Launch Coin Falls Over 30% as Developers Abandon Current Token Model

2 min read

The team behind LAUNCHCOIN announced it is switching to a new token design and ticker, implying that the current asset is outdated.

The price of Launch Coin on Believe (LAUNCHCOIN) sank more than 30% on Thursday, Oct. 16, after developers said they were scrapping its original model, calling it too outdated to keep up with the growing demands of the Believe ecosystem.

In an X thread yesterday, the Solana-based token launchpad said that the original design of the LAUNCHCOIN token “didn’t anticipate the long-term needs of the Believe ecosystem,” announcing an upgrade to a new token called BELIEVE.

Per the announcement, under the upgrade plan, LAUNCHCOIN will eventually be phased out after a two-week swap window, ending Oct. 29, though a final claim period remains open until Nov. 12.

After that, support for LAUNCHCOIN will cease, and all unclaimed tokens will be burned, according to the official Believe website.

Shortly after the announcement, the token tanked 34%, falling from $0.1089 on Oct. 16 to $0.07189, per data from DEX Screener.

The pivot has raised some eyebrows among token holders, with multiple comments criticizing the team’s plan to increase Launch Coin’s current token supply in the switch. According to the Believe team’s X post, the initial supply of BELIEVE will be set at 1.33 billion tokens, which is about 30% higher than LAUNCOIN’s current circulating supply, and 33% higher than its maximum supply, per CoinGecko — the the Believe team described it as “a 25% increase,” as multiple replies to the post pointed out the discrepancy.

Under the new plan, 17% of tokens go to contributors with a four-year vesting and one-year lock, 5% to early investors with a one-year lock, and 3% to the foundation, while any unclaimed tokens will be burned to bring the total supply closer to 1 billion, per the X thread from Believe.

First launched in January as PASTERNAK and created by Australian entrepreneur Ben Pasternak through his launchpad platform Clout, the token was later renamed to LAUNCHCOIN and Clout was rebranded to Believe to better align with the platform’s new stated roadmap to support creator-driven communities.

The post Hoskinson to Attend Senate Roundtable on Crypto Regulation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Hoskinson confirmed for Senate roundtable on U.S. crypto regulation and market structure. Key topics include SEC vs CFTC oversight split, DeFi regulation, and securities rules. Critics call the roundtable slow, citing Trump’s 2025 executive order as faster.

Crypto insiders will meet with government officials Terrett shared information gathered from some invitees to the event, noting that a group of leaders from several major cryptocurrency establishments would attend the event. According to Terrett, the group will meet with the Senate Banking Committee leadership in a roundtable to continue talks on market structure regulation. Meanwhile, Terrett noted that the meeting will be held on Thursday, September 18, following an industry review of the committee’s latest approach to distinguishing securities from commodities, DeFi treatment, and other key issues, which has lasted over one week.  Related: Senate Draft Bill Gains Experts’ Praise for Strongest Developer Protections in Crypto Law Notably, the upcoming roundtable between US legislators and crypto industry leaders is a continuation of the process of regularising cryptocurrency regulation in the United States. It is part of the Donald Trump administration’s efforts to provide clarity in the US cryptocurrency ecosystem, which many crypto supporters consider a necessity for the digital asset industry. Despite the ongoing process, some crypto users are unsatisfied with how the US government is handling the issue, particularly the level of bureaucracy involved in creating a lasting cryptocurrency regulatory framework. One such user criticized the process, describing it as a “masterclass in bureaucratic foot-dragging.” According to the critic, America is losing ground to nations already leading in blockchain innovation.
