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.
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.
