Topic: IEO can be a safer investment option than ICO (Read 2204 times)
Considering the fact that the crowdfund is in the coffers of a third party which in this case is the cryptocurrency exchange who serves as an Escrow, there's less to worry about. IEO is more appreciated when the exchange is a reputable and popular exchange like the global exchange who are concerned about the longevity of the platform and would carry out the function in good faith.
Sure, IEO is more saver than ICO because often people more ready to believe in existing exchanges than believe in not existing project. That is reason why this model is good.
I think IEOs are only safer on top exchanges because they guarantee the legitimacy of the project, because they themselves have the integrity so they try as much as possible not to promote scam projects.
But it is still possible for them to fall victim of scam projects because scammers are now so smart that they design their project that it is hard to know it is a scam.

Both the IEO and the ICO are risky, but in the case of the IEO you risk losing only a part of the invested funds, and in the case of the ICO, you can lose all the funds
Wrong, the risk level depends on the project, it doesn't matter which option you choose for investing in. IEOs can be a good source for buying the pumped coins before getting listed on the exchange, ICOs don't have such an offer. Losing all money in ICO means the unskilled investor bought a token of the useless project, IEOs usually have a better return on the investment compared to the other token sale modes.

While an IEO is come, it definitely be trade in exchange irrespective of the price volatility. But, if you have participated for the ICO then it is not the time burden when it will be listed in the exchanges. I know there are many ICOs which were came in the year of 2017 but still now many of the crypto haven't listed in any exchanges. But, IEO directly lunch on a exchange platform. So, it is good some how.
For investors, the most important thing is to quickly list in the market and the IEO can make a project be traded faster. For developer teams, ICO requires negotiations with exchangers for listings, unlike the IEO because in my opinion this includes packages offered by exchangers to the developer team
I agree with you, IEO is more safer than ICO because usually top exchange will not accepting scam projects.
This is good for investors, their money won't be lost anymore like in other scam ICO's.
But they need to choose the exchange carefully, because scam exchange might running scam IEO too.

Its safer by the reason what you can sell your tokens immediately.
Most of ICO not list to the exchanges last year, and your tokens become a garbage

Haha. I always hear that complain from people who participated in last year's ICOs. They were all saying the same that it's 6 months or more of waiting for the sale to finish and even have numerous extension just to reach softcap but end up not getting listed and no updates after all. While IEOs has all the advantage that even the price drop its value, at least you can sell it. And as time goes by, I'm sure you can get what you have invested back in a bullrun.

IEO is sure a safer investment than ICO but very few good ICO can show up anytime too,the most profitable project for me this year so far never host any IEO and they only did ICO months ago,learn to do research not to miss out on good IEO and ICO projects
Well I think same, in the angle that initial Exchange Offering is safer investment option than Initial coin offering. After the scam of last year on ICO, most people get really fed up, one good thing about the IEO is that the exchanges do research on the project in question before approving it, that makes it safe for investors, also listing is guarantee when token sales ends.
investing in ICOs and IEOs is safe as long as you make sure you invest enough in it because the bigger your investment, the more money you will make.
No one like to lose money, and everyone looking for profit, so you need to do some effort to gain this profits, investing without research like you through your money, ICO or IEO should do research.
For me it's a big yes. The trust factors in IEOs is far better than ICOs generally. But I am not talking about ant IEOs IEOs which are offered by big institution are really trustworthy atleast for short term investment. And they are also highly profitable at this moment. At the mid of the 2018 ICOs are very scary no trust factors was their anyone can scam you. But now the problem is kind of solved. So for me IEOs are far far trust worthy than ICOs when it comes to investment.
Certainly now IEO is much safer than ICO, because IEO is carried out on the exchange and in case of unsuccessful project, the coin can be sold on the exchange
but the risk must still be considered. the price after Ieo can be a dump even though it is done in a global market. in-depth analysis of the project must be carried out maximally. Ieo and Ico will be successful if the project has the strategy and strength to build good and quality market trust. so there is no guarantee that Ieo will be more successful than Ico.

Some projects apply both. Maybe it did when the team has no enough fund.
They started crowdfunding with ICO only for the listing and launchpad fees in the exchange and then carried out the IEO in it.

actually the same. because we send our money to exchange. and we will get a token in our account. unfortunately, if the project is scam then the token will not be useful. that can happen. some have even seen. it is not much different from ICO safely or not for investment.
