Topic: When Will It All Slow Down For IEOs and What Will Replace Them ? - page 2. (Read 352 times)

AIGO is really bad! I invested there and now it's just a garbage token!
I'm sorry, this is a lesson for me, and for friends don't make IEO purchases in exchange other than the famous ones

it is already happening, there are numbers of IEO that already exited after a successful sale, example, AIGO, after having IEO got listed in DCOIN after having a good jump in price they suddenly, change the contract and nothing follows and now, telegram has been silent and no updates from the dev, so basically, this is the reason why it is really hard for new investors to trust crypto.

I think both IEOs and ICOs will stay and will be in the market at the same time unless the world agrees to something different and that may be a fully regualted and licensed fund raising project and for this to happen some big country or global authority have to come up with such regulations and implement them throughout.

If ICOs or IEOs saturated the market it stands to reason that you would have missed some but not all would have been great investments, so many as simply scams.



The main reason most IEOs are not promoted as much as any ICO was because when an exchange lists an IEO they use all their marketing tools to try to sell it to the end user.



I am so glad you mentioned three important factors:

- first, the lack of interest in IEOs in general
- second, there is more than likely the inevitable dump that follows
- third, other than Binance where are any serious IEOs really taking place?

What cannot be denied is the concept of funding-via-exchange-only has effectively failed as it leaves projects tied-in and at the mercy of the exchange promoting it hoping it will entice its users to purchase.

I think IEO has already slow down, how many of these exchanges are doing IEO now, or how many have one to be done this year, I know of Binance but it is more or less their own token. I think IEO ended before it even get the chance to gain momentum.

As for what would replace IEO for now I can't say but my prediction is that something better would pop up during the bull market when people have money to gamble with just like the last bull cycle

In traditional finance such "trustworthy investment platforms" are simply stock exchanges, because they are tightly regulated so it's hard for scam companies to list their stock there. If top crypto exchanges were super regulated, they could list the most trustworthy token/coins offerings.

But I don't believe it would make these offerings much safer, even if you remove scams, the chance of failure still extremely huge, if you take all the coins in history, how many of them actually succeeded? I'm not talking about success as "reached 10000% growth", I'm talking about "delivered a working product as was promised" and then "that product achieved the minimum level of adoption". Ethereum is the most successful ICO, but still its future is unclear, we don't see any useful dapps around, while ETH was marketed as "world's computer" that will created "web 3.0" and so on.

You highlighted the ICOs phenomena of years ago and about the hundreds of millions of USD$ they generated and I do agree with you when you say: "IEO as a concept is an attempt to gain trust of investors who understand how insanely risky ICO's are" because there is some element of truth in it but there is also ample opportunity for scam exchanges to make lots of money by facilitating IEOs they know to be scams and also by lauching their own IEOs under aliases and use heavily handed selling/promotion techniques to dupe victims.

I think maybe some form of more trustworthy investment platform will be arriving sooner than we think because if IEOs can replace ICOs then surely IEOs can be replaced too.

Reading the post reminded me again of what happened to IDAX. There were many projects that came out accusing them of faking the volume for their IEO and one of them was a project I promoted before - CryptomarketAds. A few months later, we read news that IDAX exit scammed.

Knowing the fact that IEOs are on a decline, some exchanges were clever enough to make token sale on exchanges sounds fresh/new. What I've seen so far are Security Token Offering (STEO), Order Book Exchange Offering (OEO), Initial DEX Offering (IDO), and I'm pretty sure there are more weird names out there.

IEOs (or whatever names exchanges call them), I think, is the last stage in the "evolution" of token sales. I cannot see any other forms at the moment.

The evidence are everywhere, the lack of interest in IEO is already surfacing since it isn't that easy for a project carrying out an IEO to sellout their tokens as before. The only exchange that can probably sell out (currently) has to be Binance Exchange but the dump that usually follows the IEO projects once listed must have made Binance to loss interest in carry-out more IEOs. Also the lack of advertisment could be another reason why IEOs are lacking patronage.

The idea of depending only on the exchange to promote their project is killing most project since most of this exchange don't have a strong community. Back in the days of ICOs, we had bounty campaigns used to spread the news of crowdfunding but this days only few project still engage in such practices which goes to show how the industry have changed so far and only the exchanges with large audience are/were benefiting from this IEO ideology.

The generally lost of interest from Investors due to the poor turn out of ICO also contribute (or it's contributing) to the downfall of IEOs. The market conditions of the industry is making every investment decision an Investors make turns into a bad/poor ones since the market (most especially, altcoin market) is constantly on a decline in price, which produces a negative return of investment (in most cases).

IEOs aren't even promoted as much as ICOs were, they are not on any fast pace and actually may not need slowing down, they may just slowly fade out. Due to how ICO somewhat ended, I mean the days when they were flourishing, because as for now the rate of exit scams and other whatnots are so high and investors knowing fully well that IEOs are not different from them other than slightly in their modus operandi aren't too interested in IEOs as a result.

I wouldn't be too optimistic about anything(investment)coming after the IEO, there is every chance it may be worse and less secure than what we have right now.

there are still upcoming ICO or IEO's actually. We can't hear so much about that because market is just newly recovering.
I think we shouldn't have focused on ICO's so much. We should focused on market value, tech developments, updates and something else but ICO's...

People so much focused about ICO. And missed some great stuff I think.

If you remember those days, ICO's were huge, there were really ambitious projects, everyone talked about them, news sites covered ICO's almost daily, and they gathered dozens and hundreds of millions of dollars. Nowadays it's nothing like that with IEO's, so we can assume that the next iteration of public investments will be even smaller. IEO as a concept is an attempt to gain trust of investors who understand how insanely risky ICO's are, so these post-IEO investments will try to do the same. Maybe we'll have offerings backed by governments or real world companies, but I doubt it will be any more trustworthy than what we have today.

We all know the number of ICOs have dropped dramatically and there are several reasons for this such as the number of scams which affected investor confidence and of course the rise of ICOs. Without doubt ICOs have had their day but they still occur on a much smaller scale and have not completely been replaced by IEOs, yet.

In your opinion when will IEOs begin to be reduce in number? Just as happened with ICOs, it seems probable to conclude IEOs will one day be replaced with some other form of investment facility.

The number of IEOs that are fake from top to bottom being operated on scam exchanges just so that the operators can get free money by selling fake projects (they either fully or partially own) is growing. If this trend continues the exchanges that intended to exit-scam after long periods of selective scamming will no longer feel the need to do so because they can keep selling and promoting scam IEOs on their scam exchanges and keep getting free money from investors instead of stealing it -thus keep running their exchange without the need to exit and close down.

Also if decentralised p2p exchanges become the norm and the reliance on centralised exchanges becomes virtually null and void then how would that affect investment in those projects?
