Listing VS IEO

What do you think are the advantages of doing an IEO vs simply listing a token in a exchange?

Simple, IEO will basically raise funds to keep the project going though sometimes projects got their own funds but needed more when it comes to listing, mostly these projects are done with their sale, or they have a working project with high budget that they can even list to exchanges, most likely the same since once they are done with IEO they will be listed on that exchange.

The advantages of IEO ( can be applied only on the major exchange site IEO)
- Instant listing
- instant demand
- a big pump at early game

The advantages of Listing token in a major exchange site

- Give more fundamental support and community
- That means the project has already proven its product to be a reliable product
- many more.
- Long term hype or sustainable pump

Let's just say that IEO is the inial launch of the fund raising for the project. The advantage is that most likely they will get an exchange immediately once the project have reached their target goal and released all the tokens/coins. The downside is that investors will probably judge your project based on the exchange that you used to launch your IEO

If what you mean in "simply listing a token in a exchange" is ICO, then there's no advantage to it. It just simply raising and hyping the coin then get into an exchange. The quality of an exchange isn't even guaranteed.

For me IEO is a better than simple listing but we cant compare much for these two. In IEO token or project has been display or promoted by the exchange showing its strenght by displaying their tough platform. Simply like Binance completely presenting their project worldwide and the demand is highly appreciated. But for direct listing, we can also see good news with it. See how solana pump even though its not an IEO but only for listing. I can say on other exchange IEOs are not working efficiently but based on my statement on big exchange IEO is much appreciated and highly effective. But its your own opinion to believe me or not.

why do you think that this is an advantage? i do not see it that way, since big pump usually brings some kind of dump after that and then users accusing both, project and exchange for a scam, and in some way that is a scam, since exchange is listing project that has no product, just an idea, and without obligation to spend acquired money on development, usually that are just best wishes, only advantage of IEO compared to ICO is that you have possibility to trade your token when you acknowledge that project is failing, if other do not see that before

I'll go for listing instead of IEO, Listing on big exchanges bring about some sort of believe into the project, it indirectly means the project is doing something right as reputed exchange want to associate themselves with the project by listing them on their market. Atleast that's the message it passes across, listing brings in more long term investors and encourages the early investor to believe more in the project. But that can't be said about IEOs.

Although both IEO and listing has more to do with which project is ready to pay the outrageous service fee offered by the exchange to get a spot either for an IEO or listing still though, IEO has the disadvantage of bringing in mostly speculators, short term investors and gamblers chasing after the hype this new means of fundraising offers. Both creates awareness and bring about exposure to the project, but the type of Investors it attract is all that matters.

sales, they are selling their tokens to exchange user's having this IEO + promotion of that exchange that may help them to have more sales.
While listing will only give them ability to trade it in that exchange the announcement  will only be limited that coins is traded there .

Both are the same, it will only differ on how investors looked on the project, people like to see a project listed on a good exchange, whether it's an IEO or regular listing but there is a lot of hype when a project is doing an IEO than doing regular listing.

[TanakabZX]

Listing a coin or token is different from IEO, but IEO packed the two in one, with IEO you will raise fund and still list on the exchange where you raised fund after IEO is over

[Free1bitco.in]

it has the advantages of each. to do IEO, it costs money. however, it costs money to sell to a market and to list as well. the advantage of IEO is that, for initial sales, it can attract investors to trust the project more. it's just, we can't trade before the IEO is finished. if you register directly, your project will be ready to be developed and traded.

[Mighty_crypt]

IEO is more costly than normal listing, IEO has two chocolates in a single box, listing and fund raising, that's two advantages against just normal listing but I don't know why you put them head to head, no big difference

ICO investors want fast profits, it really worked in 2017. Now most of ICO failed and investors can't get profit from ICO so they turn to IEO. Holding an ICO now is not a smart idea because there is no buyers. All investors now only look for good IEO to invest in. I must say that ICO now is the past.

[FrozenBit]

With IEO, you can raise money to develop a project. And can just list your project at that exchange. But this is only suitable for start-up projects, and it's risky. IEO may fail and no one will trade it

[Greatchu]

IEO wins here because of the many advantages over listing, you can raise fund successfully and easily, the disadvantage here is going small exchange for IEO which can ruin every chance if success

[Little Mouse]

With IEO you can get successful Fundraising while with a simple ICO you will face a lot of problem to that. People now more trust IEO project than ICO. In addition, IEO ensures a sure listing while most ICO refuses to list in big Exchange.

The success or failure of fundraising cannot be seen from their method of conducting IEO or ICO, many projects that run IEO but failed.
IEO only secures the listing.

The question or debate here isn't about IEO vs ICO instead IEO vs listing (that's listing on a certain exchange after completing your ICO or IEO on other exchange or simply carrying out an IEO on that particular exchange you intend or have plans on enrolling to be listed).

Just read the reply of others hoping to get another perspective to the discussion at hand but it seems not many is understanding the OPs questions nevertheless I still stand on my existing school of thought of; (using Binance as an example), Listing on Binance than carrying out an IEO on the platform. Others project experience is a perfect lesson on how IEOs projects suddenly get dump immediately after listing.

Using the example of the Binance cryptocurrency exchange, you can see that projects after IEO are listed on the same platform fairly quickly and are rewarded with the interest of investors and, as a result, a large volume of trading. While a regular listing often doesn't attract as much attention to the coin. Often, the coin has long been traded on a large exchange and added to a smaller exchange, and the interest of investors in this case is relatively small, compared to the first option.

Project Team only do IEO because of funds, sometimes they might have funds from private investors then doing IEO again to collect more so as to be able to finish their development; that is to say, IEO forms a palatable ground where team can source for funds, after the IEO comes listing. On the other hand, simply listing on an exchange can come in different ways, it could be through IEO, or a project already on an exchange seeking to list on another exchange. Also, listing can happen when a team already have access to funds, therefore not seeing the need for IEO, in this case, they list on their desired exchange.
