What will be the new method of "Initial offering" this year?

[joeperry]

I don't think the Hype on the IEO started there are some projects that still on go with the ICO also I don't know what's the advantage of having an IEO an assurance for an exchange let's say that the project is valuable it would be a good choice to buy in IEO for sure that when it was listed it will gain more profit.

However what if the project is a late bloomer or not worth it for sure most will buy when it is listed and not on the IEO itself or maybe I missed the point of the IEO?  

[Alns]

I dont think that we will see a lot of IEO/ICO in this year. Situiaton is not so good for any forms on initial offering

[ampere]

To be honest i do not think anyone is willing to hodl or run a special crowdfunding program this year.
Almost everyone has wised up, and i can tell that even investors do not gamble with their funds anymore.

I think if any project is going to conduct a crowdfunding system, its going to be the usuals, ieo on top rank exchanges or an ico on their respective platform.
And to be honest, only a true top notch project with the blockchain ideology can succeed in a crowdfunding this year.

[Goldada]

This year seems to be a dull one in crypto. It all started well though but now, nothing is just happening. I believe some projects that cane with the hope of ICO and IEO are drawing back. Truth is, ICO is going into extinction and I doubt anybody invests in ICOs now. The only investments I see now is on IEOs and that's for good and reputable exchanges.

I still do not see any format coming up this year when it comes to project fundraising. Anyway, the year is very much fresh.

2020 ,  IEO is still great way in my opinion.
But needs improvement, especially from the exchange. today there are many exchanges that falsify their IEO data to attract Project Developers.

Yes, and I don't think there should be any improvement for IEO, because indirectly we are all required to stay away from all small exchanges, especially those that have been proven to be scams, so in this case the project developer must put their IEO on a good exchange, not on a small exchange.

[Shallow]

Well, people keeps innovating or bringing up new ideas while the crypto space keeps getting better and better. Also, it is true IEOs or ICOs always favours some people while some might be victims of scams etc. Actually as it stands now, IEO seems to be the best method for now as there is no scams if done on good exchanges unlike in ICOs. STOs on the other hand, hasn't been too good as only few projects are using the method, with little recorded success. Nevertheless, let's keep our fingers crossed as well expect new things.

[Anonylz]

Now that the possibility of ico coming back is very slim, i think ieo will still remain the only alternative for project to lunch their Initial Offering, because for now i can see any other alternative, except someone came up with a new idea,
although even ieo are not doing as good as they should, some project are not able to succeed even with ieo, so i believe project owners and dev will start looking for an alternative to this, less interest to invest this days.

Well, everyone was saying that these lending platforms were the new opportunity to earn, not so much ICO or IEO, but it was guaranteed safe and all that, lending money and earning interest.

But after all the problems of MakerDAO what I predicted came true. Everything falls apart eventually when greed and profit are the driving factors.

[bgaf]

Also a good source but this isnt a crowdfunding type where projects can generate funds. Lending is sure win to give you rewards but compared it to the profits earned from joining famous IEO on such exchange cant be compared. In terms of crowdfunding, the important one is the ability to collect funds, either by good strategy or a potential platform. IEO bring us hype, admit it, but not all listed have good platform, they are just money maker for those are investors that always participate.

true, many ieo are not very good too, even though they are listed on a large exchange, but many have a strategy to attract investors' trust, and after that there is no meaningful development. ieo is indeed safer than ico, but in its development I feel it has not yet reached its satisfying goal

[cytpoway121]

So far it has been a quiet year 2020 in the crypto currency space.
perhaps idea are coming left and right as to the perfect method or chance to hodl crowdfunding.

Last year it was sto that was rumoured and it failed woefully, and even imo ended up a fraudulent one as well.
and this year there has been few ieos on p2p2b2 and also on probit.
But there hasn't been a new method for crowdfunding.

Do you have an idea of a type ?

[Findingnemo]

No more new offerings, that is the end of new shit projects. Maybe private sales will become more popular again which is only worth investing if more community members are available for those projects and strongly believes in the potential of that project.

Private sales are good, because there are rarely scammers. But the problem is that they don't accept investors like us. It requires significant amounts of investment. Therefore, they cannot be called projects for everyone.
I think there should be some proposals for the usual crowd of small investors.

[nelson4lov]

IEO is still the answer, it doesn't need small exchanges though, if you are a developer and you want a successful fund raising it's better you go for top exchanges, success of IEO comes from quality exchanges, it's this simple as that

It's not as simple as you may think. Let's not forget the fact that it's quite hard for an existing platform/startup to get listed on top exchanges not to talk of IEO startups. The risks associated with just picking any project and supporting them is too much especially now that the SEC and other relevant authorities are on the lookout for new projects.

For the reminder of the year, I think IEOs would still lead the pack as IEO brings trust between the investors and the startups unlike ICOs, where trust was heavily lacking.

I am sure that this year the crypto market will not only recover, but will also be able to present us with an opportunity to earn. In 2017 and 2018, ICO were very popular - this is when new projects themselves raised funds, and then were placed on exchanges and brought (or did not bring) profit to their investors. In 2019, IEO became popular - this is when new projects entered into agreements with exchanges that raised funds and subsequently opened trading pairs with the coins of these projects.
All the people who started investing at the time of the popularity of ICO and IEO were able to earn good money.
What do you think will be the new "Initial offering" method this year?
It seems to me that this year nothing new will be invented and towards the end of the summer new IEO's will gain popularity.

If there will be something new, then it will no longer be IEO but will have another name given to it.
Also, what makes you think that the market is not likely to recover this year. The main factor I am considering is how fast te CoronaVirus issue is resolved. If it comes fast, then the market would recover fast. If it doesn't, anything can happen. However, I believe investing now that the prices of most cryptocurrencies are low, will be a good decision.

[CHENIEN]

at present, there's something dreadful happening into the crypto market,  but it can be considered as a good example and guide for real as a challenge, because of this,  people have come to such a high level,  and I know that there's is a repeat of the fact that they counteract what is going to happen, this year I guess IEO will be at the forefront and one of the most popular methods of distribution.

[senin]

Forget new method mate, we ain't gonna see any new one anytime soon, moreover what's wrong with IEO? Not good enough? It doesn't matter which fundraising idea got introduced, what we need is good quality projects

New ICO and IEO projects will begin to work well and will be in demand after states check their team members, register them and issue licenses for this type of activity. This can actually solve the problem with trust in these projects and significantly reduce the level of fraud among them. There will still be good ICO projects, however, this type of activity needs to be streamlined, clear rights and obligations of the parties must be defined, and the FATF recommendations of June 21 last year regarding the application of the KYC audit should be observed.

You have a point here, initially when a new trend is about to kick of, it starts getting noticed like some months before the end of the year. That's how ICO came into the community, it started in 2016 but got popularized in 2017 same thing happened to IEO as if you have been following the market closely you would had observed few IEO getting launched in 2018 but it became a trend in 2019 but we didn't observe any new trend at the end of 2019 meaning the possibility of anything new becoming a trend in regards to crowdfunding is quit minimum although seems many investors have learnt their lessons and must likely won't be that gullible to fall for this quick money tricks anymore.

2020 is more of a year of the cryptocurrency market recovering as the coins with vital development and upgrades like bitcoin and ethereum will lead the charts. Don't get decieve with the market current situation, it has nothing to do with the industry as the general economy is suffering a meltdown that even the cryptocurrency market couldn't escape most especially as the industry is been govern by emotions

Yes, this is certainly very clearly seen that this year the IEO is still at the forefront because it is still well-liked and trusted by all crypto groups, both from investors, as well as bounty hunters, so it is very natural that IEO is still at the forefront of this year.

[minairia3]

I think IEO regime will continue as there are no alternative effective ways that could generate funds than the overwhelming improvement of crowdfunding source. I am sure that only few investors now are trusting ICO since the inception of the aforementioned mentioned method. When Binancr launched their one or two projects and ROI have seen, other exchanges follow through and an the market trend grows immensely.

If there will be something new, then it will no longer be IEO but will have another name given to it.

Nope, I cant see any other method that can surpass the capability of IEO to produce results. Yeah its kinda, risky too but ICO can never toppled this method on this current era, in addition, I think none as of this moment can generate same bread as this. Maybe trading futures but thats required knowledge to every users.
