In 2020, Binance Launchpool came to the market as a new way for users to earn new crypto tokens by staking BNB, BUSD, or other assets. It claimed passive income with minimal work involved and access to new projects at an earlier stage. Now it is 2025, and one has to ask the question — Does Launchpool still hold value?
Let’s recap how Launchpool has changed and if it is still a viable option for crypto farmers.
🔄 From Hype to Maturity: Launchpool’s Transition
When Launchpool was newly available, it was part of Binance’s larger DeFi initiative to make it more consumable by regular users. The early Launchpool stakers were so pleased, they could now place idle tokens into a stake and receive new project coins prior to the tokens being available through market purchases.
Pre-market pricing opportunities historically resulted in large gains for Launchpool token participants.
But as the DeFi industry matured and additional regulatory pressure derived from governments around the world, Launchpool began to change too. In 2023 and 2024, Binance became more lenient to vet the projects, focusing on sustainable tokenomics, project compliance, and real utility. This added maturity to the projects that were offered by Binance, but there also was growth to a more tutored approach to Launchpool.
🚀 2025: What Has Changed at Launchpool?
At this point, Binance Launchpool is not solely about “farming” — it is about positioning. Binance Launchpool is now focused on:
-
Regulatory compliant
-
Operational projects (not ideas)
-
Transparent token allocation models
Although the APY (Annual Percentage Yield) are much lower from the glory days of 2020–2021, the risk level is also drastically lower.
Chances of getting “rugged” are much lower, and the chances of participating in something that is meant to last is much higher.
💸 Is It Still Profitable?
That really depends on your strategy.
If you are looking at Launchpool in 2025 for massive short-term gains, then maybe you will be disappointed. However, if you are an investor with a long-term horizon, and you are still holding BNB or FDUSD, Launchpool is a viable way to generate return for the use of your tokens (for very little work).
Many experienced users now view Launchpool as just a bonus step to their HODL strategy — stake your tokens, forget about them for a few weeks, and see what you generated.
🛡️ Safer, But Less Flashy
Among the largest differences for 2025 is Binance’s selection of Launchpool projects. Instead of launching a dozen or two of hype-filled tokens, Binance is now limiting Launchpool entries to a few high-quality projects once per quarter.
For some users, this conservative selection indicates a more mature process. For others that are chasing fast flips, this is less interesting.
🧠 Final Decision: Still Worth It?
Yes — If your goals line up.
✅ Launchpool is still worth using in 2025 if:
-
You already have BNB or hardly any stablecoin
-
You prefer low-risk earnings
-
You’re convinced on the long-term sustainability of vetted Web3 projects
❌ It may not be for you if:
-
You’re looking for fast and high-risk/high-reward plays
-
You’re not a returning user on Binance or holding the requisite tokens
