unsuccessful investments happen. Because success depends on many factors. You must do your homework. You must stalk the project as if you were a high school girl googling the name of your crush. You must know and evaluate everything.

Among the types of sale made be it ico, ieo and sto, of course if we pay close attention Ieo is a sale that is a little safer for us or investors than ico or sto. For ico, we all know how by 2018 it will be a platform for developers to sell their fraudulent project tokens. While the current sto seems better than ico, but in reality the procedure applied by the two sales concept methods is almost the same, in fact it is only for profit and there is no guarantee of future token development for investors.

IEO is better than both, both ICO and STO at the moment. why u because of what IEO brings. IEO is capturing the market, IEO is new and has many breakthroughs

Non is better to me as what I see to be better is a good and potential project that will benefit investors and market. Fake IEO, ICO and STO are all over and can't be generalized to be better than others .having a good project be it of any aforementioned is good.

for me I would say IEO, I dont know about STO, ICO? not all but mostly scam, if not scam the coin or token will be listed to an exchanger but dumped by a lot of holders, I want IEO just recently TROY conducted IEO in Binance, I didnt buy the token but I participated in AMA (ask me anything) I won $16 worth of TROY, when it got listed the value doubled and sold my token for $32, that was amazing right.

IEO is the best since the beginning of this year, ICO is no more interesting since scammers have taken offer the ICO fund raising idea, as for STO there hasn't been any project that delivers what STO is all actually about

People used to tell that this year gonna be STO year,! Some projects like Mobu, Hyghtech, Orbis turned into STO from ICO projects and the STO shit is gone! Investing in ICOs means you are wasting your money willingly, only IEO rocks nowadays, but wait, most of the IEOs are shit too, you have to pick the top and famous exchange's IEO.

In ideal situations or circumstances, I would choose the STOs but due to the young nature of cryptocurrency market and its immaturity, STOs are not tenable because it requires company with balanced synergy within the centralised and decentralised world. So that being non applicable, I would choose IEO for reasons which are obvious

I actually wonder what is going to be next after those 3. Probably STO because they give some responsibility for the coin issuer, while others are not really bound by much to even continue the project once they cash out

They are indeed the same if you look generally on them. It is just IEOs have more sense of security compared to the other two since the project is sure to be listed on the exchange. IEOs might not produce a higher profit but at least it doesn't trick or manipulate you with unrealistic promises. It is also more likely to survive since it can easily be traded.

I think STO is the best among ICO and IEO. Reasons been that with STO project owners will have to go through necessary security measures so as to avoid scamming innocent investors. And with STO the intervention of SEC is well guaranteed should incase anything happens

ICO is collecting money from investors directly by the project developer, while IEO is an investor who can buy coins directly from a project through an exchange provided by the project developer. So in terms of investment is better with IEO. Listing tokens or coins after ICO and IEO have finished the same. The price of the token after listing to the exchange is also possible to go up or down, even die. Although it is an IEO project.

All has it's flaws, ICO is full of scam and fake projects. Many has lost money on ICOs and STO is nothing different from it. IEO is much better but has it's bad side as some exchanges IEOs fail and some that claims to be real, are not real.

STO, IEO derived from ICO, all these have a time for reigning, and it is now, IEO is now they usable one now because it simplify the actual process of looking for exchange in terms of listings, there is popular and shocked news that Avalanche token raised 45million dollars in just 4.5 hours a week ago know ICO crowfunding., if this is truly true, then, ICO would be erupting in the space now.

It all really depends on the project and the Team behind it. I noticed some Binance launchpad projects have done really well so I am watching those and accumulated a few with interest which are growing nicely. I think I would consider ICOS if they were backed by venture capital firms as they usually are quite good and serious projects and have been vetted by big companies with capital to spare and invest. You need to do your own research in each category and find the best projects in each niche.

yes, there is nothing wrong with the three systems, because ultimately this goes back to the team, whether they choose the right sales method or not. it's just that, I think that IEO is far better than the two systems for now, because now people are more interested in seeing where this project will be marketed going forward. the better the exchange, the greater the project's opportunity to develop.

ICO is nearly dead, IEO and STO is one kind of transformation from Initial Coin Offering (ICO). For comparison, i also prefer Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) as it is more suitable for the investors because they can trade tokens on the same exchange or more exchange after the IEO period.

IEO is probably the closes to the traditional stock market investment. It's an easy way to invest in a company that's already on the market, has an established position, usually is regulated.

I don't know enough about STO projects but it looks like they lack usability. They're more secure than ICOs which are of course the worst choice of the three but not as good as investing in a physical firm.

i think IEO is better,, because the coin/token is already listed in the exchange, and its the only way to buy the coin. many projects now are using this ieo to get the attention of the investors

My first choice is IEO. You can call it the update version of ICO. There are many reasons for choosing this. One of them is IEO projects is verified by the exchange team. So there is less chance of fall a victim to scam. I will always suggest to join the IEO of renowned exchanges like Binance, Kucoin or Gate.

Even legit projects have fixed their coin amount to sell on the top exchange. Later the rest of coins are released to gain extra money then market dump. The same process I found in ICO. Only low volume exchange can't protect the price dump where Binance exchange can do it. IEO is also my favorite but in some exchange, IEO could force success.

IEO raised the doubt about projects and gives power to top exchanges, investors are more satisfied with what IEO has to offer, top exchanges takes responsibility about projects they allow on their platforms because they have reputations to protect, this is what ICO and STO can't do.

They are not the same; all three have a different sale system! Ico was dead after the long run bear market in 2018 and after so many scams! STO idea never worked correctly in crypto space, because real crypto supporters don't like the centralized or controlled projects for investment, STO is not the proper idea in crypto, so, this idea failed! After so many scams ICO, when investors were fed up and started leaving crypto investment at that time, IEO made the revolution! From then to now, IEO is ruling, and I like this idea most. Because you know Binance, Kucoin, Gateio, Bittrex, Poloniex are better exchanges, you trusted them, and when they choose a project for IEO among so many, that time you can blindly put your money on them! But think hundred times before you invest in IEO that doesn't list in those mentioned exchanges!

It's factual that they all have something in common which is their aim. ICO, IEO and STO are all semantics, they are structured to raise funds from investors in cryptocurrency space. Investors lost interest in ICO, so IEO and STO were incorporated to carry out the same function like ICO. The ICO's are barely been patronised due to the inherent risk associated with the scheme, but some projects are still getting good investors while conducting ICO.

Personally i am satisfied with IEOs and those too at bigger exchanges because they pick and choose the best projects through hundreds of applications so the probability of success is higher while as we move to smaller exchanges IEOs the risk again grows but still IEOs are better because unfirtunately most of the ICOs were scams. As they were easy for scammers because no checks, filtration or regulation.

bounty hunter thinking is as you wrote above ... but, the main pillar of a crowdfunding event are investors, you can't refuse anymore if there are no investors then crowdfunding fails.. automatically
  ... whereas IEO only promises tradeable coins, and developers never think about  the price

at least the mutual benefit relationship must be number one ... so that the ecosystem can run progressively..

They are all samething but in different phases. When ICO was ICO it was definitely going so well before scammers invaded and IEO surfaced and now investors have been hurt by some exchanges which causes low investment know. But IEO is actually the best now but has to do with exchange now. ICO still pays but few which is from the team transparence and genuiness. I have seen a project that did ICO lately and it was so good. It's all about packaging.

I believe this question has been answered a million times but I will still add a thing or two. First and foremost they are all fundraising methods which the team of a project banks on to access funds from their users and/or investors. Now among all them, IEO is better because it takes place on exchange thus investors will have the opportunity to sell as at when due without having to worry if the team will exit scam immediately funds were raised. Investors will also have the opportunity to participate based on the type of exchange, as it really matters. This exit scam of a thing was found majorly in ICO, this is because with the funds being in possession of the team makes it easier for them to steal. STO on the other hand, have had little or no success so far.

That depends on the project that has already created IEO or ICO. Investors will be putting all of their hopes to the project that has already proven its reliability to the investors and the same thing is also happening with IEO too.

It's just that, the fact is that currently, IEO is prioritized over ICO and STO. that's because the existing market guarantees, and we can identify the project based on the existing market and volume. if there are conditions I have to choose a project with the same concept but have a different way of selling, then I will choose IEO.

Well yes IEO is better because its already in the market, we just need to choose the best exchange to have a high chance that it will be profitable and likely to succeed. On the other side if you look into it deeply they are just the same, they just have different system. The point is whatever you choose make sure that you're aware of the consequences of your action because there's no guarantee of sure money in crypto space.

Personally i like STO's quite a lot. They are legal and they represent a digital share of the company with all rights that are connected to it.
The downside is, that there a no big exchanges yet where you can trade security tokens comfortably because of legal reasons.
I dislike IEO's. Just look whats happening with every Binance IEO: People are selling their tickets OTC. Then they use bots and scripts to buy as fast as possible when the IEO starts and to immediately sell it again on the exchange.  :-\
It's just a quick flip for most people.

STO is a complete failure, way worse than ICO, have any of you guys seen a successful STO project? All I've seen are total failure, honestly I expect STO to be better than even IEO but I was wrong, if I come across any project that plans to use STO for find raising I quickly move on, a latest example of recent STO project is RelictumPro, they failed to raise fund because no investors have interest

why blame the type of funding if no investors interested on the project ? you should blame the project itself because they dont make a quality product .  on what year did sto existed anyway because i have never seen one , i dont know if its earlier than ico or later than ieo but if its new , people should praise it because we love to see new stuffs and we will got curious if how theyl work . i dont experience sto and ieo's yet , only ico and i have a good experience with it on the past

Scammers were able to get away with stolen funds through ICO because all it takes is a well attractive website and ICO rating websites that gives good rating depending on how much scammers paid them but things are a bit different with IEO, with top exchanges scammers have lesser chances to go on binance for fund raising, they will be detected, IEO is better

The IEO is now a game for whales, the rules for participating IEO projects of any exchange sites is built to the rich can buy as much as possible.
Anyway, I think IEO is still good for stopping scammers than ICO.

I think we know better that it is not about the ICO or STO nowadays, maybe IEO may look better with good exchange. Who is supporting your project matters now because the trust for the supporter is so attractive to traders even when traders or investors does not understand your project. If binance or some strong crypto holders with big fund are supporting any project it gets attractive and likely pump the price. We might need sustainability in the space but most investors came to get profit

IEO is more reliable right now than other crowdfunding in crypto space right now, forget ICO and STO, I'm looking forward to a probably better crowdfunding called DYCO, only a single project used DYCO as at now, I hope we see more good results in near future

They are all the same, have the same purpose is to raise funds for the project, and they only differ in the way they work. At the moment, IEO is the best and safest option for investors. If they participate in the IEO of the major exchanges in this market, the investors will surely have twice as much profit from it.

I might slightly lean towards the IEO because you are guaranteed that the token is going to be listed in the exchange and also it's about easy to keep track of the snout if coins sold in the ico. But ico has its advantages as well.

IEO will be the best at the moment, in 2018 there were too many scam ICOs and it died, then the IEO was born and made the projects successful and investors profit from it. If you want to invest in new projects then it is best to join the IEO of the leading exchanges in this market.

I think that STO is a top priority for investing in a project because it ensures the legal element for the project if you want to invest safely and long term. The next priority order is IEO because you will be sure of the price competition when you buy your tokens and make sure they are listed as soon as possible. Finally
ICO, quite risky and everyone can participate if eligible for the project. The ICOs of 2013-2015 was quite good because the majority of projects were large and prestigious. That is Ethereum, Ripple ...

ICO and IEO are still exist and both are still being used by some developers but the only worst thing that should be STO as almost all of the projects were getting the funds through STO were scam project and it's even worst than ICO when we back at 2017. STO is the worst thing that ever exists in crypto

STO is the worst one out of the three, unfair rules are forced on investors and STO is more like a centralized platform, IEO is pure enough of you invest through top exchanges launchpad, ICO is still good but more dangerous than IEO, the choice is yours OP

We just need to participate in IEOs, there are so many good IEO projects popping up every day and we just need to follow and invest in it. Don't waste your time with ICOs and STOs because it won't bring you too much profit

I agree with many that IEOs are the best between ICOs and STOs because they no longer think about where the exchange will take place, with many cases of fraud against investors when participating in ICO and STO projects making people rethink investing in ICO and STO projects,
but not all projects that use fake ICO and STO, some are successful and good, but for now the best IEO..

I have seen quite a lot of STO project in 2019, and thought that might be a new trend that could replace ICOs. But in the end, no STO project was successful. IEO is still good and we can get a lot of profits from it if we join Binance, Okex's IEO .. And the leading exchanges in the market
