In time past, initial coin offering (ICO) was the people's favorite but the proliferation of fraudulent projects led to a decline in its patronage.
Many investors now prefer IEO's over ICO's and I can say that currently IEO's are enjoying more patronage over Ico's
Definitely, I don't even see any coin from ICO that are in exchange now enjoying the same growth like IEO coins.
What I like about this IEO is more exchanges are beginning to gain popularity as well, and though Binance still leads the way, the other exchanges has help to accommodate investors who likes to participate in IEO, when this matures, we could probably see a good progress in the long run and might experience a bull run because of this and enjoy the same that we enjoyed during ICO times but in different platform.
IEO are quite popular at the moment, at the same time there are more ico's getting into existence. Among the number of ico's very few have gained more support and investment. IEO participation keeps increasing as the market listing of the tokens of the respective projects gets into trading access in a short while the same through ico's happen after weeks or even months. Possibly there will be some year in the future same as 2017 for altcoins. Until then we need to keep hold of the assets invested and earned out of ico's.
