IEOs in 2020: 4 Projects to Look Out For

In the beginning of 2019, the ICO market was down around 97% based on the amount of raised capital.

Although ICOs can raise a huge amount of money, they also have many disadvantages. For example, ICOs led to the flood of scams on the market.

This is just one of the reasons why many projects decided to turn their fundraising efforts to IEOs (Initial Exchange Offerings). And in 2019, we saw the rise of IEOs in the crypto market. In fact, CoinGecko published a report stating 72 projects raised a total of $262 million in the first half of 2019 via IEOs.

It seems that IEOs are just getting started and that not even an upcoming bitcoin halving will disrupt them.

So, what exactly is IEO? Let’s answer that question.

What is Initial Exchange Offering?

IEO is a fundraising method where tokens from a certain project are sent to crypto exchanges to sell to investors and traders.

To participate in IEO, the investors need to know which exchanges will support the project and which cryptocurrencies are accepted as a payment.

One of the reasons why IEOs are popular is that they are a safer method for fundraising compared with ICOs.

You see, IEOs leverage the power and credibility of crypto exchanges, which makes it easier for investors to participate as they have lower chance for running into a scam.

On the other side, exchanges can charge IEO or listing fees, which means more income and a higher number of users.

Now that we know the definition, let’s take a look at some of the most promising IEOs in 2020.

Final words about IEOs in 2020
