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.

Troll Football launches FOOTBALL coin live on Pump.fun

Troll Football launches FOOTBALL coin live on Pump.fun

The post Troll Football launches FOOTBALL coin live on Pump.fun appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Football memes X account Troll Football drew mixed reactions when it launched its first digital asset, a Solana-based token called FOOTBALL, through memecoin launchpad Pump.fun on Wednesday. Troll Football is one of the most recognized meme pages in global football culture, with more than 4.8 million followers on X. The account claims over 100 million impressions per month and 2 billion total views in 2025. Many tokens launched on Pump.fun often start anonymously or with little community backing, but observers have noted that FOOTBALL has a major meme brand behind it.  The launch is the first step of the project’s four-part roadmap that promises collaborations with professional players, brand tie-ins, and more additions from football culture. According to its website, FOOTBALL takes the passion of football fandom to crypto markets as a sports-focused memecoin supported by an already-established global community. Trading data from DEXScreener shows FOOTBALL surged after its launch, climbing to an early high of $0.0021. However, the token quickly retraced, falling back to around $0.00162 as of Thursday morning trading. The drop is approximately 22% from its peak price on the same day. At press time, the token has a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $1.6 million and a market capitalization of $1.6 million, with reported liquidity of around $167,000. Trading activity has recorded over 76,000 transactions and over $2 million in volume since it debuted. Despite the price retracement in the last half hour, FOOTBALL has recorded a 438% increase in the past 24 hours, according to market tracking data, as early speculators moved in on the launch. Troll Football may have attempted to present FOOTBALL as a fan-driven token with mass appeal, but social media reactions have been largely on the negative side. Under the project’s announcement post on X, several users accused the account of…

Dogecoin Will Hit $4 This Bull Run— ‘It’s All Math,’ Says Analyst

Dogecoin Will Hit $4 This Bull Run— ‘It’s All Math,’ Says Analyst

The post Dogecoin Will Hit $4 This Bull Run— ‘It’s All Math,’ Says Analyst appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto analyst Cantonese Cat (@cantonmeow on X) argues that DOGE remains in a long-duration advance that has not yet delivered its terminal impulse. In a video analysis published on October 1, the analyst lays out a multi-cycle framework built on logarithmic charting, Elliott Wave structure, and Fibonacci extensions, concluding that a run toward roughly $4 per coin is the most probable outcome of the current bull phase. “It’s all math,” he says, adding that liquidity dynamics and market structure—not simplistic notions of market capitalization—will determine how far the move extends. Dogecoin To $4? The analyst opens by dispelling social-media speculation about his identity—“even though I sound like Elon Musk, I’m not Elon Musk. I’m just a random cat”—before pivoting to the core claim: the long-term Dogecoin chart on a log scale shows three pronounced rounding-bottom cycles, each resolving higher, with the third now in progress. He characterizes the present structure as a sequence of cup-and-handle formations within that broader rounding base. “During this round of bottoms, we keep on having these kinds of cups and handle type patterns. And every single time when you have a handle… people get extremely, extremely bitter and sad. And I’ve just been buying the handle all the way down,” he says, noting his accumulation began “years” ago and that subsequent pullbacks remained buying opportunities within the cycle view. At the center of the thesis is an Elliott Wave roadmap that treats the 2021 mania as Wave Three, a prolonged corrective phase as Wave Four, and the emerging uptrend as the start of Wave Five. The analyst back-tests the structure using Fibonacci retracements and extensions on a log chart. He highlights that Wave Two retraced to the 0.5 level—“a common retracement for wave two”—while the Wave Three top aligned with a 1.618 extension of Wave…

Even If Shiba Inu Achieved Cardano’s Market Cap and Entered Top 10, It Still Wouldn’t Hit $0.0001, Best Meme Coin to Buy Instead

Even If Shiba Inu Achieved Cardano’s Market Cap and Entered Top 10, It Still Wouldn’t Hit $0.0001, Best Meme Coin to Buy Instead

Even if Shiba Inu ($SHIB) mirrored Cardano’s ($ADA) market cap, reaching $29.85 billion, the token would still trade far below $0.0001. Calculations suggest $SHIB would only climb to $0.00005065, reflecting a mere 4.15x increase from its current $0.00001222.  Meanwhile, Cardano’s ATH at $3.08377 highlights how substantial market cap alone cannot drive meme coin price explosions.

Why Do You Always Lose the Meme Coin Trade? Galaxy Reveals

Why Do You Always Lose the Meme Coin Trade? Galaxy Reveals

The post Why Do You Always Lose the Meme Coin Trade? Galaxy Reveals appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A new Galaxy Research report finds that the primary beneficiaries of the meme coins are not the traders, but the infrastructure providers.  Platforms such as launchpads, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and automated trading bots capture substantial revenues. Meanwhile, the majority of individual participants incur losses in what is called a zero-sum game with negative expected value (EV). The Meme Coin Paradox: Mass Participation, Concentrated Profits  Sponsored Sponsored Meme coins, often described as tokens created around internet jokes or cultural trends with no utility, have been around for over a decade. Notably, the surge in popularity and ease of creation has sparked a full-scale boom. Millions of new tokens have flooded the market in the past few years. Traders are frequently drawn to this space by the promise of quick profits. Nonetheless, Galaxy Digital noted that,  “Trading them is less about fundamentals and more about what can be described as ‘cultural arbitrage’: predicting or front-running attention cycles, e.g., buying the token for a viral TikTok trend before the market recognizes it is viral. In the long run, the vast majority of market participants end up losing money trading meme coins, and in many respects, it’s just plain gambling.” In the latest report, Galaxy Digital’s research analyst Will Owens explained that the meme coin ecosystem functions as a stack. Here, the flow of money is mostly concentrated in the infrastructure that supports creation and trading. Meme Coin Ecosystem Structure.

A new Galaxy Research report finds that the primary beneficiaries of the meme coins are not the traders, but the infrastructure providers.  Platforms such as launchpads, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and automated trading bots capture substantial revenues.

The blockchain accounts for 56% of the 57 million meme coins across major chains, including Ethereum, Base, and BNB Chain.  “Base and BSC also host significant activity, while Ethereum hosts bigger tokens and a less cutthroat culture,” the report reads. Solana’s low fees and high throughput have made it the preferred venue, with meme coins accounting for approximately 20- 30% of its DEX trading volume, down from 60% in January. Next, launchpads form a critical layer, enabling rapid token deployment. Solana’s Pump.fun, which debuted in early 2024, exemplifies this trend by industrializing the process through bonding curves that guarantee liquidity at minimal cost.  The platform has created about 12.9 million tokens, which make up 40.31% of the total 32 million Solana tokens. Tokens launched on Pump.fun boast an aggregated fully diluted market cap (FDMC) exceeding $4.8 billion, though this peaked above $10 billion earlier in the year.  “The power-law distribution of value among Pump.fun tokens is astonishing. Out of nearly 12.9 million tokens launched on the platform, just 12 account for more than half of all fully diluted market cap (FDMC). Those dozen tokens collectively represent $2.69 billion, or 56% of the total $4.8 billion FDMC, while the other 44% is split among the remaining millions of tokens,” Owens noted. Furthermore, Pump.fun has generated significant fees from creation and trading. In summer 2024, it briefly lost ground to competitors like LetsBonk. Nonetheless, the launchpad reclaimed dominance through innovations such as Project Ascend, which introduces dynamic fee models for creators, and integrations with streamers for interactive launches. Meanwhile, DEX aggregators and automated market makers (AMMs) like Jupiter, Raydium, Orca, and Pump.fun’s in-house PumpSwap further extract value by handling immediate post-launch trading. These platforms benefit from high volumes, with meme coins fueling user acquisition and ecosystem growth. Trading bots, including Axiom, BONKbot, and Trojan, enhance this by enabling sniping—purchasing tokens at inception—and rapid execution, contributing to a hyper-competitive, player-versus-player (PvP) environment.  “Axiom, for example, has broken $200 million in cumulative revenue with a team of less than 10 individuals,” the report highlighted. Lastly, token deployers, insiders, and key opinion leaders (KOLs) also reap rewards. Developers and insiders often retain large supply portions in hidden wallets, dumping into retail liquidity for gains. KOLs on platforms like X amplify narratives through coordinated campaigns. “X (formerly Twitter) communities and Telegram groups amplify memes and coordinate shilling campaigns. Communities are incentivized to push their token higher, with collective belief substituting for fundamentals. KOLs are a huge part of this layer,” the analyst wrote. Key Crypto KOLs on X. Source: Galaxy Digital Are Retail Traders the Biggest Losers in the Meme Coin Boom?  In contrast, most traders face structural disadvantages. The report revealed that the median hold time for Solana meme coins is around 100 seconds. This is quite a drop from 300 seconds a year prior. “This means that the average participant isn’t ‘holding’ a token for hours, let alone days. Instead, they’re rotating rapidly, scalping a few percent profit against other traders in what is essentially a PvP trading game,” Owens detailed. Risks abound, including honeypots—tokens that allow buys but block sells—rug pulls, where insiders withdraw liquidity, and vamping, where copycats siphon value from originals. High-profile incidents, such as the LIBRA token incident, have resulted in millions in trader losses while insiders profited.  This ecosystem paradox highlights a broader trend: while meme coins serve as onramps to cryptocurrency, drawing new users into wallets and DEXs, the speculative frenzy primarily enriches a concentrated group of infrastructure owners.  For most participants, trading remains negative EV. Thus, meme coins may look like a casino, but it’s the house — not the players — that always wins.

The Hidden Winners of the Memecoin Boom: Platforms, Not Traders

The Hidden Winners of the Memecoin Boom: Platforms, Not Traders

The post The Hidden Winners of the Memecoin Boom: Platforms, Not Traders appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins The wild world of memecoins may look like a gold rush for retail investors, but new research shows the bigger payday is happening elsewhere. According to Galaxy Research, the platforms that launch, trade, and automate these tokens are quietly raking in hundreds of millions while most speculators end up holding losses. Instead of being driven by long-term communities or utility, the memecoin trade has become dominated by bots and scalpers. On Solana, where activity is most intense, the average lifespan of a trade has shrunk to under two minutes – a clear signal that automation, not human conviction, is steering the market. One striking beneficiary is Axiom, a lean trading service with fewer than ten staff that has already collected more than $200 million in fees. Other players like BONKbot and Trojan are profiting by charging users for sniping capabilities that can grab tokens the instant they go live. At the center of this ecosystem sits Pump.fun, the Solana-based launchpad that has industrialized token creation. Nearly 13 million of Solana’s 32 million tokens now trace back to Pump.fun, and the combined value of its projects has ballooned to almost $5 billion. In September, it handled over a billion dollars in trading in just a single day. The platform has even launched its own coin, PUMP, which raised $500 million in minutes during its July sale. Revenue figures are equally dramatic – DefiLlama data shows around $120 million in fees in the past month alone. Galaxy’s report suggests that while memecoins remain culturally explosive and capable of drawing waves of new users into crypto, the sustainable business is being built around the infrastructure. In other words, the casinos are cashing in far more reliably than the gamblers. The information provided in this article is for educational purposes only and does…
