CoinTerminal’s Max Stochyk Duarte on Evolving Token Launches and Retail Protection
Maximiliano Stochyk Duarte, Head of Sales at Dubai-based CoinTerminal, emphasizes the rising bar for successful token launches as the crypto market approaches 2026. In a recent SlateCast discussion, Duarte noted that retail attention has become scarcer, and projects lacking substantive business models face rapid failure.
CoinTerminal positions itself as a Web3 fundraising platform focused on transparent capital formation and equitable retail access to early-stage token deals. Duarte's Core responsibility involves advising launch teams on token structuring—highlighting that even strong products require separate token strategies to thrive. The platform leverages its 650,000-user community to drive pre-exchange participation and buying pressure.
The current cycle demands selectivity, Duarte argues. Founders must now demonstrate more than HYPE to survive a market increasingly intolerant of hollow ventures.
