Crypto launchpad funding: 25 sales, $273.5M, CoinList took 82%

NAUT tracks 25 crypto launchpad funding rounds that closed between 7 January and 15 May 2026, spread across 9 platforms and 23 projects, and the 19 of them that disclosed an amount raised $273.5M. CoinList carries $225.4M of that figure, 82% of the disclosed total, on the back of Flying Tulip's $200M ICO that closed on 6 February 2026.

Data as of 10 November 2026, read from NAUT's own funding records: every investment row with a launchpad linked to it and a close date from 1 January 2026 onward. The platform in each row below is the launchpad linked on that funding record, which is a separate field from the text of the round label. 10 of the 25 sales were put to outside pages on 10 November 2026; 3 came back confirmed, 4 came back with a page that gave a different amount or date than NAUT stores, on 2 no page carried the stored figure, and on 1 the page gave an amount where NAUT's row carries none. The other 15 rows were not put through an outside check, so read every row as NAUT's record rather than as a settled public number. NAUT holds InfinEx's 15 January 2026 sale as 2 rows, Option 1 and Option 2, each $7.5M, which looks like 2 pricing options logged for 1 sale: this report counts the rows as NAUT stores them, so a reader who treats that pair as 1 sale gets 24 sales and $266.0M. Several of these projects also hold a second row for the same sale from a second feed, which this report does not count, explained below the table. NAUT Research wrote this report, and no one paid for it.

Which crypto launchpad funding rounds closed in 2026, and who hosted each?

All 25 crypto token sales on NAUT's record, ordered by close date. Round is the sale type in the label NAUT stores for that row, and "Not given" means the row counted here carries no amount, even where a second row on the project page does.

23 projects hold these 25 rows: InfinEx has the Option 1 and Option 2 pair, and Zama is the only project with sales on 2 different platforms, a $4.4M ICO filed under CoinList on 24 January and an IDO filed under PancakeSwap 5 days later that carries no amount on the row counted here. Zama's own NAUT page shows a second row for that 29 January sale with $11.0M on it, which is covered below.

Why a NAUT project page can show a second row for the same sale

NAUT builds these funding records from more than 1 feed, and the feeds do not always agree, so a project page can carry a second row for the same sale with its own amount, its own sale-type label and its own date. Read on 10 November 2026, Ranger's MetaDAO sale also sits on NAUT as an $8M IDO announced 6 January 2026, against the $6M on the row counted here, and Fogo Chain's 13 January sale also sits there as a $7M IEO on the same amount. Atlas Ora's $5M agrees across both rows while the second row carries 18 March 2026 rather than the 25 March close date used above, and Flying Tulip holds a separate $129M ICO row announced 16 February 2026 alongside its $200M CoinList sale. Zama's 29 January sale is the sharpest case: the row counted above carries no amount and the label "IDO via Binance Wallet", while the row Zama's project page shows for 29 January 2026 reads "IEO · $11.0M", and icodrops.com/zama puts the Binance Wallet sale of 29 January 2026 at $11M.

Those second rows are missing the launchpad link or the close date this report filters on, so its scope leaves them out, which is why a project page can list more sales than the 25 counted here. The working rule for a BD team or an investor sourcing from this list: open the project page and read every row before you quote a raise back to the team.

Which platforms carried the most crypto launchpad funding?

9 platforms, ranked by the disclosed capital on NAUT's record. The sales column gives every sale filed under the platform and, in brackets, how many of them carry an amount, which is what the disclosed column totals.

Platform	Sales	Disclosed	Largest sale
CoinList	3 (3 with an amount)	$225.4M	Flying Tulip, $200M
Echo	7 (6 with an amount)	$24.0M	InfinEx, $7.5M
Binance	7 (4 with an amount)	$7.95M	Sentient, $7.6M
PancakeSwap	3 (1 with an amount)	$7.0M	Fogo Chain, $7M
MetaDAO	1 (1 with an amount)	$6.0M	Ranger, $6M
Kaito Launchpad	1 (1 with an amount)	$2.0M	OpenMind, $2M
TrustSwap	1 (1 with an amount)	$0.85M	WandrLust, $850K
eesee	1 (1 with an amount)	$0.25M	Realbet, $250K
Bio Protocol	1 (1 with an amount)	$0.05M	Pept AI, $50K

CoinList and Echo hold $249.4M of the $273.5M disclosed, 91%, from 10 of the 25 sales. Binance is the other end of the range: 7 sales, level with Echo for the most of any platform, and 4 of them disclose an amount, together worth $7.95M.

IDO funding carries 13 of the 25 round labels, ICO 11 and IEO 1. 9 of the 25 labels name Binance Wallet, and NAUT files 6 of those 9 under Binance and 3 under PancakeSwap, so a search on the platform field alone misses part of that channel. 4 of the 7 rows filed under Echo name Sonar in their label.

How much did each token sale raise?

The token sale amounts NAUT holds have a median of $2M, and 8 of the 19 came in under $2M. 2 cleared $20M: Flying Tulip at $200M and USD.AI (by Permian Labs) at $21M. The 6 sales with no amount on the rows counted here are Zama's 29 January IDO, which its project page carries a second row for at $11.0M, blackhaven, opinionlabsxyz, Unitas, Katana Network and Perle Labs.

Which of these sales were checked against an outside page?

10 of the 25, checked on 10 November 2026. Amount is the figure NAUT stores, and the outside check column is what the pages NAUT read said about that row, not a verdict on the sale itself.

Project	Platform	Amount	Outside check
Flying Tulip	CoinList	$200M	Confirmed, 2 pages
Fogo Chain	PancakeSwap	$7M	Confirmed, 2 pages
Atlas Ora	Echo	$5M	Confirmed, 2 pages
Ranger	MetaDAO	$6M	Page gave a different amount
USD.AI	CoinList	$21M	Page gave a different amount
Zama	CoinList	$4.4M	Page gave a different amount
Zama	PancakeSwap	Not given	Page gave $11M where NAUT's row is blank
Sentient	Binance	$7.6M	Amount matched, date differed
InfinEx	Echo	$7.5M (Option 1)	No page carried the figure
InfinEx	Echo	$7.5M (Option 2)	No page carried the figure

The 3 confirmed rows are the ones to quote without a second read. CoinList's own sale announcement says "Flying Tulip is raising $200M, representing 20% of the FT token supply, with 100% unlock at TGE". Ranger sits in the different-amount group for a reason worth knowing: the pages NAUT read agree that the sale was a $6M offering on MetaDAO, and the read put $6M as the minimum target with $8M as the final raise, which is also the figure on Ranger's second NAUT row. Zama's 29 January row is the one case where the outside page carried an amount and NAUT's counted row carried none. The 15 rows outside this table were not read against any page for this report, so they carry NAUT's stored figure only.

What this tells a BD team

• The money sits in 2 venues. CoinList and Echo hold $249.4M of the $273.5M disclosed across 10 sales, so a partnerships pitch aimed at token-sale issuers starts with those 9 projects.
• The long tail is where the volume of names is. Binance with 7 sales and PancakeSwap with 3 cover 10 of the 25, at $7.95M and $7.0M disclosed, which is the profile of a team that just closed a small raise and still needs tooling, market making and listings.
• The whole record is 2026 H1. All 25 sales closed between 7 January and 15 May 2026, so treat these January to May names as the warm list and expect a project's own page to carry its newer rounds.

What this tells a founder planning a crypto launchpad funding round

• Platform choice tracks size on this record. CoinList's 3 sales run $4.4M to $200M, while Binance's 4 disclosed sales run $50K to $7.6M, and Echo's 6 run $1M to $7.5M.
• Disclosure is not automatic. 6 of the 25 sales carry no amount on NAUT's record, and 3 of those 6 are filed under Binance, so a founder who wants the raise on the public record has to publish the number.
• 1 sale can appear as 2 rows. InfinEx's pair shows how pricing options get logged separately, which matters when a data room, an aggregator or an answer engine adds your rounds up.
