Coinbase, under the direction of CEO Brian Armstrong, announced on X the return of its token sale platform, set to relaunch with Monad between November 17 and 22, 2025. The move follows years of market concerns about unequal access and the dominance of large investors in early-stage crypto offerings.
The initiative seeks to restore fairness in token sales by curbing practices that favor rapid reselling and speculative accumulation. The company plans to introduce anti-flipping measures designed to discourage quick resale and strengthen long-term commitment among participants. The updated system will prioritize smaller purchases, opening the door for retail investors traditionally left behind in token distribution events.

Aiming for Equity in Token Distribution
Coinbase’s leadership argues that prior structures encouraged excessive extraction, where institutional traders captured most of the early rewards. With the revised model, the firm intends to distribute access more evenly and reduce the influence of high-volume participants. In doing so, it addresses long-standing criticism about the lack of transparency and inclusivity in token sales.
Brian Armstrong stated, “We want to set a new standard for token launches,” reinforcing Coinbase’s position as both a market operator and a policy advocate for broader participation. His remarks highlight an effort to rebuild investor trust after a period marked by intense capital concentration and speculative trading behaviors.
The announcement has generated a positive response across the industry
Many analysts view it as a constructive adjustment that could stabilize early trading environments and bring renewed credibility to token distribution models. Coinbase’s management team, including the CEO and CFO, is hosting a series of X-Spaces sessions to clarify investor expectations and discuss operational details of the new framework.
