What is an IEO (Initial Exchange Offering)?

An initial exchange offering (IEO) is when a new cryptocurrency lists on an exchange and becomes available to buy for the first time. Unlike ICOs (initial coin offerings), IEOs are conducted through centralized cryptocurrency exchanges.

What is an IEO?

An Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) is a fundraising mechanism where cryptocurrency projects offer their tokens to the public through a centralized cryptocurrency exchange.

In an IEO, the exchange acts as an intermediary, facilitating the sale, managing trading, and ensuring liquidity. To participate, investors must have an account with the exchange hosting the IEO.

LATOKEN facilitates IEOs for projects.

The exchange conducts due diligence on the project to ensure credibility, although this is not mandatory. Through an IEO, the project team raises funds in fiat or cryptocurrency, which can be used for various purposes, including:

• Advancing project development
• Offering rewards to investors
• Supporting the project's ecosystem

IEOs are often compared to Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) in the traditional stock market, where companies raise funds by offering shares to the public. Similarly, in the crypto world, IEOs provide a platform for projects to launch their tokens, either directly or following an Initial Coin Offering (ICO), commonly referred to as a crypto presale.

IEOs present an opportunity for investors to participate in emerging cryptocurrency projects while leveraging the trust and infrastructure of the hosting exchange.
