2017 was the year of ICOs and 2019 is the year of IEOs. ICOs have traditionally topped the list of methods of fundraising, however the cryptocurrency industry moves fast. The focus has already shifted from traditional methods to IEOs. Initial Coin Offerings were successful back in 2017 and helped projects raised millions of dollars, however there were a bunch of projects that didn’t ever go live and ICOs naturally got a reputation for being scams. The evolution to raising money came in the form of Initial Exchange Offerings and in the list below, we’re sharing the best performing IEOs in history.
