Evolution of Token Offering Models: 2025 ROI Benchmarks and Launchpad Performance Metrics

MEXC Research Report Reveals 2025 ROI Benchmarks and Launchpad Performance Metrics

In a groundbreaking study, the industry research arm of global cryptocurrency exchange MEXC has released an exhaustive report titled “From ICO to Launchpad”, which examines the evolution of token offering models and their profound impact on the crypto ecosystem. As launchpads experience a resurgence in activity, the report delves into centralized exchange (CEX) and decentralized exchange (DEX) platforms through performance metrics, user access design, and long-term sustainability.

The report emphasizes that numerous users face obscure allocation models, inconsistent valuation standards, and limited early-stage project exposure on launchpads. It highlights both opportunities and critical flaws in the current model.

Key Findings:

* MEXC Launchpad successfully launched five projects in H1 2025 with an average peak ROI of 10.83x using a dual-pool, no-VIP approach.
* Bybit delivered the highest individual project return in 2025, Xterio reaching a 14.71x peak ROI; however, this achievement is contingent upon staking tiers and VIP requirements for access.
* Gate.io offered the lowest financial barrier to participate with a minimum requirement of just $1, but allocated most funding to investors who locked substantial assets before the snapshot period.

The report highlights several significant differences in return on investment (ROI) performance, accessibility mechanisms, and allocation fairness across various platforms.
