Bitcoin Garden: How IEOs and STOs Could Bring New Investors into Crypto
https://bitcoingarden.org/how-ieos-and-stos-could-bring-new-investors-into-crypto/
The 2017 bull run introduced the world to the utility token, a coin that had value because it had to be used on a valuable network. There was a coin for dentists and doctors and accountants and just about everything else. If investors thought that the company behind the utility token was going to succeed they were happy to throw money at it. The problem, however, was twofold.
In the first place a lot of ICOs failed, there wasn’t a demand in the marketplace for what they were offering. Secondly, even when an ICO did find a niche where they could generate a profit it didn’t always lead to a high valuation of their utility token. That led to a lot of disappointment and disillusionment. The change was needed and as we move through 2019 it’s finally starting to happen. The Security Token Offering (STO) and the Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) are two investment vehicles that are going to bring a whole new group of investors into crypto....

There is some truth, because STO and IEO are widely used by people to make their sales successful without fear of failure in sales.
-
STO is the real deal, IEO is just a copy of ICO but with a guaranteed that the coin/token of the project will be listed on an exchange, the hype that is around IEO will end soon anyway only the successful IEO is the one running on Binance, the real deal is STO which will bring us close to real projects and real investors that are looking to do real investing in shares, not useless tokens/coins that have no value.

There is also true what you are talking about🔥🔥

I couldnt agree less to this. The market need some mind of reinforcement and i am suspecting STo and IEOs will be that reinforcement to lead investors and companies interested in taking part incrypto ones again.
-
I think it is already coexisting in ieos
Sto requires kyc
Ico needs smart contract
Ieo insteads requires kyc and delivers token directly to buyers
Identical I believe

I'm not even sure about bringing in new investors. I have not seen any data yet that supports the idea that new investors are coming in because of STO's and ICOs. If anything, I only see an increase of existing investors to try out start up projects again because of the added security in placed.
-
it is very difficult to say who will success or not?
-
Hope that trend of IEO and STO could help the market recover again because at the moment investors are losing their hope from the market

Everything is in a competitive state in the success of the project.

I quite agree with you, but not totally because while you may see IEOs as replicas of ICOs, it's much more than that. Remember that the major exchanges here and even smaller players who are looking to get into the game of IEOs are putting their reputation at stake in claiming they did an assesment before accepting to work with selected projects - that gives me some sort of confidence I didn't have for ICOs and if I may give an example with ECOMI which is going the route of an IEO, and consider the fact that Alfred Khan is on board, I would give the thumbs up to the exchange involved for picking that project.
This is not to say there won't bad cases but it's mostly good imho

STO is interesting but many country banned this kind of security offerings meanwhile IEO despite looks like more legit than ICO is still struggle with the fact that most of the project is basically the same as what ICO offer but with the help of popular exchanges that also put their reputation at stake so that many people will be interested.
If I'm myself would rather choose an existent project thats already listed in various exchange like veil-project. It's way better than putting money into project that is still nothing but a talk.

STo is the real deal for me. This will ulsher in serious projects in the space. Self-funded projects also is the way. Because a team that has invested so much in a project won't let it down. I know of projects without an ICO OR IEO but currently doing well. Veil is a fully funded project without even premine

that depends largely on what you're looking at to be honest. I mostly go into deeper details of projects these days before putting my money behind their idea. The example I gave above was ECOMI - sold out their IEO in less than 48 hours. These guys aren't a replica of any other project, the ECOMI project has an influencial figure (Alfred Khan) in their midst and are fast developing a market place for digital collectibles (https://www.ecomi.com/ (https://www.ecomi.com/)) to be traded by gamers. With huge partnerships already sealed and the ability to seal even greater ones, there's no stopping such a project.
this is not to say IEOs won't church out trash as well... we both know that's innevitable.

I agree, most ICOs and utility tokens are almost dead and investors don't want to invest on ICOs anymore. I'm happy to see that Binance introduces IEOs that brings back the old investors to the market.
