Topic: What is the difference between ICO's and IEO's (Read 676 times)
The are almost the same thing or rather have same motive, that is, both are a means to generating funds to Kickstart a project or enable a created project to continue developing. But as things turn out, the means of collecting the funds varies which opened way for fraudulent activities mostly in the ICO type. In the ICO type the team collects the funds and hence can either continue with development or run away, in most cases, most projects run away. In the IEO type, the exchange collects the funds and list the token through which investors can decide their fate. That is to say, IEO tends to be more secure than ICO.
From my point of view, the most important component is prospects and growth plans. In few words, Threefold network is the biggest decentralized grid of self-managing Internet capacity in the world that is being built collectively by an inclusive ecosystem and owned by everyone. The mission is to expand the current Internet to all areas of the world and to allow everyone to use this Internet at a fraction of its current price
ICO stands for Initial Coin Offering while IEO stands for Initial Exchange Offering, mare looking at it one can deduce the difference from the name. In ICO, it takes place under the care of the team wherein they oversee the funds and it is through this way that most projects easily exit scam. In the case of IEO, it is done on exchanges where the exchange helps to curb out fraudulent activities and in this case once IEO is done listing takes place thus investors who wish to move on will do so while those who wish to stick to the platform will withdraw their tokens to their wallets. Therefore the major difference is, in IEO listing is assured while in ICO it is on probability and might take longer than usual or never will.
If we look at how it works then the ICO and IEO are not much different because their goal is the same as collecting coins and we can invest and see their mission a little different but still both are not so big impact on the user Crypto because there are still many scamer that continue to haunt the users, if they can give the best offer and promise then both of them will be much different later.
The biggest difference between IEO and ICO is to list exchanges after completing the hardcap. For IEO projects, they will definitely be listed at the IEO implementation exchanges, but for ICOs, we can not know in advance where the project will be listed anywhere. 
To the best of my understanding, the difference between ICO and IEO is simply in the modality of raising funds. ICO gives the project owners the opportunity to raise funds themselves while IEO gives a cryptocurrency exchange the privilege to raise funds on behalf of the project owner. They both have their strength and weakness, but I guess there's a preference for IEO in the cryptocurrency space, due to the inherent risk of scam projects.
IEO is a form of investment which has become very popular in recent months and it is likely that this trend will last for a very long time because investors are very interested in participating. I think at the moment exchanges like Binance, Okex are the focus of many good IEO projects and if you are lucky enough to have a ticket to join, you will make a huge profit. However, you need to be more careful when participating in exchanges with poor liquidity because you will risk choosing to invest in those projects. 
There is only one diffrence, the form of token sale. ICO means that company is managing the token sale by themselves, while IEO token sale is managed by third party - the exchange company. But it doesn´t guarantee you higher quality or better use. 
this guarantees the possibility of selling the token on the exchange after the sale is successful. But if exchanges are not large, then they can delay the listing of tokens for several months. I have already seen such situations a few times. if this happens then it is best not to work with such exchangesSelling the tokens depends on the liquidity too and it can't be done instantly if there was no a huge liquidity.

Both are basically the same thing just that they have different platforms on which they take place. ICO takes place under the care of the team where they can decide the fate of everything and everyone, that is, to use the fund for the actual purpose or to exit scam with it. IEO on the under hand take place under the care of the exchange, in this way, the team have no other option than to play along with the exchange, thus lesser chance of exit scam. The only reason why IEO is better is that, there is no excuse of delayed listing, once IEO is done, listing and hence trading takes place.
Everyone knows the fact that IEO will be basically listed easily versus ICO trying hard to get their coins listed but I also feel like
there is a decentralized issue at play here as well. When you do ICO there is an "owner" of that coin which is horrible, nobody wants to have some coin that basically has one guy at the top doing all the thinking and making all the decisions, that is basically fiat, look at all the ICO's and you will realize that there is at least one team if not one guy who gets all the funding and makes all the decisions.
IEO is kinda like that as well in logic but they are giving away as much of the money as possible to get funding yet let the coin be what it can be because they basically sell all their coins on the exchange and leave the coin be to community.

in short ieo is less riskier because you will know if what ieos are good and bad if you will only based on the exchange listed by them ~~
With so many pump-dump on exchanges after fundraising, I think both IEO and ICO are the same, both are high risky. The success of investors is not only measured by the success in fundraising or in listing on top exchanges. But when the token values can be growing constantly on exchanges. At least, the volume is rising properly, it indicates a good interest from people. Unfortunately, after fundraising, most token values are gradually losing their values on the market currently. 
There's no difference realistically. What's between then is ICOs are not carried out on exchange but rather oc project ico portals. IEOs are done on exchange but the ends of the two is fund raising for projects.
The real difference is only the name, and other thing is the IEO use exchange for crowdfunding while ICO only use thier website to accumulate funds from investors. But in the end the result will be the same IEO right now is look the same path as ICO before and now.
the only difference is the middle letter. ICOs are scamming people by calling themselves initial "coin" offering and IEOs are scamming people by doing the same exact thing while calling themselves initial "exchange" offering.
the end result is exactly the same with different speeds at which they dump and exit. as IEOs are already supported by and listed on an exchange they can dump and run away faster.
Definitely there is little bit difference, If you agree or not. ICO is the uncertainty for the investors because they don’t know how long time to wait for the exchange. They may have a long wait to be frustrated. I don’t know which ICO is successful in last few months. All of the IEO's are big successful not likes that, a lot of fraudulent ico project will launch with shitty exchanges because exchange fee is cheap. the end result is exactly the same with different speeds at which they dump and exit. as IEOs are already supported by and listed on an exchange they can dump and run away faster.
so in short ieo is less riskier because you will know if what ieos are good and bad if you will only based on the exchange listed by them but ico is purelly unpredictable but like they always said , high risk always leads to high rewards , there is a big potential on ico's compare to ieo's . take a look on the past , many ico's became succesful and give a good profit but look at ieos now , i havent seen lots ieos pump too much . if there are legit ieo's ,the gain are only minimal .

Well they are almost the same thing, just a way of rising funds for new projects

IEO are purely just a remodelled ICO's, but somehow IEO's are way more better if conducted on good exchanges however you might still lose your money If you had invested in a wrong company.
Which is why we need to rely on IEO from these very quality exchanges if we really want to get the right company because those top exchanges have done all the work to ensure that they work with companies that also have reputation just like them, because those exchanges like binance really value their reputation, and they would do everything possible too to make sure that any company they are allowing on their exchange is such that will not bring shame or tarnish their own image.IEO are purely just a remodelled ICO's, but somehow IEO's are way more better if conducted on good exchanges however you might still lose your money If you had invested in a wrong company.
I think it will be worth if we look into these top exchanges IEO, but we still have to make sure also that we do a very firm research on those projects too, because scammer can be very deceptive and no one is really above mistake, the exchange could make a big mistake in falling into one too.

After experiencing lots of profitless IEOs, I guess there will not be any big differences between IEOs and ICOs. Slowly, IEOs start showing us its real face.
