Crypto giant exchange Coinbase has announced that it has officially entered the initial coin offering (ICO) landscape with the launch of its new token sale platform. The innovative step allows retail investors to acquire digital tokens before they are listed on the exchange, according to a news shared by Brian Armstrong, the exchange’s CEO, on X.  The new platform reintroduces ICO-style fundraising in a clear and organized manner. It focuses on meeting legal requirements and making fundraising easier for everyone as regulations change. Coinbase Explores ICO Market The new platform, which was kick-started with Monad Labs as the first project to utilize it, provides U.S. retail investors with access to early-stage token offerings that were previously unavailable due to the crackdown on ICOs. With Coinbase’s 150 million users and $500 billion in custodial assets, Monad can enhance liquidity and accelerate its market readiness. It allows for on-chain fundraising from the start of a project to tokenized IPOs. It also enables the project to send tokens directly to verified Coinbase users worldwide. The platform features a system that fairly distributes tokens during quick sales, addressing the oversubscription issues commonly observed in past ICO models.  Users make transactions using USD Coin (USDC). This demonstrates that Coinbase prioritizes stability even when market conditions change. The operational framework of Coinbase’s token sale platform promotes transparency and fairness, requiring all participants to complete full verification.  Regulatory Clarity Aids Innovation Coinbase’s recent milestone may likely be due to clearer rules for digital investments in the U.S. These new guidelines make it easier for people to invest. For example, in January 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled in the case of Coinbase v. SEC.  The ruling emphasized the need for clearer rules regarding digital assets and criticized the SEC’s previous approach of enforcing regulations through legal action. In response to the court ruling, the SEC established a Crypto Task Force in February and began drafting rules for classifying tokens using the Howey Test.  Then, in March, the GENIUS Act was introduced. The act proposed safe harbors for utility tokens and highlighted the importance of clear disclosures. In June, the Treasury and the CFTC issued joint guidance that clarified the rules for self-custody and real-time settlement. These updates made it easier for regulated platforms to hold public sales without needing to register their securities.
