IEO can be a safer investment option than ICO

[Ucy]

This's like saying that the banks are safer for storing fiat than holding crypto in storage device you control . Well, you may be right depending on the context.

A lot of bad things could happen to banks in the long run.  They could freeze your account, create difficult terms of service, monitor you, tell you what or what not to spend your money on.  Anything could happen If all this powers get into the wrong hands .
Same is applicable to ICO and IEO

IEO is do a safer format of fundraising than ICO in case it is held on the famous Exchange like Binance or Huobi. You can be sure your funds will be safe there.

I believe it, if an IEO running in the famous exchange, people will not argue to buy it, then the rest all depends on the project. On what's the project based and what product that they will present. Because holding an IEO in such a place also requires substantial costs, so it's clearly not a bad project.

For me, the IEOs organized by the top exchanges are a safer investment option than ICO. After IEO became popular, many new  exchanges began to organize IEO. I think we should research and be careful about those exchanges before joining these IEOs.

With IEO, investors are better protected from scam. One of the main drawbacks of ICO was that potential investors could not always understand which project would be better to prefer. Often, token sale carried fraudsters who collected money and disappeared without a trace with them. In the case of IEO, projects undergo a tough moderation by the crypto exchange. Thus, the site confirms that it is not a scam.

You're partially right because an IEO been run on famous exchange site doesn't mean the project owners wont end up scamming their investors and only an inexperience crypto investors will fall for such hype of using famous exchange. However, I still prefer STO than IEOs but it better to always seek advice from experienced people of this forum before invest into any IEO.

Well, truly they can be safer and secured for investors to put there funds into, but not all are safe. Most of the times, we feel safe, because they are held on reputable exchanges.
Despite that, some exchanges have disappointed. The disappointment is not only on investors, but also to project team.

I grew with you, IEOs seems to be better options now as participating in public sale is now made easier and scam free. Also, taking the exchanges into consideration, exchanges can only verify the team while investors are left to know if the project is worthwhile or not. However, most IEOs in major exchanges were successful thus giving more preference to IEOs than ICOs.

Although there have been reported issues on scam ICOs, IEOs do not guarantee the authenticity of a project. IEO is just a revolutionary way of rendering sales to investors in a smooth, secured and fast way. However, the team behind the IEO may have their own intentions which can be either good or bad. It is always good to DYOR before joining an IEO.

I agree, the main key before investing is doing research on the project itself. The IEO is a new form of ICO that aims to collect funds by selling tokens. In the end a project depends on the team behind a project and by doing research on the team, we know how far the project can work

[Godstrength]

I agree with the OP, people generally prefer IEO's now instead of an ICO because it provides security and an assurance that you'll get something from your investment compared to the traditional ICO that will grant you your tokens with whatever date they promised. Only issue I saw with IEO's is that they have some kind of a risk and some campaigns requires you to atleast have $2,000 to participate, in which not all can afford. This new thing that is MTO, (which they say is the evolved IEO) can get you a maximum ROI of thousands and get qualified to the next round if not selected as a winner. plus cheaper

I am agree with Binance and Kucoin, but Bittrex ?? Are you sure ??.
As i know Bittrex is a big exchange but when IEO war started the first time IEO in Bittrex is fail.
Bittrex now become a mid exchange, not a big anymore.

[novaprime]

IEO become safety than ICOs but we have always protect our money with investing on IEO listed with higher exchange market like binance, bittrex or best exchange market.

I also often choose reputable exchanges to join the IEO because most exchanges with great liquidity always have a lot of quality and easy IEOs that can earn high profits if you're lucky enough to be involved. I have participated in many great IEOs and perhaps Huobi is the exchange that made me the biggest profit ever. Hopefully other exchanges in the near future can be similar to Huobi and Binance because the more IEOs the higher the profits will be.

The IEO held by a large binary or huobi exchanger always gives a big profits to investors. This is what makes investors prefer the IEO than ICO. ICO does not guarantee that will listings on large exchanger, while the IEO held by binance always reach sales target within minutes

[akitha]

It's bit safer but its better than ICO.. It just because this IEO is already in the exchange and you can start trading, and also you can get a profit even just a little as long as you are not trap, unlike ICO you have to wait until they list in the exchange

[zaxifu]

IEO — much like ICO — facilitates the issuance and sale of tokens in order to seek funding for a project. As opposed to Initial Coin Offering, however, IEOs allow only the verified users of host exchanges to purchase said tokens. IEOs does not include a public issuance aspect where funds are sent to a project wallet the way it happens with ICOs. This difference alone makes IEOs considerably safer as investment opportunities.

Such IEO are growing in this time like moozicore. Moozicore is revolutionary Background Music Service for Businesses.

That is true that IEO can be a safer investment option than ICO .
Because, IEO is more trusted than ICO.

If it is true that the IEO is like what has happened, there is no harm in making a gradual transition and seeing the development of the ICO, can the ICO still be trusted and no longer many do scam?

our orientation must be on the project, don't look at the ICO or IEO. because what happens now is a good project, it will still get support from investors. investors are now getting smarter in choosing mature projects.

I should remind you that the exchange site will offer a cooperation with good project only and exchange site already made a team that has a purpose to audit any ico and i never worry about the credibility of the project.

[Inosend]

I would say it's safer than ICO in all ramifications. It's safer when the right exchange is used. Some exchange IEO can be the worst choice both a project and investors can make. There are IEOs which are bad

[dearbesz1219]

I agree that it is safer way how to invest into crypto start-ups. But, look at this post that was created today: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5166856.msg51877961#msg51877961 .
It shows that the biggest IEOs on Binance and Bittrex were not profitable either.

Hello Everyone,

There's so many users on this forum who take ICO investment as a earning source and honestly its never been so easy to make handsome profits from every ICO projects. As we all know that recently ICO scam has been a common issue where in every week scam accusation section getting crowded with these ICO scam related thread.   

Investment safety is the most important thing for a investor. Everyone will be glad to know worldwide crypto exchanges have started IEO system for upcoming crypto projects where I think its a safer investment way for a crypto investor. Recently some famous exchanges are running this Initial Exchange Offering and they are;

1. Binance 
2. Bittrex 
3. kucoin 

As a crypto investor I personally believe that this system is pretty much safer than ICO. Basically investors had to think about a lot of things before putting their fund on a ICO project such as research whitepaper, project Accuracy, team members and many more. In case if a project can't be able to be listed on exchanges then its another big problem for the investor. But this new IEO system has made this easier for investors IMO. Where recent Binance launchpad Projects gain 10x price from the starting price.


I am not encouraging you guys to make IEO investment but just trying to show a safer way where there is lower chance to be scammed.

There will be some exchanges that will do their own IEO and this is something to watch out for, only participate in a reputable exchange for IEO, they will not let the dubious project to use their platform to scam people, so you are  guaranty of success.

You forgot to include my favourite IEO platform.. gate.io
I love the fact that they make their tokensales inclusive for everybody, there is no lottery or anything like that, everybody can just keep pledging till the allocated time ends, sometimes you see projects raising x20 over the hardcap and the tokens would be distributed to investors no matter how small.
