BlastUP recently concluded its presale, raising more than $8 million.
BlastUP’s impressive raise marks the first milestone for the community-backed launchpad project on the Blast blockchain.
Upcoming launches of Blastboxes V2, airdrops and other exclusive offers has the BlastUP community abuzz as the crypto industry braces for a fresh bull run.
BlastUP, a new launchpad platform on the Blast blockchain, raised over $8 million in its recently concluded BLP token presale.
According to details shared with CoinJournal, the BlastUP presale launched in February and ended on May 31. The presale offered 20% of the total supply of 1 billion BLP to early buyers.
BlastUP managed to secure a total of $8,095,148 from nearly 20,000 participants, the team added in a post shared on X.
“It has been an incredible journey for us! The amount we raised is extraordinary for the Blast L2 Ecosystem. Thank you for your unwavering dedication, encouragement, and belief in our vision. We couldn’t have done it without you,” the BlastUP team said, acknowledging the community’s support.
BlastUP token launch soon
BlastUP has gained a lot of attention within the Blast ecosystem, because it offers a novel mechanism for startups to secure early-stage investments, while enabling BLP holders to invest in these startups.
BLP is BlastUP’s native utility token, which holders can use to invest in new startups via tiered IDO launches. BlastUP token holders can also earn up to 12% APR in staking rewards, and tap into other incentive programs and loyalty rewards.
Proving the success of this model, BlastUP has also seen three successful IDOs launch on the platform:
CYBRO, an AI-powered yield aggregator on Blast, managed an impressive $150,000 in less than a week
GameFi platform Petobots raced to a $75,000 raise in four days
JuicyBet, a Web3 multi-chain platform for GambleFi, netted $50,000 in just two days.
As the Blast ecosystem looks forward to the Token Generation Event (TGE), there’s growing excitement around what’s next for BLP.
Some users see BlastUP’s recent announcement for initiatives such as the launch of Blastboxes V2 and airdrop campaigns as fresh opportunities to acquire $BLP at an advantageous rate.
An upbeat Blast ecosystem community may also view this as a golden opportunity for those likely to have missed the BLP presale.
Growth across crypto
BlastUP’s impressive presale raise comes amid a fresh buzz around crypto as Bitcoin jumped to above $71k again. Memecoins have also been on a tear, while the biggest gainer among the top altcoins today was BNB.
Elsewhere, the AI space continues to attract attention amid major developments from tech giants Google, Microsoft and chipmaker Nvidia.
