Launchpad

Launchpads are decentralized platforms that facilitate early-stage fundraising for new Web3 projects through Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs). They provide investors with curated access to token sales while offering startups a community-driven capital injection. In 2026, launchpads have evolved into full-stack incubators, focusing on project quality and long-term sustainability. Follow this tag for the latest in token distribution models, tier-based participation, and the emergence of the next generation of "unicorn" protocols across various blockchain ecosystems.

Whales Add $146K As $18M Best Wallet Token Presale Nears Finish Line

Whales Add $146K As $18M Best Wallet Token Presale Nears Finish Line

The post Whales Add $146K As $18M Best Wallet Token Presale Nears Finish Line appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto Presales Takeaways: Crypto users juggle multiple centralized and clunky wallets, DEXs, and presale tools, creating friction, security concerns, and missed opportunities across chains and early‑stage deals. Existing wallets rarely reward users beyond basic custody, leaving a gap for products that combine security, deal access, and on‑chain yield in one mobile experience. Best Wallet Token aims to capture 40% of the crypto wallet market by end-2026 with a mobile‑first, Fireblocks‑integrated, non‑custodial super‑wallet powered by $BEST. Best Wallet’s Upcoming Tokens portal, fee discounts, and higher‑APY staking positions $BEST as both utility token and upside engine within a consolidated Web3 wallet stack. Crypto capital has turned cautious in late-2025, with Bitcoin chopping sideways and retail traders sitting on their hands. But when you see seven‑figure presales still filling and wallet infrastructure getting serious attention, it usually means one thing: bigger money is positioning for the next cycle, not the current candle. That’s the read on Best Wallet Token ($BEST), which has pushed its presale haul to $18M+ at a current token price of $0.026015. This isn’t the usual meme coin churn. The numbers suggest a conviction play from participants who expect wallet infrastructure, not speculative NFTs, to lead the next wave of user onboarding. The project’s own framing is blunt: raising more than $18M before launch and attracting six‑figure inflows in a single day is not ‘degen sprint’ behavior. That size of capital typically targets asymmetric upside, entering early on infrastructure that could grab meaningful market share if it executes. For everyone watching from the sidelines, the trade‑off is now clear. Either chase a working product on secondary markets later or step into a presale that’s explicitly aiming to capture 40% of the crypto wallet market by the end of 2026. The gap Best Wallet wants to fill is obvious to anyone…

Dogecoin, Shiba Inu & More

Dogecoin, Shiba Inu & More

The post Dogecoin, Shiba Inu & More appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Meme coins now command a combined valuation of $60 billion, sparking new waves of excitement across the crypto market. Explosive 100x pumps over short timeframes, increased whale activity, and surging retail interest have fueled this momentum. With attention shifting back to meme assets, here are the top six meme coins positioned for major upside, starting with the standout project leading the charge: Little Pepe (LILPEPE). Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The Top Meme Coin to Watch in This Bull Run Little Pepe stands out as the most compelling meme coin for 2024 and 2025. It is powered by its own Layer 2 blockchain using the LILPEPE token as gas. The focus is on low fees, strong speed, and a meme-centric ecosystem built for culture-driven projects. There are no taxes, no complicated tokenomics, and no artificial barriers. The team is working on launching a meme launchpad on their chain, giving creators a direct path to build and grow. The project’s ongoing presale highlights its growing attention. Stage 13 is active, with the token priced at $0.0022 and over $27.19 million raised to date. The early price gives buyers an opportunity to secure allocations before its expected listings on two major centralized exchanges, followed by an attempt to list on the biggest exchange globally. With plans already prepared, this roadmap is generating strong anticipation. The combination of culture, technology, and strong demand positions Little Pepe as a standout choice for those looking at meme coins with substantial upside potential. Dogecoin Building Strength as Macro Liquidity Rises Trading near $0.176, Dogecoin saw a 6.46% gain, edging closer to the $0.1815 resistance level. Short term charts reveal EMAs holding steady as support, while an inverse head and shoulders pattern hints at a possible breakout. With increasing liquidity across crypto and DOGE’s strong community, the asset is…

From "whoever pays, gets paid" to "only the right people": The next generation of Launchpad is poised to reshape the landscape.

From "whoever pays, gets paid" to "only the right people": The next generation of Launchpad is poised to reshape the landscape.

Article by: Nishil Jain Article compiled by: Block unicorn Foreword ICOs are back, and launchpads are flocking to them, all wanting a piece of the pie. In October, Coinbase acquired Echo and launched its token sale platform earlier this month; in September, Kraken partnered with Legion. Meanwhile, Binance has a close relationship with Buildlpad, and PumpFun is attempting to issue utility tokens through Spotlight. These developments come at a time when investor interest and trust in ICOs are recovering. Umbra Privacy raised $156 million on MetaDAO with a $750,000 funding goal, while Yieldbasis was oversubscribed 98 times in less than a day on Legion. Aria Protocol was oversubscribed 20 times on Buildpad, attracting more than 30,000 participants. As ICOs begin to raise funds at several times their offering price, filtering out the noise becomes especially important. In our previous article, "Capital Formation in the Cryptocurrency Sector," Saurabh explained how capital formation in the cryptocurrency space has evolved. He explored how new financing structures, such as Flying Tulip's investment model and MetaDAO's ICO, attempt to resolve potential conflicts of interest among teams, investors, and users. Each new model claims to offer a better balance of interests among the parties involved. While the success of these models remains to be seen, we are seeing various Launchpads attempting to resolve the conflicts between investors, users, and teams in different ways. They are achieving a more selective investor cap by allowing project teams to choose their own investors during public token sales. In today's article, I will guide you through the reasons and methods of investor screening. Selected holders will be given priority. Between 2017 and 2019, ICO investments mostly adopted a first-come, first-served model, attracting a flood of investors attempting to enter at low valuations, typically aiming for quick profits in the early stages of a project. Research data from over 300 ICO projects shows that 30% of investors exited within the first month of the project's launch. While quick returns are always tempting to investors, project teams are not obligated to accept every wallet asking for money. Truly visionary teams should be able to select their ICO participants, filtering out investors committed to long-term growth. The following is Ditto from Eigencloud discussing the shift from a first-come, first-served (FCFS) sales model to a community-centric sales system. The problem with this round of ICOs is that it ultimately fell into a "lemon market" dilemma. Too many ICO projects emerged, many of which were scams or traps, making it difficult for people to distinguish between high-quality and low-quality projects. Launchpad's inability to rigorously vet all projects led to low investor trust in ICOs. Ultimately, the number of ICOs surged, but the available funding to support them was insufficient. Now it seems that the situation is starting to change again. Cobie's Echo fundraising platform has raised $200 million for over 300 projects since its launch. Meanwhile, in some independent fundraising events, we've seen millions of dollars disappear in just minutes. Pump.fun successfully completed its ICO, raising $500 million in less than 12 minutes; Plasma raised $373 million in its public offering of XPL, targeting a $50 million goal. This shift is evident not only in token issuance but also in Launchpad itself. Emerging platforms like Legion, Umbra, and Echo promise greater transparency, clearer mechanisms, and more robust architectures for founders and investors. They are eliminating information asymmetry, enabling investors to distinguish between good and bad projects. Today, investors can clearly understand a project's valuation, funding amount, and related details, thus better mitigating the risk of being trapped in a losing investment. This led to a return of capital to ICO investment, with project subscriptions far exceeding expectations. The new generation Launchpad is also working to build an investment community that aligns with the project's long-term vision. Following its acquisition of Echo, Coinbase announced the launch of its own token sale platform, emphasizing a user-platform fit screening process. Currently, they achieve this by tracking users' token selling patterns. Users who sell tokens within 30 days of the sale's start will receive a lower allocation, and more fit metrics will be announced soon. This shift towards a community-centric distribution philosophy is clearly demonstrated in the meticulously designed airdrop program of Monad and the ICO distribution program of MegaETH, both of which are centered on community members. MegaETH was oversubscribed by approximately 28 times. The project required users to link their social media profiles and wallets with their on-chain history in order to filter out a list of token holders they believed best aligned with the project's philosophy. This is the shift we're seeing: when funds from ICOs become abundant again, project teams need to choose who to allocate those funds to. The new generation of Launchpad was created to address this problem. Next-generation Launchpad Currently, platforms such as Legion, Buildlpad, MetaDAO, and Kaito are emerging, representing a new type of launchpad. The first step is to vet ICO projects to ensure investors' trust in the launchpad platform; the next step is to vet participating investors to ensure that fund allocation complies with project standards. Legion adheres to a performance-based distribution philosophy and provides the most comprehensive community member ranking system. The platform has successfully completed 17 token offerings, with the most recent offering experiencing an oversubscription rate of approximately 100 times. To ensure that tokens reach the right people in an oversubscribed sale, each participant is assigned a Legion Score, which takes into account their on-chain history and activity across protocols, developer qualifications (such as GitHub contributions), social impact, network reach, and qualitative statements about their intended contributions to the project. Founders launching products on Legion can choose to assign weighted metrics, such as developer engagement, social influence, KOL (Key Opinion Leader) engagement, or community education contribution, and allocate weight accordingly. Kaito takes a more targeted approach, allocating a portion of its resources to "speakers" who actively participate in Twitter discussions. Engagement is weighted based on a user's voting credibility and speaking influence, the amount of $KAITO staked, and the rarity of the genesis NFT. Project teams can choose from these preferred supporter types. Kaito's model helps projects attract influential social media participants as early-stage investors. This strategy is particularly useful for projects that heavily rely on initial exposure. Buildlpad's core concept is based on the allocation of funds. The more funds a user stakes, the more tokens they receive when participating in the token sale. However, this also means that only wallets with funds can participate. To balance this capital-based system, Buidlpad introduced a "team system" that awards leaderboard points and extra rewards based on community activities such as content creation, educational outreach, and social media promotion. Of the four launchpads, MetaDAO is the most unique. Funds raised through the MetaDAO ICO are placed in an on-chain vault and governed by a market-based mechanism called Futarchy. Futarchy is essentially a futures market for the underlying tokens, but trading is based on governance decisions rather than price. All funds raised are held in an on-chain vault, and every expenditure is validated by a conditional market. The team must propose a plan for how the funds will be used, and token holders bet on whether these actions will create value. A transaction can only be completed when the market reaches a consensus. MetaDAO's ICO was permissionless and completely open to investor participation, with each investor receiving a token allocation based on their invested capital. However, community building and alignment of interests among token holders occurred after the ICO. Each proposal served as a marketplace within Futarchy, allowing traders to sell or buy more tokens upon proposal approval. Consequently, the token holder community evolved based on the final decision. While this article focuses on curated allocation schemes, from a project team's perspective, many other factors need to be considered before deciding to launch an ICO, such as project selection criteria, founder flexibility, platform fees, and post-launch support. The following comparison table can help you understand all these factors at a glance. Web3 can bring together users, traders, and contributors through incentive mechanisms based on verifiable reputation systems. Without mechanisms to weed out bad actors or attract suitable participants, most community token sales will remain immature, filled with a mixed group of believers and non-believers. The current Launchpad provides the team with an opportunity to improve the token economy and take the right first steps. The project needs tools to identify suitable users within the ecosystem and reward their tangible contributions. This includes influential users with active communities behind them, as well as founders or builders who create useful applications and experiences for others. These user groups play a vital role in driving the ecosystem's growth and should be incentivized for long-term retention. If the current momentum continues, the next generation of Launchpad may help solve the community launch problem in the cryptocurrency space, a problem that airdrops have failed to address.

Bubblemaps Suggests Over 50% of Bundled Meme Tokens May Originate in the USA

Bubblemaps Suggests Over 50% of Bundled Meme Tokens May Originate in the USA

The post Bubblemaps Suggests Over 50% of Bundled Meme Tokens May Originate in the USA appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cabal meme token launches, also known as bundled tokens, are damaging the trust in permissionless platforms, with 50% originating from the USA according to Bubblemaps analysis. These insider-driven creations provide unfair advantages to teams through hidden wallet allocations and front-running, leading to suspicion around most new token generations. 50% of bundled tokens trace back to USA-based X accounts, as identified by Bubblemaps through location data cross-checks. Bundled launches involve team allocations that disguise holdings across multiple wallets, sniping trades ahead of retail investors. Meme token activity is concentrated on networks like Solana, with launches often tied to American cultural trends and slowing in late 2025, per platform data showing reduced high-valuation builds. Discover how 50% of cabal meme token launches originate in the USA, impacting crypto trust. Explore bundled token risks and trends in 2025 for smarter investing. What Are Cabal Meme Token Launches and Why Do They Hurt Permissionless Platforms? Cabal meme token launches refer to bundled token creations where development teams secure unfair advantages through pre-allocated holdings and coordinated wallet strategies. These practices undermine permissionless launchpads by fostering suspicion and reducing investor confidence, as teams often sell into initial price pumps. Bubblemaps research highlights that such launches frequently involve automation and short-term trading, exacerbating rug pull risks in the meme coin ecosystem. How Do Bundled Tokens Originate Predominantly in the USA? Bubblemaps analysis reveals that over 50% of investigated bundled tokens link to USA-based X accounts, determined by cross-referencing asset profiles with disclosed locations on the platform. This concentration aligns with high network usage on Solana and the prevalence of English-speaking social media trends influencing meme creation. While a smaller portion stems from the EU and just two from India, the USA dominance underscores regional influences on global meme token dynamics. Expert insights from Bubblemaps emphasize that these…

XRP Is Disappearing From Exchanges

XRP Is Disappearing From Exchanges

The post XRP Is Disappearing From Exchanges appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoin Analysis A technical pattern highlighted by well-known market analyst EGRAG CRYPTO has reopened discussion around whether XRP is approaching a decisive inflection point. Key Takeaways Binance reserves are dropping fast as long-term and institutional buyers accumulate XRP. U.S. spot ETFs continue to post steady inflows, tightening available supply. Price outlook depends on whether demand remains high while exchange liquidity keeps shrinking.  The analyst — who has repeatedly criticized fractal-based predictions — admitted that the current three-dimensional structure on the XRP chart is “difficult to ignore” because it closely resembles past setups that preceded sharp directional moves. Fractal Context and Probability Breakdown According to EGRAG, long consolidation periods in XRP followed by squeezes above key moving averages have historically been followed by strong moves, often without extended sideways activity afterward. Based strictly on structure — rather than sentiment — the analyst outlined the following likelihoods: 55% chance of a full breakout, 25% chance of a gradual and slower uptrend, 20% chance of a breakdown and deeper retest. He emphasized that the data does not guarantee direction, but does suggest that the chart has reached a point that historically produces major volatility. Exchange Data Supports Accumulation Narrative Independent on-chain data from CryptoQuant adds another layer to the current analysis. XRP reserves on Binance have now fallen to their lowest levels in months, signaling sustained outflows from exchanges toward private wallets.The most recent reading shows reserves near 2.7 billion XRP, down sharply from early October levels. XRP Reserves on Binance are Plummeting “If this trend continues, XRP could move into a more structured phase with an expanding institutional interest.” – By @Darkfost_Coc pic.twitter.com/7mCjJbGVkQ — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) November 27, 2025 Analysts typically interpret shrinking exchange balances as a sign that long-term holders and institutional buyers are absorbing supply faster than traders are returning…
