An Initial Exchange Offering, (also known as an IEO), is a fundraising model that is provided by an exchange. Opposing to an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) where the project team themselves conduct the fundraising, an Initial Exchange Offering means that tokens are sold by exchanges which immediately list the tokens after the end of the token sale.

Benefits:

• Users can purchase tokens with funds directly from their own exchange wallet.
• Users don’t need to manage on-chain transactions with different wallets on different blockchains.
• Reputation of exchange offering a higher degree of trust behind the project.

For our research we took only IEO platforms from CoinMarketCap DATA Alliance:

• Binance Launchpad
• OK Jumpstart
• Huobi Prime
• KuCoin Spotlight
• Gate.io Startup
