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

[Chuky92]

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.

Finding a cure for this virus is the highest thing on everyone's mind because it is someone who is alive that can think of any innovation. Many people are still buying more bitcoin, USDT and even moving to fiat so as to be on the right side if situation gets worst. Also, with the current nature of the world I do not think there will be a new method of Initial offering this year as no one is ready for it. And moreover, IEO is still serving a good purpose thus I just imagine what the new method will offer.

No more form of token sales please, at first we need to be sure that cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin has a sense, real use case, real user base, then we can think about another projects, another investment opportunities.

IEO is good but bad exchanges too it upon themselves to corrupt the process by listing scam project in other to just gain money from the team and scam investors of their money. Idax, vandax, Pb2Pb2, Idax, BW and the host of others are conspirators. I think this year will be for the real use case project since investors are wiser now.

Only those who have previously invested in very risky ICO projects invest on such exchanges. There is a category of people who have a very weak mind and therefore they believe in the promise of big earnings and time after time lose their money, while they convince themselves that they are simply not lucky.

They are the ones who buy into these schemes and get scammed off their money or go down an unending spiral of downtrend in the market while holding on to a shitcoin whose owners told their investors to f-- off and go away. Thats how this ICO thing works and has worked till date. People want to take the risk of money money but do not know the consequences or the legal aspects of such sales.

But the trend has reduced to some extent in the recent years and I hope to see a gradual regulation about crypto and its sales along with exchanges who are running IEOs or asking for huge sums of money for listing coins.

[Doranile432]

We aren't going to see any new type of ICO this year, look what's happening presently with this pandemic, even new projects are put on hold for now, few I knew very well have stop launch for now until further notice

[irixo10]

From the way things are, I think we might not be expecting anything soon, people are already caught up with many things and choices. On the other hand, IEO don't seems to be slowing down anytime soon as majority of those conducted on good exchanges have been giving their investors good return, although not much in some cases but still good enough to be grateful. Therefore, since IEO is still working, investors will need a very good reason to let go for another which as it stands isn't forthcoming or not yet seen.

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.

I'm not expecting a new way of crowdfund will be invented as I haven't seen anything better than IEO.
With IEO, the project will be listed right after the Crowdsale, that's what investors are looking, they wanted to know right away if they will make profit or not and there are early investors also who wants to sell right away as they enjoyed a good bonus during the crowdsale.

In overall this year, IEO is not yet profitable, maybe this is because the market is not bullish yet.

[maydna]

We will see it soon. I guess the team still searching for about the new method that they will use. But even though the initial offering will be different than the last year, the idea will be the same, which is gathering the investor and collect their money to support the project. I think the new method will come out as soon as the bull run come or perhaps, before the bull run happens, one or more project will launch the different type of the old method. And that will attract the investors to invest with them. The old times will come with the new style

If bull season will occur this year then ICO's,STO's and IEO's are still available option for project owner because in bull season it is not that hard to gather some funding as the investors are very active. What you need to make sure is you can present a better project that has a better user-case that will likely to dominate the market in the long run.

But as you can see IEO's are very familiar as of this moment because of the market situation that we are still almost at the bottom, let's just hope that the market will shift as soon as possible so we can see a lively market again where project owners can easily reach their goal.

[ballerin and giroud]

I know why the investor there were not interested to ICO because there were many problem like project scam so they're leaved this way. But in IEO, was there a problem? The project will be far from scam because the investor will only chooss a good exchange to spend their money to IEO project that will be save. But why this way was leaved? I think we should find the answer first before we have an imagine to find another way to promote new project beside IEO and ICO.

There were already burst of scams of ICOs back in 2018, and I believe they started to disappear slowly that year because it doesn't seem like investors would look for more ICOs any further.
I've seen quite a lot of threads here before in the same board about those questions repeatedly.
Not sure if hype on IEOs is still the same as last year though, but from bounties I can see it seems it still have a moderate hype to it.

[forexandcryptoauditor]

There was another method which is not popular, called TGE i.e. token generation event.
From my point of view, there are very less chances something new will evolve. To recover cryptocurrencies market, it will be June if pandemic is over and almost half year is gone.
There was another method which was used rarely but was successful for that project is initial auction offering.VELIC exchange was able to raise enough funds with it. Many upcoming projects can try this method. So let see how it goes in near future.

[Banadony]

there is a project Known as IMO Exchange that came up with a scintillating mode of fund raising but they failed out been a scam method. although they borrowed the IEO method, they were successful with they way they raise funds but unfortunately, they scammed investors of their money. the new mode of fund raising is to meet capitalist investment platform.

[South Park]

I find interesting that people put that much attention to the method projects use to get funds when that is completely irrelevant, whatever method the developers use to try to get funds at the end the purpose behind it is the same and it should not be relevant when deciding in which project to invest, what matters the most is if the project is good at all, and with a significant percentage of all the projects in the market being scams or projects with no future it is not surprising that most projects fail regardless of whether they use an ICO, IEO, STO or something else to get their funding.

IEO is what a lot of people think will successfully replace the ico. Even though this is true, the result is still not different. A lot of people are not interested in investing in new project but rather invest in already existing coin and as we all are passing through the global pandemic, I see no hope for investment in new project this year

It is because of investors never look IEO projects are worthy of their trust as once ruin by ICO before. We can blame them either as they had a bad experience making them ignore new projects that considering those who already have a working product in the market. It is gonna be a good idea by then and it gives assurance than risking their money to IEO or ICO promotion.

[shaheer001]

You are absolutely right mate! I think the Q4 of 2020 will recover the market and in next year we will again see ICO and IEO combined as the market stabilize the investor trust increases and investors take part in ICO and IEO.

[ElmedoRator]

How can you believe that the market can recover this year? We are facing a global economic collapse, and if that happens, the entire market will surely collapse in the next 2-3 years. And if the market can recover like you said, then ICOs and IEOs will not be able to recover like before, investors are much smarter and more alert.

[alexforneus]

In so hard days we wont see much of new initial offerings i guess

New projects had already a huge problem trying to get enough funding for their projects even when the market was growing now that it is not moving much and the economy as a whole is not improving then this is going to get worse for them, but at the end of the day they are the only ones that are responsible for this, there are thousands of new coins released every year and probably less than 5% of those projects are worthy of your investment, when that percentage is so low we cannot blame investors when they decide to keep their money and their bitcoins instead of investing in those coins that most likely have no future at all.
