Known as an IEO for short, this is where a cryptocurrency exchange oversees the token sale. The benefits are clear: blockchain projects go through a comprehensive vetting process where their white paper is scrutinized, and their crowdfunding drive will also get publicity.
Many investors tend to find IEO platforms more appealing because there's a greater level of due diligence than what's seen with an ICO.
For example, Binance Launchpad is one of the trading platforms that aims to deliver innovation to the crypto market. The site has helped more than a dozen blockchain projects raise capital since launch.
