The Impacts of IEOs on the crypto-ecosystem

[MI6]

Its an important issue you've raised. Crypto is a new economic frontier and there had been new experiments every time.
But with IEO, failure of them would also affect the exchanges, their credibility and trust. Though exchanges do make sure to state they are not involved and risk remains about investment, people would not view it as so.

Exactly..From last year till this year exchanges looked like the only thing that was working In crypto..With some becoming highly reputable and attracting interest from all over the world. I just hope this trend won't end badly with scammers infiltrating the IEO system as a result of these exchange not doing enough to safeguard the interest of IEO participants both during and after the sales event..

I think majority of you guys speaking bad about IEO are only doing so because u failed to buy. There is nothing wrong with IEO and this mechanisms of fund raiser has come to stay.

IEO really always closed in very short time  . Actually there is no need for people to speak bad about IEO if only because of that reason. After listed on exchanger we still have chance to trade it right?

IEOs are having a great influence on the whole industry. It has shown that people want to invest in crypto currencies, they just need a more secured way of doing it. But you are right about the mechanism, it should be done in a better way, so everybody would get a chance.

[Sir Legend]

Yobit is one of the exchanges that do an IEO in the past, and they are still doing it now, but Yobit has a bad reputation and so are those projects that they do an IEO, this is thr latest craze in crowdfunding, until now I haven't saw a failed IEO, they are performing well in the market.

This is where those who invest in IEO need to be careful. Not all is worth investing in, just like it happens to other forms of investments.
It is good we already have exchanges who would not want to taint their image and will be careful of the project that comes to their platform.

Agree, although many IEOs are successful and sold out but this does not guarantee that other projects can also be successful, there are many factors that can make a successful IEO project and of course the capital strength of devs. is an important control.

[ariyzt]

Agree with your opinion number 2
With IEO , team and developer just focus on market only. when their IEO success and its gone , they don't care about the project, as long their coin listing on exchange then its done. the new coin/token just about profit and listing market. Project will no longer be developer and team priority

[Osaremien]

It just makes sure the ICO that we used to have has been vetted by the exchange as well, it just drops one aspect of the research. We always invested ICO's and hoped that it would be listed on a good exchange, now with thanks to IEO we know that it will be listed there sooner rather than later, some IEO get listed right after the IEO is done, some a bit later but all of them will be listed eventually.

Knowing that gives a breathing room for investors and they know that what they funded will open to trading soon and thanks to that they will probably not lose too much money. Whatever enters the trading realm on exchange usually drops a bit first (the initial dumpers) but usually recovers after couple of weeks and IEO makes sure that period is over with quickly.

The one critical question that need to be asked is ‘is crypto all about exchange listings’ since this is what most investors are afraid of with Ico’s.....Well due to the fact that most projects Ceo’s are no where to be trusted with investors funds as most have shown in recent past about eloping with funds meant for project development which tends to derail the issue of project development thereby stalling the one major problem we are facing in the crypto world which is mass adoption

[airdropan]

There is 2 side for this IEO.
the good side is the IEO system can minimalize scamming and fraud from developer and team
and the bad news like you said on first page . i'm not agree at all but for first thing it can be manipulate by whale (Actually it just happend on bittrex) while binance and another still make limit for user to buy IEO

[No Pain No blood]

if we talk about the long-term impact it is clear that this can affect the crypto marketcap because there are many new investors who buy. IEO is becoming popular now like ico in 2017. That year we can see ATH. if this is according to my predictions, we will once again see a big pump next year.

[coinplus]

For now I don't see much impact that IEO has to make in the crypto space, since it's just a safer method of collecting funds for start up, I think the price of this coins in the market will still have to be determined not by the amount of funds they raised or the amount of investors who made purchase of the IEO but what the project have to deliver to a common investor who is not so familiar about the blockchain.

The only good impact I know that the IEO market makes is that it is controlled by exchanges thereby building trust around.

[sandra_x]

The no.2 point seem to be the most disturbing at the moment. If we want a truly decentralized ecosystem, them IEO are not the best option,Binance require purchasers to have at least 100 BNB before they can participate in its launch pad.that effectively cuts off the poor.There need to be a review if we are to have a healthier ecosystem

[upsidedown75]

Now I see sense in why most of these IEO projects gets sold out easily, they don’t really value low investors, and that is why Binance could even go to the extent of placing minimum buy of $1600 on IEO project, how will whales not control the market, when they are the ones given chances to them, if they give chance to all whales alone, then let us see who the whales will manipulate, probably they will start manipulating themselves including the so call exchange and not the innocent investors.

Several times I have also made people understand that for the fact that the project is an IEO doesn’t guarantee that it still cannot be dumped too. We really need more than IEO to solve all these challenges in crypto.

[miklesm]

Completely agree with you. IEO at the moment is just a hype which allows some lucky people to earn easy money. The only thing the project gets with IEO is a listing on a famous exchange - no real community which will support it in the future.

IEOs are a good choice for earning in a short time. Because, as time goes by, coins sold in IEO will return to the price it is worthy of. Binance's good vision is the reason that triggers all those.

[dimastegar]

IEO is a fast way to get a coin ICO that sells coins or tokens through an exchanger. And in its implementation, the IEO can end success and failure depending on the interests of the buyer. If an Exchanger has large volumes such as Binance and Kucoin, then there can be a lot of buyer interest in the IEO. The negative effect, maybe buyers do not know what projects they buy coins.

Yes, the IEO does not sell the project, but the IEO directly sells their Tokens on the market, and this IEO will grow even if it is in a large exchange like Binance, because many IEOs are successful from the Binance exchange.

Perhaps investor dont know much about the project but reputable exchanger already research about the project. Big exchanger like binance must be wont put their reputation on bad project and thats why IEOs held by binance always sold out in just a second

Not only Binance gain success on IEO, Kucoin, Bittrex and Huobi gain success launching their IEO. I think IEO will change the game and replace ICOs in near future. It will attract more investor because IEO promising big profits after start traded in market.

[Papcio77]

IEO is a new trend this day after ico lossing its hype. IEO is a great things come to us since it really give profit for everyone who bought the coin before the day of trading. Its really profitable since people are seeing profit and not selling below the token sale. And what more is IEO was supported by exchanges so less risk than giving your money in very anonymous transaction

[nreal]

I think, IEO does not bring sustainable development for Cryptocurrency, It's just a games of whale, exchanges ... Most people who participate in this game will be badly damaged.

[igor.vanyutin.83]

I agree that mechanism should be changed, because it has become impossible to take part in an IEO. People are using scripts and multiple accounts that are able to buy tokens within seconds. I think Binance and Huobi are working on making it better now.

[zuziekatee]

I agree completely with this school of thought. Today CZ of binance was ranting over fake volume on exchanges.  This exchanges are doing everything possible to attract investors to their IEO at all costs. Transparency and accountability is completely lacking in this IEO mechanism and this will negatively impact the crypto ecosystem if it continues like this..
