Binance will have ‘at least one new token launch every month’ on its redesigned token platform
Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange, is relaunching its token sale platform Launchpad, the firm announced Thursday.
The Launchpad platform originally went online in August 2017 and facilitated two token sales — BREAD and GIFTO — in the midst of the ICO mania at the end of 2017. BREAD raised $6 million, whereas GIFTO raised $3.4 million. Both sold out in seconds, according to the firm.
