Coinbase has launched a public token sale platform, allowing US users to access it. Monad is the first issuer on the platform.

Coinbase is shattering a six-year barrier, granting U.S. retail traders mainstream access to public token sales. The move, starting with Monad, reshapes American participation in the nascent crypto economy.

In a prepared statement on Nov. 10, crypto exchange Coinbase said it is launching a dedicated token sales platform, with the first sale for the layer-1 blockchain Monad scheduled from Nov. 17-22. The initiative is designed as an end-to-end launchpad, handling distribution from the initial sale directly to secondary market listing on its exchange.

A key feature of the platform is an allocation algorithm that prioritizes smaller orders to promote broader distribution and deter whale dominance. “Our algorithm is designed to promote broader distribution and limit asset concentration among large purchasers. This will typically result in more complete allocation for participants requesting the lowest amounts while progressively filling larger requests until the supply is exhausted,” the Coinbase team said in the statement.

Coinbase’s reopening of U.S. token sales comes with a carefully designed framework the exchange describes as a “new standard” for how projects go to market. The initiative includes a “request window” where users have a finite period, in this case one week, to submit their purchase orders. The crucial differentiator is that timing within this window is irrelevant; a request submitted on the first day holds no priority over one submitted on the last. Once the window closes, the proprietary “fill from the bottom” algorithm takes over, systematically fulfilling smaller requests in full before moving progressively to larger ones. According to Coinbase, this approach is meant to limit asset concentration and promote a wider, more decentralized holder base from day one.

Further reinforcing this community-centric approach is a mechanism that directly rewards long-term holding. The token sale platform is designed to identify and prioritize “true supporters.” Users who sell their token allocations shortly after they begin trading on secondary markets, particularly within the first 30 days, may see their allocations reduced in subsequent sales on the platform.

On the transparency front, Coinbase is imposing rigorous new requirements on token issuers themselves. These include a mandatory six-month lock-up period for issuers and their affiliates, preventing them from selling tokens over-the-counter or on secondary markets immediately after the sale. Any exceptions would require public disclosure and Coinbase’s approval, according to the announcement.

The efficacy of Coinbase’s news system will face its first major test with the Monad sale. The layer-1 blockchain project has committed 7.5% of its total MON token supply to the public sale, priced at $0.025 per token. This structure sets a potential fully diluted valuation of approximately $2.5 billion for Monad, with the sale poised to raise up to $187.5 million.

The Monad team has welcomed the initiative, with co-founder Keone Hon stating that the public sale could “extend the reach of Monad by extending the distribution of MON into the hands of millions of regular people,” aligning with growing crypto beyond its primary audience.

Coinbase reopens US token sales after six-year hiatus

Coinbase's token sale platform will allow a select group of investors early access to new cryptocurrencies before they open for trading on its main exchange, but the platform is designed to limit asset concentration in the hands of large buyers, and token issuers and their affiliates will be prohibited from selling their holdings for a period of six months.

A Coinbase spokesperson said that Monad, a crypto project running its own blockchain network, will be the first company to issue tokens through the platform, with the issuance scheduled for later in November. The exchange plans to subsequently list all tokens launched on the new platform for trading on its main exchange, with issuances planned approximately once a month.

A Coinbase spokesperson said that Monad, a crypto project running its own blockchain network, will be the first company to issue tokens through the platform, with the issuance scheduled for later in November. The exchange plans to list all tokens launched on the new platform on its main exchange for trading thereafter, with approximately one issuance planned per month.

Coinbase: Token issuers and their affiliates will be prohibited from selling their holdings of the token for 6 months.

Coinbase officially announced that its first token sale (Monad) will be held from November 17th to 22nd.

Differing from the typical "first come, first served" model that fails to reach the genuine community, the platform's sale design adheres to the "fair to the majority" principle, featuring a "bottom-up" distribution mechanism: the algorithm prioritizes ensuring that small buyers receive a full allocation, then allocates in increasing order based on the purchase amount until the quota is sold out, effectively preventing whales from monopolizing.

The sale also includes a flexible purchase window: each sale sets a fixed period (e.g., one week), and users can submit purchases at any time. After the window closes, the algorithm uniformly calculates the final allocation.

A user-first principle is applied: genuine supporters will receive a higher allocation priority. Users who sell tokens within 30 days after listing may have their allocation weight reduced in subsequent sales.

In addition, Coinbase will require the issuer to provide project background, tokenomics, and core team information, ensuring transparency in investment decisions. The issuer and affiliates are prohibited from selling outside the public sale or secondary market within 6 months after the sale. Any special sales must be approved and disclosed by Coinbase, and a lock-up agreement ensures a gradual release of tokens after 6 months.

The primary distribution platform will maintain a pace of approximately one sale per month to ensure full support from the platform and community for each event. In the coming months, upgraded features such as limit orders and priority allocation for the project's target user group will be introduced.

Coinbase New Public Sale Platform Rule: Prioritize Small Buyers' Allocation, Users Selling Within 30 Days Will Receive Reduced Allocation Weight in Future

On November 10th, Coinbase officially announced that its first token sale (Monad) will be held from November 17th to 22nd. Different from the "first come, first served" model that failed to reach the real community, the platform's sales design adheres to the principle of "inclusive to the majority", with the following characteristics:

*   "Bottom-up" allocation mechanism: The algorithm prioritizes ensuring that small subscribers receive full allocation, and then allocates in increasing order of subscription amount until the quota is sold out, effectively preventing large accounts from monopolizing.

*   Flexible subscription window: Each sale sets a fixed period (for example, one week), and users can submit subscriptions at any time. After the window is closed, the algorithm will uniformly calculate the final allocation.

*   User-first principle: Real supporters will receive higher allocation priority. Users who sell tokens within 30 days after listing may have their allocation weight reduced in subsequent sales.

In addition, Coinbase will require issuers to provide project background, token economic model, and core team information to ensure transparent investment decisions. Issuers and related parties are prohibited from selling off-exchange or in the secondary market within 6 months after the public sale. Any special sale needs to be approved and publicized by Coinbase, and the lock-up agreement ensures that the tokens are gradually released after 6 months.

The new issuance platform will maintain a rhythm of approximately 1 sale per month to ensure that each event receives full support from the platform and the community. In the coming months, upgraded features such as limit order functions and priority allocation for project target user groups will be launched successively.

Coinbase's new public sale platform rules: Priority is given to allocating to small subscription users, and users who sell within 30 days will have their allocation weight reduced in the future.

Coinbase announced the launch of its end-to-end token sale platform and will hold its first public sale (of Monad tokens) from November 17th to 22nd.

The platform employs a bottom-up allocation algorithm, prioritizing smaller requests and limiting large-scale concentration; a one-week request window is set, after which allocations are determined uniformly; users who sell quickly within 30 days will have their allocations reduced in subsequent sales.

The issuer and its affiliates are prohibited from OTC and secondary market sales for six months, with any exception requiring Coinbase approval and a lock-up period extending to six months. User participation is free, and the issuer raises funds in USDC and pays proportional fees.

This marks the first widespread participation from US retail users since 2018.
