A trader on my Discord posted an allocation confirmation yesterday. Monad ICO: $5,000. Immunity: $3,000. Bob: $2,000. Total investment: $10,000.
Someone asked him why he was investing so much money in an ICO when Memcoin was still operating. His answer was: “I’m not choosing one or the other. I’m overlapping both strategies.”
He then explained his math. If these ICOs perform like Solana and Polygon did at launch, that $10,000 will go from $50,000 to $100,000 in a matter of weeks. Take half of that profit. Take your profits and distribute them to Memecoin. Suddenly you’re playing with the house’s money on both sides.
At that point, everyone in the chat clicked. Whales making millions don’t choose ICOs or memecoins. They are using ICO allocations to generate capital that can dominate the memecoin play without risk.
November 2025 presents the same opportunity for retailers. These are the three major ICOs launching this month with the backing of legitimate institutions, instant unlocks, and entry prices paid by VCs months ago. This is not a 2017 scam zone. This is a project curated by Coinbase and Coinlist with real technology.
The question is not whether to give up memecoins. Whether to continue purchasing MEMCOIN with your initial capital or start purchasing with a 10x profit from your ICO allocation.
Monad: Layer 1 Powered by Coinbase Everybody’s Fighting
Monad launches on Coinbase Launchpad on November 17th for $0.025 per token. This is Coinbase’s first accessible token sale in the U.S. since 2019. They don’t randomly pick projects for their comebacks.
The technology is targeting 10,000 TPS with full Ethereum compatibility. Paradigm provided $225 million in funding. The team hasn’t rushed a release just to get the hype, it’s been building for years.
The settings are as follows: Minimum $100 gets you $0.025 worth of tokens. Full unlocking upon token creation means instant liquidity. If Monad captures even a fraction of Solana’s trajectory of success, early allocators see 10x to 20x potential.
The play is simple. Get assigned. Tokens will be unlocked upon launch. Like most major ICOs, if you pump 5x in the first week, you take half as profit and leave the rest alone. Those profits become your memecoin war chest and the remaining Monad position covers your initial investment.
Immunefi: The Unattractive 10x No One Is Talking About
Immunefi is not sexy. Web3 bug bounty platform. However, it secured over $60 billion in DeFi assets and paid out $100 million in bounties. All major protocols use it.
CoinList sale offers tokens for $0.01337. This is a 73% discount from what the VC paid in the last private round. Tokens are 100% unlockable upon creation, meaning there is no vesting overhang holding down the price.
This is the definition of asymmetric risk reward. With better liquidity terms, you will purchase essential DeFi infrastructure at better prices than institutions. The upside may be “only” 5x-10x instead of a 50x memecoin moonshot, but it’s 5x-10x on something with real returns.
Whale Strategy: Allocate 5x to 10x here for high odds. Use these gains to enlarge your memecoin position 50x to 100x what you need for generational wealth. Instead of choosing one or the other, build your strategy.
BOB: Bitcoin DeFi gateway that prints initial allocators
Build on Bob began bringing Ethereum-style DeFi to Bitcoin on November 10th. One-click BTCFi. Zero-knowledge proof. Everything Bitcoin holders wanted but couldn’t easily access.
The ICO allocated 400 million tokens to CoinList and Gate Web3. Vesting is 50% at launch and 50% over 3 months. The community tranche FDV started at $165 million, which is undervalued if it captures even 1% of Bitcoin’s DeFi ambitions.
Bitcoin DeFi is a story that everyone knows but no one supports. BOB is an infrastructure play with early-stage entry pricing. If Bitcoin DeFi really takes off, early allocators will significantly increase their positions.
The assignment window is closed but shows the pattern. It’s about getting into the infrastructure play before the narrative becomes mainstream. Use these gains to dominate as the memecoin narrative shifts.
Capital accumulation strategy whale use
Here’s what successful cryptocurrency traders have discovered: You cannot choose between ICO and memecoin. Use ICOs to raise capital and then deploy that capital to MEMCOIN with confidence.
Example: Monad is allocated $2,000. 10x to $20,000 at launch. You make a profit of $10,000 and are left with $10,000 to ride. That $10,000 profit goes into three beaten memecoins placed for the next spin.
Now you are playing both sides. Your Monad position covers your initial investment many times over. Your memecoin position is pure upside funded by profits. If your memecoin multiplies by 5, you made $50,000 from your initial allocation of $2,000.
This is how small accounts become big accounts. Rather than going all-in on one strategy, use a stack of multiple edge strategies that are used in combination.
Traders who make millions in cryptocurrency are not people who have perfect timing on a single coin. They are the ones with ICO allocations that fund memecoin positions which in turn fund the next ICO cycle. Compound leverage across strategies.
Why November 2025 is the perfect entry point
We are in a unique window. Bitcoin is stable at around $110,000. Major altcoins are consolidating. Memecoins has had an initial launch and is in the process of being reset. ICOs are making a comeback with institutional support and compliance.
This creates an ideal setting for capital accumulation. Get your ICO allocation now at pre-market prices. Tokens will be unlocked from late November to December. Earn money as you pump at launch. Deploy those profits into MEMCOIN during the next accumulation phase before the December rally.
Timing provides sequential opportunities rather than forced choices. You are not giving up your memecoins to buy an ICO. You are using your ICO allocation to create a larger memecoin position than you could otherwise afford.
The description on Crypto Twitter is “ICOs are the new airdrops,” but this is incomplete. ICO is a capital creation mechanism. Memecoin is a capital deployment mechanism. You need both.
How to put this strategy into practice
Set up your accounts on Coinbase Launchpad, CoinList, Gate Web3, and Legion today. These platforms screen legitimate ICO opportunities and handle compliance.
Allocate $100 to $1,000 per ICO depending on your capital base. USDC or USDT must be prepared and KYC verification must be completed. Minimum admission fees typically range from $50 to $100.
Do not expect to receive a full allocation request. ICOs are often oversubscribed, so you could ask for $5,000 and receive $500. it’s okay. Even small allocations add up significantly as the project is carried out.
If the tokens are unlocked and pumped when they are released, you will earn at least 50% profit. This is not delivered on paper. This is to secure the profits from your memecoin allocation. Use the rest for long-term upside.
Use those profits strategically. Don’t copy the trends of the day. Just wait for Memecoin integration. Join a broken project with a strong community. Instead of chasing the pump, offer the best risk reward.
Infrastructure Benefits
Whether you’re thinking about stacking your ICO profits on a memecoin play or starting your own project, execution quality is more important than ever.
Rocket Suite provides infrastructure for deploying competitive tokens on Ethereum and Base with volume optimization across BNB Chain, Solana, Plasma, Base, Ethereum, and XRP. As ICO capital eventually circulates through the ecosystem, the memecoin projects that are positioned to capture that flow are those with professional launch execution.
The gap between projects that survive the cycle and those that disappear continues to widen. Professional infrastructure, consistent volume strategy, and building the right community separate the winners from the losers. Capital is flowing. Capturing this requires preparation.
conclusion
The path to whale status in November 2025 is not about choosing between ICOs and memecoins. It’s an intelligent stacking of two strategies.
Monad, Immunefi and BOB represent institutionally backed ICO opportunities at pre-market prices. If it performs like previous cycles, early allocators will see 5x to 20x returns within a few weeks. These profits become capital controlling memecoin positions without the risk of your initial investment.
My Discord trader with an ICO allocation of $10,000 is not giving up on memecoins. He is generating capital to play memecoins bigger and smarter than he could with his original stack.
That’s not luck. It’s all about understanding how successful traders actually build wealth in cryptocurrency. Various strategies. Compound leverage. Opportunistic capital circulation.
The ICO window opened this month. Memecoin rotation is scheduled for December. Instead of choosing one or the other, take a stance on both.
3 ICO Coins That Can Turn $1,000 into $100,000 was originally published before December on Coinmonks on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
