Why IEOs Came Into Existence?

[ariyzt]

the only big exchange that success to held IEOs just come from binance and huobi only
the other still on progress and look at bittrex , their IEOs not success and the price went down after release on market

[Bttzed03]

of course. it is obvious. The exchanges have invented this method of raising funds in order to earn good money themselves, because people buy stock exchange tokens. It's all scam

Yes, as I have mentioned all these were done by exchanges to fill their pocket since they can see a high demand. I'm not sure if that can be called a scam yet unless they charge exorbitant fees. I'm also not sure anymore if they were really concerned with the crypto community.

I think IEOs have proven to be a wave of fresh air for ico market and we have seen boost in trust among investors especially for the projects listed on big exchange platforms and its impact has been positive for overall crypto market as well which is showing really nice growth now.

People are scared of investing into ICO directly again, most of the ICOs in 2018 struggle to get exchange listings and when they do some on exchanges with little volume and when private sale and pre-ICO investors starts selling the price crash  below ICO price and remaining this way for long, Eden and Tolar are two good example but IEO came with solution to exchange listings and provide initial liquidity in their exchange for some months before the lock tokens are released because this is the main issue long term, how the price would perform when all the locked tokens are released to the market

[rosezionjohn]

These guys running IEOs are business people. If they see an opportunity to earn big, they will pounce on that. They only needed to provide the platform and it's profit time. The method is still popular and some would still rush to these exchanges and fight for a place in the IEOs. Let's wait and see once the hype dies down and the price starts falling also.

[Ultimist]

It's a natural process. ICO ceased to be relevant and they do not enjoy such success as before. So now there is something new, ready to replace the ICO and improve it.

[blokklanc]

Of course, everything is about $. In 2017 there was a boom in ICOs and that was a fuel for ETH as most of them were on it`s platform.
Binance was aware of that and they introduced their launchpad and they also want their piece of the crowdfunding cake.

Yes, I am very concerned about the ICO now, because most projects always fail in exchange, and the same reason they complain that Bitcoin prices are declining, so their projects die, obviously this is a loss for investors who have bought at ICO prices, and still there are many more ICO stories that are very sad, for example, a project takes away Investor's money or Scam. So, in my opinion, the current IEO will be safer for investors, very different from ICO.

[jvper]

Have you ever thought of this before?

When I first heard of IEOs from smaller exchanges, I thought they were simply catering to one of the demands of ICO investors which is immediate exchange listing.

Then came the bigger centralized exchanges like Binance, Bittrex, and Kucoin. It somehow made me wonder why would they open up their platform to crowdfunding. Maybe because they also think that the ICO market is dying? If so, then that would mean less new projects. With less new projects, less potential source of income (listing fees). 

So in the end, it is still all about the $$$. These exchange are probably afraid of losing one of their major source of income 


What's your take on this?

Of course, exchanges do this becuase they want to make money. And customers want protection, just like they did in the past at the era of so called escrows in ICOs.

I agree with you . The IEO is the best solution for this market and greatly reduces risks for investors. According to my assessment, 96% of ICO projects are fraudulent and this causes a great loss for many investors. I think the IEO is being considered a new trend of this market because it is a very popular investment channel in recent months and many projects have brought a huge profit for those who are lucky to join.

[Red-Apple]

it is not just exchanges it is the ICO scammers who could no longer scam people by running the same old thing over and over again so they had to change their methods and adding that centralization of exchanges is currently like the (fake) stamp of approval that gives some newbies that confidence they need to throw their money away. and in the middle of this chaos the exchanges are making a ton of money by getting paid to advertise these scams (give the stamp of approval) while not being liable for anything!
this method will also soon die just like any other previous scammy methods have died.

no they are not . ieo's are backed by legit and big/famous exchanges  ( binance for example have thier own ieo )  so how can you say that they came from a scam ico's ?  the reason why ieo's exist is because they see that people are suffering from the frauds/scam ico's . they want to do something to save people from wasting their cash on these  greedy people  . yet  , there are still legit ico's out there but they are now harder to find .

this method will also soon die just like any other previous scammy methods have died.

did the ico died ? no right ? ico's are still here even though most of them are just plain scams  .  ieo's on a nutshell are more legit since they are came from centralized exchange  .  they wont die as long as there are still crypto   .

They came into existence because exchange thinks that they are going to make a huge profit here, Yobit is also doing that they invite ICO to use their platform to launch their crowdfunding and they charge a huge fee to ICO, so there is huge money to be made for exchanges.

[xabre]

I love IEO because will give competitor for ICO to grow up and have best solution for the future how to have higher price after listing in exchange market and could be more profitable for investor.

[Vaskiy]

It is all about reaching the investors with ease. A project becomes more successful when it easily gets the investors. For the same earlier it was ico and now exchanges have come up with the plans of IEO. Till date very few launch were done through top exchanges, can expect more to happen in the coming days as IEO keeps gaining more attention.

Oh, 96% seems too terrible.
IEO is a logical evolutionary transition from ICO. This is a kind of IPO on the stock market. In this case, the exchange takes responsibility for its reputation for checking the project.

[mrdeposit]

If you gain at the ICO, exchanges also gain. Consider about earnings that come from big volumes.
Also consider binance : big profit, price increase in bnb.

[Petchant]

The reason why IEO came into existence is because of the anomalies of ICO which makes it not enticing to invest in them again but with IEO, investors are sure of liquidity for their investments instant which is the bane of many ico projects

[isen]

The market needed a stable platform for ICOs, and it appeared even in several copies in the form of cryptocurrency exchanges. I am very happy about this.

[ronwewee]

Because they are the answer on how to gain back the confidence of the investors in the crypto space.
With the advent of IEO, investors feel safer with investing, although the number of projects that has come into existence is now limited but we can ensure that majority of them are good projects. I believe we quality projects more than quantity alone.

It just came into my mind right now, so, my question sir, is the IEO's the reason why we are experiencing a bullish move from bitcoin right now? Or maybe, it contribute to the factor that it is? Then how long will IEO's going to dominate the market because I am thinking about bitcoin reaching its ATH really soon.
