When I first heard of IEOs from smaller exchanges, I thought they were simply catering to one of the demands of ICO investors which is immediate exchange listing.
Then came the bigger centralized exchanges like Binance, Bittrex, and Kucoin. It somehow made me wonder why would they open up their platform to crowdfunding. Maybe because they also think that the ICO market is dying? If so, then that would mean less new projects. With less new projects, less potential source of income (listing fees).
So in the end, it is still all about the $$$. These exchange are probably afraid of losing one of their major source of income
What's your take on this?
In the beginning, I did not believe that the IEO can be profitable, I thought that this is another type of fraud. When I saw that they could be profitable, it was already too late - the number of people willing to invest in new projects became very large and it became very difficult to become a real investor in the IEO on the major exchanges.
