CoinList 2024: Year in Review
Crypto hit new heights in 2024—record-breaking prices, pro-crypto political wins, a surge in Bitcoin ETF inflows, the revival of ICOs, and a global memecoin frenzy.
It was also a landmark year for CoinList. Here's a look at what we achieved.
1. We ran 14 token sales, selling over $105M worth of tokens
CoinList ran token sales for 14 projects in 2024: Subsquid, zkLink, Nibiru, Meson Network, Masa, Bondex, Mystiko, TeleportDAO, Moca, Peaq, NATIX, Tap Protocol, Nillion, and Play Network.
A total of $105M in tokens were purchased by investors from 170 countries. The average raise on CoinList this year was $7,513,810 per deal, with 10,538 investors participating per deal on average.
We are proud to say that 13 of 14 sales were oversubscribed, including the $20m PEAQ sale that created over $150M worth of value (8.5x) for users that participated.
2. 147,535 long term investors participated in CoinList token sales
Builders want a community of high quality investors, not a ghost community of sybils that dump at the first opportunity. 70% of CoinList sale participants still hold their tokens 30 days after a token distribution, a retention rate unheard of among airdrops this year, which saw 60-90% of recipients selling their full allocation immediately after receiving tokens.
We increased our community of crypto investors by 300,000 globally, with strong growth in Europe. Our users range from CEOs and Founders to degens and sophisticated retail investors — all crypto native and experienced. In fact, the average participant in a 2024 sale previously participated in 19 CoinList deals.
3. We partnered with Animoca Brands to launch MocaList
Our mission has always been to enable crypto founders and ecosystems to succeed. Rather than limiting token sales to just CoinList, we’re excited to share our tools and capabilities with other leading crypto ecosystems to launch exceptional builders.
Our first such partnership was with Animoca Brands to create MocaList, a token sale platform dedicated to high-quality culture and entertainment projects, exclusively for the Mocaverse community. The MocaList platform supported two successful sales this year — MOCA and 0G.
Look out for more ecosystem partnerships in 2025.
4. We listed 31 new assets on our exchange and introduced perpetual futures
We listed 31 new assets this year, including 12 tokens for which we supported trading on Day 1 of launch: BCUT, ONDO, SQD, ZKL, MSN, MASA, XZK, TST, MOCA, PEAQ, NATIX, PLAY. At ATH prices, sale participants saw an average return of 5.6x on these assets.
In addition, we launched perpetual futures on CoinList, targeting Day 1 assets you can’t get anywhere else. Miss out on a token sale? Get exposure to the price action with less capital.
With futures, you can trade with leverage, hedge positions, and gain more exposure. Available markets today include: BTC, ETH, FIL, SOL, DOGE, MOODENG, PEAQ, PLAY, TAP, MOCA
5. We drove 200,000 developers, validators, and early adopters to incentivized testnets
User acquisition in crypto is extremely difficult, especially when you're trying to attract passionate and knowledgeable crypto enthusiasts to stress-test your network or product pre-launch.
On CoinList, builders can find, vet, and reward testnet participants all in one place. We ran 30 user acquisition campaigns for incentivized testnets this year, driving over 200,000 developers, validators, and other participants to builders across multiple categories.
6. We added new sale types and introduced on-chain attributes
ICOs are at the heart of CoinList, and with our latest product updates, it’s never been easier for builders to get started.
With multiple sale types available — auctions, node sales, fixed price sales — builders can choose a launch mechanism that best suits their unique priorities instead of just running the meta. In addition, builders can collect wallets from sale participants filtered for specific on-chain attributes to curate purchase tiers and allocations. Build the community YOU want.
Finally, we said goodbye to pre-funding and queues. Investors can now lock up the amount they wish to purchase at any time during the purchase period, and receive notifications when successful purchase requests are randomly selected. No more waking up in the dead of night to jump into a queue!
Looking ahead to 2025, we have several major announcements and new products in the pipeline, including many incredible ICOs and new ways to earn on-chain. More on that soon.
We wish everyone a fantastic holiday season and a happy new year.
