IEO and STO are basically the same. It's just an evolved ICO. There were many STO in the past, just the word wasn't coined at that time.
But this time the failure of IEO may also lead to the failure of an exchange. So its really a difficult job for established exchanges to choose the best candidate that would be able to keep up the name of the exchange.

It is really sad to know that ICO is finally becoming archaic and a thing of the past, Crypto market would have really suffered a major setback if not for the intervention of IEO and STO, most especially IEO because STO is still yet to gain relevance a much as IEO is gradually gaining, and I know that within the next few years, IEO will be the major accepted form of crowd funding to most investors, because it is a little but regulated and yet does not have the involvement of government in it, unlike STO that is being regulated indirectly by government through its agency known as SEC.
There is no need to pity or show sympathy for ICO, ICO has done more damage to investors, most have lost their life saving touching these tokens, this is the reason most of these developers are running away from STO's because they know with time they have responsibilities to investors, but most of the so called STO's in the space now are jokers and not one of hem is rely serious and that is why people are not interested in them

This is the answer to all the scamming that is going on in the ICO coins, time will come that no new coin will pick ICO because investors are not going to invest in a coin that has ICO attached to its name, after more than 3 years it's end game for ICO as we have two better replacement STO and IEO.

I'm not very sure about STOs but IEOs number of today will definitely soar much more. I don't think it will just go triple, possibly it will go 8x - 10x because of the successs hype and not to mention that btc is now fast approaching that 5 digit value again.

If the market will continue to rise then there is a big possibility that it will happen but if the market will start to fall in quarter 4 then this speculation will not hit the right path.
Once the market is alive, many STO's and IEO's will surely be born as the investors will be alive again. IEO's are new therefore there is a good chance that it will overtake STO's in terms of number. But I am not that sure if the investors will keep on investing in IEO's if they find it less profitable.

IEO and STO are going to take over ICO as people expect some form of credibility from the two than plain ICO.
IEO is supposedly project studied and approved by exchanges it's like endorsed project of the exchange and has a much better chances of getting listed in that exchange itself. This already solves some problems that investors face. While STO promises the real stake in the project though with no free and independent auditing, it could easily be manipulated.

This outcome is likely if market conditions remain supportive and should increase the demand for IEOs provided they offer good quality products with long term viability and STOs might attract a lot of traditional investors into the digital assets market place and bring a lot more capital inflow with it that will help expand the entire industry further

Good to hear such a prediction and this shows that cryptocurrency isn't dead thanks to IEOs and STOs though we had kind of an ICO winter last year.
Investors including me find that IEOs and STOs are more attractive than ICOs because of several reasons.
One is that, project team doesn't need to put a huge effort to promote their IEO as popular cryptocurrency exchanges it selves have a significant number of potential investors and likely to be successful with their funds raising. Therefore, we don't need to worry much whether the IEO is going to be successful. The second reason is that reputable exchanges won't list useless projects as IEOs and tarnish their image. Therefore, IEOs offered by reputable exchanges usually attract more investors. This can leads to have more and more IEOs in the future.
Everybody knows that STOs is the next evolution in fund raising. Regulated STOs will definitely get the attraction from the investors as such STOs are less risky and investors can easily filter out scams.

It all depends on the the IEO platform, Some IEO platform like binance and houbi will not require major promotions just to get the attention of the investors. But the other small IEO platform, Some devs are still running a bounty campaign to promote their IEO sale.
Its still not easy for unfunded projects since they hardly got the chance to get listed on a reputable IEO platform like launchpad and houbi

ICOs were very successful at the beginning but they are not popular anymore as they made many investors disappointed.
IEOs are much more trustworthy and they are the new trend for investing.

As a result, more investors will join and remain on the crypto train.
I am not sure yet on STOs but on IEOs, only a limited number can participate due to the exchange policy.
With or without IEOs/STOs, more investors will still join and remain in the crypto train.

I love to see that STO is growing but still this kind of project is not on investors favor to invest in. But doesn't is good if you can earn dividend instead of just a capital gain from your trade? Perhaps the main problem for STO is that it is hard to pass few country regulation as most countries don't allow their citizen to hold security tokens.
Generally, I find STOs and IEOs to be much better than the dreaded usual ICOs. Everything boils down to the protection of the investing public because if we take care of them then this industry is going to flourish. This can be the best way to filter unscrupulous and scamming projects from getting in and though this is not the guarantee that there will not be scams but at least we can minimize them. The time has really come that there is something we can do to lessen if not eliminate frauds in this potentially lucrative crowdfunding platform. I am hoping that more evolution on this aspect will be emerging. We have to open and decentralize crowdfunding but we also have the utmost responsibility to protect the investors at all cost.

Yeah, forget ICO's as most of them are scam. STO will be the safest way to invest because they can be persecuted if they dare to scam the investors.
Perhaps this (STO & IEO) will raise the quality of new startups. Although there may be another effect: it will raise the quality of scammers 
.We will see it in a few months.

So, the ICO era is going to end finally! I had a big hope on STO projects after the ICO. But almost all of my favourite STO projects are suffering to raise half of their total goal! I thought MOBU, Orbis, Hyghtech STO will be very successful. But people did not invest in MOBU, Orbis is like another likely scam project and hyghtech is suffering very much! So, I don't think STO projects will get popularity this year but I believe in Q4 of 2019, IEOs project number will be triple!
STO its just the same as ICO since they are using the same method of raising money online. Even a security token has its flaws since it will have a hard time getting listed on exchange, Since SEC already starting to order a trading cease on most US based exchange for all scam tokens.
In STO, the amount the investment is expected to yield has already been fixed and the profit now depends on the amount of capital the investors is willing to commit into the investment and no matter how lard the capital is, I think he highest that can be gotten from one’s investment in a year is between 2 to 10% which is fixed.

number of ICOs is not down because of IEOs, or because of lack of regulations, it is not even down because of the scams. all these things were small reasons and are considered secondary to the real big reason which is the fact that every single one of the ICO tokens got dumped hard after being listed on exchanges. that means majority of investors who were fooled by the ICO advertisements realized investing in a fund raising token is more of a gamble which only has a short window of success before it ends and dies. so they simply stopped investing in them and they died.
things are not different in IEO and STO. they both are still scams and also unregulated even though they pretend otherwise. and more importantly they both get dumped the same way and end up with the same result as ICO tokens which means their number can not grow as much as ICOs because they are starting mid way of a dying method.

you can not predict these things because they purely depend on how people react to them. for example ICOs have been dying because people stopped paying attention to them and stopped throwing their money away at these scams.
then STOs came and gained a tiny popularity before they go the same route and now we are at IEOs which are pretty much on the same path as ICO and STO because they are not different from each other and none of them have any future. besides that IEOs get dumped much faster than ICO and STO because they are already listed on exchanges and people have clear plans on when and how they are going to dump whereas previously they had to wait and beg to be able to dump their tokens.
as a result of losses people are stopping to give money to IEOs too and they will soon die just like their predecessors.
