Launchpad

Launchpads are decentralized platforms that facilitate early-stage fundraising for new Web3 projects through Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs). They provide investors with curated access to token sales while offering startups a community-driven capital injection. In 2026, launchpads have evolved into full-stack incubators, focusing on project quality and long-term sustainability. Follow this tag for the latest in token distribution models, tier-based participation, and the emergence of the next generation of "unicorn" protocols across various blockchain ecosystems.

July Altcoin Outlook: Hyperliquid Eyes $100, Solana Rides ETF Wave, and Stablecoins Heat Up

July Altcoin Outlook: Hyperliquid Eyes $100, Solana Rides ETF Wave, and Stablecoins Heat Up

Key Takeaways : Hyperliquid surged 250% in three months and could hit $80 by Q3, analysts say. Solana’s staked ETF has been approved in the U.S., boosting ecosystem optimism. Raydium and Orca remain strong short-term plays as spot ETF approval odds reach 95% in 2025. Raydium ranked fifth among Solana DeFi projects in June with $6.17M revenue, while Pump.Fun stays the top earner despite falling numbers. Ethena flagged as a short-term watch due to regulatory shifts and its growing USDe stablecoin. The first month of summer has passed, with Bitcoin (BTC) holding firm at the top while the rest of the market stays quiet, waiting for a real altseason to arrive. In this monthly report, we look at the altcoins that analysts say could show the most potential in July. Table of Contents In This Article Hyperliquid Eyes $100 – Too Ambitious or Within Reach? Solana’s ETF Wave – Which Projects Could Surf It? Stablecoin Summer – Set to Sizzle or Stay Cool? Conclusion In This Article Hyperliquid Eyes $100 – Too Ambitious or Within Reach? Solana’s ETF Wave – Which Projects Could Surf It? Stablecoin Summer – Set to Sizzle or Stay Cool? Show Full Guide Conclusion Hyperliquid Eyes $100 – Too Ambitious or Within Reach? Hyperliquid (HYPE) has become one of the most talked-about new crypto projects. Its price has jumped nearly 250% over the past three months, while Bitcoin and many altcoins remain in a holding pattern. On June 16, HYPE hit its all-time high of $45.57. Eneko Knörr , CEO and co-founder of Stabolut , told Cryptonews that the altcoin may keep climbing: Hyperliquid leads with gasless perpetual trading and HyperBFT consensus. Price could reach $80 by Q3 2025. In 2025, crypto projects with real value and utility often struggle to grow, while meme coins continue to lead the market. Hyperliquid hasn’t broken this pattern entirely, but shows that non-meme projects can also rally. Its gasless perpetual trading platform has secured a strong niche . Daniil Kozin , Head of Business Development at EASY MM and CBDO , shared his view with Cryptonews : It’s predominantly organic growth, and the numbers support this. They’ve become the undisputed leader in decentralized perpetuals in record time. Solana’s ETF Wave – Which Projects Could Surf It? Eneko Knörr also noted that Solana’s (SOL) ecosystem could become more attractive soon, thanks to the first Solana staked exchange-traded fund (ETF) registered in the U.S.: Riding the ETF wave and scalability gains, key Solana tokens like RAY and ORCA remain strong short-term plays. Raydium (RAY) and Orca (ORCA) are decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on Solana with their own tokens listed across platforms. Raydium remains one of the most popular projects, especially after launching its meme coin launchpad, LaunchLab. In June, Raydium ranked fifth among Solana’s top 15 DeFi projects by revenue, earning $6.17 million. Pump.Fun continues to lead in revenue, although a recent Cryptonews study showed its numbers have dropped significantly from peak levels. Meme coins and their “infrastructure” remain some of the most profitable segments on Solana. For example, Axiom ranked second by revenue in June. It’s a wallet and platform mainly used for meme coin trading. However, with the Solana staked ETF, this picture could change. Moreover, a spot Solana ETF approval is expected this year, potentially bringing even more liquidity and institutional interest. This could help shift Solana’s reputation away from being just a meme coin blockchain and attract a new class of investors. Knörr added: Ecosystem projects drive adoption, while ETF approval odds for SOL sit at 95% in 2025. Potentially unlocking $1B+ inflows. Stablecoin Summer – Set to Sizzle or Stay Cool? Stablecoins remain one of crypto’s most promising markets . They serve as a bridge between traditional finance and crypto while also adding liquidity to DeFi. In 2024, they even surpassed Visa in transaction count. Knörr highlighted Ethena (ENA) as a short-term project to watch amid regulatory shifts. Ethena issues its own stablecoin, USDe (USDE), along with its ENA token. USDE launched in April 2024 and is already among the top five stablecoins by market cap. While it’s still far behind giants like Tether (USDT) and USDC, no project can compete with their scale for now. Ethena, however, is part of Ethereum’s (ETH) ecosystem and offers its own protocol and yield programs. Frank Combay , COO of Next Generation , told Cryptonews : More and more companies are integrating digital payment solutions into their systems, drawn by the key advantages of digital asset transactions: lowest transaction costs, near-instant processing speeds, and transparency. As a result, a growing number of market participants are engaging with blockchain projects to enhance their payment infrastructure and leverage these benefits. Conclusion July could bring strong momentum for Hyperliquid and select Solana projects, while stablecoins continue to cement their role as crypto’s backbone. But as always, liquidity flows and regulatory headlines will shape where altcoins go next.

Research: 97% of Pump.Fun Meme Coins Lost Half Their Value — 81% Are Dead

Research: 97% of Pump.Fun Meme Coins Lost Half Their Value — 81% Are Dead

Key Takeaways : Over 80% of Pump.Fun meme coins are “dead,” down 90% or more from their peak. Only a tiny 2.6% of tokens kept at least 40% of their ATH in the past month. Data shows Pump.Fun meme coins rarely generate the massive profits they were once known for. Revenue remains high, but Pump.Fun’s market dominance now faces threats from new rivals like LetsBonk.Fun. Pump.Fun is the biggest meme coin factory in crypto. For over a year and a half, it has promised traders the dream: put in $100 and watch it double in no time. But does it really work like that? Meme coins have always split the crypto community. Some chase them for quick gains, while others say they ruin the market’s reputation. Behind every wild pump, there are dozens of tokens that crash just as fast. Read our research to see what’s really happening with Pump.Fun meme coins. Table of Contents In This Article Most Pump.Fun Meme Coins Crash After Launch The Hype Is Gone — So Are the Big Profits Growth, Collapse, and Stabilization Conclusion How We Did the Research In This Article Most Pump.Fun Meme Coins Crash After Launch The Hype Is Gone — So Are the Big Profits Growth, Collapse, and Stabilization Show Full Guide Conclusion How We Did the Research Most Pump.Fun Meme Coins Crash After Launch As of June 19, 2025, 81% of all tokens launched through Pump.Fun have dropped by 90% or more from their all-time high (ATH). Only 19% of tokens can be considered “alive,” meaning they are still trading above that threshold. Only 2.6% of Pump.Fun meme coins traded on average at around 40% of their ATH or higher during the last month. This data shows that most tokens on Pump.Fun rise quickly and then lose their value just as fast. While maintaining 40% of ATH is often seen as a solid performance in the volatile crypto market, only a handful of Pump.Fun meme coins meet that standard. The Hype Is Gone — So Are the Big Profits When adjusted for market size, the token with the highest possible return from January to mid-June 2025 was Fartcoin (FARTCOIN), showing a market-weighted maximum ROI of 50.22%, based on data from CoinGecko . This metric estimates the maximum profit an investor could have achieved by buying at the lowest price and selling after it reached its highest point. It also takes into account the coin’s market cap at the beginning of the period. In the first half of 2025, market-weighted ROIs for Pump.Fun meme coins remained modest even under this ideal scenario. Even during the spring hype peak, potential returns were limited. Fartcoin appeared multiple times as the top performer, but its highest modeled ROI reached only 26.56% in April. Outside of a few standout tokens, most monthly leaders delivered only small theoretical profits. This pattern suggests that despite occasional spikes, strong returns remain rare on the platform. While some meme coins do surge by more than 1x within hours, they often crash just as quickly. These rapid moves are usually driven by insiders, making it difficult for average traders to predict which token will take off. While a few tokens still grab attention with sharp price spikes, most Pump.Fun meme coins no longer deliver the strong returns that drove earlier hype. For many traders, meme coins have become less about quick gains and more about short-lived bets with limited upside. Growth, Collapse, and Stabilization From January to June 2025, Pump.Fun’s revenue fell from 137 million dollars to 32 million, a drop of 76.5%. The steepest monthly declines came in February and March, with minus 39% and 54%. During the same period, the broader crypto market also declined, which suggests a high correlation. Meme coins on Pump.Fun tend to follow Bitcoin’s (BTC) price during major moves. In April, the platform partially recovered. May’s revenue stayed nearly flat, but in June it dropped by almost a third again. This could be linked to increased competition or a general drop in market hype. After stabilizing in spring, Pump.Fun slipped again at the start of summer. Pump.Fun’s revenue grew rapidly in 2024, with total earnings reaching around 290 million dollars for the year and peaking at 137 million in January 2025. Although monthly revenue has declined since then, the platform still earned 384 million dollars in just the first half of 2025, well above last year’s results. This suggests that while Pump.Fun remains a leading launchpad, maintaining its record highs may be challenging as market hype fades and competition increases. Despite the recent slowdown, Pump.Fun still shows much stronger numbers than a year ago and remains one of the most profitable launch platforms in the meme coin sector. Whether the decline continues remains an open question. Conclusion Pump.Fun remains one of the most profitable meme coin launchpads. Its revenue is still higher than at the start of 2024, even after a sharp decline in March and April that mirrored the broader crypto market. While most tokens collapse quickly, a few like Fartcoin show signs of a slower growth pattern, or “slow cook,” which is unusual for meme coins but may reflect changing user behavior. With new competitors such as LetsBonk.Fun gaining traction, Pump.Fun’s dominance could soon be challenged . How We Did the Research We analyzed price and market cap data for 1,954 Pump.Fun tokens listed on CoinGecko. To determine whether a coin was considered dead or alive , we checked if its price had dropped more than 90% from its ATH as of June 19, 2025. For coins that retained at least 40% of their value, we calculated their average price between May 18 and June 19, 2025. To estimate the maximum potential market-weighted ROI, we used a theoretical model where a trader buys a coin at its lowest price and sells at its highest point within the same month. While this reflects an ideal scenario, it helps illustrate the best possible return — adjusted for the coin’s market cap at the start of that month.
