"Make it Count" marks another year of Messi being a Crypto Face, showcasing a short film collaboration between Messi and Bitget Exchange that highlights their strong two-year partnership. During this period, the exchange entered the Top 5 in trading volume, while Messi, The Goat, secured his first World Cup victory. This two-year bond reflects growth on both sides and illustrates the increasing presence of crypto in the broader community.

The Messi partnership not only garnered interest but also served as a bridge, particularly in Latin America where crypto is viewed as an escape from inflation rates, echoing Messi's connection to Argentina. Such partnerships with influential personalities play a crucial role in introducing crypto to those who may have limited knowledge about it. What are your thoughts on these crypto bonds in general?

We are near one of the best bull runs in Crypto history, no doubt. Saying this, Launchpad and Launchpool projects were some of the best early investments after the last halving. Seedify Fund and DAO Maker gained significant trading volume on their platforms and tokens, but at the same time, some CEX native tokens became mandatory for their own launchpools, experiencing significant pumps. Last year, we saw strong projects on certain CEX platforms, and some native tokens generated substantial profits (for example, $BGB consistently broke ATH and was one of the top performers among CEX tokens).

Let's examine the multipliers on Launchpools. Binance leads the list with a 13X, but despite that, BNB faced challenges last year (CZ resigned, and exits from some countries didn't help). Ape Terminal topped the DeFi section with interesting projects like INspect and secured the second position. Coinlist is experiencing a revival, hosting strong projects and potentially becoming one of the top launchpads (Solana had its ICO here). Bitget led almost the entire year with an average ROI of 5000%, and the token BGB saw an impressive 300% rise, ending up in the Top 5 among CEX launchpools, surpassing giants like Bybit, Kucoin, and Seedify Fund.

What are your expectations for Launchpool tokens, and do you have a favorite?
