Have you ever thought of this before?

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  Grin


What's your take on this?

Yeah, i have thought this question because IEO is very popular recently.
I think IEO exist because many investors have not satisfied about the existing ICO.
Many projects were fraud, not according the road map, etc.
What you said is right about the major concept of the IEO platform, this is strictly the solution to the problem that many investors are facing through the ICO platform, with IEO now, many people have the mindset of it being trusted, since it is being verified thoroughly by these exchanges before making it popular.

The only loop hole I am seeing with IEO project is that scammers will still have a way of penetrating, especially through these week exchanges, but one can still control that by participating only in projects that are from reputable exchanges such as Binance and any other good one out there.
