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.

Asia Morning Briefing: Fragility or Back on Track? BTC Holds the Line at $115K

Asia Morning Briefing: Fragility or Back on Track? BTC Holds the Line at $115K

Good Morning, Asia. Here's what's making news in the markets:Welcome to Asia Morning Briefing, a daily summary of top stories during U.S. hours and an overview of market moves and analysis. For a detailed overview of U.S. markets, see CoinDesk's Crypto Daybook Americas.Bitcoin (BTC) traded just above $115k in Asia Tuesday morning, slipping slightly after a strong start to the week.The modest pullback followed a run of inflows into U.S. spot ETFs and lingering optimism that the Federal Reserve will cut rates next week. The moves left traders divided: is this recovery built on fragile foundations, or is crypto firmly back on track after last week’s CPI-driven jitters?That debate is playing out across research desks. Glassnode’s weekly pulse emphasizes fragility. While ETF inflows surged nearly 200% last week and futures open interest jumped, the underlying spot market looks weak.Buying conviction remains shallow, Glassnode writes, funding rates have softened, and profit-taking is on the rise with more than 92% of supply in profit.Options traders have also scaled back downside hedges, pushing volatility spreads lower, which Glassnode warns leaves the market exposed if risk returns. The core message: ETFs and futures are supporting the rally, but without stronger spot flows, BTC remains vulnerable.QCP takes the other side.The Singapore-based desk says crypto is “back on track” after CPI confirmed tariff-led inflation without major surprises. They highlight five consecutive days of sizeable BTC ETF inflows, ETH’s biggest inflow in two weeks, and strength in XRP and SOL even after ETF delays.Traders, they argue, are interpreting regulatory postponements as inevitability rather than rejection. With the Altcoin Season Index at a 90-day high, QCP sees BTC consolidation above $115k as the launchpad for rotation into higher-beta assets.The divide underscores how Bitcoin’s current range near $115k–$116k is a battleground. Glassnode calls it fragile optimism; QCP calls it momentum. Which side is right may depend on whether ETF inflows keep offsetting profit-taking in the weeks ahead.Market MovementBTC: Bitcoin is consolidating near the $115,000 level as traders square positions ahead of expected U.S. Fed policy moves; institutional demand via spot Bitcoin ETFs is supporting upsideETH: ETH is trading near $4500 in a key resistance band; gains are being helped by renewed institutional demand, tightening supply (exchange outflows), and positive technical setups.Gold: Gold continues to hold near record highs, underpinned by expectations of Fed interest rate cuts, inflation risk, and investor demand for safe havens; gains tempered somewhat by profit‑taking and a firmer U.S. dollarNikkei 225: Japan’s Nikkei 225 topped 45,000 for the first time Monday, leading Asia-Pacific gains as upbeat U.S.-China trade talks and a TikTok divestment framework lifted sentiment.S&P 500: The S&P 500 rose 0.5% to close above 6,600 for the first time on Monday as upbeat U.S.-China trade talks and anticipation of a Fed meeting lifted stocks.Elsewhere in CryptoCoinbase App Store ranking suggests retail still on sidelines despite crypto rally (The Block)Robinhood Expands Private Equity Token Push With New Venture Capital Fund (CoinDesk)Strategy Adds $60 Million to Bitcoin Treasury in Smallest Buy in a Month (Decrypt)

Pump.fun’s PUMP revitalized by streaming success and record payouts

Pump.fun’s PUMP revitalized by streaming success and record payouts

The post Pump.fun’s PUMP revitalized by streaming success and record payouts appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun is riding a wave of renewed adoption, with its native PUMP token climbing to an all-time high. According to CryptoSlate’s data, PUMP surged to $0.0086 on Sept. 14, setting a fresh peak before retreating by nearly 3% to trade around $0.008 at press time. The latest move represents a sharp reversal for the asset, which had struggled for traction since its July debut and appeared to be losing ground to rival projects. However, Pump.fun has shifted momentum, leveraging product upgrades to regain market attention. Streaming growth A key driver of this rebound has been the relaunch of Pump.fun’s livestreaming feature. The platform, once criticized for unsafe broadcasts including instances of self-harm, paused the function last year. However, its reintroduction has triggered a surge in user activity, with livestreaming now contributing directly to engagement and platform revenue. Alon Cohen, Pump.fun’s co-founder, said the platform has already overtaken Rumble in average concurrent streams. He added that Pump.fun now controls roughly 1% of Twitch’s market share and 10% of Kick’s. Alon also signaled that the project no longer limits itself to crypto-native audiences but instead seeks a foothold in mainstream content streaming. He also outlined the several opportunities that streaming on the platform could provide users, by saying: “When you stream on pump fun you get INSTANT Creator Fees (100x+ of what you earn elsewhere). INSTANT viewership with a community that’s incentivized to support you. Free clipping on X (other socials soon). And 24/7 support from the team.” Despite ongoing criticism of its approach, Alon has brushed aside concerns, arguing that new entrants inevitably face scrutiny and that competitors will continue to emerge. He stated: “first they said that memecoin activity would never sustain then they said that no one would ever stream on pump fun now they’re saying…

Top 6 presales to invest in September 2025

Top 6 presales to invest in September 2025

The post Top 6 presales to invest in September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto presales have become a regular feature of the market, offering early access to tokens before they make it to public exchanges. For many projects, these presales act as a proving ground, giving teams a chance to showcase what they’re building and for early supporters to decide whether the idea has long-term potential.  With new projects entering the space every month, September brings another wave of presales that are drawing attention across different niches. Here’s a closer look at some of the most talked-about presales happening right now: 1. Best Wallet ($BEST) Best Wallet is aiming to simplify self-custody and bring Web3 tools into a single platform. The project sets itself apart by integrating features like a presale portal, a DEX aggregator, and even plans for a crypto debit card, all powered by its native $BEST token. Investing in the platform’s token grants users early access to curated presales, discounted transaction fees, and staking options that are available during the presale itself. Security is a key focus, with Fireblocks’ MPC-CMP technology in place and smart contract audits completed by Coinsult. The wallet supports more than 50 blockchains, and the team has chosen not to hold a private sale, keeping the presale open to the wider community. With an ambitious roadmap and clear utility, Best Wallet is building a gateway for users and developers to participate in Web3. 2. Troller Cat ($TCAT) Troller Cat is a meme coin project that mixes internet culture with structured tokenomics. Its $TCAT token uses a deflationary system, where tokens are burned as players take part in a play-to-earn game center. The presale also includes staking rewards of 69% APY, while locked liquidity is in place to support stability. At launch, the token is planned to list on UniSwap at $0.0005309. The presale runs through 26…

Ethereum Foundation’s PSE Rebrands & Emphasizes End-to-End Privacy – Best Wallet Enhances Crypto User Control

Ethereum Foundation’s PSE Rebrands & Emphasizes End-to-End Privacy – Best Wallet Enhances Crypto User Control

The Ethereum Foundation’s Privacy and Scaling Explorations team has rebranded as Privacy Stewards of Ethereum (PSE). Such a name change reflects its push to make end-to-end privacy an essential part of the network. As highlighted on PSE’s new roadmap, the team’s role ‘isn’t to own every solution in the space, but to drive clarity, focus, collaborations, and outcomes across the ecosystem.’ This way, they can ensure ‘privacy is treated as a first-class feature at the application layer.’ Alongside these developments, Best Wallet emerges as an excellent combo. The non-custodial crypto wallet gives you full control of your assets on Ethereum and beyond with top-notch safeguarding measures. Ethereum’s PSE Turns to Private Writes, Reads & Proving PSE’s ultimate vision is to make privacy on the Ethereum network a norm, not just an afterthought. It aims to achieve this through protections embedded across the entire stack, spanning protocol applications, wallets, and governance. Their roadmap is structured around three key tracks: Private writes: Makes private transactions, votes, and dApp interactions as easy and cost-effective as public ones; Private reads: Allows users to query balances, contracts, or data without exploring identity or intent; Private proving: Enables fast, Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) for secure, portable, and verifiable data sharing. To bring this to life, the PSE prioritizes transfers with PlasmaFold and privacy wallets, new voting systems with Aragon, and confidential DeFi standards for institutions. They’re also working on privacy-preserving Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs), mixnets, ZK-based identity, and a faster proving system. And all while emphasizing user experience, such as making privacy tools powerful yet super easy to use. Instead of building every solution itself, the PSE aims to collaborate openly with builders, researchers, and projects. By steering the network while encouraging open collaboration, the PSE is laying the foundation for a privacy-first Ethereum. Given that Best Wallet shares similar ethos, they work hand in hand to make crypto safer, more private, and user-centric. Best Wallet Combines Security, Presales & Cross-Chain Swaps Available on iOS and Google Play, the Best Wallet mobile app positions itself as a highly secure way to manage crypto while on the move. As a non-custodial wallet, it gives you complete access to your private keys. It also includes protections like 2FA, biometric, and local encryption, so only you can control your crypto holdings. Even if you happen to lose account access, you’ll easily be able to retrieve your assets thanks to the wallet’s encrypted cloud backups (with no seed or recovery phrase required). Better yet, it makes it super easy to buy, sell, manage, and swap over 1K assets across not just Ethereum but other major chains like BNB Chain and Polygon. In fact, it promises to support 60 networks in the future so that you can anticipate even broader crypto opportunities. Moreover, the app has its very own launchpad, allowing you to access the best crypto presales. That, coupled with a swap engine that scans more than 330 DEXs and 30 bridges, offers you the best possible rates. It also plans to launch more advanced tools, including market intel analytics, stop-loss orders, and derivatives trading. Best Wallet’s native token – $BEST – makes all this possible. The reason is that a sizable 25% of its total token supply is earmarked for product development, ensuring long-term growth for the entire ecosystem. And that’s not all. Holding $BEST unlocks additional benefits, including governance rights, staking rewards at an 84% APY, and lower gas fees. To reap the perks, you can buy $BEST on presale for just $0.025645, using either $ETH, $BNB, $USDT, $USDC, $FLOKI, SHIB, $PEPE, $DOGE, or fiat. Now’s a great time to do precisely that as new app developments could propel the token to $0.035215 this year – a potential ROI exceeding 35%.
