Binance Launchpad Reveals WazirX Sale Results

Published at: Feb. 4, 2020

Binance Launchpad, as the name suggests, is Binance’s token launch platform, which has just announced WazirX’s token sale results. It is the first token sale of this year.  

According to a Feb. 4 press release from Binance, there were 10,000 winning tickets held by a total of 9,033 winners. More than 20,000 users participated to try to win the lottery. Eventually, more than 136,000 tickets were claimed. Chances of winning for all the participants are at 44 percent and this also puts the percentage of winning tickets at 7.31%.  

The WazirX token sale was conducted through a single session where participants purchased WazirX (WRX) tokens using BNB. In the session, all 100,000,000 WRX tokens were sold to Launchpad participants who drew and claimed winning lottery tickets. 

Binance Launchpad also said that the winners’ BNB balances would be deducted according to the number of tickets that they won within 24 hours.

WazirX is India's leading bitcoin exchange with an auto-matching peer-to-peer engine. WazirX advertises itself as working to solve the fiat-to-cryptocurrency conversion problem and simplifying the process of depositing and withdrawing fiat. WazirX (WRX) will be listed on Binance starting tomorrow. It will open trading for WRX/BNB, WRX/BTC and WRX/USDT trading pairs at 2 am UTC on February 5.

As Cointelegraph reported earlier last year that the leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced major changes to the format of its Launchpad token sale in a post on its blog published on March 24.

Per the announcement, the company “will use a new lottery format for the next project on Binance Launchpad.” Previously, the system functioned on a first-come, first-served basis, which left many users who joined high-demand sale queues without tokens.

Celebs who got burned endorsing crypto and those that got away with it
Celebrities had a shaky year promoting crypto firms and projects throughout 2022. Many found themselves named in lawsuits over their alleged promotion of since-failed projects, while others have been relentlessly mocked on social media for their involvement in the first place. From movie stars to television actors, sports stars to musicians, many celebrities may be regretting their endorsement deals last year, though that’s not to say that there haven’t been exceptions. Who got burned? In February last year, American comedian Larry David, who co-created the television series Seinfeld, appeared in a Super Bowl commercial for now-defunct crypto exchange FTX that …
