BEWARE OF IEO

[aditasetia123]

An ICO is much more risky than an IEO, as the projects are being verified by exchanges, too, before starting the IEO.

Or, big exchanges will never risk their reputation to allow bad projects on their platform.

exchanges also bet their reputation if their IEO failed and could not give investors profits.but so far IEO many times give investors alot of profits moreover IEO on binance, okex and huobi.

To be honest, the combination of ICO and big exchange is really huge. That's why IEO is really popular on big exchange and sold out fast but when it listed on small exchange, the sell is low and not even sold out.

IEO is not 100% safe i agree, so i hope there is no problem on IEO in the future.

even developers team launched their crowdfunding in IEO , i think there is still possibility tobe scam.maybe not in early stages, but after few months we have to keep update from developers team.exit scam after listing in exchanges still possible to happen.

I guess so when the IEO become popular, and many projects follow the previous projects, that will be a good time to start to be a scam project like we saw in the ICO. Now they need to convince the investor that IEO is the new solution to make money from cryptocurrency and I am sure that they will use many ways to show how good are the IEO. So if you want to invest in the IEO, make sure you prepare for the worst and always research before invest.

Since, we already know every possible ways scammers can use in taken advantage of the IEO platform, we need to also help ourselves by not fallen victim of the scam. Now, we don’t have to go through the hurdles of having to do thorough research on every project again by simply going for IEO projects through a very reputable exchange’s.

Binance started this IEO platform first and we already know how well Binance has been performing, they have already blocked every loop holes that the scammers might take advantage of on their own platform, and the only safety they can guarantee are that of its users and those participating in any IEO project they approve.

As the author said we must be careful what we are investing in. Dot get so closer to hype before you do your own research. Do not be so greedy otherwise you can loose a lot like any of the ICO.

IEOs are a great opportunity to raise money on the falling market, because they are representing a very strong trend at the moment. Moreover, it gives a guarantee that those tokens that were sold are going to be listed on an exchange directly.

Absolutely correct, IEO means creating the positive purchaption in the investors mind and another thing is it's best way to huge funding collect to showing big exchange. And it's a big hype against ICO at the moment.

[tondenga2122]

I think that doing crowdfunding through ICO is more dangerous than IEO.
In IEO, they have a third party (Exchanger) who manages the fund. So, the developer and the team cannot commit fraud easily.
And also the developer and the team need to pay a large fee to list it on their Exchange.

[Ifychuks]

I guess it is time for people to wake up to the reality that IEO is no better than ICO,some seeing IEO as a better option to ICO but like you rightly said,it can be more dangerous,it is just another way to scam people and it will surely get worst very soon.

It's really a big way to scam people. Many are rushing into it now because of some success IEO has recorded not knowing that anything good can also be manipulated by some dubious individuals.

[Wittny]

People currently looking at IEO like the new savior after ICO had failed many, but in my own view, I don't see IEO better than ICO, ICO was also amazing when it was first Introduced years ago.

But it will benefit the project team not the investors.So if anyone want to invest on IEO's just reconsider about it.

The most dangerous thing in life is not to be able to see ahead of time,if you can't see ahead of time,you will always be cut up in the mist.So many are tired of ICO,as a matter of fact, ICO is almost dead,then came IEO presenting itself as a saviour of those investors that have suffered as a result of ICO,looking so tempting because some big exchange are backing it up,but i tell you,it can be more dangerous than ICO if you are not smart enough,atleast in the case of ICO,if price dump,it will dump on everyone,meaning there were some level of transparency,but for IEO especially with the big exchanges,the only thing we get to hear is that,it was sold out in seconds thereby creating an atmosphere that will make everyone to be looking forward to buy the moment it hit exchange,and the selected set of whales (hmmmm),who are already holding on to the coins are also ready to dump on people at a ridiculous price at exchange,after dumping it on people,then come a dump in price because the coin itself does not worth the price in the first instance,but because so much hype has been created in order to enrich themselves.I hope someone will wake up and not be cut up in the pool of loss.
   My candid advice,if you can't get it at IEO,don't be fool to buy at a ridiculous price the moment is listed. The rich are getting richer,don't be trapped.All the best.

I haven't thought of this possible scenario once IEO replaces ICO. This is really alarming that it is possible that whales or even the exchange it self would buy the coins for them to set a price in the market. By declaring it sold-out, this would most likely create a hype and thosw who were late to buy during IEO would do panic buying.

Yes, everyone thinks that the IEO is perfect and will not be a problem because it is already available in exchange, this can be used by scammers to cheat more than ICO.

But for this year the IEO is better than the ICO because it is clear that if the sale is finished, they will be listed on the stock exchange, they will do the IEO, so it is the target of remembering investors to quickly enter the exchange.

I can't judge it already on whether it's bad to invest in IEO or not but I guess it's too early to say that it's a trap. Maybe a further understanding on what this new trend can bring to the table rather than throwing it away without giving the benefits of the doubt.

There are risks in any kind of investment, since the environment itself is attractive to scammers. And in this case, success is formed from experience, care and trust, which is a priority for IEO to attract investors. But caution does not hurt.

[OrangeSeller]

IEO is another gimmick for fundraising and now the exchanges want to make the big money. You can play the hype but beyond that, don't know. Will just end up like ICOs one day.

I guess too, IEO is just another term for ICO just so happen that it will occur on exchange. Nonetheless, the process is the same as ICO. Concluding that in the future days IEO will just become another version of ICO, full of frauds full of scams fueled by greedy investors.

Not at all. ICOs and IEOs are very different things. People might call it the old wine in a labeled bottle but the case is very different and it is in fact a new form of raising funds for the startups who can feel that it is different from ICOs in many respect like the time for fund raising, the security and the marketing thing being done by the platform and many other things. You need to check the details.

Indeed, every investment we made, there is always a risk. Investing in IEO give certainty in listing in exchanger and not waiting too long like when we invest in ICOs. But i think many ICOs are profitable and have a chance to success when start listed in exchanger

-Snip-

Wow, you literally finished that long remarks of you in 6 sentences
ICO, IEO, ITO all of these initial offerings have risk. If you wanted to have a lesser risk on investing in these, you should be doing your own research in order for you not to get scammed by these. The real title in this thread should be, beware on investing, DYOR.

[nutriagrigia]

I think ICO, IEO or STO are all the good and are all the bad at the same time. Their goodness and badness is determined by a project launching them. If a project has genuine purpose and good, it will launch a good ICO, IEO or STO. So what we should focus on finding out whether we are investing in a good project or not. So the tree all ICO, IEO or STO are means of fund-raising to support a project financially.

These IEO require the same serious study as ICO projects before investing in them. Exchange can't guarantee you the success of the project in which you invest

[CryptoIyke]

It baffles me how ICO's tend not to be a popular term these days unlike some mothers or years ago, currently some bounties and projects advice their participants and promoters not to mention anything regarding to ICO when mentioning them. However ICO's lasted longer and made some profits for a lot of persons, but I don't think IEO's will last a real reasonable duration, people are more wary

[pungopete468]

Must be vigilant and also not arbitrary in following the IEO. If possible, we will follow the IEO, which has previously done the IEO and succeeded. or follow those who have a pretty good exchange trust like Houbi or Binance. avoid any loss later
