Initial Exchange Offering (IEO)

Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) is a fundraising event where a cryptocurrency exchange facilitates the sale of a new token on behalf of a project. The exchange acts as an intermediary, performing due diligence and providing a platform for investors to purchase tokens. This process enhances trust and security for investors, as the exchange vets the projects before listing. Unlike ICOs, IEOs are conducted directly on exchanges, allowing projects to reach a broader audience and gain immediate liquidity. IEOs often lead to greater exposure and credibility for new blockchain projects.
