Startup Proves to Be a Resounding Success

Notably, Startup was tapped by projects such as WooTrade (WOO), CoralSwap (Coral), and Juggernaut (JGN) which were, collectively, successful in raising more than $10 million worth of USDT through the IEO platform.

Along the same lines, Juggernaut and CoralSwap were launched on the platform on October 9, and October 16, respectively. Both of these projects went on to raise capital more than 3.5 million USDT each within a few days.

Specifically, WOO, Coral, and JGN tokens were oversubscribed by 1,600%, 700%, and 2,350%, respectively, signaling strong demand for the projects’ high demand. Consequently, the projects proved to be a resounding investment decision for their tokens subscribers who received enviable returns on their investments.
