Binance Launchpad: A Quick Sell-Out Phenomenon
In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency, Binance Launchpad has become the hottest ticket in town. Whether you like altcoins or ICOs or even if you think both are the financial equivalent of a rollercoaster ride, Binance continues to pull in enthusiastic investors. Just how fast can these tokens go? Imagine blinking and missing it—most offerings are sold out in minutes!
The New Lottery Format Explained
On March 24, Binance announced a significant shift in its Launchpad format, trading in the frantic scramble of first-come, first-served for a more structured lottery system. Instead of tearing your hair out chasing tokens, now, your chances will depend on holding BNB coins. How many tickets can you get? Up to five, but only if you have at least 500 BNB. Not for the faint of heart—or the light of wallet!
- 100 BNB holds: 1 ticket
- 5 tickets max

The Community’s Mixed Feedback
Naturally, change isn’t always met with applause; sometimes it’s a chorus of boos. Many crypto enthusiasts took to Twitter to voice their frustrations over the new rules, believing it might be pricing them out. One user humorously lamented, “With this minimum investment, I might as well get a small yacht!” Ouch! The number crunchers are worried how these changes could favor the so-called “whales” of the crypto ocean—those lucky folks with deep pockets.
Recent Launchpad Highlights
So, what has Binance Launchpad been selling lately? Quite a lot! In recent sales, tokens were grabbed up faster than the last piece of pizza at a party:
- Celer Network (CELR): Sold out in just 17 minutes, raising $4 million.
- Fetch.AI (FET): An astonishing sellout in mere 22 seconds—let that sink in for a moment.
- BitTorrent (BTT): A whopping $7.1 million raised, with all 50 billion tokens disappearing within a mere 15 minutes. Your grandma’s knitting club might take longer!
Competition on the Horizon
As if Binance didn’t have enough fun being the power player, Huobi decided to join the party with its platform called Huobi Prime. Encouragingly, they want to give the crypto community a chance to invest in exciting new tokens—hopefully without making anyone feel like they just lost a game of musical chairs. Huobi promises a couple of snazzy rounds of offerings, so we’ll see how that shakes out for them!
