CoinList Re-enters the U.S. Market
After more than 5 years of absence, CoinList officially returns to the U.S. market, a move that may stem from a more crypto-friendly policy under the Donald Trump administration."1/ CoinList is back in the U.S. 🇺🇸

Unlike the tightening policies of the Joe Biden administration, the SEC under Trump withdrew numerous lawsuits against major exchanges such as Coinbase, Kraken, and Ripple. Earlier, in December 2023, CoinList was fined $1.2 million by the U.S. Department of the Treasury for violating sanctions related to Russia and Ukraine.
According to CoinList President Scott Keto, during the 2020-2024 period, many projects like Solana, Near, and Ondo excluded U.S. investors from token sales due to legal risks. This caused them to miss out on the 18-fold growth of the altcoin market, which grew from $60 billion to $1.15 trillion.
Now, with the political landscape changing, CoinList is set to return to the token sale scene. DoubleZero is the first project to be listed, marking the return since the Kadena token sale in 2019.
CoinList is a platform often used by crypto projects to raise funds. It previously raised $100 million and was valued at $1.5 billion in 2021.

So we're building one that is—and inviting validators from various ecosystems to join in that effort.
Today we're announcing the @DoubleZero Token Sale for Validators on @CoinList - a global, multi-ecosystem initiative exclusively… pic.twitter.com/XmdDjhzDrK
This event is exclusively for validators operating on the Solana, Celestia, Sui, Aptos, and Avalanche networks.
Investors can place bids with their desired token price and maximum budget, and CoinList will aggregate the bids to determine the final price.
According to a representative from DoubleZero, while the crypto industry has seen many innovations at the application layer, the physical infrastructure remains under-optimized. This project aims to revolutionize blockchain speed and connectivity through a dedicated fiber-optic network, similar to the leap from 56K modems to broadband in the early 2000s.
After raising $28 million last month, DoubleZero aims to launch its mainnet in the second half of 2025. This fundraising round was led by two major funds, Multicoin Capital and Dragonfly Capital.
The token sale event takes place amidst a growing influx of capital into the crypto market from venture capital (VC) funds, thanks to the U.S. government’s more open stance. Several important bills, such as the stablecoin bill and the crypto market infrastructure bill, are set to be implemented. These changes promise to usher in a new era for blockchain projects and investors in the U.S.
