TechFlow, May 15 — Cryptocurrency data platform CoinMarketCap (CMC) today announced the launch of CMC Launch, a dedicated launchpad platform for high-quality pre-TGE projects aiming to connect promising crypto ventures with over 50 million monthly active users globally. The first project selected for CMC Launch is Aster ($AST), a decentralized perpetual trading platform.
Compared to traditional launch platforms, CMC Launch implements a stricter vetting mechanism, opening access only to truly high-potential projects and helping early-stage ventures reach a global audience. Selected projects will receive dedicated launch pages, interactive tasks designed to drive user engagement, and support for airdrop-eligible wallet selection.
The inaugural project, Aster—backed by YZI Labs—aims to deliver innovative perpetual contract services for traders ranging from beginners to experts. Key features include: dual-mode trading interfaces (simple and professional) catering to diverse user needs; various airdrop incentives; non-custodial trading without KYC, ensuring full asset control; deep liquidity pools, low fees, and multi-chain support for a seamless trading experience. Aster is currently live on BNB Chain and Arbitrum.
Rush, CEO of CMC, stated:
"Competition for user attention in the crypto space is intense. CMC Launch is designed to help new projects precisely reach and connect with users actively exploring high-potential sectors. As a 'crypto hub,' we welcome Aster as the first CMC Launch project to showcase its innovative value to the global community."
