Frequently Asked Questions
What is AscendEX Launchpad?
AscendEX Launchpad is the Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) program run by the AscendEX exchange — formerly BitMax, rebranded in 2021 — to host early-stage crypto token sales. Membership in the AscendEX Launchpad category is defined by one fact: a token sold through AscendEX, not by blockchain, TVL, or a shared mechanic. AscendEX Launchpad ran its final IEO in October 2021. Per DropsTab data, a handful of these tokens remain listed, spanning 2021 Solana-era projects like Serum (SRM) and Bonfida (FIDA).
Is AscendEX Launchpad still active in 2026?
AscendEX Launchpad is dormant and effectively closed in 2026. AscendEX Launchpad hosted its last IEO in October 2021 and never resumed, so no new token sales or listing pipeline exist to track. The parent AscendEX exchange ceased all operations effective July 1, 2026, removing any path to reviving the launchpad. The AscendEX Launchpad category now functions only as a historical Fundraising-venue grouping — useful for tracing token provenance, not for finding upcoming launches.
What happened to the AscendEX exchange?
AscendEX ceased all operations effective July 1, 2026. AscendEX cited the loss of its MiCA authorization, a failed strategic financing transaction, and broader financial and operational strain. Automated withdrawals halted on July 6, 2026, moving user funds to manual review with no guarantees on amounts or timing. The MiCA non-authorization reflects tightening EU regulatory pressure on smaller exchanges. For AscendEX Launchpad token holders, the shutdown means AscendEX can no longer provide liquidity, custody, or listing continuity.
Which projects launched tokens through AscendEX Launchpad?
AscendEX Launchpad hosted several 2021 Solana-era token sales, and DropsTab lists the durable members. Akash Network (AKT) is a Cosmos-based decentralized cloud-compute marketplace and the clearest survivor. Persistence (XPRT) is a Cosmos appchain that pivoted toward liquid staking. Stafi (FIS) runs a liquid-staking protocol issuing rTokens. Bonfida (FIDA) operates the Solana Name Service. Serum (SRM), once a flagship Solana orderbook decentralized exchange (DEX), sold through AscendEX before its 2022 collapse.
Are any AscendEX Launchpad projects still operational?
Per DropsTab data, several AscendEX Launchpad projects remain operational while others are defunct. Akash Network (AKT), Persistence (XPRT), Stafi (FIS), and Bonfida (FIDA) all outlived their launch venue and run active development. Serum (SRM) is effectively defunct after the November 2022 FTX and Alameda collapse — Serum fell roughly 97% and the community forked the code to OpenBook. Oxygen (OXY), Swingby (SWINGBY), and Faith Tribe (FTRB) are inactive or defunct. The AscendEX Launchpad roster is thin and legacy.
What risks do AscendEX Launchpad token holders face?
AscendEX Launchpad token holders face realized venue-dependency risk. The launch venue itself has collapsed, so AscendEX no longer provides liquidity, custody, or listing continuity for these tokens. Concentration and survivorship risk compound the problem: members like Serum (SRM) and Oxygen (OXY) are tied to the failed 2021 FTX and Solana orbit and are effectively defunct. The surviving value sits in projects with independent narratives — Akash Network (AKT) leads on an AI-compute thesis, separate from any launchpad origin.
How to track AscendEX Launchpad tokens on DropsTab?
DropsTab tracks AscendEX Launchpad tokens through its category scanner and cross-venue market data. Because AscendEX has shut down, holders can use the coin list to see where surviving tokens like Akash Network (AKT), Persistence (XPRT), and Stafi (FIS) still trade across other exchanges. DropsTab per-project pages carry present-tense context — supply, listings, and development status — which matters more than launchpad-ROI history for a defunct venue. Drops Bot alerts can flag new listings or market moves for individual tokens.
