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.

When Was the First ICO Held?

When Was the First ICO Held?

The post When Was the First ICO Held? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Back in 2017, ICOs raised over $5.6 billion, turning crypto fundraising into one of the biggest financial experiments of the decade. It started as a daring leap of faith, where early believers backed ideas with nothing but tokens and trust, cutting out banks and venture capitalists. It also reshaped how you invest, how projects launch, and how regulations are born. In this article, we’ll look at when the First initial Coin Offering was held, where it all started, and how that moment forever changed blockchain funding. The first initial coin offering took place in 2013 with Mastercoin, marking the beginning of community-driven crypto fundraising and changing how blockchain projects raised money. The brief history of initial coin offerings shows how early projects like Ethereum and Tezos shaped today’s token launch models and investor behavior. Popular altcoins such as Ethereum, EOS, Filecoin, Tezos, and Polkadot proved that strong ideas, clear use cases, and active communities drive long-term success. When was the First Initial Coin Offering Held? The first ICO took place in 2013, when a project called Mastercoin (later renamed Omni Layer) launched what many now call the first token sales or first initial coin offering. Mastercoin was built as a protocol on top of Bitcoin. J.R. Willett developed it to let people create new tokens and smart contracts on the Bitcoin network, something that didn’t exist back then. The public sale ran from July to August 2013, during which supporters sent Bitcoin to a public wallet address, and tokens were issued manually in return. In total, it raised around 5,000 BTC, worth about $500,000 at the time. It was a huge milestone for a new fundraising idea. Each token was priced at 100 Mastercoin per 1 BTC. The sale didn’t have a formal hard cap, which was typical for early…

Slips Below $1,000. Will It Breach $970 Support?

Slips Below $1,000. Will It Breach $970 Support?

The post Slips Below $1,000. Will It Breach $970 Support? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BNB Chain’s native asset, BNB, fell below the closely watched $1,000 level over the last 24-hour period, hitting a $974 low in a move that marked a shift into bearish territory. The decline came with a surge in trading volume, nearly 88% above its 24-hour average, suggesting large-scale selling according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model. The token has been establishing a consistent downward trend after it hit a high of around $1,300 earlier this year. Attempts to rebound failed to push the price back above $1,000, and technical patterns, such as lower highs and a failed double bottom near $975, indicate more potential downside ahead. Still, some see the long-term picture as more stable. “Short-term volatility doesn’t shape the foundation of BNB’s innovation,” Jake A., an analyst at BNB-linked project AIC, told CoinDesk. “While market sentiment weighs on price action in the near-term, what matters is infrastructure, including the new generation of token launchpads that drive on-chain utility.” BNB now faces immediate resistance in the $1,000–$1,008 range, while support sits around $972.85, with a psychological floor at $970. If that breaks, analysts are watching $959 as the next potential target. The decline over the past 24-hour period came amid a broader crypto market drop, with the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index losing 2.16% of its value over the period.

Which Cheap Crypto Will Make You the Most in 1 Year?

Which Cheap Crypto Will Make You the Most in 1 Year?

The post Which Cheap Crypto Will Make You the Most in 1 Year? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The meme coin sector is once again under the spotlight as traders seek high-upside plays ahead of the market breakout. Pepe Coin, the legacy frog-themed token that made headlines in 2023, and Little Pepe (LILPEPE), a Layer 2 project that many now consider the meme world’s next big hit, are two relatively inexpensive cryptos attracting investors. Where will your $1,500 bet work better? How about we take a better look? Pepe Coin Struggles at the Bottom But Still Has a Shot at Recovery Pepe Coin’s been struggling lately. Lately, it has hit its lowest point in a year, losing close to 40% of its value over the last eleven months or so. Additionally, the funding rate continues to decline, while open interest has dropped to around $200 million. That suggests investors aren’t rushing in – most are staying cautious instead. PEPE just bounced after hitting a key floor around 0.0000052 – a spot that sparked a 350% surge back in late 2024. Since the RSI is nearing 30, it’s likely oversold; analysts suggest a bounce may occur once trading resumes. PEPE Price Chart | Source: CoinGecko If the momentum holds, levels at 0.000012 and 0.000028 may give 130% or 300% increases from current levels. If it breaks crucial support, Pepe may fall further, extending the downtrend. PEPE is one of the most recognized meme coins, but its ample circulating supply makes it harder to win percentages than smaller-cap competitors. That’s why many traders are turning to Little Pepe, which offers both novelty and fresh upside potential. Little Pepe Is Redefining the Meme Coin Market Little Pepe is quickly emerging as one of the most promising new tokens in the crypto space. Unlike traditional meme coins, it’s building an entire Layer 2 blockchain dedicated to memes, with lightning-fast transactions, near-zero fees,…

Morning Minute: Coinbase Leans in to ICOs, Monad Up First

The analysis and opinions expressed are his own and do not necessarily reflect those of Decrypt. Subscribe to the Morning Minute on Substack. GM! Today’s top news: Crypto majors fall overnight; BTC -1% at $104,800 Coinbase unveils Coinbase Token Sales ICO platform, will host MON sale Monad shared tokenomics and public sale details for MON ($2.5B fdv) Uniswap plans to turn fee switch on, burn 100M UNI tokens (UNI +20%) US Treasury and IRS issue guidance to make staking easier for ETFs 🚀 Coinbase Unveils Its Own Token Launchpad, With Monad Up First And Monad stands to benefit first. 📌 What Happened Coinbase just unveiled a new “Coinbase Token Sales” platform as a regulated, transparent way for retail users to buy new tokens directly through the app. This is Coinbase effectively reintroducing public token launches to U.S. retail for the first time since the 2017 ICO boom. TLDR: The platform will host monthly sales, starting with Monad’s MON token from Nov. 17–22 Users can submit purchase requests in USDC during a one-week window, with allocations determined by a “bottom-up” algorithm that fills smaller orders first to maximize distribution. Tokens purchased will automatically be listed on Coinbase after the sale, giving projects immediate liquidity and visibility. Users who sell within the first 30 days of token launch are likely to be penalized for future distributions. This all comes after acquiring Cobie’s Echo platform for $400M just a month ago. 🗣️ What They’re Saying “We designed token sales to be the ideal way to launch – transparent, fair, and compliant.” – Coinbase blog “This is the first broad-based, retail-accessible token sale in the U.S. since 2018.” – Company statement “We’re excited to make MON our first listing, bringing Monad’s high-throughput tech to millions of new users.” – Coinbase announcement…

Maggie Sellers Reum’s HSR Ventures Invests In Bird&Be Amidst Ulta Beauty Expansion

The post Maggie Sellers Reum’s HSR Ventures Invests In Bird&Be Amidst Ulta Beauty Expansion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bird&Be is now available at Ulta. Courtesy of Bird&Be Maggie Sellers Reum’s HSR Ventures invests in Bird&Be as it expands into Ulta Beauty nationwide. Bird&Be, founded by Samantha Diamond, is a fertility and reproductive health company that Diamond started due to her own personal struggles with the confusing and often gendered landscape of fertility products. Diamond created Bird&Be to provide science-backed, inclusive, and accessible fertility care. The brand has become known for its at-home fertility testing, such as ovulation and sperm testing. Unlike traditional VCs, HSR Ventures offers a unique advantage to founders and brands beyond a check. Sellers Reum takes pride in helping founders build a narrative and brand that’s hard to ignore. Built for the next generation of founders, especially women, who understand that visibility is as valuable as venture dollars. While traditional funds are optimized for capital efficiency, HSR Ventures is optimized for cultural efficiency, helping founders earn trust, design a brand that converts, and build momentum in both media and market. Samantha Diamond, founder of Bird&Be, and Maggie Sellers Reum, founder of Hot Smart Rich. Courtesy of Bird&Be “Through HSR Media and the Hot Smart Rich podcast, we give our founders immediate access to one of the fastest-growing female business audiences in North America, with over 275,000 women across platforms who move markets and shape culture. That reach translates into storytelling power most early-stage brands can’t buy: podcast features, newsletter spotlights, and community-driven amplification that directly impacts awareness and conversion. But what truly differentiates HSR is our network effect. We bridge founders, investors, and tastemakers across the HSR community, our affiliated funds like M13, and funds we’ve invested alongside, like Google Ventures, and our broader ecosystem of operators who have built category-defining companies,” explained Sellers Reum. “When we hosted our recent dinner to announce the Bird&Be…

Chainlink lanceert Confidential Compute: nieuwe upgrade brengt privacy naar blockchain voor banken en DeFi

Chainlink lanceert Confidential Compute: nieuwe upgrade brengt privacy naar blockchain voor banken en DeFi

Chainlink heeft de upgrade Confidential Compute aangekondigd, een nieuwe stap in de richting van veilige, privacy-gerichte blockchain-infrastructuur. Wat doet dit nieuws met de koers van LINK?  Check onze Discord Connect met "like-minded" crypto enthousiastelingen Leer gratis de basis van Bitcoin & trading - stap voor stap, zonder voorkennis. Krijg duidelijke uitleg & charts van ervaren analisten. Sluit je aan bij een community die samen groeit. Nu naar Discord Chainlink lanceert Confidential Compute De upgrade maakt gebruik van zogenoemde Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) om gevoelige data buiten de blockchain te verwerken zonder dat de vertrouwelijkheid in gevaar komt. Volgens Chainlink is Confidential Compute ontworpen om het gat te dichten tussen de transparantie van publieke blockchains en de privacy-eisen van institutionele gebruikers. De upgrade richt zich vooral op toepassingen binnen DeFi, tokenisatie en financiële instellingen die gevoelige informatie willen beschermen. De upgrade vormt een cruciale uitbreiding van het Chainlink-ecosysteem. De oracles van Chainlink brengen reeds externe data veilig op de blockchain. Deze upgrade gaat echter een stap verder: het verwerkt gevoelige informatie off-chain in een versleutelde omgeving, waarna enkel de relevante resultaten naar het smart contract zijn teruggestuurd. Hiermee kunnen instellingen vertrouwelijke financiële berekeningen uitvoeren, zoals kredietanalyses, afgeleide producten en onderpandevaluaties, zonder bedrijfsgevoelige data openbaar te maken. In combinatie met Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) kunnen deze berekeningen ook tussen verschillende blockchains plaatsvinden, wat een belangrijke stap is richting schaalbare en interoperabele financiële netwerken. De upgrade opent de deur naar vertrouwelijke leningen, derivatenhandel en tokenisatie van echte activa. Zo kunnen banken of vermogensbeheerders risicomodellen en liquiditeitsstrategieën op blockchain uitvoeren zonder concurrentiegevoelige informatie te delen. Testen met JPMorgan en Swift Volgens bronnen binnen het ecosysteem testen onder meer JPMorgan en Swift de nieuwe functionaliteit om veilige private datafeeds te integreren. Dit kan een oplossing bieden voor een van de grootste drempels bij traditionele financiële instellingen (TradFi): blootstelling van vertrouwelijke data aan publieke netwerken. Door berekeningen te verplaatsen naar een beveiligde enclave buiten de blockchain, kunnen instellingen profiteren van de transparantie en efficiëntie van Web3-infrastructuur zonder hun gegevens op straat te leggen. Marktanalisten spreken van een potentiële 20% tot 30% koersstijging van LINK als de adoptie breed doorslaat, al blijft dat voorlopig speculatief. De daadwerkelijke prijsimpact hangt af van het geplande mainnet-uitrolmoment in het eerste kwartaal van 2026. Marktcontext: koers onder druk, fundamentals sterk Terwijl Chainlink technisch innoveert, blijft de koers van de native token LINK achter bij de markt. De token daalde de afgelopen week met ruim 12% en handelt momenteel rond $15,36, een daling van 2% in 24 uur. Het handelsvolume zakte met 44% naar $624 miljoen, wat wijst op toenemende terughoudendheid onder beleggers. De marktkapitalisatie van $10,7 miljard houdt Chainlink stevig binnen de categorie van grote cryptoprojecten, maar het koersverloop weerspiegelt de huidige volatiliteit in de sector. Toch wijzen analisten erop dat de fundamentele ontwikkelingen, waaronder Confidential Compute, juist de basis kunnen leggen voor een nieuw groeifase zodra marktsentiment verbetert. Technische analyse: cruciale steun in zicht Technisch analisten signaleren dat LINK momenteel een cruciale langetermijn-steunlijn nadert. Volgens analist Ali Martinez bevindt de token zich op een structureel niveau dat in eerdere cycli belangrijke trendomkeringen markeerde. Chainlink $LINK has reached a crucial support trendline that could act as a launchpad for a move to $26 or even $47. pic.twitter.com/TeuYDlyDwR — Ali (@ali_charts) November 8, 2025 Hij ziet ook dat er ruim 63 miljoen LINK van beurzen is gehaald. In the past month, over 63 million Chainlink $LINK have been withdrawn from exchanges! pic.twitter.com/ZN8L921IKG — Ali (@ali_charts) November 11, 2025 Een krachtige verdediging van deze zone kan dienen als lanceerplatform voor een herstelrally. Bij voldoende koopdruk mikken handelaren op een eerste weerstandszone rond $26, gevolgd door een langere-termijndoelstelling van $47 als marktsentiment sterk herstelt. Zakt de koers echter door deze steun, dan kan een tijdelijke consolidatiefase volgen waarin LINK zich opnieuw moet stabiliseren voordat een volgende opwaartse beweging mogelijk wordt.

Enerzijds zwakke prijstrends en afnemend handelsvolume, aan de andere kant sterke fundamentele groei met een duidelijke institutionele focus. Dat spanningsveld maakt Chainlink tot een interessant observatiepunt voor professionele beleggers. Bulls hopen dat Confidential Compute de trigger wordt voor hernieuwde vraag vanuit grote partijen, terwijl bears vooral kijken of de steunlijn standhoudt. In zulke marktfases ontstaan vaak de kiemen van een trendomslag, zeker wanneer technologische vernieuwing hand in hand gaat met toenemende institutionele betrokkenheid. Vooruitblik: mainnet begin 2026 Het Confidential Compute-testnet is inmiddels operationeel, terwijl de mainnet-lancering gepland staat voor Q1 2026. Met deze release versterkt Chainlink zijn dominante positie binnen de oraclemarkt en breidt het zijn rol uit als privacy-laag voor DeFi- en institutionele toepassingen. De innovatie balanceert tussen twee fundamentele pijlers van blockchain: openbaarheid en vertrouwelijkheid. Waar transparantie het vertrouwen binnen decentrale netwerken vergroot, is privacy essentieel om grote financiële instellingen aan boord te krijgen. Chainlink probeert die schijnbare tegenstelling nu technisch te overbruggen. “De toekomst van on-chain finance is niet puur publiek, maar programmatisch vertrouwelijk,” aldus Sergey Nazarov, mede-oprichter van Chainlink. “Met Confidential Compute kunnen instellingen blockchaintechnologie gebruiken op een manier die compatibel is met hun interne compliance- en privacy-regels.” “The financial system getting rebuilt in a better, more reliable, more secure, more transparent way is really going to be the big long-term value.” Chainlink co-founder @SergeyNazarov joins @AltcoinDaily’s Austin Arnold to explore the evolution of crypto from early use cases to… pic.twitter.com/3ZvU9YflR3 — Chainlink (@chainlink) November 7, 2025 Best wallet - betrouwbare en anonieme wallet Best wallet - betrouwbare en anonieme wallet Meer dan 60 chains beschikbaar voor alle crypto Vroege toegang tot nieuwe projecten Hoge staking belongingen Lage transactiekosten Best wallet review Koop nu via Best Wallet Let op: cryptocurrency is een zeer volatiele en ongereguleerde investering.
