Monad Disrupts Crypto Fundraising: Coinbase’s Game-Changing 2025 Launchpad

Move over, traditional VC rounds—Monad just rewrote the rulebook for crypto fundraising on Coinbase.

The new gold rush

Coinbase's infrastructure now hosts Monad's permissionless capital engine, slicing through red tape like a hot knife through regulatory butter. No more begging Silicon Valley suits for crumbs when code can mint millionaires overnight.

Why institutions are sweating

The platform's smart contract architecture bypasses legacy gatekeepers entirely. Liquidity pools replace pitch decks. Tokenized equity makes preferred shares look like medieval relics. (Take that, Sequoia.)

The cynical twist

Of course, this being crypto, half the projects will rug pull by 2026—but the other half might actually build the future of finance. Place your bets.

In Brief

• Monad will be the first project launched via the public token sale platform on Coinbase.
• The system favors smaller buyers to limit the concentration of crypto tokens.
• 7.5% of MON will be sold at $0.025, with an airdrop in parallel.
• Sales will be monthly, open to 80 countries, including the United States.

A Fairer System for Token Sales

Forget the chaotic ICOs of yesterday. Coinbase offers a new approach to distribute tokens more fairly. The idea? To end the “first come, first served” model, often dominated by bots and whales. Through an algorithm called “filling up from the bottom,” the smallest investors are served first.

Auctions are held in USDC, between $100 and $100,000. The less you ask for, the better your chances of being served. And if you sell too quickly after purchase, your future allocation will decrease. A simple but effective strategy to reward true supporters.

Coinbase explains it clearly:

We have created a sale design that prioritizes genuine supporters of the project. Users who resell their tokens shortly after listing (less than 30 days) may receive lesser allocations in the future.  

A model that aims to combine loyalty, inclusivity, and sustainability in the crypto ecosystem.

Monad, the Blockchain That Wants to Democratize Crypto

Monad is not just another project. It presents itself as a catalyst for mass crypto adoption. Ultra-fast, EVM-compatible, and designed for intensive use cases like high-frequency trading, it combines performance and decentralization.

But above all, Monad wants to burst the crypto bubble to reach the general public. Keone Hon, co-founder, states:

This public sale is an attempt to fulfill the original promise of crypto: open, fair, inclusive finance. Monad was designed to bring the general public onboard and provide them with technology ready for mass adoption. 

With a sale price of $0.025 per MON, 7.5% of the supply is made available to the public. If the sale is full, that represents $187.5 million raised. In parallel, 285,000 accounts will receive an airdrop, further reinforcing the idea of a public and inclusive launch.

Coinbase Changes the Rules of the Game in the Crypto Industry

The launch of Monad marks not just a first. It opens a new chapter for global crypto finance. Since 2018, American citizens have not had access to ICOs. Coinbase breaks this barrier by allowing participation in over 80 countries, including the United States, and with no fees for buyers.

Unlike other platforms, Coinbase charges no entry fees. Only issuers pay a commission on collected USDC. It’s a model that bets on sustainability, transparency, and regulatory compliance. A turning point for the entire crypto market.

Key Takeaways:

• November 17 to 22, 2025: first public MON sale on Coinbase;
• $0.025 per MON, with an entry ticket between $100 and $100,000;
• 80 eligible countries, including the United States;
• 285,000 accounts eligible for the MON airdrop;
• 1 token sale per month planned by Coinbase starting November.

And this is just the beginning. Other projects are already expected, with tokens related to decentralized finance, stablecoins, or asset tokenization. With this platform, Coinbase could become the central entry point for public token sales within a legal framework.

Coinbase is accelerating further. Latest announcement: a strategic partnership with Citi to enable cross-border payments in stablecoins. This initiative, designed to simplify global transfers, marks a decisive turning point. Crypto is now entering a new phase: one of concrete, daily, and globalized use.
