6 Reasons why IEO is better than ICO

[CoinChili]

I was very much interested in investing to such IEO. Thus, made me the urged to browse the internet and found some compelling informations. I found it very informative for some members here like me who are disoriented between IEO and ICO.

Here is the infographic that is worth to share.

It's better if you read the whole article to enlighten your confusions about Initial Exchange Offering (IEO).

There is no question that ICO projects and them subsequently either becoming big failures or runaway scams...there are estimates that more than 90% of the projects on this platform eventually went to nothing leaving many investors and supporters nothing but empty bags. We must have something that can work well for both investors and project proponents and IEO can be a good alternative where we don't have to worry anymore whether the project can reach the exchange because it is done right there in the exchange...for me this can minimize risks though of course since this is business nothing can guarantee that a token/coin value will not depreciate after the said crowdsale. The idea here is to protect the interest of the investing public and have the team behind the project have access to their funds.

[coin-investor]

80%?? You should correct it and make it 90% I based it on my portfolio and from friends who are all actively investing and promoting in ICO's if we can prove that those coins who will hold  their crowdfunding in your exchange are going to make investors profitable, and you will only accept a good projects, then we can put IOC away and just invest IEO that will hold crowdfunding in your exchange.

[SaRmY]

Let's explore the question first. Let's wait for the first results. What would definitely understand that of the 2 types of project is better. I think if the project is not well-off, then nothing will save it.

[Hamphser]

Hmmm why not making it 98%? 2% are only legit and the rest is pure trash and scam.This is why this IEO becomes the norm as of this moment
because of such set-up which is more secure compared to traditional ICO, it isn't really much prone to scams and hacks but this wont guaranteed
on avoiding you on such manipulation.This is the only problem I do see with IEO's.

[Erickan]

The IEO may be the best choice for the present time, however, the IEO will help investors avoid scam risk than ICO. In 2018, the ICO market really collapsed, ICO only brought losses to investors, so the IEO is probably the better choice. But not all IEOs are safe and profitable for investors, remembering that investment always comes with risks. The IEO may also make investors lose.

[BitcoinHodler]

actually IEOs are worst than ICOs because of 3 main reasons:
1. they are still doing the same exact scam but now they seem legitimate only because the name is different and an exchange is backing them.
2. they are already listed on exchanges so the dumping is going to be faster and bigger since you don't have to wait around and slowly see different people come by and dump the token. everyone has a deadline and dumps at the same time.
3. it is giving exchanges too much power and they will surely abuse it if they aren't already.

[Lakai01]

IEOs are as trending as ICOs in 2017, they are hyped because ICOS arent worth the effort anymore and the majority of those tokens even dont get listed. Thats the only advantage IEOs have compared to ICOs, everything else have both offerings in common.

[Japinat]

I never thought it was that huge, $9 million daily lose in ICO is just insane, it really needs a change and thankfully IEO is here to help minimize scams.
The government has to do something it's already alarming, some county have not regulate ICO yet and that would make scammers still free to do their illegal activities.

[Wakhid Mukti]

Until now, the ICO is indeed too many scams and only a few percents have succeeded and still survive today. I think the IEO is the best breakthrough where projects and investors are no longer confused to face the future after the fundraising process is complete. Investors and platforms are easily facilitated by exchange from the process of collecting funds and later trade activities.

[rijaljun]

What is the definition of scam? If scam is defined as the disappearing after tokensale then maybe IEO can avoid this issue, but some people including me, call a project a scam when a project stop or delay their development and can't complete their roadmap on time. There are various types of scammer : Scammers could run from people as soon as peopl, or still with people with thousands fake promises to make people calm. And the second type I mentioned can't be avoided with just an IEO.

[fosco333]

The most useful advantage of IEO than ICO is about SECURE and CREDIBLE.
Secure because there is no way for you to transfer your eth to wrong address when participating in IEO.
Credible because the exchange itself who conduct their research and due diligence about the project.

[Akpuv]

The sixth reason which is accessibility is the most important of all. The headache most ICO investors have faced before had been the inability of the tokens to get listed after the token sales. This is where IEO has a clear advantage.

[Little Mouse]

IEO is better in all aspects other than the KYC. I really don't like it although I have done on several exchanges due to my trading reason. However, I think it's better than nothing/scam.

[Reid]

actually IEOs are worst than ICOs because of 3 main reasons:
1. they are still doing the same exact scam but now they seem legitimate only because the name is different and an exchange is backing them.
2. they are already listed on exchanges so the dumping is going to be faster and bigger since you don't have to wait around and slowly see different people come by and dump the token. everyone has a deadline and dumps at the same time.
3. it is giving exchanges too much power and they will surely abuse it if they aren't already.

There it is.
It cannot be always positive for this new types of offering.

I do agree with the rush listing though. Some ICO do prefer to hold it for a while to prevent investors from dumping it.
It will be easily played in the market which we all dont want to happen.
We want them to stay and let the roadmap come to a fruitful success.

It is not just because they are being selfish. It is for everyone so that the value may come up.

[Apes]

if it involves exchanging whether it can be said that the IEO is an escrow on project fundraising. The IEO looks very promising. if it is indeed a fund-raising technique like this, there will be a lot of people who are interested in investing because it is safe. but whether the exchange is responsible for each project fundraiser they hold. this is one of the advances in regulating ICO in the future every time the ico scam loopholes really needs to be fixed.

[anobtc]

I think another important factor is profit. IEO ensures better returns for investors when selling with small hardcap and therefore, the ability to increase prices after listing will be more secure than traditional ICO.

[sctunter]

totally aggree with all of them. now days very hard to find which ico that have good and not scamming
but for reminder not all IEO success, not all of them give you profit. just choose carefully which ico that worth to invest

[nreal]

IEO is of course much better than ICO, but so few people can buy tokens from the IEO. A major problem with IEO is that their tokens are pushed too high and then dumped heavily

[Indamuck]

IEOs carry the same risk as ICOs its just exchanges are involved from the start.  We all know how shady most of these exchanges are so I would be extremely hesitant about investing into any of these "projects".

[zulfi125]

 I agreed with you, As we know various projects was scams and now more projects of ICO's are scam ,so IEO is good opportunity for investor for safe investment.

[Alpinat]

I agree on this but ICO is more profitable than IEO back on the old days. Almost all of the millionaire in bitcoin joins ICO in the time that it is not that always scam project. I don't intend to promote ICO but I am just saying that it is profitable back in the old days. IEO is better now because it is more secured for me, it is a more safe investment than ICO in this type of market status.

[lovesybitz]

It is true that most of the ico are that appeared here in this business are scams in the end. But there are still ICO out there still legit, depending on the usages of the utility token. And it doesn't mean that IEO is better than ICO, it means ico is no longer useful of course not. Because before IEO was made there are many bounty hunters got their profit and became rich because of ICO.

[cryptonx]

IEOs are as trending as ICOs in 2017, they are hyped because ICOS arent worth the effort anymore and the majority of those tokens even dont get listed. Thats the only advantage IEOs have compared to ICOs, everything else have both offerings in common.

yes, i agree with you and IEO just an upgraded from ICO
the main advantages if a project do an IEO is the project will automaically listed on exchange after IEO ended
but ICO still have a good respond if the project look promissing with great team inside
because i still believe if not all ICO bad  

[zeze18]

I was very much interested in investing to such IEO. Thus, made me the urged to browse the internet and found some compelling informations. I found it very informative for some members here like me who are disoriented between IEO and ICO.

Here is the infographic that is worth to share.



Here is the SOURCE

It's better if you read the whole article to enlighten your confusions about Initial Exchange Offering (IEO).

We hope this things becomes hype and far from scammers.
So, this forum can promote IEO just like ICO back in the day when no scammers.
And bounty hunters can be paid well with their work

[soulripper]

IEOs might be better than ICOs  no doubt about that but still it cannot guarantee the projects held by that exchanges will not turn to scam after they collect the money from the IEOs. So double check where the IEOs will be held on cause not all exchanges are can be trust.

[Ucy]

There are many  disadvantages as well. We will understand this in the future. But they can both exist together.
 I have not even bother checking out these alternatives because they are clearly not what the crypto world needs.

[Yalovtsev]

Well, maybe it is better now as the demand created by the people themselves,and without demand and advertising will lose its popularity,remember how the market ISO was up in the top and all very good,a lot of populyarnosti investment,and then when after ISO projects started in minus X10, and more fall of the whole market which was great,went just to the bottom!!!

[rachman mahesa]

I believe that IEO investment is more profitable than ICO. And the IEO also seems very simple indeed. But now people still invest a lot in the IEO or ICO. For now, if you want to invest in an IEO, of course, each exchange has its own rules and the minimum investment is also different. So there is nothing wrong if people now want to invest in the IEO or ICO, as long as it can make investors benefit.

[graffix]

IEO is a new thing. we can see how it will work in the future. But it looks safer than the invest in ICOs. Many investors lost their funds because of the scam projects and projects dying on the way to exchanges. In that case, we all feel safer in IEO concept. I think if IEOs got success it will be the end of the ICOs. we still don't know what are the problems we gonna face in this system. but we will able to figure it out soon in the future.

[BitcoinCazh]

i like IEO because is more than safe first ieo that will listed in the market, can listed in two or more than 1 market, so that coin will have price their guarantee it, so risk invest in ieo is less

[Xenrise]

I don't think that it is 80%, more like higher percentage of scam ICO. IEO might be the solution we need just to diminish scams from ICO.

Simple - Yeah, I guess this is one of the advantages of it. You need 1 KYC in order to buy from the coin offerings.

Secure - I guess, having a more secure investment requires you to pick from those exchanges. Some exchange are scam.

Cheaper - Fees are nothing when you win an investment.

Credible - What if the project itself is a scam, DYOR.

Accessible - Yes an instant listing.

[Backupnime]

few point i have from IEO campaign is more secured, because investor is fully protected from fraud by exchanger, and after the coin are listed maybe can pumped to 2-5x than ico price from my experience after participated in IEO and profitable

[Adriano2010]

Indeed is a bad problem with ICO and i agree that IEOs are better than ICOs, and people will invest better on IEO than on a ICO, but always better do research if possible and only invest money that afford to lose.

[whirlcoin]

yes in this situation it will give all satisfaction to investors so I think all your points are very good for this situation to consider about investment and it will always have the EOS investment.

[Bitum]

At IEO you can at least make sure that token is listed on the exchange. At what price is another story. If you're lucky you can also do x2, x3 etc. And whether the projects can define as scam, that's all subjective. I am sure that of all the projects the IEO will do, we will also see a lot of scams

[Bitbtc8]

What matters to investors is the gains either the project is legit or not,there are many examples already since January 2019 many projects have doubled in price ,2x ,3x etc so investors will always prefer IEO ,it just works for now atleast, the real reason why investors get tired of ICO is the scam rate ,its very alarming

[MMA Rats]

Totally agree with you.  Since the fraudsters have simply become arrogant.  I don’t trust ICO so much that I stopped investing in them for a very long time.  And you correctly say that for us the most important thing is profit.

[Palmaper]

I have no doubt that there are certain advantages in the IEOs, but most of them seem rather directed to the marketing and technical aspect for the exchange of tokens, but it does not greatly improve one of the biggest shortcomings of the business scheme based on ICOs: projects with little substance, lacking sustainability in the medium term. Therefore, I remain quite skeptical about the advisability of investing in ICOs, now camouflaged as IEOs.

This post I guess summarises the merits of IEO over ICO. I believe we have now solved the problem of legitimately raising funds for a startup crypto project. Now we all should seek for solutions to investors loosing money 2 - 4weeks after IEO sales

[bartusv]

The biggest  benefit of IEOs over ICOs is  that exchanges are supervising the funding process.
Reputable exchanges won`t allow the project team to scam their customers.

[jcarlo]

We dont have to do our own research when invest in IEO because all done by exchanger. Its more comfortable join in IEO because we dont wait too long get listed in exchanger, mostly after exchanger close sales, exchanger start listing the project

[karagun125]

This is what we should try something new in crypto investments. Many already disappointed for the ico projects and continue to inveat hoping that this IEO would be better than ICO. As i read some of the information about IEO, it is great that it wont allow scam and fraud projects and also has the reputable exchanges for their projects.

[bitsurfer2014]

IEOs carry the same risk as ICOs its just exchanges are involved from the start.  We all know how shady most of these exchanges are so I would be extremely hesitant about investing into any of these "projects".

Then again, I guess its a case to case basis since both ICO and IEO has its own share of pros and cons. And investing in an IEO is never really a guarantee for having good profits since the exchange niche is now very saturated and everybody wants a share of the pie with it. Researching a good project with an ICO and also a good exchange with IEO if often the best thing to do in order to protect our investments. Imho.

[jvper]

Let's explore the question first. Let's wait for the first results. What would definitely understand that of the 2 types of project is better. I think if the project is not well-off, then nothing will save it.

Only time will tell if IEOs are really more secure or are subject to the same problems are ordinary ICOs. The due diligence exchanges perform may not be enough, just like pool due diliegence. An investor must always do their own due diigence.

[Lakai01]

yes, i agree with you and IEO just an upgraded from ICO
the main advantages if a project do an IEO is the project will automaically listed on exchange after IEO ended
but ICO still have a good respond if the project look promissing with great team inside
because i still believe if not all ICO bad  

I wouldnt say the concept of ICOs is bad, its more or less nothing else than crowd funding. Bad is what happened to ICOs at a whole:
- Exit scams and frauds
- Broken promises
- Stopped projects after listings
- ...
Since there are no regulations projects can do what they want and dont have to fear any consequences. Thats one of the reasons why ICOs are pretty dead in my opinion, investors fear that they may lose all their money.

[etherclassic]

totally aggree with all of them. now days very hard to find which ico that have good and not scamming
but for reminder not all IEO success, not all of them give you profit. just choose carefully which ico that worth to invest

I like this thread talking about the reasons IEO is better than ICO it will gives good information about the IEO but i more agree with your statement not all of IEO be successfull, because the projects depends on the developer of team it is not about method (IEO or ICO) for example the first of IEO exit with scam https://news.8btc.com/worlds-first-ieo-exit-scam-yescoin it is sad to head that, my point is no free risk of losing money in cryptocurrencies.

[Gemliting]

for this moment, I think IEO is much better than ICO,
more secure and flexible for everyone

[doycku]

If I understand correctly, then the problem of fraud will be regardless of which concept the new project will carry out.  In some cases, the company's ico looks quite productive, as confirmed by 2016 and 2017.  It seems to me that first of all you need to deal with fraud, and not with the way to implement new projects.

[Prompyboo]

for this moment, I think IEO is much better than ICO,
more secure and flexible for everyone

flexible for everyone? how can you say that this way of raising money is flexible if 90 percent of people cannot take part in it?

[Script3d]

totally aggree with all of them. now days very hard to find which ico that have good and not scamming
but for reminder not all IEO success, not all of them give you profit. just choose carefully which ico that worth to invest

this is why you should always do research when investing so you would be able to avoid scams like this, it was said they can buy bitcoin and ether at far below market price, if i see that i would immediately fuck off, sadly the investors didn't see that, and who would sell their crypto at much lower price.

[semobo]

For me both are equal it is just a strategy to make more profits from one another so both have its advantages and disadvantages currently IEOs are doing great because it is just now in practice so we will get what is actually better once people get enough knowledge about it

[BigBos]

it is true that IEO is better than ICO, because it is safer, and of course there are many benefits that can be obtained from the IEO. however, people's interest in ICO has not faded. well, maybe a good IEO project will start making people leave the ICO.

[ParabellumLite]

I agree, because IEOs help us avoid scam projects, but that is only true for large exchanges. The fact that the fomo IEO has made many people lose money when investing in IEOs in small, unproductive exchanges when they are listed exchange

[timmmers]

But still listing an token on exchange doesn´t mean that exchange is responsible for further development or? They will just say sorry, you should know that you are investing into high-risk asset and good bye.  

[funnec]

in making our conclusion about IEO and ICO, we should remember that ICO also started on a good note just like IEO but was later to scam, we should note also forget that many exchanges without solid reputation are now conducting IEO now. I just hope the fall of IEO will not be greater than ICO.

[enhu]

It would appear that way if IEO fails, an exchange maybe even more of the exchange turning out to be scam is going to be a big set back. This would mean that even when we set up a technology that is suppose to work "trustless" we will need to have trust to each other. These exchange scams is never new, there is always a scam when they  think of the sudden death of the 30 year old CEO of QuadrigaCX.

[kindbtc]

Yeah and i agree on all these points specifically i like the point that all these IEOs significantly reduce the chance of scam as scam or low quality projects are not going to make on exchanges unless the exchange gets greedy so yes considering the market scenario ieo is a new hope for investors.

[endogan]

Yeah and i agree on all these points specifically i like the point that all these IEOs significantly reduce the chance of scam as scam or low quality projects are not going to make on exchanges unless the exchange gets greedy so yes considering the market scenario ieo is a new hope for investors.

The IEO is indeed very good and launched at the right time at the time the ICO was very bad because there were many ICO frauds.
IEO is a new breakthrough for investors to invest and get profits because it has many advantages over ICO.

[mrdeposit]

The IEO is new for everyone but it surely doesn't let the scammers take the other people's money. ICOs lost its meaning a while ago and we need better solutions to the scam token sales. IEO will let investors buy with confidence.

[axel2078]

In the crypto space today, IEOs are trending because before launching or accepting any project for IEO due diligence and adequate research is always done, thus reducing the rate of scams. To be frank, more than 90% of ICOs are scams, thus I think IEO will reduce this scam rate.

[Leah38]

More projects are into IEO lately and investors have more trust investing on a project with IEOs compared to ICO. Besides the fact that its already on exchange, you can assure that you can get your tokens. Some ICOs even failed in token distribution after a ICO.

[bitsurfer2014]

Let's explore the question first. Let's wait for the first results. What would definitely understand that of the 2 types of project is better. I think if the project is not well-off, then nothing will save it.

Only time will tell if IEOs are really more secure or are subject to the same problems are ordinary ICOs. The due diligence exchanges perform may not be enough, just like pool due diliegence. An investor must always do their own due diigence.

I think both IEO's and ICO's are almost identical when its comes to the probability of them conveying investment risks just like traditional companies. What matters most is the kind and quality of projects we chose to become part regardless whether they are implementing an ICO or an IEO and most importantly, we should always be vigilant for any activity from the team that shows signs of mismanagement because most of the time, projects failed because of that reason.

[bestpikka]

if it is true that this IEO will be able to provide many benefits and security for investors, of course, in the future, many people will switch from ICO to the IEO. I hope that in the future we will develop more security and security, so that people will not hesitate in investing in cryptocurrency.

[alonelyorange]

The best reason why IEO more better than ICO is only take short time for selling their coins than ICO have waiting more than two or three months for sold out their coin, by IEO only take a week their coins was sold out and will be listed soon.

[icalical]

I totally agree with those statements, IEO is absolutely better than ICO. But let me tell you something, the main mission why the cryptocurrencies occur is to eliminate the third party involvement in any kind of financial activity, including fundraising. The phenomenon of IEO is both good and bad for cryptocurrency, it is very good and reliable for investors, but it also proof that even cryptocurrency and blockchain can't revolutionize how the traditional economic and financial works. Because the parties can not trust each other, and the thing that we call smart-contract which was supposed to give both parties the trust can't provide that. We still need the Third party involvement (the exchange), it shows how the cryptocurrency failed to fulfil its main mission.

[vasrasus]

It's much better, at least it is already listed in an exchange and it assures to have some value. It adds confidence for investors to really invest in it. I prefer joining in IEO campaigns and investment now, especially if the project shows really some progress.

[Malamok101]

Ieo is very important for token sale for ico right now because they can buy for there tokens in different exchanges and they hopping they will list on that exchanges.

[ansarose1]

I think this IEO could be way better than ico. Beacause several of ico's reputation are lost now for scam accusations. And IEO is better now since it has some good features better than ico, like only one kyc process for all projects handled to IEO, and also a good thing here for IEO is free gas fee for buying tokens. Such a great opportunity.

[patz22]

IEO is good in terms of security that investors can get when they participate on these sales however having a requirement of exchange coin like BNB will give us a headache since after the sale if you didnt get in, that coin will be dumped. There are advantages and disadvantages of ICO and IEO it is up to us on how we assess it.

[SeW900]

For me the only reason that the IEO is better than ICO is that you don't need to worry about what you hold because at the end of the day it will ended in exchange and you can sell your coin unlike in ICO there's no assurance that the coin/project you invested will be on exchange and most of the coin/project ended up as a scam or a failed project.

[adterna]

Indeed, now many ICOs are scam, and that is very detrimental to investors, perhaps better not funding the ICO, preferring the IEO because there are many advantages over ICO, and that is very profitable, but that is my opinion, there may be colleagues in the forum who experience different from mine.

[moynul2050]

it may be true that the IEO looks better than ICO. because there are many ICOs that end in scam, but if there is no ICO and no one does a campaign like the ICO, then what about the community?
maybe there will be a community with IEO?

[Distinctin]

it may be true that the IEO looks better than ICO. because there are many ICOs that end in scam, but if there is no ICO and no one does a campaign like the ICO, then what about the community?
maybe there will be a community with IEO?

There will still be campaigns like bounty campaign because IEO is still crowd funding, but it uses a certain exchange to facilitate it.
In short, they are still selling their coins and they need advertisers for their marketing to be effective.

[quality.crypto]

The IEO is new for everyone but it surely doesn't let the scammers take the other people's money. ICOs lost its meaning a while ago and we need better solutions to the scam token sales. IEO will let investors buy with confidence.

Exchange is conducting IEO based on some requirements and everything will be under their control of the exchanges, which they list the for IEO on the basis of some requirements. The exchange like Binance will hold some part of the fund until they start developing the product which they mentioned in roadmap. Whereas ICO's will raise the money from the investors and they left the investors without any further developments.

[etherclassic]

totally aggree with all of them. now days very hard to find which ico that have good and not scamming
but for reminder not all IEO success, not all of them give you profit. just choose carefully which ico that worth to invest

I agree with you we must always make investment our time first in the ICOs or IEOs projects, before we make investment our money in cryptocurrencies. Unfortunatelly there are no many people who invested their time than the money, so if we don't know anything about the projects of ICOs or IEOs we will be lost the money or we will be lost the chance to getting alot of money in cryptocurrencies as you said that the investors did not see good chance on cryptocurrencies.

Let's explore the question first. Let's wait for the first results. What would definitely understand that of the 2 types of project is better. I think if the project is not well-off, then nothing will save it.

Only time will tell if IEOs are really more secure or are subject to the same problems are ordinary ICOs. The due diligence exchanges perform may not be enough, just like pool due diliegence. An investor must always do their own due diigence.

The due diligence by exchanges can never be perfect as they are not God to know the heart of every investor and their game plans completely. IEO in the interim, can only assure the investors of a safe environment i.e. not falling into the hand of a scammer that is not known, so if an IEO developers scam an investors, at least, they will get the chance to be prosecuted if found guilty.

The issue now us that of failing projects which I still do not see IEO completely scraping this out, no matter the due diligence they perform in these projects, some of the will still fail in the long run, so I agree with you that we should not completely rely on the exchanges alone is making our choice.

[crzy]

Before ICO is great and now IEO is better, I believe this kind of development will end soon as we continue to grow and look for a better improvements. Manipulation with the exchanges can still happen, there's still no safe investment whether its on the top exchange or not. I will just invest on the top coins, and not on any shitcoins anymore.

[bitgolden]

The reasons listed here are quite valid except for the aspect of it being cheaper which I don’t see any correlation, because you don’t also spend much time on ICO to purchase as much as one even does for IEO, Before an IEO is launched, do you we know how many people will stay on queue burning gas to participate?

One thing IEO fails to tell people is that it is very difficult to participate in it, you have to be on queue for too long and hoping to participate which you might not get a chance to do so before the token gets sold out, which majority are being bought internally. If IEO can solve this challenge, then it will become perfect.

[8rch7]

Yes, for now the IEO is indeed better than ICO, but for some of these reasons, it doesn't guarantee that all IEOs don't scam, I think there is still a possibility that the IEO is scam.

[SlimShadyMmp]

ICOs and IEOs are just same thing with one thing different that is token are offered in exchange and the other using smart contract But dont just deceive yourself with some points man There are IEOs that are basically reap-off and meant to sell trash tokens just make sure to make research on any investment you are making

[Cryptomindset]

One of the main advantages of IEOs is trust. As the crowdsale is conducted on a cryptocurrency exchange platform the counterparty screens every project that seeks to launch an IEO on its website. Exchanges do this to maintain their good reputation by carefully vetting token issuers. Therefore, IEOs can eliminate scam and dubious projects from raising funds via cryptocurrency exchange platforms, and it becomes much harder to scam contributors with IEOs.

talk about biased, i wont even bother to read that shit

~IEOs are hyped ICOs, they gurantee nothing but newbs getting recked~

Another thing  that I would like to point out is the trend right now for investors is to participate in an IEO which of  course is a strategy for them but it doesn't help the whole crypto ecosystem because they are only focusing to support exchanges which is getting saturated right now and in reality, exchanges don't really care if there will be a serious development on a project as long as there will be incentives that can be gained with it. This practice is shifting more emphasis on  exchanges than developing projects with ICO that has actual and viable use cases but I can't blame them since some ICO's turned out to be fraud victimizing investors in the process but it could also be possible with projects doing IEO. So I guess there must be something that could be done about it?

[iqlimasyadiqa]

Analysis remains the thing that is needed in investing. The IEO is bound to have success because it depends on our choice. Coin in the IEO is not certain to be successful, so everything is the same and it depends on us in choosing. our ability will determine what we will get. invest in smart and think about what we will do next.

It doesnt matter if it was IEOs or ICOs. That was not guarantee the success of the projects at all. If the projects used IEO and cannot delivered their promises it will become a failed projects even they used IEOs. So to be smart on picking what to invests pick on what is releven and choose on the best projects only even it used ICOs or IEOs it still the same for me. Pick with smart and invests smart on IEOs or ICOs.

[Cosbycoin]

I was very much interested in investing to such IEO. Thus, made me the urged to browse the internet and found some compelling informations. I found it very informative for some members here like me who are disoriented between IEO and ICO.

Here is the infographic that is worth to share.

It's better if you read the whole article to enlighten your confusions about Initial Exchange Offering (IEO).

We don't even need many reasons as to why IEO is better than ICO, for the fact that IEO is controlled by popular exchanges is a plus for investors because this exchanges have built reputation for themselves and will not want to spoil it for some few amount of dollars, so they will make sure to checkmate every project before approving them for IEO, and for the fact that it's done on exchanges, this just means that it is also secured and to some extent free from scammers.

I don’t understand this situation a bit, because I don’t know how new opportunities for implementing new projects may differ from eco companies.  It seems to me that the scammers will invent new ways to deceive the investor anyway.  There, we need to think about how to protect investors' funds. And with the help of an exchange this will be very difficult.

yes, you might be right on one side, but the more exciting thing is, when you have the token launched, you have it right away when you buy it. that is the advantage of the IEO. in fact, the IEO might have prepared a better start than ICO. well, but anyway, now ICO is still used.

[fianaindriati]

Yes, for now the IEO is indeed better than ICO, but for some of these reasons, it doesn't guarantee that all IEOs don't scam, I think there is still a possibility that the IEO is scam.

Some things that might be a consideration of my address to the IEO. Even though the IEO is indeed interesting now. but clearly there is still controversy about this. as an example :

• Transparency
• Project Selection System From Exchange
• And also an agreement regarding fees. I think there must be

But as long as the exchange that carries out the IEO still has high trust if you are interested, the risk may not be too big because of course if the wrong selection can reduce the reputation of the exchange.

Thats right, as an additional token sale in IOS if it's not long. After the tokensales, tokens directly listed in the exchange

But on the other hand the IEO has no fraud while there are still many ICOs, I believe that IEO is the best solution.

[GregH37]

if it is true that this IEO will be able to provide many benefits and security for investors, of course, in the future, many people will switch from ICO to the IEO. I hope that in the future we will develop more security and security, so that people will not hesitate in investing in cryptocurrency.

For now, I think the security of investor’s investment is still fully guaranteed, but I don’t know what might become of IEO in future, when ICO started too, there was no issue of scam until scammers saw an opportunity to use it in scamming people, now I am beginning to hear at the early stage of already discovered loop hole, which are weak exchanges coming up with IEO too.

It will be so much easier for scam to be done through weak exchanges and if care is not much taken, Binance and other great exchanges will not be able to curtail it except hey start coming up with another strategy that will block this.

[motienvolam]

snip

You mentioned two important things: 1. You thought that the security for investors now is guarenteed, I don't know which things led to such conclusions. Even when authorities have good requirements on ICO, IEO, exchanges, the risks for investors only existed, because there are always loop holes and they will be found and abused by bad guys. 2. Weak exchanges: I guess you meant young, small, unreliable exchanges (because they are young). For them, yes I agreed with you that they can make scam exits whenever they want, with IEOs Or without IEOs for their exchanges' fundings. For two reasons, I think IEOs are risky as same as ICOs, or even higher. Higher because if investors invest in IEO of a specific exchange, they might also store their money or trade on the exchange. So, they might lose more money (from their investment in IEO, from their money stored on that exchange).

[slaman29]

If IEO can solve this challenge, then it will become perfect.

Exactly. I will say though that maybe on IEO it's "cheaper" because everyone has the chance to buy it, without the ICO "bonuses" to dilute the value or without those nonsense bounties that give away 5% of the value. At least everything on IEO is as is, at least with the ones I've seen. Other than the tokens allocated to founders and what not, every other token is sold on exchanges with an IEO.

[Chacha1000]

I also believe IEO is better than ICO, but the only thing i dont like in IEO is the rush involved during the purchase,people really burn their gas for nothing just to be able to participate

[GREENch]

FCFS this format of IEO, which is now used on most Launchpad forces ordinary investors to look for additional ways to have time to buy tokens(I'm talking about special programs). So that causes certainly less than 6))

[raven7886]

It is not a plus to many people, sometimes leaving the IEO in the hands of these top exchanges could be dangerous, do you think any exchange will go that far to create IEO platform just because they have the interest people at heart? They do so to in other to make more money, using people’s weakness.

They have seen the week point of many potential investors now and fear of getting scammed if they get involved, and when thy built on that, the people they said they are protecting cannot even get involved other than whales, because only a whale would have such money to gather lots of the tokens at once without given little chance to the one that are not much financially buoyant to participate.

[motienvolam]

Better or worse, it depends on which exchanges you choose to join their IEOs, and which companies you choose to join their ICOs. Joining good ones will results in good things (profits for your investments). In contrast, choosing bad ones will likely cause losses. There is no guarentee that invest into IEO is better and will lead to certain profits, whilst invest into ICOs is worse and will cause losses for investors. It is too objective to judge which one is better between ICOs and IEOs, without details of each pair of ICO and IEO use to compare.

[neonshium]

Ieo is very important for token sale for ico right now because they can buy for there tokens in different exchanges and they hopping they will list on that exchanges.

I think IEO has been able to reduce the concept of scam in ICO to a great extent. I am talking about IEOs conducted by the best exchanges like Binance and Bittrex. They have been able to conduct successful IEOs and this makes them the leading exchanges among so many which conduct IEOs. The fact that IEO prevents the scam in ICOs is very healthy for the startups that look for raising funds.

[Bagaji]

I wouldn't say i agree base on your analysis becasue the way IEOs are going about their hype was the same was in the early days of ICOs before they where be labelled as scam ICOs. Apart from some reputable exchanges, don't you think that, things will fall apart if some irresponsible exchange get into the world of IEOs? lets wait and watch before the conclusion of who is better than the other.   

[Little Mouse]

IEO is of course much better than ICO, but so few people can buy tokens from the IEO. A major problem with IEO is that their tokens are pushed too high and then dumped heavily

In fact, most of the coins are now manipulated, you have to admit on this. It's true that IEO can be more manipulated since only a few users can purchase it. This is where I hate this distribution system of IEO.

[GregH37]

It is too objective to judge which one is better between ICOs and IEOs, without details of each pair of ICO and IEO use to compare.

Most IEO investors, especially the ones carried out on Binance has testified to the massive increase they get on their investment due to the supply that becomes limited once they hit an exchange, but the one challenge I see with it is that, the way they have first come first serve in participating in these IEO is the same way they will have firstcome first serve in taken profit, because there is no way all of them can take profit, as one investors takes, it will dump the price for others.

I don’t think IEO investors are really there to Hold the coin for long, they are just there to make profit, and so the problem of IEO majorly will be dumping, which I strongly advise before this one destroys IEO reputation again.

[FelippeHeinz]

The sale of tokens from an exchange is without doubt better. However, this does not exclude the risk of scam projects, but it can certainly reduce them dramatically.

[CryptoIyke]

I quite agree that there are varying degrees of risks when comparing IEO's to ICO's. IEO's are better owing to the fact that the coins get to be listed and trading commences as soon as sales are over and irrespective of whatever becomes the value after listing, one is sure of selling his tokens or coins. This will go a long way make or mar certain exchanges as a whole lot of exchanges and their reputation will be dependent on the type of IEO's they allowed launching

When its on IEO, it's guarantee that a certain project will be listed right after the sale.
Investors interest is to sell their coins at a higher value so they can have the profit, and there is a chance to rise if it's listed right away.

ICO is using the old style, but the market has matured and evolve, ICO needs to be improve, otherwise it will not gone in the market.


Investors will always look for a better one, and between the two, right now IEO is more popular.

[GodHatesFigs]

Personally, I prefer the usual ico on ethereum.  There is much more transparency.  And the advantage of ieo is only in the fast listing on the stock exchange.

[Wintersoldier]

Here is the SOURCE

It's better if you read the whole article to enlighten your confusions about Initial Exchange Offering (IEO).

What about if the exchange itself is not profitable? I mean, we know that the potential should be on the project itself, but it do really needs the help of the exchange for it to grow further, though that, we can say, exchange is one of the factor that will going to determine the success of the project, and in relation to the topic, we should choose the right project which is has an IEO on the right exchange.

[entebah]

For security reasons, IEO is very strict from ICO, because IEO has good security features, this is why I prefer IEO than ICO, for example IEOs on the Bittrex and Binance markets, this is undoubtedly about security for users. So that investors will get a sense of security when buying in the market.

[Distinctin]

Personally, I prefer the usual ico on ethereum.  There is much more transparency.  And the advantage of ieo is only in the fast listing on the stock exchange.

I can't agree with that, how can you explain the fact that more than half of the ICO projects are scams?
ICO is bad for new investors, they are not fully aware of the scams yet, at least in IEO, exchanges ensures they know about the project they accept for IEO.

[jak3]

No doubt that IEO is better than ICO. like many exchanges are thinking about it and even some average exchanges are trying to apply it like yobit.net (not promoting it). but we are taking it too much possessive like security and wrong transactions which are done by people are rare and does not gonna happen as long as people know what they are doing. and on the other hand, we have tokens which are already on the exchange so we can exchange them as soon as we get the interest.

[Coffeehot]

in my opinion. the most important thing is the project itself. Ico and IEO are both ways of fundraising for projects. if it is a quality project. i will invest in it even if it uses ICO. some air coins quickly depreciated within a few days after IEO. Not all IEOs are worth investing.

[lionheart78]

I agree that IEO is better than ICO in terms of verification of the  project developer.  It make easy for an investor in verifying the people behind the project since the exchange already done this stuff.  Unlike ICO that the responsibility of researching or verifying the team is on the investors alone.

[Papcio77]

I agree with that reasonings, my first choice was IEO is much secured than ICO. There are lots of risk buying token through direct send of payment to the given address. IEO gives high percentage that the token we trying to buy will be sent to our wallets. Our problem is just the price when it starts in trading

[bitsurfer2014]

Personally, I prefer the usual ico on ethereum.  There is much more transparency.  And the advantage of ieo is only in the fast listing on the stock exchange.

I agree with your point. Actually I believe IEO's are just sugarcoated ICO's designed to be more attractive to investors but don't get rid of the risks associated with ICO's. With that in my mind, I'm afraid IEO's will be used as a tool for projects with malicious goals to further scam investors since these exchanges will not guarantee successful product delivery for every IEO it will conduct and I hope the community should consider that idea before they take any investment action.

[Chomsy]

The only reason with much difference here is the last one. Yes, with ICO you will have to wait months for th project to list in an exchange while it's the opposite with IEO. What I do know is that it doesn't guarantee you will make gains as the hype of ICO stipulates now.

[luthvie]

nice and really like your info buddy, now im not scared anymore for invest my money on IEO rather than traditional ICO.

[Darkoth89]

This exactly! Sure, exchanges are doing an intensive check of each projects before it gets on their launchpads but even Binance cannot guarantee that a project delivers its promises. In the end the biggest difference between an ICO and an IEO, is just that an IEO guarantees the listing right after the sale.

but everything is still risky for investment. there is no guarantee that you will benefit from IEO investments. even though an exchange of binary is also certainly risky in carrying out the IEO. still be careful.

[chipzeru]

Both have their own advantages but since there's a lot of scam projects, IEO is better than ICO for security. At least the exchange knows the background of the project especially those with good reputation like binance or bittrex and will get listed on their exchanges. But the risk still there as the exchanges can't ensure the future of those project.

[ricardobs]

This is the reason I love IEO and prefer it over ICO. This is IEO has been instrumental in reducing the risks for investors. The crypto project first goes through some tests and assessments and they are very vetted bear in mind and after that, the IEO is conducted and the tokens are sold after listing is done. The advantage is that the factor of uncertainty is covered and the investment is least prone to risks.

[zgrdyg]

IEO simply better because there is a guaranteer. And it comes with a guaranteed listing on an exchange.

But you are buying the same token. So if the project is shit, IEO won't be enough. You will end up losing money.

[Disaster435]

IEO simply better because there is a guaranteer. And it comes with a guaranteed listing on an exchange.

But you are buying the same token. So if the project is shit, IEO won't be enough. You will end up losing money.

Can't agree more. The really thing that IEO does is that it guarantees listing. That's actually all. Everything else depends on the project. But of course even listing guarantee is a big big step ahead compared to 2017 and 2018 when many coins did ICO and then never listed on any exchange or on decent exchange.

[gabbie2010]

Personally I see IEO as better alternative to ever increasing fraudulent ICO I can now see diversification of investors portfolios to a well secured and profitable venture having been disappointed with rave of scamming  ICOs.
IEO will boast the confidence  of the investors through many reputable exchanges coordinating the sales bring sanity and credibility to cryptosphere.

[ice18]

My only question is why invest in IEO if we can buy this token or coin much lower after listing on the partner exchange? One disadvantage I can see is the dumping activities mostly by whales this people dont care about the project they only care for profits they can get in IEO easy money for them.

[canman]

IEO simply better because there is a guaranteer. And it comes with a guaranteed listing on an exchange.

But you are buying the same token. So if the project is shit, IEO won't be enough. You will end up losing money.

Many recent projects are all very low prices and the IEO is a very risky investment channel if you choose a project listed at the new exchange. I think now IEO is getting more and more and that makes investors more dangerous when investing. Most recently, the Ocean at Bittrex has a very low price and it makes things worse so IEO will soon die in the near future.

[jrrsparkles]

IEOs got so much of hype just because of the ICO scams but what is the assurance for us an IEO will not turn into a scam?

This is also having chances of turning into scam after they collect enough funds,so I am not suggesting anyone to invest on IOEs as well.

[lagharto]

Honestly i liked previous format that called ICO through a smart-contracts where everything was transparent and fair. But i like IEO for the almost 100% guarantee of an exchange listing of the a shitcoin that collects money. And this is the main reason why this format became very popular on a bloody bear market.

Yes and all this hype about IEO's will only lead back to us by carrying the burden of initiating research first on the project, assessing if its viable, determining if its a scam or not and so on. So definitely, there has been no real change on the risk factor when it comes to IEO and ICO which is almost the same except that IEO's has a great chance of listing on that exchange which is not the case for an ICO.

[steveabrahams]

100% agreed with all the points of OP's posted. The biggest point is 80% of ICOs are scams which is very true, i think this is why investors move their funds/investment to IEOs. Investor don't need verify KYC again and again, also supported by a big exchange like binance, huobi, bittrex and many else.

[BlueStackz]

Personally, I prefer the usual ico on ethereum.  There is much more transparency.  And the advantage of ieo is only in the fast listing on the stock exchange.

That is not the only advantage or reason why people are running to IEO, you are  not a newbie and you already know what Ethereum ICO is already going through, how it has been destroyed by scammers and has made investors loose interest.

Ever since IEO platform was created because these top exchanges promoting them makes sure they do their own due diligence in ensuring that the project is a very reliable one, many investors have made their ways back to the crowd fundingscheme and still supporting these good projects in establishing it. So ICO and IEO are totally not to be compared.

[Nasonn]

One of the reasons I tip IEOs ahead of ICO is because fraud is eliminated, many people unfortunately have lost thousands to millions of dollars in ICO frauds and there is no way to recover those funds but with IEO, one will be certain his funds is safu.

[Keadyar]

You are 100% right. By investing in an IEO, you can not worry that the project will disappear the next day ... or not to worry that the received tokens will never see the exchange ... I also decided to try to take part in one promising IEO. Long chose and found a project in which I am ready to invest! If you are also looking for an object to invest, then pay attention to the project Gexan. Very decent option!

Ever since IEO platform was created because these top exchanges promoting them makes sure they do their own due diligence in ensuring that the project is a very reliable one, many investors have made their ways back to the crowd fundingscheme and still supporting these good projects in establishing it. So ICO and IEO are totally not to be compared.

IEO of top exchanges simply unjoinable for small investors. It is just a game of whales. I agreed with you that IEOs are ICOs are totally different, however, they have common things that they all can be abused by groups of bad guys. Sooner or later, when the IEO wave become hotter (like we witnessed with ICOs in the past), scammers will start their new wave of scam IEOs. Their IEOs are real, everyone can join and buy, but eventually they will make scam exits and run away with not only funds they raised from IEOs, but also from all money of traders stored on their exchanges. Personally, I simply stay away from IEOs of small, strange, and young exchanges. For well-known, big exchanges, we don't have opportunities to join them, so forget them too.

[justspare]

100% agreed with all the points of OP's posted. The biggest point is 80% of ICOs are scams which is very true, i think this is why investors move their funds/investment to IEOs. Investor don't need verify KYC again and again, also supported by a big exchange like binance, huobi, bittrex and many else.

There are so many benefits of IEO platform, and I have never even really thought of one of the benefits that you mentioned which you are very much right about it, that alone has even covered the whole stress ICO gives making one to keep submitting KYC from time to time.

People fear KYC more than they fear the devil himself LOL, now imagine a system that will make it easy for them to just do KYC once, which is on exchanges and from there, they have no business submitting any form of verification to these projects over and over again, since these exchanges are the ones directly handling the projects.

Absolute sense in what you said, if you see many of us that has been singing praises of IEO and hyping IEO, ask any of them if they have ever participated in any IEO, especially that of big exchanges like Binance, they will tell you no.

The cost of buying these tokens on IEO is quite high, and since IEO starts and ends at the Initial coin offering stage, unlike ICO that still gives opportunity for people to participate in post ICO, but there is nothing like post IEO, except maybe these news exchanges that will not meet up the target before the time elapses and will eventually have no choice than to throw it open for post IEO. So if we don’tconsider small exchanges IEO too, then we may never participate in any like you said.

[Cellerex]

In 2017 I actively invested in ICO. Of course, some of my investments were unsuccessful, but in general I managed to earn. Now, in 2019, I am going to actively invest in IEO. I believe that this concept is a new stage in the development of crypto investment. Therefore, tomorrow I will invest in IEO Gexan. Inviting all who are interested in investing will get acquainted with this project at the link: https://p2pb2b.io/token-sale/GEX

[ikicha]

My oppinion

1. ICO or IEO are the same product
2. ICO or IEO is DEV PRINTING MONEY (they sold new created token to real money like BTC or ETH)
3. IEO is free money for Dev and Exchange
4. Investor/Users/Traders only want PRICE DOUBLED, after that, they will SOLD all tokens and nobody cares about product. you can see BTT,MATIC,FET,and many others IEO

[herfie.chen]

That's absolutely right IEO better than ICO, simple, secure and fast on the token sale. I only need to do one KYC on the exchange platform like Binance to be able to invest in the IEO project.

[terramoo]

That's absolutely right IEO better than ICO, simple, secure and fast on the token sale. I only need to do one KYC on the exchange platform like Binance to be able to invest in the IEO project.

This is true. From my point of view, IEOs are just more secured cause firstly they get evaluated by ourselves and they get evaluated by exchanges, where the IEOs are hold. By the way, are you aware of any good projects in here? I know one pretty advanced IEO - Farm2Kitchen. Probably anyone heard of them

[Whosdaddy]

One of the reasons I tip IEOs ahead of ICO is because fraud is eliminated, many people unfortunately have lost thousands to millions of dollars in ICO frauds and there is no way to recover those funds but with IEO, one will be certain his funds is safu.

The funds are safe, quite true but any assurance that the fund will yield profit? If IEO platform only focus on fraud done through scammers alone, then it is still not safe for investors, because they will still eventually lose money to weak developers who may get tired of developing the project along the line.

SO I will implore all IEO exchanges to not only focus on the issue of scam alone, there is also need for them to make sure that whatever the developers are engaging their services for is really worth promoting and would yield all investors return on their investment in the long run.

[Pithaxz]

yes we know that the IEO is more focused on their products and investor data security, the IEO has many advantages that can attract many investors to join, besides that I am personally interested in the IEO project because it is more promising and also avoids fraud cases.

[jumiapaul]

IEO was a replacement of ICO due to the mistrust that have been developed on ICO. There have been several scam cases bothering on ICO and the investing public decided to run away from ICO's. IEO is much more safer compared to ICO because the exchange platform serves as a middle man and would be weary of listing scam ICO's, because their reputation may be jeopardised when they float a scam project.

[MrPiggles]

yes we know that the IEO is more focused on their products and investor data security, the IEO has many advantages that can attract many investors to join, besides that I am personally interested in the IEO project because it is more promising and also avoids fraud cases.

IEO is a new trend that many people are interested in this year and it has helped many people earn good profits from this investment channel. I think the IEO in this market has helped people avoid a lot of scammers and I believe in the near future we can be more secure in investing. Although there are projects that do not achieve high value, it has changed a lot in this crypto market

[Serve20]

Thanks for writing this out. IEO is not in anyway perfect but it is far better than ICO with what I have experienced with both. No exchange will hold IEO for scam project on their platform and the possibility of immediate liquidity is also a big advantage.

[shadowduck]

Thanks for writing this out. IEO is not in anyway perfect but it is far better than ICO with what I have experienced with both. No exchange will hold IEO for scam project on their platform and the possibility of immediate liquidity is also a big advantage.

the fact is that new projects are now starting to conduct IEO on new exchanges that have no reputation. and I think there may be some collusion

[The Management]

If we put the commission aside (no one with a high commission fee), I was intrigued by other features. It was a really nice feature, especially when they gathered them all on a single platform.

[Dr.Osh]

The IEO does have many advantages from ICO. even more so when the IEO is done on a large exchanger like binance, or bittrex. this can be ascertained that the project is truly promising. unfortunately now investors may still want to see developments from the IEO.

[neonshium]

If we put the commission aside (no one with a high commission fee), I was intrigued by other features. It was a really nice feature, especially when they gathered them all on a single platform.

This is nice. I think that IEO have really been instrumental in giving a new interface to ICO and this was very important because ICO was simply not working any more. It was banned by many countries, and was the target of scams. Over here in an IEO, you could get the things done very easily jut by paying a listing fee and a portion of the finds raised on the platform to the exchange. And this happens in the blink of eyes.

[Furious 7]

IEO is more instant than ICO, but the potential for loss is the same.
even the IEO might be faster because the community only uses the hype to make a profit. while ico runs according to the roadmap and the platform runs in the future.
ICO guarantees more for the future.

[sana54210]

It will still not create much problem, this one can easily be controlled unlike ICO that has no control, some of the control would be for people to just ignore exchanges that have no reputation, by the time people don’t pay attention to them, they will have no choice than to back out of the IEO, as many project developers will also not risk wasting listing money as they are not sure of the volume they will get.

The only way I see us having issue is when big exchanges that we rely on begin to produce shitty projects or scam projects which I believe may be kind of impossible as they will do everything to protect their reputation and the base of users they have already gathered.

[Wayan_Pedjeng]

One advantage with the IEOs is that the investors don't need to worry about when the tokens will get listed in an exchange, unlike the case with the ICOs. That said, the listing does not guarantee the long term survival of the token. As we have seen, the majority of the recent IEOs have gone down in price after the listing process.

[Mr.Noda]

I would not be so optimistic, and there and there there are quite reasonable risks. You need to be extremely careful with this kind of investment.

[Freescan]

I think IEO and ICO are both detrimental when they fail, but IEOs are far better than ICO, 80% estimate that IEO is anti-fraud and they have their own exchanges, at least when the project is finished, tokens already have market prices. different from ico currently really does not support, there are many cases of fraud that occur in ico. it also makes me a little hesitant to invest in ico.

[Chuky92]

From the look of things and by comparison, there is no doubt that IEOs are far better than ICOs. But one thing is still important, irrespective of the fact that IEO is better and can be hyped, investors should endeavour to do their own research to ensure they are making the right decision by investing in a potential project.

[zulfi125]

The main IEO Reason to choose is security but you should always select good exchange and trusted exchange and ICO have not these feature due this most of ICO's was scams.

[BitTraderCute]

The main IEO Reason to choose is security but you should always select good exchange and trusted exchange and ICO have not these feature due this most of ICO's was scams.

IEO become solution from scamming investors.they will get certainity while projects directly listed in exchanges.so investors no need to wait for long time their projects listing on exchanges.as we know there are much projects prefer to postponed their token due market condition.and it make investors disappointed.

[trauchot]

At the moment, there is no point in looking for any weaknesses or usefulness of IEO, because everyone understands that IEO is now gaining incredible momentum and every company that wants to make ICO or IEO of course must choose IEO so that their company will can get the best investors.

[Kezacky]

IEO become solution from scamming investors.they will get certainity while projects directly listed in exchanges.so investors no need to wait for long time their projects listing on exchanges.as we know there are much projects prefer to postponed their token due market condition.and it make investors disappointed.

and since then some investors have reconsidered before investing in the ico project, they prefer and switch to IEO projects that are better than ICO, besides that the IEO has advantages that ICO does not have, such as exchanges after the project is completed, the risk of fraud is small and also a lot large companies that have trusted the IEO program recently.

[btccrusher]

Well, yes IEO is good and secure than ICO but only when choose a reputable exchange for the launch. New exchange starting with an IEO launchpad can't be good and I suspect they are aiming at exit scam of people and project's money. Only a good exchange can be secure enough.

[sergei1703]

Nice reasons, but I think the main advantage of IEO is that listing on a good exchange right after the token sale is good for the price of the token.

[iconoclast]

I have serious doubts that the due diligence that the exchanges conduct goes much beyond asking the people doing the project to pass the same KYC tests that investors pass. They do not vet the projects to determine if they are good investments and are only really interested in collecting a commission which often runs 10% of the money raised. You still need to do all the same due diligence before you invest and be cautious of all the claims made.

[Flezy]

The reasons are the true nature of IEO and certianly why it stands out from ICO. I think if IEOs will be properly managed, that is the exchange always ensuring that only potential projects are accepted, IEO will beat ICO on the long term.

[--DarkSecrets--]

they have similarities but we can say IEO is much better because of standards of an exchange of course they will not let  an IEO for them to integrate if they aren't sure how legitimate it is or it has a present issues or whatsoever. IEO will stand out for the rest of this year and soon might have a variety. The bad thing here is people might buy a specific coin and when they didn't able to participate a bigger chance of losses is awaiting.

[stigmacryptonight]

Very many people compare which is better than IEO or ICO. For me, IEO or ICO is the best as long as I know crypto. The most important thing is that you can benefit from your investment. So what is important is you can from the IEO or ICO.

[Dellosoft]

I agree with this post. Buying in IEO is safer than buying in ICO because the exchange team already must have properly verified the legitimacy of the team so that their new won't be dragged to the mud if it's a scam project. Also, I think IEO also aided in boosting the hopes of crypto enthusiasts lately and that's a good one.

[Akoldi_ibk]

Taking the IEO route is better and more safer than the ICO route given the scam that has plague ICO sector. My fear is that scam projects will be more advanced in their act and may decide to take the IEO path, deceive the investors as well as the exchange hosting them. More tasks lies on the exchange to properly vet new projects.

[Wayan_Pedjeng]

Well, it is not a perfect solution. The promoters can still dump their tokens in these exchanges and then vanish with the BTC/ETH. And this may leave the investors in confusion. In case a mass dump occurs in the exchanges, should they book losses and exit, or should they wait for some more time hoping that the prices will recover?

they should wait for the price to recover because its only normal for cryptos to go down  .cryptos are known to recover as long as you are confident that you have invested on the right coin or on the right project  . i think ieo's are really better than an ico because we can save time researching whenever we decide to invest in an ieo while on ico we need to spend alot of time researching for different sources in order to check if the ico is trully legit  or not .

[cryptic4000]

The reasons are the true nature of IEO and certianly why it stands out from ICO. I think if IEOs will be properly managed, that is the exchange always ensuring that only potential projects are accepted, IEO will beat ICO on the long term.

In fact, the IEO is still trusted by more investors and everyone wants to participate in good IEO projects that are on this market. I think it's best to choose the best deals because you will be more liquid in making a profit. Anyway now is a good time to invest in IEO but this trend will end soon later this year and you should be careful when keeping your coin exchange

[dabenko]

One of the reasons I so much like IEO, most especially those conducted on good exchanges, is that, there is more likelihood you are investing in. A legit project.
If peradventure it happened along the line that the project is a scam, investors' funds will be returned, which gives more credibility to the exchange and IEO in general.

[awakpane]

In my opinion, one of the reasons the IEO is better than the ICO is because, when the IEO takes place, many investors make massive investments. and has the potential to get big profits.

[desticy]

For me, there is almost no difference between these two types of fundraising. The main advantage of an IEO is protection against potential fraud with the subsequent theft of investors' funds. If the exchange goes on its reputation comes to an end, which means that investment in IEO can be called relatively safe.

[Eraldo Coil]

I really don't have any problems with both as long as they pay their investors/customers and also the people who joins to campaign for their projects. It doesn't really matter to me because I'm sure that there are ICOs that are more profitable than IEOs. Probably most IEOs are better because it gives a higher chance in those 6 reasons.

[eidoscore]

Yes I agree with the statement that the IEO is far better than ICO.
because as we can see from the registered data and research that 80% of the ICO is a SCAM.
therefore the IEO began to become an alternative for investors and IEO became popular now.
but we can still see that there are still a number of successful ICOs, maybe ICO can still live but it takes time to renew to be trusted again.
Not all ICO scam and not all IEO is good.

[max6575]

as guarantee with the scheme on perseverence as work of the exchange to gives of reference as clients to work on confidence, the offers from developer gives with one on limitation as value of token to becomes with one as objective with the accounting on finance as clients to manage plan on business with the crypto trading of the bitcoin archipelago.

[BitcoinCazh]

for me IEO just to reduce scam is the point, i dont think about others point like gas ot something else, IEO recommended for people want to leave scamer so you only research who is the best for invest

[ra_pl]

the IEO is a form of an ICO with “a change in a genetic code”. It is based on the ICO but has some additional features, such a safer way to play with the price of a coin as the offering is conducted on the local exchanges, in whose interest is to eliminate any possible risk of fraud.

[Nalbo]

I was very much interested in investing to such IEO. Thus, made me the urged to browse the internet and found some compelling informations. I found it very informative for some members here like me who are disoriented between IEO and ICO.

Here is the infographic that is worth to share.



Here is the SOURCE

It's better if you read the whole article to enlighten your confusions about Initial Exchange Offering (IEO).

Investors are fed up with ICO projects. They lost most of their money on projects that were completely scam or on projects whose token never got price higher than they paid for.
Investors wants some sort of safety. There's a lack of trust as there are no regulation among ICO. On the other hand IEO's are handpicked by experts from an exchange. IEO picked by legit exchanges would have some credibility as it would also be the matter of exchange's reputation.

[aderidwan98]

I agree with you, because most ICO are scam, and many investors lose, and IEO is the best choice at this time.

[Mypanara19]

For me ieo and ico is almost the same they just use another term so that people would think that ieo is more better than ico when in fact if the team would just vanish after they get something from ieo then the platform or exchange could not do anything to prevent such happening. And its not a guarantee that ieo would give you good profit after you participate in it. Just the same that risks are still there and we must be ready about all the negative things that we may encounter when we invest in ieo.

[sammy21]

I agree with you, because most ICO are scam, and many investors lose, and IEO is the best choice at this time.

remember, not all IEOs! even though many IEOs are successful, keep doing research for developing projects where sales may be successful, but market capabilities have different surprises.

[manyexp]

IEO is just another form of ICO.
ICO also had many successful cases in the early days. The side effects of IEO will soon be revealed and many cases of failure will be reported.
No one knows the hidden backdoor deals between the exchange and IEO project.

[SirLancelot]

That is nice. IEO is the former ICO with some genetic changes. The DNA is designed to make sure the project that raise heads in the market and try to make money are genuine and for that, the tests the project of the crypto startup and this is nice. It has actually covered the risk that was there due to FOMO in case of investment in ICO.

[LogitechMouse]

You said it all.

I think I might change the "80%" number in your infographic to around 95%. In my experience in ICO's, the final outcome of them is:
-The team will run away and it will be a scam.
-The tokens will be distributed but it doesn't have any value because it will not be listed on an exchange.
-The token will be listed on the exchange but the team will sell all of their tokens that they hold and will left the project.

IEO's can prevent the investor from getting scammed but it will not remove the fact that after listing, the price will plummet at first.

[rachman mahesa]

So either the IEO or ICO have their own shortcomings. There is no perfect investment and even investment in the IEO or ICO. The important thing is that you must have the opportunity to seek profits in all investments. Whether it's ICO or IEO investment.

[aioc]

I believe it came because ICO cannot satisfy the investor's expectation anymore, it has everything that ICO is lacking and because of these the IEO is being embraced by a majority of the investors and every exchange, small and big are now doing IEO, they will also benefit from staging IEO.

[zacxavier]

I could say the liability and credibility of an exchange is brought along with the start-up doing an IEO whilst ICO is only a single company asking for funding that is hardly to reciprocate if the given information was true. Though it won't change the fact that a project would succeed with their vision using cryptocurrency, IEO helps far way more better in terms of initial funding and trust.

[TWW]

what you say is true, all of these sales systems have disadvantages, and we must look for the best and can benefit us. even some ICOs are still popular now, although binance launchpad makes investors more interested in their sales.

[Fredomago]

I believe it came because ICO cannot satisfy the investor's expectation anymore, it has everything that ICO is lacking and because of these the IEO is being embraced by a majority of the investors and every exchange, small and big are now doing IEO, they will also benefit from staging IEO.

Listing is part of the game when investing inside this Market, investors chooses IEO'S since it's a guarantee that the project will be added to the exchange after the sale period was over, as lots of investors wanted to see quicker results and don't want to wait for another period before they will see the results.

The thing is, investors let the exchange decide for theme, I mean if a project is listed in a big exchange such as Binance, investors will automatically think that it's a good coin, so they'll buy it like they want to FOMO on it.

The latest coin that pump AFAIK is https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/harmony/, but slowly getting stable down now.

[fortunecrypto]

You have given us 6 reasons, actually, only two is enough as long as the investors will not complain of getting scam, but these are good reasons and  enough for them to make a shift, I feel sorry for good projects that cannot make an agreement on an exchange to do an IEO for them so instead they end up doing ICO.

[Anonylz]

Among the 6 reasons pointed out, i will only pick 3 that really makes IEO somewhat better than ICO,
*Secure
*Credible
*Accessible
This 3 reason mentioned imo makes ieo a bit better because the security is there, exchange are incharge of the ieo so there is no fear of falling into a scam project, credibility of the exchange carrying out the ieo also matters and most importantly the ability to be automatically listed on the exchange and trading will start is a very important reason unlike ico that will take much time before listed on an exchange.

That's called hype but even though sometimes the price just goes down after the IEO was done and listed in the exchanges some good coins could still hold their price or even making it higher.
In harmony case I think the fact that bitcoin has risen up so much in the past weeks contribute to the dumping of harmony rates just like another altcoins that share the same fate.

[SistaFista]

I think my main reason why IEO better than ICO is, we can trading the token in the exchange shortly after sale.
Investors will be more free, if they able to sell their coin at anytime they want to sell.
With this, investors who want to investing on other project, can immediately sell their coin to invest on other coins.

[delarossa]

I understand after saw your great infographics about advantages of IEO. But I guess the fraud from ICO is difficult to remove during the ICO system is there. Now we have an alternative to invest wisely to save our money.

[PuertoLibre]

This kind of information is not eligible for every trader in my opinion, the understanding level is not same for everyone as we know. IEOs can be better than ICOs in terms of return on the investment but it overqualified by everyone for the same reason.

[Darkoth89]

Yeah, for a lot of investors tokensales were just a tool for quick profits for a long time: Buy during the sale and immediately sell the tokens with a profit if possible. And with IEOs you don't have to wait for that possibility and wait for the team to get the tokens listed on any exchange..
.

[sarrpora]

This is a very interesting and controversial question. In my opinion, there are strong solution - both ICOs and IEOs, but of course, we should definitely have a look at every particular project. In my opinion, project should have high goals and should bring innovations along with bringing something new and convenient for the user. And of course, better when there are famous strategic partners etc. So do you guys have any upcoming/ongoing ICOs or IEOs you are following these days?

This is very true. Especially today, when there are more and more solutions on the market, it is very important to bring uniqueness. The project I would recommend you is Auditchain. Auditchain is the founding member of the DCARPETM Alliance and is leading the development of the world’s first Decentralized Continuous Audit & Reporting Protocol EcosystemTM for the digital asset and enterprise assurance and disclosure. For example, other member of the alliance are Shyft, aeternity, coineal and much more. You can just google to discover more. And yeah, I definitely recommend you to check more about them in the Internet And Auditchain is currently having an ongoing IEO on ExMarkets, guys are shoing amazing results so far - definitely recommend you to have a look at them, just Google or so

This is very true. Especially today, when there are more and more solutions on the market, it is very important to bring uniqueness. The project I would recommend you is Auditchain. Auditchain is the founding member of the DCARPETM Alliance and is leading the development of the world’s first Decentralized Continuous Audit & Reporting Protocol EcosystemTM for the digital asset and enterprise assurance and disclosure. For example, other member of the alliance are Shyft, aeternity, coineal and much more. You can just google to discover more. And yeah, I definitely recommend you to check more about them in the Internet And Auditchain is currently having an ongoing IEO on ExMarkets, guys are shoing amazing results so far - definitely recommend you to have a look at them, just Google or so

Hmm, this is very interesting. So seems that Auditchain should bring the innovations on business industry, but of course, I need to evaluate more. And will get back with my own thoughts after examining more about what they are bringing. Thanks for sharing

[H1N1]

They are better because they running on exchange platform, the better the exchange, the better it will inviting investors.
Many ICO were scam, investors were at loss. With IEO, we should not find scam project anymore in exchange, except the exchange itself is scam.

[restuibu]

I see ICO and IEO same, some IEOs manipulate the acquisition of funds on their platform
because most successful IEOs make everyone think that the IEO is better than the ICO

[rafajunior99]

This kind of information is not eligible for every trader in my opinion, the understanding level is not same for everyone as we know. IEOs can be better than ICOs in terms of return on the investment but it overqualified by everyone for the same reason.

I think it all depends, how the person sees and evaluates it, because in a person's mindset is not the same in the assessment that it is good or bad. Perhaps the current IEO is better than ICO, because there are many ICOs that disappoint investors, with ICO fraud at the time, so now everyone is thinking of switching to the IEO, which is clear that the project they are doing is already registered in the nayata trade.

[Sithara007]

I see ICO and IEO same, some IEOs manipulate the acquisition of funds on their platform

The problem is that nowadays we don't have any reliable crypto-exchanges. There was a time when I thought that Cryptopia was a reliable exchange. And we know what happened to that exchange. Bitfinex was another exchange that I had high hopes on. They are struggling after the recent hack and loss of assets from the Tether scandal. So my question is, how we can say that an IEO is better than ICO, when we don't have any reliable exchanges? For my part, I am staying away from both IEOs as well as the ICOs.

[rizkyfebrian213xx]

Wow really 80% ? Its much than I thought , I thought was just around 65% because I'm glad always found and participating on verified ICO projects and has verified team until now.
And yeah.. I agreed 100% with point on "Security" because IEO is like tokensale same as IEO but the difference is IEO directly launch on the exchanges which is safe than ICO with payment directly to ICO team wallets (Bitcoin , ETH , or Credit Cards) but sometimes or maybe necessary , if participating on IEO , we must do KYC on related exchanges which launch IEO there.

[Rasa nanas]

they should not do that. I understand the reason they do that is to get more money, but on the other hand it can also reduce investor confidence in the project.

[bitladen]

There are many reasons why people do not do ICO now, but IEO, but the most important reason is that now you can make good money on IEO, and in ICO it is very difficult to earn

[malekbaba]

IEO is better than ICO, in many ways. I just want to focus on specific issue. Exchange charges the project owner to conduct IEO. What happen if they dont add money into sellers account properly? What if the exchange scam the project owner. This happens with 7 projects in idax.Pro and cma is one of them

[igor.vanyutin.83]

The reasons are great but the statement that IEOs are cheaper than ICOs are simply silly. You are taking in consideration that you do not need to pay the gas fee, but where is the statement, that you need to hold at least 1k USD to be eligible to take part?

[Roukawa]

There are many reasons why people do not do ICO now, but IEO, but the most important reason is that now you can make good money on IEO, and in ICO it is very difficult to earn

One important reason why most if not all investors have much trust in IEO than ICO is the guaranteed exchange listing especially if they are doing their IEO in a bigger player exchange.

[Convery]

Your post is misleading, At first you are talking about how many ICOs gone and then you said that IEOs are secure, but meant as sending cryptocurrencies to wrong address. How many people did this?
I thought you made a statistics that shows that IEOs are less fraudulent than ICOs. 

[Bitze]

IEOs are currently simply preferred because the ICOs have a bad reputation after many bad projects and scams.
there is not much difference between the 2 procedures really. and a bad business you can also do with the IEO as an investor

[Onika84]

I think my main reason why IEO better than ICO is, we can trading the token in the exchange shortly after sale.
Investors will be more free, if they able to sell their coin at anytime they want to sell.
With this, investors who want to investing on other project, can immediately sell their coin to invest on other coins.

Some obstacles that investors often complain about when they invest in crypto; they can buy but don't know when they can sell. IEO makes everything feel easier and faster.

[umine]

I was very much interested in investing to such IEO. Thus, made me the urged to browse the internet and found some compelling informations. I found it very informative for some members here like me who are disoriented between IEO and ICO.

IEO is different to IEO. It generally depends on what exchange make IEO. You can read about Yobit IEO and get a lot of lulz
I think both of these investment methods are risky and each investor should know about it

[jackblacksparrow]

The most important argument is why IEO is more profitable than ICO, because at the moment it is possible to earn much more on IEO

[novy]

IEO is already starting to get less attraction from the community. Everyone see that it doesn't works as it should be from the start. Even some projects are moving away from approach. I like ICO more that IEO, this way project has control of all the token amount without sharing it with exchanges.

[TimeTeller]

The major problem with IEO is that it seems like few big whales can get in during that period.
Small-time investors don't have the chance to participate because they are sold out in few minutes especially in top exchanges.
So we don't know what is really going on, if there is manipulation within their system or what?
In this case, some investors are going away because of the disappointment they got from those experiences.

Despite the popularity of IEO right now, many small investors are quiting them. The problem of IEO is that the token sale is too much low compared to the tokens held by dev and management. In short, there is only limited time frame to buy the tokens from exchange. And since whales want to manipulate the project, they buy big bucks of coin so that they can sell when it listed already. Another thing is that, there are ICO projects that turned into IEO which have slower price than public sale. I have been disappointed also on what happening with IEO right now.

[OneCoinMan]

I do not think that these phenomena are very different from each other. These are just different names for one thing: collecting money. 
What matters is not how projects collect money. It is important what projects it is. A successful team will always come to success, and the scammers will always find a way to cheat

I think there are fundamental differences between ICO and IEO. Exchangers holding an IEO must filter out the projects being sold because this involves the reputation of the exchanger. And also listing on the market is faster for new projects when using the IEO method

It seems like every IEO on an exchanger must be limited to purchases. There is a maximum limit for every person to buy it and also on some exchangers, giving several conditions so that members can buy tokens sold by the IEO.

[Zidan Bst]

That is true IEO is better than ICO.
ICO has a lot of weakness , while IEO is more secure and trusted by investors.

[Anonylz]

That is true IEO is better than ICO.
ICO has a lot of weakness , while IEO is more secure and trusted by investors.

They both have their weakness, IEO base on it's structure supposed to be more secure because they are conducted by exchanges, but i heard Idax have been accuse of scaming and manipulating the CMA IEO carried out on their exchange,
in the cma medium post, it appears other project also experience same treatment, the victims are planning to take legal action against idax exchange, so now am beginning to wonder how secure are IEO's?
Are there hidden agenda people don't know about yet?

[andrearz]

That is true IEO is better than ICO.
ICO has a lot of weakness , while IEO is more secure and trusted by investors.

but only a few large markets are trusted to invest in the IEO because in a small market there are only a few investors who want to invest there and do not provide guarantees for profit.

[galestorm]

Both are beneficial, but let's just face it that IEO is much more secure and reliable. Basically, anyone can launch an ICO, as long as you have a whitepaper to convince the potential investors to put funds into your project. Whereas IEO requires the project team to meet and comply with the exchange’s requirements in order to launch the token sale. Contributors are, therefore, protected by the exchange. This decreases the number of scam projects and raises the probability of legitimate projects to introduce their promised technology to the public.

[Zemomtum]

The comparison is not the way it was painted, the difference is just slightly. Some unqualified exchanges are just accepting any project to list on their platform as IEO to gain membership and have average volume in order to appear on coinmarket cap. Don't be tricked that exchanges do any due diligent before listing, they are more interested in increasing user's base and volume than looking at the integrity of the project. There are lot of IEO that are even worst than ICO, you buy on exchange and the project roadmap will not be followed, explorer will not be managed and the exchange itself will be force to delist such projects. The project owner's has dump on exchange, catch out the capital and ran away,. Infact, IEO is the simplest form to scam now because users will put their trust on exchange and FOMO in. All in all, do your own diligent by looking at the team competency as relates to their background, the essence of the project itself, what problem is it solving that has not been solved in crypto space or what is it doing better? Is the roadmap realistic or too good to believe?

[LiquorBan]

One of the reasons I pick IEOs ahead of ICO is because fake projects is eliminated, many people unfortunately have lost thousands to millions of dollars in ICO frauds and there is no way to recover those funds but with IEO, one will be certain his funds for sure.

[ilovealtcoins]

The IEO offers greater, safer returns but also means that it will be more difficult to join the IEO than the ICO.
In the recent market-wide uptrend, the IEO has contributed greatly to bringing big profits to investors.  That brought cash flow back to the market.  That great merit must include Binance and Houbi.  In the near future, it is certain that IEO is the main trend in capital mobilization of projects.

[Impaler]

Yeah the ICO market was almost dead. Most of them are not performing well. But after ieo came the whole fundraising market was changed again. Cause ieos are far more trusted than ICOs. Many bigbnames are with it. So people who thinks that ICO means scams and failed project they also started to invest. I know there in ieonmarket had some scam. At this point bof timeb OST of them are good for investment.But still do your own research band then invest.

Not all IEOs provide big profits but I agree that IEO is safer than ICO and sooner get listing on market. I think, the difficulty when joining the IEO is only in the KYC process but the rest is very easy and safe.

[Barracuda]

Right now the IEO is better than the ICO. And everyone is happy with the IEO now. Plus, if the IEO is carried out in large markets. Of course investor enthusiasm is very high. But ICO is actually still feasible, if you find a good project to invest.

[Malamok101]

As i see lot of ICO turn to IEO the good thing is IEO is worth it and so many investors attract to IEO and willing to invest. So many projects for now are good because of IEO plans, as the past ICO not profitable anymore because many of them are totaly scam at all.

[Crypt0BHunter]

Nice infographic, it's very interesting to post from medium here, and take merits, well done!

[farraddy]

The very ideas of projects that are carried out by IEO are not better and not worse than ICO projects. Just the mechanism of the IEO causes investors more confidence because ICO has recently lost popularity due to scams.

[uniquark]

This kind of information is not eligible for every trader in my opinion, the understanding level is not same for everyone as we know. IEOs can be better than ICOs in terms of return on the investment but it overqualified by everyone for the same reason.

IEO does not need to learn much before investing, just choose big exchange to invest in projects that sell tokens on it. It's simple, but the current situation of overcrowding is also the part that many people cannot afford to buy

Yes, and here IEO if the project is bad and in the future it will not be used by the community. Investing in IEO is also difficult as in ICO. No matter what the name and the way to invest money is to look for promising projects.

[tansaneehongkao]

ICO is a failure thats why they come up with solution and that was IEO, many projects have been successful because of IEO.

[Tarion]

The "fact" that IEOs are cheaper simply because you do not need to pay the gas fee is just silly. If you want to take part in a good IEO on Huobi, you need to hold at least 1500 USD from their own token, just to be eligible for a lottery.

[suryana]

 In my opinion, a project that takes an IEO line can make investors more confident in the project, because investors think they are buying tokens that are already on the market and provide the investor convenience. They buy not directly on the project but on the third party, IEO.

[zaxifu]

This was very successful for a while. Billions of dollars were injected into the world of altcoins through ICOs. Due to Fake and fraudulent ICOs left investors in the lurch, which meant genuine projects were soon facing more difficulties during the funding and marketing stages. That's why the initial exchange offering (IEO) was born, offering a significant improvement over the ICO model.

Reasons why IEO is better than ICO.

1.The Role of the Exchange.
2.How to Review and Analyze an IEO.
3.Research.
4.Documentation and Development.
5.Exchanges.
6.Form of Payment.

If you are going to invest these are some IEO's.

1.GlobalChainZ
2.Moozicore
3.AIGO Protocol

[Nezerlan]

initially, ICO was a great way for projects to raise funds. But as it is, 95% of projects that raised funds during ICOs are basically dead. Only a few are still running their business today. Most of the devs have absconded with investor funds after hitting roadblocks in their roadmaps   

[b1boy]

This is an extremely intriguing and disputable topic . As I would like to think, there are solid arrangement - both ICOs and IEOs, obviously, we should examine each specific project. As I would see it, project ought to have high objectives and ought to carry advancements alongside bringing something new and advantageous for the client. What's more, obviously, better when there are celebrated key accomplices and so on. So do you all have any up and coming/progressing ICOs or IEOs you are following nowadays?

[bitcon]

Not all IEOs provide big profits but I agree that IEO is safer than ICO and sooner get listing on market. I think, the difficulty when joining the IEO is only in the KYC process but the rest is very easy and safe.

At least, they promise real profits and do not speak about millions of dollars waiting for the investors. Each IEO is controlled by the exchange, and scam projects are not let to the market. Thus, guys, who invest in them can be sure that they will be not deceived. Finally, everything is simpler and more clear than in the case with ICOs which can disappear soon.

[dataispower]

This should be the best infographic I've seen on comparison between ICO and IEO. The difference is crystal clear. For me, the best thing about IEO is that the team will be verified by the exchange, although I still do some checks on the team. Secondly, the coin will list without long waiting period.

[42K]

IEOs carry some risks as ICO but is quite less than the latter. Currently, IEOs are working hard to become the best medium for investors to invest their coins. I think the reason why IEOs are better than ICO is that IEOs are secured, accessible and cheaper.

[Youghoor]

These six reasons sounds undoubtably true but for my personal observations, I don't really see any differences between ICO and IEO. I see IEO as a rebranding of ICO which usually can not predict the success of the project. In my opinion, IEO was invented just to make investors to come back into investing in crypto projects with the assurance that they are not gonna lose their capital.  IEO has the same risk factors as ICO.

Indeed there is no significant comparison. Only the sales method differs between IEO and ICO. But most people now believe more in investing in the IEO. What distinguishes it is people's trust in the ICO and the IEO now. And for the success of a project also determined from good or not and added whether investors want to invest in the project in question.

[motun01]

IEOs are simply more verified aim initially they get assessed independent from anyone else and they get assessed by exchanges, where the IEOs are hold. Incidentally, would you say you are mindful of any good projects in here? There are a few good projects out there and i think reputable exchanges should not only consider money when choosing projects to launch an IEO for

[coino.org]

There are multiple reasons and one of the is that IEO is listing next day on exchange and there is much more liquidity, so it is less risky for you!

[minersday]

Definitely, IEO is far better than ICO looking at the success rate of  IEO within a short period of time in the crypto ecosystem.  With IEO, investors can easily monitor how the sales of the project is going so far and also determine the progress rate of the project. ICO should be kicked out of the crypto crowdfunding system.

[@prashant]

Trust is the biggest factor as majority of ico are scam so people avoid investing in it and second is best thing about IEO that you will get your token at exact same time and market is generally available after ico end.

[Ryan Dugan]

People need to start learning how to catch a scam and not fall for it or even worse fall to their own greed.
I think IEO will not solve that problem. It will make things safer dor legit projects and exchanges to build a good rep and then even clueless people can follow them and reduce their chance of losing.

Don't enough for IEO 6 reasons. From 2018 everyday people losing their funds because invest in scam ICO. 80%-90% ICO was scammed, IEO is helping to build strong society in cryptocurrency world.

People gamble too much and have themselves to blame when they fall for a scam most of the time. If you educate yourself you won't lose your money to many scams.

[Gi01]

In as much that IEO was introduced to fix the flaws seen in ICO, I don't really see much difference between IEO and ICO. So far so good, IEO is currently working perfect but I don't see it been better than ICO. It might be slightly different from ICO but that doesn't qualifies it to be better than ICO. IEO is just okay but not better than ICO.
