There have of course been a number of fraudulent ICO’s that have tarnished the token sale reputation and struck fear and uncertainty into would-be investors.
Ok, I think the relationship between exchange and token creators is quite symbiotic. At first glance it would appear the benefits are clearly in favour of the company listing the token but the benefits extend far beyond this.
The huge IEO news is yet another positive move, one that is likely to prove favourable amongst the growing community. With multiple utility facets in development and a live MVP through a community management & development company, the IEO is likely to further enhance development and expose a great project to an even bigger audience. The on boarding process for new clients to provide is also gaining momentum which will likely result in an increased client base and in an increased demand for the community management & development services.
Topic: the new model of fundrising is IEO - page 8. (Read 937 times)
Initial Exchange Offerings (IEO) are definitely a better option than ICOs, because it is more difficult for scammers to start a scam IEO, because it has to be approved by exchanges. So, this is going to be a safer investment and you will be able to invest in this, directly from your exchange account. 
The Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) projects will also piggy back onto the millions of exchange users out there, without them having to fork out a lot of money on marketing.

the name or the model of the fundraising doesn't matter at all. it can be called anything but as long as it is the same, the problems exist. the important thing is why these funds (which are sometimes in the millions of dollars) are being raised and what do those people do with the funds they raised?
unfortunately the answer to that question so far is "nothing" because each of these ICOs in the past couple of years have only gotten paid to release a token that has no usages!
now they are repeating the same thing but are calling it IEO!

The new model of fundrising which is IEO to me is just another way of scam in the world of cryptocurrency because the same lower exchanges will still press ahead to IEOs. Remembering the ICO days, many of these platforms will never carryout thorough research about the project they intend to promote rather put their self interest in front, undermining the negative side of the investors if the project fail to succeed. Many of these exchanges then promote some project during ICOs and never be listed on good exchange for one reason or the other.
Personally, IEOs will be of more ICOs by tomorrow; but today they will act well, so, let watch out against tomorrow and see how it will go from here.
Imagining some Exchanges without volume participation in IEOs.
how can the IEO model create fraud? I think IEO is very safe than ICO. in my opinion the IEO is very safe from fraud and is very efficient at creating value in exchange. maybe the IEO is a bad alternative for bounty hunters. because they cannot get free coins from the project. Today's investors are worried to invest in ICO. I think the IEO is a good model for saving investor assets. but in general, we also have to accept the ICO as a fundrising model that can provide greater benefits to all elements than the IEO. Personally, IEOs will be of more ICOs by tomorrow; but today they will act well, so, let watch out against tomorrow and see how it will go from here.

Of course, things are expected to be getting better not the other way round. As you have said the IEO will reduce those shitcoin and will run into exchange quick. Is it not better to have that and be sure you are doing deal rightly. The only thing that I suspect it that,they may want to be strict with the use of KYC which will force every to define themselves.
the BTC market in 2018 is very bad and created a bear market. and that affects the fundraising model (ICO). finally a new alternative fundraising was coming such as STO and new model fundrising can attracted many large investors is the IEO.
We know that ICO can make money quickly because of the public sales model, but the fundrising model is often used by scammers to get money quickly and only for the benefit of the team. even some projects don't care about their projects. so they only create bad coin coins that have no value on the market.
coins from the IEO can be directly traded in the exchange after the sale is complete. but the ICO model must wait a long time to trade after it is listed in the exchange. so I think IEO is reliable and user friendly. how about you all ?
do you see bad results from the IEO?
The initial offer of coins (ICO), is now experiencing a very strong decline. Partly due to a decrease in activity in the cryptocurrency market, and partly due to the high level of fraud among such ICO projects.We know that ICO can make money quickly because of the public sales model, but the fundrising model is often used by scammers to get money quickly and only for the benefit of the team. even some projects don't care about their projects. so they only create bad coin coins that have no value on the market.

The initial exchange offer (IEO) is a relatively new way of raising funds for projects to issue new tokens, which is different in that fundraising occurs directly through the exchange. Here there is a certain guarantee to avoid fraud in such projects, but the exchanges still cannot fully guarantee this. The exchanges do not have sufficient authority to inspect the fundraising team and therefore I do not think that this fundraising model will take root. Only government regulation of this type of activity can help us avoid fraud in this type of activity.

When ICO is not working anymore, IEO is the new flavor with a twist. Since IEO offers much greater security to investors due to guaranteed listing when IEO is completed.
But beware, Some Low rate exchange starts offering IEO for projects without any due diligence so its open new doors for ICO scammers.
I guess actual worth of IEO will be found out after an year, when they will be able to deliver or not.
Only consolation is that they are already in exchange so you can easily liquidate your IEO token.
It is giving false security also that it is listed in exchange so exchange completed the due delligence.

IEO seems to be effective and assure the users with the immediate settlement, whereas with ico it is required to send the investment amount prior and the respective number of tokens will be send only after specific time period. Also the exchange listings were done few days after the launch. As in a quote IEO too has got flaws which will come to light after few launch, now it is in its early stage.
As the days pass by, more and more ppl would realize how risky and how low are the chances of profiting, it's inevitable but ICO's won't disappear anytime soon, people would still jump to it and it would still be the most used compare to sto and ieo because the project team still has the power to choose and in general, would always prefer the easiest route which is ICO - fewer requirements and capital. Not to mention that a lot of projects are scam, so if you put yourself in their shoes, you would prefer ICO since it's easier to exit.
It is hard to believe that these ICOs are still able to gain some traction. It has become too easy I guess. If you go to the altcoin section, there is a hundred new ANN threads everyday. Who exactly still invests in these stupid ideas is hard to fathom?
The situation is such that no credible entrepreneur would think about going the ICO route because it has scam written all over it. Only the malicious ones out to fool ignorant noobs are using the ICO route now.
IEO seems to be the in thing. Bittrex had their first IEO for something called RAID which was cancelled owing to a partnership cancellation. This basically seemed like a setup for confidence building. (Look we cancel it if we find something wrong..so you can obviously trust us..LOL). Next they had an IEO for Veriblock. Don't know how that went though.
I think that scammers is anywhere so when IEOs boom, scammers can still appear, they can do their IEO in small exchanges where dev exchange doesn't care to protect users. However, IEOs have brought a new wind to market.

Please explain in more details, what is IEO? Does it offer benefits of Secure Token Exchange or is it just an ICO with only difference on instant trading after sale ends?We know that ICO can make money quickly because of the public sales model, but the fundrising model is often used by scammers to get money quickly and only for the benefit of the team. even some projects don't care about their projects. so they only create bad coin coins that have no value on the market.

I think secure token offering is good option to feel more secured when investing in ICO. Investment isn't rasy option and wheb you invest, there are always risks, non model can make you sure that team members will do their best to create great coin and etc.
Btw can you list projects (famous ones) which have used IEO?

The only problem I see is that MultiVac was sold in 7 seconds. Well, who the hell bought it and how come it was that fast? Maybe is was a bot or something, but we can't really discount that there could still be manipulations from behind. I guess EIO model should have put something in place to check and prevent this kind of manipulation.
The emergence of IEO's in cryptosphere I must say has reaffirms assurance of Hope in the cryptocurrency space.
But it has it's own advantage and disadvantage
The poster has highlighted most of the advantages so I will drop the disadvantages.
I must say, there's no transparency in the way the ieos are conducted by exchanges.
There's a rumour that most exchanges sell to themselves and the project team and as such individuals and investors do not get in.
Every exchange seems to be introducing their own Ieo ,which I think may result to abuse if the process .
The possibility of projects that do not have any concrete use cases would emerge.etc

Every things have merits and demerits too. In my personal sense IEO is relatively safer than ICO because here you don't need to bother about many things like project legality, team, exchange listing. But one thing is unfamiliar for IEO in recent times which is new investors are getting lower chances to buy due to a big number of investors on existing exchange.
You may skip it if the IEO is done in a trusted exchange only, you should do researches if the IEO is happening in not a well known exchange or even better to ignore the IEO in such exchange.
The only reason ICO's ever worked was because how crazy the market was, it was the gold fever but for bitcoin, similarly the reason why ICO's don't work that much anymore is because people don't want to invest reklessly anymore, also, 99% of ICO's, even the ones who raised millions ended up doing nothing, no product, no services.
But frankly to say IEO locking many projects and listing the projects paying them and they like. We cannot agree on all which is accepted by the exchanges decided. We are safe, secure and anonymous with the bitcoin now we can opening everything with sharing KYC and our information to the project and trading sites by accepting the legal agreement and rules.

IEO is really quite a promising ICO. It has more advantages in relation to standard ICO because the exchange selects projects and acts as a guarantor of the quality of the project of its kind because it values its reputation. As we all see the format IEO is now very popular, and the sale of tokens takes literally minutes. At the same time, demand is many times greater than supply. Perhaps, IEO has replaced ICO and ICO with time it will simply go down in history. Unfortunately, there are too many scams in the ICO and many investors have been disappointed in ICO. Now by investing through IEO, you can speculatively earn x2 or even x10 and this attracts a lot of speculators to
IEO. But as you understand, this is not very good.
