Participation required KYC verification. According to the project, the token launch is tied to Pump.fun\u2019s strategy to expand into on-chain social and live-streaming use cases.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining supply is distributed across team allocations, ecosystem and community incentives, liquidity, investor allocations, and foundation and streaming-related funds.<\/p>\n<p>According to CryptoRank\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoRank_VCs\/status\/2003865638624997486\" target=\"_blank\">compiled<\/a> data, the second-largest raise came from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi project backed by US President Donald Trump, which has <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wlfi-hype-suspicious-moves-and-suns-public-appeals-the-gift-that-keeps-on-giving\/\">raised<\/a> around $550 million since launching its public token sale. The most recent round concluded in March and covered 25% of WLFI\u2019s 100 billion token supply.<\/p>\n<p>WLFI co-founder Zak Folkman has said that approximately 63% of the total supply is intended to be sold to the public over time, which means that further sales may follow as the project continues its roll-out.<\/p>\n<p>Outside the top two, capital inflows were more fragmented but still significant across projects. For instance, Layer 1 blockchain Monad ranked third with $217 million raised. The network went live on November 24 and was accompanied by an airdrop of its MON token. While MON has a total supply of 100 billion tokens, only about 10.8% is currently unlocked and circulating.<\/p>\n<h3>You may also like:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wlfi-freeze-haunts-justin-sun-three-months-after-troubled-token-launch\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tWLFI Freeze Haunts Justin Sun Three Months After Troubled Token Launch\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/world-liberty-financial-proposes-5-treasury-allocation-to-support-usd1-growth\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tWorld Liberty Financial Proposes 5% Treasury Allocation to Support USD1 Growth\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pump-fun-co-founder-denies-cashing-out-ico-funds-calls-allegations-misinformation\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tPump.fun Co-Founder Denies Cashing Out ICO Funds, Calls Allegations \u2018Misinformation\u2019\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Other Blockchain Token Sales<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cHigh-performance\u201d Ethereum scaling solution, MegaETH, followed with $78 million.
