Is there any new fundraising strategy that can defeat IEO? I believe that IEO will last longer because it's capable of giving confidence to the audience, they have something to put their confidence on and that's top exchanges, look how profitable binance launchpads are over the few years, who would thought IEO could be this strong today? I made some money from binance launchpads since I'm terrible at trading, if you are like me then top exchanges IEO launchpads can do wonders .
Many new DEFI projects didn't use IEO, yet the token sales were successful. Examples include DMMDAO, and lately graph protocol. IEO gives more confidence, I concur, but getting into IEO on Binance and other big exchanges sometimes is a challenge. For me, it's not whether the project chose to do IEO or ICO, team should be well known with proven track record, a working product or prototype, decent project backing and investors will come in.
