How Crypto Presales Are Changing Early-Stage Investment

Traditionally, startups raised money through VCs. In crypto, presales are filling that role. Early backers fund the project, and in return, they get tokens before public launch — often at discounted rates with bonuses.

For developers, this model is powerful: it decentralizes fundraising and builds community alignment early. For investors, it’s both an opportunity and a risk — presales can bring huge ROI, but careful research is key.

I’ve been exploring Early Profits, which curates presale projects and adds an affiliate option for those who want to promote. They even offer a bonus — with my code XGET5EXTRA you can claim 5% extra tokens if you join any presale.

It’s worth watching this trend closely, especially in 2025, as more projects move to community-first funding.
