Coinbase just rolled out a full-scale token launchpad platform aimed at letting everyday retail investors get in on early-stage crypto projects. The first blockchain using this service will be Monad, a high-performance Layer 1 network.
The platform integrates the entire lifecycle, fundraising, token issuance, listing, and secondary trading, all through Coinbase’s exchange infrastructure. This gives regular people access to opportunities that were previously only available to big venture capital funds and wealthy investors.
Here’s how it works: Coinbase will host roughly one token sale per month. Investors get a week to sign up if they want to participate. After that, an algorithm divides up the tokens among buyers, aiming to keep things fair and give more people a chance to get in.
The timing makes sense; October saw a ton of projects launching token generation events and fundraising rounds, including Monad, Enso, and Yei Finance. The token sale boom is clearly gaining momentum.
This launch comes right after Coinbase dropped $375 million to acquire Echo, a company specializing in online crypto fundraising that had already helped over 300 projects raise more than $200 million.
For Monad, being the first project on Coinbase’s platform means massive exposure and legitimacy. For retail investors, it levels the playing field against venture funds. And for the industry, it brings structure and regulation to early-stage fundraising.
Conclusion
Coinbase launched a regulated token sales platform with Monad as the first listing, offering retail investors early-stage monthly access through integrated fundraising, issuance, listing, and trading infrastructure following the $375 million Echo acquisition.
