What is a big difference between ICO and IEO?

[Initech]

The biggest difference at all is that crypto has become a cash grabber. Both are just scams made to grab money from others without any effort (and without any working utility after all). The initial idea of crypto currency was distorted, and now, is rare to see an announcement of something that doesn't have a premine, a dev fee, a reward for the founders, or anything like that, created to make an easy profit for whoever is behind it.

A crypto currency must be community driven, not centralized around a team that use its creation to self fund themselves from a "forced" way. If it's good enough, people will voluntarely fund it by donations. ICOs are just very specific ideas with no utility (and most of them with no working product at all), made to make a fast buck to their owners (which are also the, kek, coin or token issuers most of the time).

A crypto exchange is intended to make profits by charging a really small fee on trades, not charging listing fees (which also are inducing most of the projects today to have such bullshits like premines and dev fees), nor by offering their own useless tokens in those IEOs.

That's not what crypto was made for.

the biggest difference might be in terms of supervision. if in ico there is no one who verifies the project who wants to sell the token, on the contrary with the new project IEO who wants to do the sale of the token it must first verify. exchange acts as a mediator to supervise new projects that want to seek funding.

The biggest difference between IEO and ICO is the place of sale. If the ICO is held on the ICO website, then it is not with the IEO. The IEO sells it on the Exchanger website. And the IEO coin will be directly on the listing after the sale is complete. Unlike ICO, which sometimes delays the listing time.

I don't think there is a big difference
For IEO

• Fraud will be slightly reduced in the IEO because every project in the IEO will definitely be investigated in advance by the exchange
• The targeted funds will not be too large because there are no marketing costs, only the cost of holding an IEO at the exchange

For ICO

• There will be a lot of fraud because anyone is free to make an ICO project using fake data
• Targeted funds will be very large, because fraudsters want to get as much money, but the reason is to cover marketing costs

What is a big difference between ICO (Initial Coin Offering) and IEO (Initial Exchange Offering)?

the main difference between ICO and IEO is the 3rd party involving between the investors and ICO company.
IEO is running in the exchange, as a 3rd party connecting between investors and the ICO.
It is just like using escrow to transact between 2 sides.

[asbak66]

The difference is ICO run on their on  platform or website. Usually they are doing crowdfunding from people and investor to get money  for running their project
And for IEO is slightly same with ICO, the difference is they are doing token sale directly on exchange like nowadays.
Just like in Binance, Huobi etc to make fomo, easier for developer to sell their token to get fund.

[ExFrozze]

the difference between ICO and IEO lies in the level of buyer participation, I see and continue to observe that IEO is the first choice in selling tokens, recently I bought OATH at lbank and MultiVAC in kukoin which only took a few seconds to sell tokens, and also the profit can be very large

[Golstrim]

IEOs can also be a scam. Just remember raid on bittrex. This exchange didn't make due diligence and raid resulted to be a scam!
So each ieo can be shady, but risks are lower compared to ICO, because listing process takes less time

[zulfi125]

As the ICO's was token sale launched by companies and we can't confirm about trusted ICO's and IEO token sale is launched launched by exchanges that are trusted token sale and most of well know exchanges. 

[Mythodea]

I think that another difference between ICO and IEO is that through IEO you have the ability to become a shareholder of the exchange that is launching the IEO, at least that is mentioned on the IEO of Venethor Coin that will be launched tomorrow on Cryptoplanex Exchange.
They claim that the 50 first investors of the IEO for every 100,000 coins at 2000 sat will get the 1% of Cryptoplanex.

[Wittny]

No much difference between IEO and ICO, the only different is ICO always have a fixed time of running but IEO doesn't have any fixed time as all the coin can be bought within seconds on exchange.

[r1a2y3m4]

I think the biggest difference is the scam, Scam is the biggest problem ICO faces but with the IEO it is no longer a big deal.

Best thing to do in here is to keep on searching about those projects. They could form as a scam, we don't know what will truly happen.

The biggest difference in ICO and IEO are:

ICO                                                                           

• Initial Coin Offering
• They are being hosted on their own site.

IEO

• Initial Exchange Offering
• Hosted on a exchange platform.

Biggest different is security of invested initial fund. If you invest on ICO's there is very less chance to get back your capital. But if you invest on IEO then you can expect your fund will not lose totally. Because IEO obviously will listed by exchange and you will able to take out your fund. But problem is if dump after listed on exchange. Some peoples losing fund after buy on exchange. So we should not much greedy about IEO. Especially I am not going to buy after listed if I am unable to buy on IEO.   

[reynald70]

No much difference between IEO and ICO, the only different is ICO always have a fixed time of running but IEO doesn't have any fixed time as all the coin can be bought within seconds on exchange.

True, the IEO and ICO have very different sales levels, I prefer the IEO because it is safer in sales, especially the IEO in Binance's market, it will always sell well. Even sales only take a few seconds.

[Flezy]

First, IEO as the name goes are being managed by an exchange while ICOs are being managed by the team hosting the project. Secondly, there could be little or no scam in IEOs but same can't be said of ICOs. In IEOs the team are verified  unlike in ICOs.

[Wale777]

There are many differences between ICO and IEO, the former is selling of coins by the project team and investors waiting for a particular to get the tokens and also waiting for it to be listed to be tradeable ,also it's kyc is handled by the team or hired organ while the latter is more credible and reliable because its done by the exchange which have name to protect so you don't have to worry about security of your documents for kyc ,also you get your tokens bought in your exchange wallet instantly annd it is certain its going to be traded on the same exchange so there is no uncertainty about it being tradeable later or not

[axel2078]

IEO stands for Initial Exchange Offering while ICO stands for Initial Coin Offering. IEOs are managed by a chosen exchange but before the exchange accepts, a good investigation will be done on the team to know who they are and if their intention is clear. So the idea is, with IEO scams are meant to reduce which is the big difference between IEO and ICO.

[rdewilde]

The big difference is the reduction or elimination of scam. That is, everyone in the crypto sphere knows how most ICOs scams their investors, but same won't likely be said about IEOs as before the kick off, due diligence must have been done to ensure investors within that exchange are protected.

[xclusiveguy]

IEO and ICO are two different things entirely one is mainly  doing it's sales on an exchange while ico is doing it's sales on their site,  both are just way of getting quick money from investors

What is a big difference between ICO (Initial Coin Offering) and IEO (Initial Exchange Offering)?

Yes, it is true that ICO is currently in a very difficult time with a crisis of trust from all investors or everyone, so trust will be very difficult to rebuild in a very short time, hopefully all can choose which is good by doing analysis but sometimes analysis will be very useless when data can be easily manipulated.
The IEO is a very good solution for me personally because the IEO can be managed by very well-known exchanges such as Binance to anticipate fraud so the best exchange will explain everything with the funds they have collected for the IEO, I hope this is a solution to reduce fraud.
