“Coinbase Revives Token Launch Market With New Regulated Platform“ 🚨🚨🚨

CoinbaseCOIN $315.26 (1.98%) shares rose early Monday after The Wall Street Journal confirmed that the crypto exchange giant is preparing to launch a new site dedicated to “token offerings” — signaling a bold return to a concept reminiscent of the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) boom that defined crypto’s early growth years.

Between 2016 and 2018, the ICO frenzy fueled massive capital inflows into blockchain projects, before collapsing under the weight of plummeting crypto prices, widespread fraud, and aggressive regulatory crackdowns. That era left investors wary and prompted global regulators to demand stricter transparency and compliance standards.

Now, Coinbase aims to resurrect that model — but with guardrails. Company officials told the Journal that the upcoming platform will give retail investors a “professional, safer way” to participate in new token launches. It will reportedly include investor-protection features designed to discourage speculative flipping and block founders from immediately selling off their tokens after issuance.

The move marks Coinbase’s latest effort to expand beyond traditional crypto trading and staking services, positioning itself as a gateway for compliant tokenization and early-stage blockchain innovation. Analysts say if executed properly, the platform could bridge the gap between retail investors and Web3 startups — while restoring legitimacy to a sector long plagued by excess and scandal.
