Currently IEO's are becoming pupular and providing a more reliable option for new projects than ICO's. Previously a lot of new projects started by raising funds via their ICO sites and because of unregulated nature of this avenue, a lot of scammers used the medium to swindle a lot of victims.

Now the story has changed as it only serious projects that would want to go through IEO's, we no longer would hold only the project body responsible for any IEO scam but the exchange, so any exchange that values its reputation and users should do a proper scrutiny about any project before accepting their IEO sales. For instance if an exchange fails multiple times with their IEO, it will drive attention away from them, that is why Binance still draws a lot of attentions because it has recorded more successful and profitable IEO's.

In any case, IEO is a more promising investment. Scammers are not interested in their coin or token developing. Really serious projects pay a lot of money for IEO.

Scammers are still using IEO to raise fund and some exchanges careless about their reputation and they are unapologetic about that. Bluenote is a project that was conducted on dobitrate exchange, and dobitrate is notorious for a fake volume. So scammers still perverse IEO as such you are to to deal with extreme caution.   

I don't think it is true. Actually, I doubted that some SCAM projects are looking for good exchanges. Because they already knew if they will be listed on good exchanges, they will collect good money how much they deserved.

I couldn't agree more. The idea that an IEO is reputable by default is a fallacy. There are so many dodgy exchanges with fake volume and scam accusations that are now cashing in on the IEO market, more or less directly partnering with scammy projects that plan to make "easier" money grabs. Don't believe the hype.

Soon enough, the IEO market in 2019 will be as unreliable as the ICO market in 2018 for investors.

the days of IEOs are going to be a lot shorter than their alternatives because the exchanges are for now are filtering the worst ones and only try to list the least scammy ones and those that are not obvious scams but still are. but soon enough to earn more money they will start accepting bribes in form of "listing fees" and list everything and we will be where we started. in the end any type of fund raising through token distribution must end.

Same thing the original poster is saying, if dobitrade continues to list scam projects, it will bring down the reputation and no one would want to buy from dobitrade anymore, unlike ICO's that same scammers can come in different shades and names just to swindle their victims

You may be right but we must also note that even if developers pay high for IEO, they can still take back that with ease because many will buy in the exchange even if that project is not legitimate. They can still conduct IEO even if that is a scam project.

but there is very few IEO on Binance compared to other exchanges. if you enter on smaller exchanges, you will see that there are a lot of ieo.

What killed ICO is proliferation, so many ICO's at a time, from tens to hundreds a week and even thousands within months. So far the rate has reduced as I am not aware of any known ICO ongoing. The IEO's will then have to struggle through exchanges as the best will stand out. People are wiser and exchanges should learn not to list any garbage except they intend to lose it all

I think the IEO will prevent from the scam project because before they can release the project, they need to get verification from the exchange which will help us to get the potential and profitable project in the future. But that will not stop IEO from the scamming because the scamming itself will always be there. At least, the exchange will give their contribution to scanning the right project, and the customer itself could feel save to invest in the project.

IEO brings short-term returns to investors and if the project is really good, the value of that coin will reach a very high level and it is very easy to double the profit if many people are interested. I often participate in projects that have been mentioned by many people and up to now I've participated in more than 6 IEOs and my current profit is over 1200%. A number that I have never dreamed of and now I can relax in my current life

It's investors who should be careful about exchanges first. Not all exchanges are same. You can't expect good from a bad exchange. Anyone investing in yobit's IEO is gambling.
And secondly investors should also choose which IEO to invest on as not IEO would be the same. So, you still need to research about the project and make sure, it's worth your investment.

The use of careful word in the title remind me that still there is risk of scam projects even if the project promoted by highly reputed exchange,so what we need to do is don't trust the exchange even if they are huge just see the project from yourself and decide it is whether worth to invest or not.

FOr me even many IEOs are not worthy to invest because their main motivation to create such project is to make profits not to create any benefits to the investors.

I think in the future, exchange will have to work hard to make their projects successful, or they will be exchange-traded in the future.
I'm currently quite worried about IDAX. it is a pretty good exchange but recently it has allowed many trivial projects to sell IEO on their exchange. They seem to be more interested in money than exchange reputation.

maybe IEO is more proissing if we comparing with the others crowdfunding models my friend
but, it doesn't meaning if scammers will not come to this crowdfunding models called IEO
so, everyone should DYOR before investing

but BINANCE rarely opens projects for the IEO, maybe because the requirements are quite strict.
but I really like the concept of the IEO from the ICO, because I think it's safer and avoid fraud

Yeah this is true if a project after hosting an IEO on an exchange turns out to be scam the exchange will also be held accountable. So in view of This it's advisable exchanges conducts a strict kyc for the team of every project that one to host an IEO and post in the exchange.

You may not know because there are scammers too that are willing to invest just to get in to this new way of investing and funding of such projects. If they had the money to invest to be considered by these exchanges to run an IEO, well it is possible for them as long as they have money.

At least the replacement of ICO projects were promising and IEO was slightly can restore investors confident to involved again in crypto after plenty of people suffering lost because scam ICO's and the good thing is IEO currently was dominated by trustable exchange such as binance and we were pretty safe following and being an investors from it so the investors can minimize to get scammed by people

I saw some exchange sites have already rejected the cooperation with some ICOs that indicated as scam ICOs. This gives more security layers because any exchange needs the team to be verified through use its verification method.
I thought that any exchange site has already put its standard.

I see in this year so many developer using the IEO method to get some much money to develop their project. Honestly i feel a little confused what that can we get from the IEO, because i don't spend out my money for invest in there.

If you are lucky to participate inside binance IEO's you'll be able to get decent to huge profits after the sale was ended, when the token completely finished the sale and start to be exchangeable inside the exchange the growth will bring good value of your invested money.

Agree, the exchange that wants to accept the IEO from the project does have to check or analyze the clarity of the project so that its reputation as an exchange does not disappear or fade in the eyes of their visitors, especially traders and investors.

the more hectic projects that make IEO sales in exchange, should all exchanges that carry out the IEO have to strengthen their selection of the project. because the collaboration made must be really profitable not because they pay to make a sale on their exchange. like bianance who is really selective in choosing projects in their launchpad. and that will keep big names exchanged.

Thats why I am trying to take part in IEOs only on really big and serious exchanges like Binance, Huobi, Bittrex, Kucoin. Because you do not need to make your own investigation anymore,  because exchanges already made it for us.

Kucoin is not the largest exchange that would be worth trusting in choosing a project for investment. and in general, I think that you should conduct your research regardless of the exchange

i agree with that, i found a scam IEO in Bittrex then look at bittrex now it is become a small market again.
IEO is not just have a good effect it is have a bad effect to like that.
so if you find some IEO and you want to invest, always look do some research first before starting to join IEO in some exchange.

Initially when I heard of IEOs, I thought there would never be any  scam project that would organise an IEO. But upon careful deliberations, I realise some scammers are very tactical in their dealings, they don't mind paying huge sums of money to be listed on a popular exchange and scamming investors of a greater amount.

That's right, exchange platform should more be careful about IEO listing. I personally focus more on the IEO at Binance Launchpad, I have invested in several IEO projects on Binance Launchpad and that's very profitable.

Rome definitely wasn't built in a day . We are so thankful of this revolution, the new Era of IEO . Yes, as stated, Exchanges must be careful in the choice of project they are listing for IEO because they are going to take the responsibility and their reputation is at stake.  IEO has reduced all these Scamming ICO Projects . We believe there would be total sanity in Crypto space someday.

I believe that IEO is currently one of the most promising tools for collecting events for any project, since there is more confidence in this from the side of investors and for the fact that it is organized by the exchange.

If you invest in the IEO in large exchanges such as Binance, Bittex will be profitable because there are many investors who have been waiting if there is a launchpad on both exchanges, it will be rushed and sold quickly.

Fraud always happens everywhere where it is always looking for loopholes or exploiting situations like this with the emergence of IEOs that are widely discussed by many people, we must be careful with something more hype because there are many people who use it only to take advantage of each investors, indeed this is a very heavy stage for large exchanges where they have to actually choose the project in detail, I hope they can overcome this in anticipation of excessive fraud, fixed positive values for the IEO.

The IEO is more guaranteed than the ICO now but we cannot say that all IEO guarantee profit because the IEO done on a small exchange is an IEO that doesn't have good quality and may be a scam

At the moment a new way of fundraising for projects is IEOs via exchanges. Due to the introduction of IEOs there is a decrease in ICOs.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 list 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 the bar on their website. It is very difficult to know the exact amount of funds raised.
However, as you mentioned, with IEO, responsibility is also with exchanges launching that IEO to build confidence in existing and new users. So we get the assurance to a great extent looking at the exchange featuring the IEO.
Exchanges must be having specific criteria or conditions for the projects to list their IEO on it. Fulfiling the criteria can certainly decide a trustworthy relation between exchange and the project listing IEO.

I am not sure that the IEO will bring good profits for investment, but this situation makes new investors more happy because they can see registered tokens in crypto exchanges and they are sure to avoid fraud.
there will be many IEOs in the new crypto exchange, I always remind everyone to always see the details of the project before investing because nothing guarantees that the IEO will run properly and no one will scam

If exchange is safe, ieo will be safe too. Anyhow if you use a scam exchange, ieo it's just a faster way to loose you cryptocurrencies.

I suggest to deeply search about exchanges reputation. That's quite easy and very useful.

Yeah, i too think that too many IEOs can also make them look ordinary so each exchange needs to take time and proper due diligence about the project and team before approving them to be listed as ieo.

IEO become mainstream and now every failed ICO is making an IEO. But you are good as the exchange you used for IEO. There are tons of exchanges but there is only a couple of good one and has real volume. If you see an IEO on an exchange you don't have any clue about it but says they have 500m $ daily volume. Just check their so-called most volume pair and see how they fabricate orders out of thin air and leave that place.

Fraudsters still use ICO and IEO. IEO has essentially not brought anything new. IEOs are only as good because of Binan and his good reputation.

There are still many exchanges we need to be careful about IEO listing scammers are still not gone where ever you go so we need to be careful about this, we need the exchanges with the high volume and no bad reputation from the investors.

I personally think Initial exchange offering (IEO) is best at the top exchanges as they have the reputation and integrity to promote legit project unlike now and small exchanges that are just after the money. Also these top exchanges have the liquidity to make the project succeed

The sale in Binance is the reality itself. I mean, greed for money. The majority are perhaps unaware of what the project belongs to, but binance's difference in IEO is remarkable for most people. "Maybe this is the way to lead us where they want".

The projects published by Binance became successful thanks to this exchange and because they were the first in the IEO. Now coins after IEO lose their price much more often.

How they handled the sale period up to the listing really makes many investors to fomo inside this exchange, there's a lots of people who manage
to ride with how this exchange make  its way, its bringing more and more interest and more investors money around, there's no proven usable
product everything is under speculations but binance manage to bring good advertisement and get investors inside.

Binance has a good run of IEO success, because of the way they screen their IEO participants, we will see more successful projects on Binance platform and this is another feather in their cap, they started it all and they are good at it, the original is still the best.

They have a high standard for projects that wants to use their platform because their name is at stakes here, no scam projects will escape on their criteria, hopefully, the small exchange can follow the lead of Binance, so they can protect IEO and investors will continue to trust their platform.

That is true with the tremendous growth of IEOs today, it might lead to a call of concern, that is both investors and and exchanges needs to be very careful in the project they accept or wishes to invest in. On the investors side due diligence should always be their watchword while exchanges should ensure their users/investors are protected by making sure the team is verified.
 

I don't know how the exchanges can be held responsible for a failed IEO. Nevertheless, I see IEO as a more improved way of ICO and it can at least minimise scam.

Binance lists only potential IEO projects, so they are safe! Huobi, oKex, Kucoin are doing well too. But look at the mediocre exchange, they are bringing some average and shitty IEOs on the board. Recently I found a tweet that Dcoin exchange and Latoken showed fake raise in their IEO launchpad, which is very possible for these exchanges. They are not aware, they just want to earn some extra money! So, every crypto supporters should be careful about low tier IEOs!

You are right IEOs are ofthe great interest now. the important thing is to chooce the dafe place to take part in. smth like tokinex or so. but not latoken as it is real scam. I don't want to be the victim as on the ico hype 2  years ago.

All the projects are original on the Binance exchange and on few other exchanges but the way projects are performing on Binance is impressive and super cool. Most of the project investors are from Binance and that is why we see the market cap better than that of any other exchange. Now CTOs are working greatly due to some additional features about which professionals are saying that it is better than IEOs.

Others didn't see that IEO has an disadvantage anyhow, and that is if the exchange are not good in the market the utility token will also be useless to be list ion that exchange. Just like Latoken, were recently most bounty hunters and investors hate it due to most of the token that has been listed to their platform died in the end(Zero volume).

Binance still leading in IEOs because most IEOs they held always give profits more than x5 for their investor. Its like a hype but good exchangers must be list only good project with good prospect.

Well there's always a scam projects that will conduct IEO on a scam exchange, best thing to do for investors is to avoid those exchanges which is not reliable or had done a previous scam IEO. Just participate on reputable exchange like binance because its a trusted platform and all the IEOS on binance are trading way above their IEO price.

The exchange will have to do some due diligence about the project they want to list.
and of course, they have to do it seriously if they want to maintain the reputation of the exchange.
I believe the top exchanges have professional peoples to do the research prior listing IEO.

Almost all ieo that i saw in this time of cryptocurrency are listed in cheap Exchanges so same with icos will never be profitable so i invest in ico than ico because ico csn be list in multiple exchangers than ieo and i have a project that offers ico and this is the Dencoin tokens .

if we see exchanges are more cautious with new Ieo listing. we cant say exchanges are users friendly like icos this time ieo are facing strict rules

After the first Bittorent IEO by Binance exchange, the conditions are changed 180 degrees on the ICO planned projects. It is more cost friendly to get listed by the same exchange that can manage the token sale for the team. Small exchanges are not reliable like big ones.

However, this kind of IEO will also affect the exchange, later it will become a problem if too many coins / tokens are listed on the exchange so that at certain points there may be several coins that have a volume below the average. This thing will create these markets become a junk someday.

This is good advice because not all IEOs will be hosted by reputable exchanges that have a track record of being reliable or a decent success rate so make sure you focus on the major launchpads such as Tokinex, Binance, Liquid, OKex, Houbi, and KuCoin and research each one

They should really strict about accepting such IEO projects. Considering that Binance is one lf reputable exchange, they shouldn't put their reputation at risks. As you know, scammers are really trying hard to enter IEO now. There is still fund raising behind this project and we could still fall for the fraud. Exchanges should really be cautious selecting IEO. Now it is hard for a particular coin to start listing on an exchange.

It is a matter of time before we start to differentiate between real exchanges that are capable of holding IEO from those hungry exchange platform that are merely fundraising platform with sole interest of making quick money by listing project for IEO. I will not mention names but If you are investor and you are very wise, by now you will know some of these exchanges I am refering to. Some of them have numbers of tokens running crowdsales higher than the number of crypto listed and trading on their platform. Not to talk of many dead projects that they have refuse to delist.

IEO contributes to investors feel more secure about what they invest. But all have risks. Do you know projects like Merculet (MVP). There are many guarantees but in the end it is still a dead project. Team Dev has left the project when he has listed major exchanges.

So there is nothing to guarantee 100% you will be safe. The IEO, too, projects are carefully selected but do not mean it can live forever.

Presently the only exchange I would stay away from is idex and systemkoin because they have bad examples of worse listing ,dumpis and of cos failed fundraising through IEO ,best exchanges for IEO are binance ,okex huobi ,bitforex ,idax ,latoken

I think other than top exchange like Binance and bittrex don't do any much deeper investigation before listing any IEO, if so, this can turn investor into huge loss.

IEO steps are here to restore investor confidence after ICO played with them. now binance collaboration and the IEO are a hard slap for ICO project actors who have deceived many people. now they must be faced with the seriousness of the IEO in making a good and quality project.

you right sir, IEO is more friendly for us and the exchange who lauch that IEO is always list that coin.
IEO is the best choose for know, we know ICO is not safe and we must becareful when we look a good ICO.
i just hope no scam again in ICO, i miss ICO in 2017.

now IEO is very clear for us to recognize, select IEO that has been registered on popular websites such as binance, okex, latoken, and exmarket to avoid fraud. investors are very interested in the IEO program. all turned to IEO, including me.

The main thing that this will not engage investors.Although I notice a lot of IEO held for example on the stock exchange ,,latoken,, and they are not profitable and pretty not honest with the participants of the bounty.So you do not need to completely turn off your head when investing.

Exchanges should be able to identify a fraud project before it get listed on their IEO.
Their reputation will be ruined if they failed to avoid scams and frauds, even traders will leave them.
good exchange like binance must be have a certain way to verify the legality of the project.

I am sure they will taking care to select the right project to be list on the IEO. They will make sure the member will not get scam by the projects, and I think the project needs to pay some amount if they want to be list on the exchange, so the team doesn't scam the members. I think that it is necessary to prevent scamming because that will be related to their reputation too.

It is very easy actually but inexperienced teams seems to not know about this.

Just check the real volume of the exchange which will make ieo. Not the shit on cmc. There are plenty of websites show real volume. And choose on of the good ones, not the fake ones.

Exchanges are the ones to be careful which IEO projects they want to list,once the IEO project turn scammed it will tarnish the image of the exchange and devs should be careful too ,not all exchanges are good for your IEO project e.g idax

Well, this is a new type of scam. Soon they will compile a list of real stock exchanges that do not like mochinations. And there will be leafing coins. I think IDAX became the first example. But you understand that this exchange was not very bad. It is not clear why they went to such a step.

yes IEO became more a promising investment,  minimizing individual scammers from coming into the cryptocurrency space but the the exchanges themselves became the scammers.  Read the scam accusation around IDAx and get the clear picture

I stand with this, the risk is more on the exchanges although they can make money on it, but if a certain project is a scam and they host it, that would lead to a possible destruction of their reputation and their profitable operation will be affected. If we trust the exchange and they have more to loss, then we should be more aggressive in investing in IEO as most probably more investors are trusting that exchange and the value when launch could rise easily.

One good example is BINANCE IEO.

I think there is a turn around now mate. Currently the projects needs to be careful of the project that they want to list on now as some exchanges has been reported of scam. And all this new exchanges coming up can't be trusted in any way.

I think you don't need to worry about that. Because the current famous exchanges like Binance and Huobi have to carefully evaluate the quality of IEO projects on their exchanges. So there will never be a case of an IEO scam on those famous exchanges. I think the IEO on the famous exchanges is a very safe and profitable investment for investors.

Yes, there's a need being careful when you will find and invest with IEO's as there's  a lots of scam which ongoing best to participate where reputable
exchange offers the sale period, they are aware with scammers and they will lessen the chance as they need to protect their business and make sure that
they will not harmed the business that's been established.

That the project started off as an IEO doesn't mean that it is automatically going to be profitable. It might be trustworthy and you're not getting scammed, but you can still invest in it and lose your money. So don't just automatically imagine that the project is going to grow at the long run because they started off on a big exchange. I have seen so many IEO's that start good at the beginning and their prices will be going, but at the end of it all, you will see the price plummet and a lot of investors their interest from it.

Of course one of the risks of IEO is the wrong choice of the exchange to list their token or coin during the IEO. There was a news about the certain exchange that scams their client that is holding IEO on the exchange (such as idax.pro). This will really influence the success of the project developer and investors. That is why, before holding certain IEO, it is better to ensure that the exchange to pick is the trusted one, with a good track record at least, moreover the top exchange will be better.

A project team can still conduct ICO and be successful. Although, it is not true that investors have shifted from ICO to IEO, but this is not in totality. Also, the IEO that we are talking about comes in variance depending on the exchange on which it is conducted.

Yes, IEO is the new trend and no doubt have been profitable for most investors. Nevertheless with this rise in IEO, one needs to be careful of most exchanges, in this case, exchanges that will spring up from no where to promote an IEO. One of the reason Binance IEOs always sell out fast is that, they try to go for good project. Thus before getting involved with any IEO, check the project and also how reliable the exchange is.

Regarding the issue of security, I completely agree with you - IEO really does not leave any chances to fraudsters. BUT it was much easier to get into the ICO than to the IEO. There you can track your transaction in the blockchain. At the same time, it is almost impossible to get to the IEO, except perhaps to win a lot of BINANCE (for which the chances are also extremely small).

There will be always enough scam projects in crypto industry, because, as you said, even exchanges are not always seen obvious scams and are launching IEOs with them. The latest example was on Bittrex exchange.

On the contrary, it is even easier to steal money. In IEO now invest more. If a crook comes out on a well-known stock exchange, he can pick a big cash. Scammers can understand how to bypass the protection of exchanges and all we will have a new stream of fraud.

Yep fail or success IEO will drive the exchange that hositing popularity. Happened on Binance with their IEO, Most of them were success and profitable for investor.
and about failed IEO i just remembered aboutBittrex, they failed to make their IEO success. The price droping after hit market

The biggest downfall of most ICO is over complication and oversaturation of the ICO market, such a significant number of ICO's at any given moment, means that there are too many icos going on at every single time.
In a market that is not seeing too many new incomers, this is not sustainable and investors have to be more careful as some exchanges will device cunning means to make an iEO look great even if its not.

It's not the fault of exchanges if a project fails after ieo. I just think binance has already made a name for itself and so any project listed there will always pump.

Yes, that's true; this act of holding an exchange accountable if there is an exit scam in IEO is what to a great extent will keep IEOs scam free because no exchange is ready to go out of business or lose its users due to scam. Also, if an exchange poorly manages an IEO, it will only succeed in pushing investors away rather than attracting them, thus a bad business for the exchange too.
Furthermore, with this rise in IEOs, we should be wary of exchange that will promote one IEO or the other, especially exchanges which have no reputation but only coming to limelight due to IEOs.

and since launching ieo is the new hype. even new and small exchanges are now giving launchpads for ieo projects. so in the long run, this kind of crowdfunding strategy will be proliferated with scammers again!
those big exchanges will keep their standards high to secure their reputation but those substandard exchanges will accept any kind of project, as long as they are giving income to their platform....

Exchanges don't even care about IEO projects. Point is that they need money, so in each case they will list project,but they don't make deep review and that is reality!

Ieo failure has less impacts on exchanges because good projects attract good exchanges
So if you have a bad ieo, the project isn’t solid enough

Research is functional and beneficial for all

Actually I don't participate in any IEO done on mushroom exchanges without reputation.  I only participate in IEO done on reputable exchanges like Binance, Okex, Kucoin, Huobi, Gate.io . Even before participating, I don't rely on the fact that the exchange must have scrutinized the project, I do my personal research before delving in. 

That's good advice.

Exchanges were hosting IEOs in 2014, although they didn't call them IEOs back then. Some were held on reputable exchanges, but investors still lost money.

Even reputable exchanges will refuse to reimburse investor's losses. Buying into an IEO is always a gamble.

I am glad that exchanges have really taken the burden of verifying project teams authenticity. It is a sigh of relief. Now the worry belongs to the exchanges and they can easily ask for kycs with sensitive documents to protect themselves and thier communities at large from scam or any fraudulent activity that might be carried out by project developers

Kinda right it seems, binance really take their IEO seriously that they seem to choose only the best project out there, also the fact that their IEO always selling like a hot cakes is a proof that people usually favor the IEO from binance rather than other exchange,

Indeed the IEO is actually a kind of double-edged sword for the Exchange itself. If it works then people will increasingly believe, if the project fails and also the exchange will get a bad reputation. And in the end the exchange must also rethink their exchange consumer confidence.

Besides that, there are also exchanges that scam on several projects:
Read this : https://medium.com/@info_85454/idax-pro-scammed-crypto-projects-for-up-to-5-000-000-usd-c2d10a0dd14e (https://medium.com/@info_85454/idax-pro-scammed-crypto-projects-for-up-to-5-000-000-usd-c2d10a0dd14e)

Aside from the top exchanges with their own IEO platforms like Binance, kucoin, huobi and gate.io i strongly believe that the rest of the exchanges should be thoroughly scrutinized before making any form of investment in their IEO. A good example is the scam allegations that IDAX is facing in recent weeks.

I also really consider what exchanges to list the new coins for IEO process. So far, we may only be happy that the coins are listed on exchanges. However, we must be more careful in choosing IEO, which exchange they are using. Only pick the trust one and never be scammed to ignore carefully

Just like majority of the IEO investors, they also believe in Binance.
They sees the quality is more important than the volume, and because Binance were able to take care their reputation, they are not gaining the trust of the people, actually a simple research is already enough to invest in IEO, provided it's traded in the most reputable exchange in the crypto space.

We already should know the exchanges we should go for, when it comes to running or participating in IEO. IEO is now trending, so it is expected that scam exchanges will also be involved.
Take it as a duty to always make findings before participating in anyone.

I think its actually a good innovation. This will give investors a better assurance that they are in safe hands and the project they are investing in is legitimate. Even if there will still be scammers who will be able to go through IEOs scot free, the percentage will be infinitesimal

Users should only look at IEOs hosted by popular exchanges as they won't generally risk their reputation and hence do an extensive research about the project before listing.
IEOs even shows the real nature of exchanges. Look at what IDEX did it to themselves. They just destroyed their reputation which will soon destroy their business.

Most shoddy exchanges don't look at the quality of the projects before the listing, but they are more interested in the fee charge and the new users the IEO will drive to their exchange. Novice always FOMO in thinking that an exchange should be responsible to do the due diligence.  IEO will not last up to ICO time the way is being handled presently. You will see an IEO conducted on all these semi-exchanges and the price will drop up to 250% within a week, who are the sellers, the project team of course dumping the token to cash out. Any IEO that does not have minimum one year locked up period for the team and advisors, you better tie your shoes and ran very fast to safety.

Agree with your opinion.

In some cases, there are several projects that are "fooled" by an exchange (IDAX PRO in the case of Crypto Market Ads).
[Source / Reference: IDAX.pro SCAMMED crypto projects for up to 5,000,000 USD! (https://medium.com/@info_85454/idax-pro-scammed-crypto-projects-for-up-to-5-000-000-usd-c2d10a0dd14e) ]

there are also exchange those who "fake" the number of tokens sold (DCoin in the case of the MinedBlock Project).


however, both the IEO and ICO certainly have advantages and disadvantages. So, Deep Research about project that is the target of our investment should be done with more observance.

We have to thank Binance for creating a trend for the market even though it is not new at all. Other exchanges are also very successful with the IEO

I know of certain exchanges that have been tagged scam because of the kind of IEO's they conducted, while exchanges should choose carefully to get listed, they should also make certain rules strict as conditions to be met before listing and important among them is to protect the investor's interest

I agree the blame will now be on exchanges, so in case they do connivance, investors will likely transfer to other exchanges with a good reputation, it's good that we now have IEO it make things easier for the investor to invest without a need to spend time checking if the project is legit.

Binance was the first exchange to implement the IEO in 2019. But there were also many other successful IEO exchanges. Some examples are Gate ... Okex .. These 2 exchanges are also very successful with their IEO projects. The average profit is 5-10 times for each project

If the bounty really wants a successful ieo to be done and gain a lot of investment i prefer to kist the token or altcoins in top 10 exchanges because i didn't see any projects that succeeds ieo in the cheaper exchange or in exchange that has fake volume . Thats why investors are playing safe with there Money and doing investment only in good projects that list tokens in good exchange.

Such a great success is only happened because of the limited offer of the token supply. Just imagine, top exchange will sell a token to a limited quantity of individuals and then it will pump it - what could be better. Small exchanges didn't successed in IEO because they don't have such hype. But is a long term all those projects will have price problems, because of the inflation.

Sadly most exchanges have fake volumes and close to zero actual people trading. 99% of altcoins were going down to 0 anyway.

lately there are many exchanges that open IEO programs to projects that want to register but if further review there is an exchange that works with a project to attract investors by attracting successful sales or more short fake hardcap

Many people only talk about the benefits of IEO.But not so long ago there was a scandal regarding the exchange IDAX which conducted the IEO project Mycro.https://medium.com/@info_85454/idax-pro-scammed-crypto-projects-for-up-to-5-000-000-usd-c2d10a0dd14e (https://medium.com/@info_85454/idax-pro-scammed-crypto-projects-for-up-to-5-000-000-usd-c2d10a0dd14e).Do you think other exchanges are all honest with investors?I think my question is rhetorical 8)

As you can see, exchanges do not guarantee anything, they are not responsible for the further development. Only people still think that reputable exchange can´t list a scam and they are investing without any research.  :'(

Humans always like to take opportunity of everything. With the growth of IEOs it also calls for carefulness. We shouldn't be drawn by any IEO hype and fail to take note of the exchange promoting it. The truth is, most exchanges will rise to promote IEOs, but the question is; are they worthy of such attention?
In as much as we research IEOs to invest in, we should also take into account the exchange.

It's CMA and not mycro, FYI mycro never ask to create cooperation with idax and that was CMA platform that being scammed. please read the article carefully and it looks like you didn't even watch it dude.
Mycro runs its IEO on bitforex.

Exchanges are definitely in charge with the projects they are promoting and listing - that's obvious. And they understand this very well, they see the risks much better than us, believe me :)

Heh, hype which has already passed. For exchanges, this is just another way to make money; I don’t think that exchanges care about the quality of projects. Just money!

Exchange have bussiness they want to get only profit, no body care about how to save investor by scamer. in this fact exchange have to be trusting by people who have money to investing, no body care about exchange profit when become getting lose to investor.

It is  true that it has a  tremendous growth of IEOs in this days, and it might lead to a concern of the crypto users, that is both investors and and exchanges needs to be very careful in the project they accept or wishes to invest in. On the investors side due diligence should always be their watchword by making sure the team is verified and certified.

yes, for exchanges it needs kind of regulations on projects for which they will be presented as IEOs on their platform.
This is very important to gain the confidence of existing users and to attract new ones.

It's hard for us to know if the project is scam or not, the fact that it's in an exchange, the site alone already know if the project is legit or not, so let's assume that it's legit because it's in the exchange.

However, as an investor, we need to fully understand that project listed in exchange that are not performing in its early stage are not necessarily scam, they need to develop the project well to attract investors, don't believe that projects listed in Binance are successful because they rise, no... they are just hype, we don't know if they can maintain their good price in the long run.

That is why IEOs are a lot safer to invest than ICOs because there is another layer of review that is done by the exchanges. And for sure, the exchanges will not allow themselves to be used as a platform of a dubious project. A thorough review of the project as well as its potentials in the market will certainly be conducted by the team of the exchanges. The success is therefore a little higher as compared to a very open ICO market.

then I don’t understand why some projects cannot rise the softcap on a large exchange? only Binance can guarantee 100 percent fundraising

A lot of Exchange have failed to maintain the price in their IEO. Only Binance that have successfully do it 6 times.
It is because Binance gives an event after each successfull on its IEO. Or maybe they can maintain the price to keep above of IEO price. I think this is a good choice.
Also it is because Binance is a largest Exchanger with a high trading volume, so it's worth it to invest on it.

They do not care about investors and their risks. They take money from listing and profits from sold tokens. That is pure business with no warranty.

Unfortunately, today, apart from a few quality services, many services are not very optimistic about Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) projects. We can see that many scam projects are sold through Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) method, especially many poor quality services. For this reason, unfortunately, in this kind of sales services, we investors should be careful. It is very likely that Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) projects will soon lose their power in the market.

Yes, many projects that have made IEO sales in the various exchanges they choose to attract investors, but in my opinion if you want a lot of investors or interested buyers, you must do the IEO on a well-known stock exchange or top rank because there are always lots of invetsor.

The answer about Binance success in holding IEO is pretty obvious, they are the number one exchange and they don't want to tarnish their reputation, and they will continue to protect it because as long as they are accepting good projects, their platform will attract more investors and people will have high regards to their exchange, and they will continue to be a leader.

Normal thing to consider when listing or choosing up for an exchange where you should really select the top tier ones.
Its normal for people on eying those popular exchangers rather than into those who are on bottom.They do mostly get the attention
or the hype when theres an IEO project listing/sale.

Actually all projects certainly want to do that. Perform an IEO at the top exchange or large exchange. But unfortunately not all projects can do that, only projects that are truly real and good can do the IEO on a large exchange. So it's no wonder that many projects do the IEO on a mediocre exchange.

IEOs are great as it reduces the risks of fraud to the barest minimum but that doesn't mean you can't be scammed. I have seen cases of project developers eloping after IEO fund raisings or renegade on their roadmap promises. So you still have to do your own research before joining IEOs

That is why many people suggest that if you want to invest, of course choose a big exchange. Because if something like that happens (the developer runs away from the IEO proceeds) the exchange will be affected by fraud. So big exchanges certainly don't want that to happen, so they will look for really good projects to do the IEO at their exchange. And it must be remembered that all research, analysis, research are indeed important and mandatory to do if you want to invest.

Though following big exchange IEO doesn't guarantee you to not scammed since there's a few cases where the big exchange is scammed aswell by the IEO it is always better to look after the history of IEO that the exchange had hosted there, for example binance which already have some succesfull IEO or gate.io .

It's very important for every exchanges to be certain on every IEO listings, because not all coins who belong to that can be legit. Some may create hype and possible to trap more investors to loss their investments.

This new sales strategy is very effective. The IEO gives more trust than ICO to investors because there is already a clear bond between developers and exchanges to buy and sell these tokens. Especially if the IEO is done in an exchange that has a good reputation and volume. The price can increase many times. But investors must be careful, don't forget to do a deep analysis.

I agree to that, since IEO established many profits are gained by participants, the only problem Im seeing is the lack of substantial stability on how to preserve the price of the tokens but that is okay since we should always remember how volatile this market is. Just make sure to pick a good project with a realistic approach.

yeah im wonder, why all ieo from binance is always survive i mean give profit minimal x3 from IEO price.
atleast ERD make x38 roi, that was crazy when some coin just list on exchange and get pump so high like a bull run.
I wonder if binance has a role in this pump, or is it purely from demand and supply.

It all boils down to how much you trust the exchange,,, which is the main issue that people continually trust exchanges when they should not. It matters not if it is Yobit or Binance, just because an exchange says this ICO/IEO is good, does not mean you have to buy into it. Never buy a IEO that you heard of or because tokenomics looks great. Buy because you believe in the project and all the statistics like tokenomics and technology and team, around it are strong.

IEO is good but not a guaranteed that all projects that conducted IEO are trusted. Most are scams that have already dupe people and decided to try an IEO in orther to make money. we all should be careful from exchanges that conduct IEOs on regular basis with out proper verification. most exchanges has over 5 to 10 IEOs on going. it is sign that projects weren't reviewed properly.

well, I also considered that, while IEOs are now popular and many are joining them, which is worried about their exchanges, because it could happen on their exchanges when investors already believe and could endanger the IEO investors who invest with them.

Unfortunately, I believe that nothing much has changed in terms of the use of ICO or IEO by scammers. By itself, IEO certainly gives more likelihood that the project will succeed, but it does not guarantee 100% that there will be no scam or deception. Recently, there was information that the exchanges themselves where IEO was conducted were noticed in fraud. All this makes us understand that the ideal form for raising funds is either ICO or IEO and there can be problems everywhere.

a few exchanges have probably made it their life's work to rush from one IEO to the next. or even better, to offer X IEOs directly at the same time.
for me it sounds as if here again only on quantity is set instead of on quality. :(

You are absolutely correct. Totally agree with you mate. People shocked when some popular IEO scam by some shit exchange. Right now of course people believe on IEO than ICO. And of course people should check the exchange before they invest. Other wise it'll too much pain full if scammers get your money.

You can expect those big exchanges to be careful when it comes to listing because they are going to protect their reputation. Its those new exchanges that you should be worrying when it comes to listing IEO, the scam teams are willing to pay thousands just to get their projects listed doing IEO to make them look like a real project. It could either appear like the exchange were scammed or they are part of the scam.

Is it just good binance ...?
how about the IEO from Ethereum aren't they also good at developing the development process in each of their projects. in fact, ICO or the IEO will run well if the team really and sincerely runs and develops the project they are developing. so that the project can be completed and reach the sales they are targeting.

I think this IEO of a thing is making it easy for token to come out unlike before that we had a little ICO out here due to lots of scam coming from it , but the generation of ieo has made the market story change with respect to it getting listen after the ieo and for save funds regarding the investment.

The exchange should be careful in administrating projects, now that the majority of the population has put a lot of trust in IEOs rather than ICOs. IEOs can eliminate scam and dubious projects from raising funds via cryptocurrency exchange platforms, and it becomes much harder to scam contributors with IEOs. However, if by any chance the exchange has administered a project that turned out to be a scam, not only would it affect the investors, but it would put the exchange's reputation at risk. Normally people would lose their trust, spread the news of the unfortunate event and would drive people away from using the so called exchange through word of mouth.

If Exchange is good the chances of loss is very low
Although this way of fundraising sounds tempting and more secure than an ICO, there are still some questions you should ask yourself before putting your money in an IEO.
.Have you done in-depth research about the project?
.Which exchanges will participate in an IEO?
.Do you understand the KYC requirements of exchange?
.What are the available crypto payment options?
.Are you from a restricted country?
 
I have applied all this point and Found a IEO which is Suitable for these points that is Moozicore.
They have launched their App and the good thing is that We can use this App in 2 ways. Fiat or the token for payment, since logically the world isn't that far to use crypto as payment, I think still 99% will use fiat. So even that side is bound to the project but it gives customers the option to join crypto and buy MZGtoken on exchanges from selling people.

The price from the token in app is at least 0.05$ at minimum. Means if its on an exchange at 0.03$ people who buy and send it to the app can save money with it.

So 0.05$ is the ground floor for 1 token. If the price is higher, you can of course more when u send it.

The token is bound to the business. Since when the app is used, supply decreases.
[If you send the token to the app. The token is burned
If people use the fiat way, 10% of thosefiat will be send to the exchange and buy back from investors and burn those token away.The key on this.
Every signed venue on launch matters,since a new venue brings new customers forever and reflects actually on the price of MZG token unlike the common crypto projects where nothing happens to the token price.Everyone who uses the app, improves theprice automatically.

Some exchanges are made just to make some IEO or just making instant money and they don't care about their reputation, but when it comes to big exchanges which already has a really big name they sure have to review any IEO applications, that's why a big exchange like binance only have once in a month.

It is unfortunate to learn that some Exchange are partnering with scam project(s) to get listed. If there is a way to publicly mention and expose such Exchange (s), it will go a long way in avoiding them.

Many projects which already done their ICO but still not on exchange additionally want raise funds on IEO.
I am think need to be careful from this movements

This is oje of the advantages of IEO over ICO, at least the scrutiny should not only be about the individual investor but the exchange that lists the project, Currently I know that Binance does some background check and their are certain requirements to be be fulfilled before listing on their exchange. Even though this will not totally eradicate scam and fake projects but it will reduce it to the minimum compared to ICO's

Really if this is true then everyone will be just maxing out Binance launchpad ieos. I don't think it's true. Many people manipulate the profit margins of IEO/ICO coins by showing the ICO price to be so cheap, but this is only after applying the maximum bonus amounts like from private sales. Average ICO investors pay a lot more than what statistics show as ICO price.

it seems that all IEOs are not entirely safe if you want to invest in the IEO, it is better to keep money management or follow the IEO in a large exchange and have a good reputation, or exchange that occupies 1-40 in cmc.  every scammer would want to take advantage of some small exchange or that has a small volume

This is why we as investors should never allow FOMO or greed to cloud our judgement, when you do not trust an exchange, never participate in any IEO on it, infact never invest in an IEO if it's not hosted on one of the top trusted and established exchanges, they have a reputation to uphold and would always be fair.

This tarnished our decision making. We have launched our IEO today on P2Pb2b. As an exchange we found their due diligence process to be much higher in standards in comparison to such exchanges as Dcoin. But still we entrust that as a regulated space there's no such thing as a "scammy" exchange?!

My method is quite simple in choosing an exchange to join the IEO program. My criteria for choosing an exchange is that the exchange must have a large volume besides the responsibility and security of the exchange. by relying on the criteria for me it was enough to say that the exchange was feasible to be used as a means of joining the IEO.

Profit is all that exchange wants, no body care about how to save investor by scamer. in this fact exchange have to be trusting by people who have money to investing, no body care about exchange profit when become getting lose to investor. and so we must also to be careful for our own good.

I don't know exactly how the IEO agreement was carried out by both parties (projects and exchanges).
If my analysis is correct that the exchange party acts as an escrow and releases investor funds to the project party after reaching the trading phase (according to the roadmap) or other phase at a safe point, so I think that is good.

that's true and the fact so many small exchange sites are listing crap ICOs. The only way to do the best for us to avoid the suspicious and unpopular exchange site because so many icos were listed on the are totally scam or not having a strong team.

I heard idax exchange scammed over 5 different projects off their IEO funds .. I think this form of funds raiser is dead on arrival

Yes I heard about how cruel idax exchange has been to many IEO projects and even latoken,these exchanges should be on watch before they keep scamming other upcoming projects as well

Some exchanges do not care about reputation. They just keep listing and doing more IEOs without any scrutiny. The fact of the matter is that those exchanges are concerned with the amount of money they take than thinking about the quality of the project they are about doing the IEO for.

Good exchanges are very careful about their reputation. Because a good IEO can improve the exchange's reputation but a bad project can harm too. I remembered about the first IEO project on Bittrex! Though later Bittrex rejected that project, but still I couldn't push myself to join in Bittrex IEO, I mean I don't have courage about Bittrex because of that bad project that got accepted by the Bittrex IEO! Most of the exchanges IEO are becoming failed or they are showing the false raise. Recently IDA, Dcoin did it. So, not only exchange, every crypto investors should be careful about low-class exchange IEO, personally, I like to avoid them!
