Are you positioned for the next crypto upswing? In the high-stakes world of blockchain, getting in early—during the ICO or presale phase—is key to maximizing potential returns. October 2025 proved to be a pivotal month for early-stage funding, shifting capital toward projects that combine utility, speed, and real-world bridging.
This month's presale activity was a clear reflection of the market's hunger for Bitcoin Layer-2 solutions and high-utility decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms that genuinely connect traditional finance (TradFi) with crypto assets.
As a funding expert who has helped projects raise over $20 million, I've observed that investors are becoming highly sophisticated. They’re demanding auditable tech and clear roadmaps—not just whitepaper dreams. The numbers from October's top presales confirm this flight to quality.
