Popular crypto exchange Coinbase has been making rounds after announcing the launch of its new launchpad. Making its debut will be Monad, a high-performance EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain.
It is noteworthy that Coinbase’s launchpad will present U.S. retail investors with the opportunity to participate in public token sales for the first time since 2018, after the ICO boom collapsed alongside the market, leading to regulatory tightening.
Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, Matt Hougan, stated that ICOs will be a major narrative in 2026. Experts project that next year will usher in several major ICOs with valuations of at least $1 billion or more. In comparison with IPOs, the projected amount is not up to par; nonetheless, a successful trend of ICOs could make it stand out as a viable fundraising method.
Monad ICO details:
The token sale will run for a period of 1 week, starting from November 17, 2025, to November 22, 2025. It will be followed by Monad’s mainnet launch on November 24, 2025.
The team aims to raise $187.5 million from the ICO in addition to the $244 million they already secured from VCs. The ICO will offer 7.5% of the total supply, with a valuation of $2.5 billion. Upon a successful ICO, the total investments raised by the Monad ecosystem will be $431 million.
