Are IEO's bad?

[nanaimogold]

IEOs are not bad, the bad aspect is what you mentioned here;  people focus more on the exchange listing the project, then FOMO and forget about what the actual project has to offer. It's clear that IEOs done on credible exchanges like Binance, Kucoin and OKEX sell very fast because investors are confident that the team members have been verified thoroughly by the exchange and the coin will be listed fast. I will strongly encourage everyone to look deep on what the project has to offer, the product or MVP, the token economics and other vital aspects before buying into any token sale.

The advent of IEO makes investors do little research as they know some of the task are done by the exchange itself already.
They trust the exchange, so they trust their judgment, that's why some coins after IEO pump in Binance because people love Binance so much as they can trade blindly thinking a project is good as Binance listed it.

That's correct. People believe and trust the judgement of certain exchanges like Binance, OKEx and Huobi when it comes to choosing the best cryptocurrency projects for fund raising. The invest knowing that exchange listings, reputable team and partners have been assured. However, the frenzy is gradually dying down because in the end profit to investors is what matters most and many of them are not getting as much as thought or planned

IEO's are much safer than ICO's, especially if done in a good exchange. Exchanges have an image to watch out for, they can't make the mistake of approving bad or scam projects.

That's true, people invest not primarily because on how good the project is but on how good the exchange that will sell the coin in IEO.
Binance and Houbi get more investors because they are the most popular exchange in the market, and if they make mistake, investors know they will loss more than investors loss when investing in an ICO as these exchanges are billion dollar exchanges and making millions from fees alone.

Most IEO only raise millions, so exchanges would not risk their billions just for these millions.
That's the simple analysis why investors prefer to risk their money investing in IEO in bigger exchanges.

The reputable exchanges also want to list the good coins than wasting time with the shitcoin projects. Developers also understand the key facts, they must improve their business idea for listing on the Binance IEO. The big exchanges don't want to list the useless projects, I also agree with their management at this point. Approving bad projects will raise some questions by the social media users(investors) regarding the bad reputation and delisting requests will appear sooner or later. If we compare the IEOs on different exchanges it becomes simple choosing the low reward IEOs. Investors worry about investing in the IEO because there is no guarantee which projects will worth to invest. The low reward IEOs have to be reinstated if the team want to fascinate more investors to the project.

If they are taking place on a good exchange then no, they could be very profitable. But if they are taking place on an exchange outside from top 10, you can just forget about your money, because they are ending without any success.

[mr-coin]

We shouldn't think about exchange rather than the project. This bad idea, and not good way to invest, big exchange gives the project trust, many go to invest due to this project for example in binance, and forget to research about the project.

[slashz9]

if you compare it with ICO at this time IEO is better, both of them maybe can attrac people but ico has more potential to scam other.
but IEO can also make rekt people, while it hit market, the price is drop faster,not all market provide good ieo.
and for now IEO already less desirable, will ICO will take it back? or another way for collect money for fund raising a project

[seanskie18]

IEO's not bad all the time, but it is risky investment. However, IEO is better than ICO because it is more attractive to investors and it is very good on raising money to the project. If the IEO will be joined to the top exchanges, I'm pretty sure that investors will gain a lot of profits.

[valuater]

for those who are registered on a small launchpad I think a lot is bad it's just for a large launchpad for example binance, houbi, bitforex or others I feel safe so if you want to follow ieo I think it's better to just focus on big launchpad.

Even though we all know IEO investment is a risky one just like ICO. But the main problem in this system is that most often projects that want to do IEO on certain exchanges outside of the top 3, they get rekt because all the other exchanges use a lot of fake volumes to be on CMC's top list and their IEO fees are so high that we have seen many projects have been destroyed by paying those fees and end up collecting less than 10% of their target amount.

[Ben Shedly]

I do not believe IEO after several failures. Major exchanges specifically inflated the price of new projects to attract new fools. Small exchange often cheat their investors and not to give them money.
So it turns out that one way or another all the IEO is based on deception, and it's not the best place to make money.

[sieemma]

IEOs aren't bad in the sense that the risk of people not getting what they have paid for is reduced and also coins get automatically listed on the exchange that is doing the IEO which is by far better than icos where the team would have to request for listing for another waiting months.

[whtchocla7e]

Although IEO carries many risks, it is still much better than ICO. One thing for sure in IEO is the tight listing with the exchange, which gives investors peace of mind about the liquidity.

True as you said, ico, ieo and sto are the three methods carried out by project developers to sell their tokens so far, but of course the three methods have advantages and disadvantages of each, so if we compare between ico, ieo or sto, then ieo is a bit safer for us to invest in a project and of course with the existence of this IEo can again make developers more responsible in developing their tokens in market exchanger.

[kidbounty]

IEO is not bad, it's just that there are too many exchanges that make lunchpad. so investors are confused about which exchange they want to use. especially now that new projects prefer IEO, to collect development funds rather than ICO. too many exchanges and new projects. this is the problem now, because only IEO in the large exchange has a chance of success.

[tonyja2017]

Both the ICO and the IEO operate in the same way.  But IEO is considered an upgrade of the ICO when the ICO is gradually dying in the market because there are so many scammer.  IEO will protect all benefits for you if you have any doubts about that.

[Zdraste16]

Both ICOs and IEOs can make a profit and also result in a loss.  IEO has a difference in that the project is initially monitored by the exchange to which the IEO project token goes.  Exchanges like BINANCE are most likely to value their reputation and will not conduct IEO dubious projects.  Regarding the ICO, the situation is a little different, you need to do the study of the project yourself, since the probability of the success of the project or not worth contacting depends on it.

If you want to go for the larger exchanges, then be ready to pay huge amounts as listing fee. Exchanges such as Binance and Huobi are asking insane amounts as listing fees. From what I have heard, Huobi is charging a few million USD per listing and the fee charged by Binance is in the same range. And the promoters will be losing this amount if the fundraising ends in failure.

[MMA Rats]

IEO is not bad, but recently IEO projects have been making less and less profit, but so far it makes sense to do them

[nicecrypto]

Ieo are not bad at all, intact it is much safer way to invest in a project than ico imo, with ieo you are sure your investment is protected and a guaranteed exchange for trading, unlike some ico that you stand the chance to lose your money if the team decided to be greedy, also can take a very long time before listing on an exchange.

Binance doesn't require any listing fees but rather they do choose up the coin according on a strict criteria

Listing out on big and top exchangers wont really be that easy- if you were not able to pay up millions then you do need for your coins to be worthy to get listed.

This is the main reason or difference between IEO and ICO that's why majority of investors would see IEO is more better yet exchange listing do directly happens.
