2019 has seen the emergence of IEOs or Initial Exchange Offerings, and after gaining popularity with Korean exchanges, international exchanges such as Binance, Kucoin, Huobi, Bittrex, and OKEx have all committed to launching blockchain projects through their exchange platforms. Here’s our choice of five of the most interesting from the past, present, and future.

Bread (BRD)

While Binance’s IEO Launchpad actually got underway with the Gifto sale on December 14, it was the Bread token sale on Binance that caught much of the community’s attention. The sale took place on December 16, 2017, and helped the popular crypto wallet provider to attract around $20 million in funding.

The launch on Binance attracted a significant number of participants and despite falling from $0.78 to $0.25 since the launch, the BRD token continues to record an ROI of 1.7x in ETH, and 1.5x in BTC.

BitTorrent Token (BTT)

The BitTorrent Token sale took place on Binance on 28 January 2019 and paved the way for much of the current interest in IEOs. The project raised $7.2 million via Binance after raising $19.3 million in private sales.

The sale took place a little more than half a year after TRON founder Justin Sun acquired BitTorrent Inc. 10.1% of the total BTT supply of will be airdropped to TRX holders over the next 6 years. The BTT token has recorded an ROI of around 5x in USD, BTC, and ETH.

DOS Network (DOS)

DOS or Decentralized Oracle Service Network aims to forward blockchain use by incorporating real world data and high levels of computation power. The sale on March 11, 2019 was the first public sale on BitMax exchange, and the project successfully raised $1,700,000.

The sale was completed within five minutes and the DOS token has already recorded an ROI of 3.07x in USD. The performance of DOS has done much to increase the amount of focus on BitMax over the last couple of weeks.

Multivac (MTV)

MultiVAC is a flexible, high-throughput blockchain platform that makes use of sharding in order to achieve high performance capabilities. The project is set to kick start KuCoin’s Spotlight platform, and the token sale for MTV will take place on April 3, 2019, at 22:00:00 (UTC+8).

The project has already raised around $12,600,000 of its $16,200,000 hard cap and much is expected of KuCoin’s first IEO launch. Participating will require the use of Kucoin Shares (KCS).

Top Network (TOP)

TOP Network is a business-friendly blockchain platform which incorporates a pioneering decentralized cloud communication service. The enterprise-focused project launched their token sale via Huobi's Prime platform on March 26. The team have already raised $11,000,000 of their $15,000,000 total hard cap through private investments, and were three sale rounds on Huobi at the following prices:

The first round：1 TOP=0.000708 HT

The second round：1 TOP=0.000852 HT

The third round：1 TOP=0.001020 HT

Participants could only contribute via HT and there will be significant attention on the performance of tokens launched through Huobi’s Prime service. At the moment, TOP is trading at 0.0038 HT on the exchange, meaning that the token is currently changing hands at well above the token sale rates.
