6 Reasons why IEO is better than ICO

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I also liked the old format more, but the market trends are constantly changing and we have to adjust to the new formats

[bitsurfer2014]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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
