CoinMarketCap Cuts Ribbon on CMC Launch—A New Pre-Token Launchpad for Crypto’s Next Big Bets
CoinMarketCap just rolled out the red carpet for pre-token projects with its new CMC Launch platform—because what crypto really needed was another way to hype vaporware before it hits exchanges.
The move positions CMC as a gatekeeper for early-stage projects, letting retail investors chase alpha while VCs quietly exit stage left. Will this democratize access or just add another layer of middlemen skimming fees? Only the blockchain knows.
One thing’s certain: in a market where ’building’ often means tweeting whitepapers, launchpads are the new ICOs—just with marginally better optics.
