How to Buy New Coin Before It’s Listed on Exchanges

In this guide, you will see where to find new crypto projects earlier, before they're listed on an exchange to make a huge return on your investment.

Buying a crypto before it’s listed can help you make a huge gain!

If you’ve heard about a new crypto token and you want to invest in it, the problem may be that it’s not listed on any exchange yet.

Luckily, there are ways to buy that crypto of choice before anyone else does, so you can make good profit.

In this article, we’ll explain how you can get your hands on new tokens without having to wait for an ICO or presale to open up.

Let’s dive in…

How to buy new cryptos before listing

In order to make this guide pretty simple, we have explained every process you’ll need to follow in full details.

Choose an exchange

Now that you’ve decided to invest in a new coin, you should find and choose an exchange where you can buy it.

When it comes to listing a new cryptocurrency like; Sui token, it’s essential to choose good exchange to maximize visibility, liquidity, and potential growth.

One such exchange is KuCoin, which offers numerous benefits for both projects and their communities.

As with any investment, there are several factors at play here:

  • Does the exchange support the token, for example, Kagi token. If not, this could limit your options for trading and selling the coin later on. For example, if Ethereum hasn’t been added yet but Bitcoin has been added by multiple exchanges (as has happened), then it makes sense for most people who want access to both currencies to use those exchanges instead of creating an account somewhere else just because one doesn’t have support for Ethereum yet.
  • Is there a good reputation among users? You don’t want any surprises coming from someone misusing your personal information or funds when using an exchange; this includes things like security breaches or fees being higher than expected when transferring money between wallets on different platforms.

Get an EVM supported crypto wallet

As you’re planning your cryptocurrency purchase, you’ll need a wallet that supports ERC-20 standard tokens on Ethereum network.

If you already have an Ethereum-compatible wallet… great!

Otherwise, we recommend getting one, so you can easily transfer it into this new account, once your crypto get listed on an exchange.

Transfer USDT/ETH to the wallet

MetaMask is a browser plugin that allows you to interact with the Ethereum network. It acts as a bridge between your browser and the distributed web of tomorrow, today.
MetaMask includes a secure identity vault, providing a user interface to manage your identities on different sites and sign blockchain transactions. It also features an easy-to-use password manager so you can log into sites without having to remember complicated passwords.
Better still, when used in combination with compatible browsers like Brave or Opera Mini (Android only), MetaMask offers an enhanced experience by allowing users to interact with decentralized applications (DApps) directly from their mobile device.

Connect MetaMask to IMPT Presale website

You’ll have to connect MetaMask to the IMPT presale website in order to purchase IMPT tokens.

This can be done by following these steps:

  1. Go to https://imptpresale.io/ and click on ‘Connect MetaMask’ button at the top right corner
  2. A new window will open, asking you to log into your MetaMask account or create one if you don’t have one yet (you’ll need Ether)
  3. Once logged in, click the ‘Sign In’ button on the page as well to get you logged into your account.

Buy IMPT

IMPT is an ERC-20 token, which means that it can be stored in any Ethereum compatible wallet.

You can store your IMPT on MyEtherWallet, MetaMask or Trust Wallet, for example.

IMPT is also a utility token with a use case within the Impulse Gaming ecosystem, and will be used as payment for services provided by the gaming platform.

For example; If you want to play poker using their platform, then you would need to pay for chips using IMPT tokens (or another cryptocurrency).

Best ways to buy crypto before launch

In this section of the article, we are going to show you some other simple ways you can also use to find new coins to buy.

1. Finding an ICO or Crypto Presale

Finding a crypto presale that is open to US investors can be difficult, but it’s definitely not impossible.

You will also need to look for an ICO (Initial Coin Offering), or Crypto Presale site that has a good reputation and community.

The team should have experience in the space, and they should be able to show you their past work in the form of previous projects they have worked on.

2. Join a Presale Telegram Group

Telegram sociam media is the best way to stay up to date with new crypto and blockchain projects.

Once you have joined a few telegram groups, it’s easy to find out about upcoming ICOs and presales.

To join a telegram group, simply search for ‘ICO’ or ‘Presale’ in the search bar at the top of your Telegram app.

Once you’ve found a group that interests you, click on its name to be taken directly into it!

You’ll then see all kinds of information about upcoming ICOs and presales from individuals who already invested in them.

This includes links where they can buy tokens before they hit exchanges.

Check Initial Coin Offering calendars

There are good number of websites and apps that can help you find upcoming ICOs, but the best ones are; CoinMarketCap and CryptoCompare.

CoinMarketCap ICO Calendar – This is a great resource for finding all kinds of information about upcoming initial coin offerings.

The information you will find includes details on when they will begin and end, how much they’re raising, type of token to be issued (ERC20 or otherwise), etc.

It also integrates directly with your calendar so that you can add events to it automatically as soon as they happen.

CryptoCompare – This site has an extensive list of active ICOs along with performance metrics, crowdsale dates/times/amount raised (if applicable), team members etc.

You can filter by platform type even, so if Ethereum isn’t your thing, then maybe Neo will be instead.

When we say ‘active’ we mean these projects haven’t yet completed their crowd sales

However, be sure not to invest any money into anything until after their crowdsale ends successfully without issue.

This also includes tokens being listed on exchanges after launch day has passed.

Check and follow crypto news websites

Below are some of the best crypto and blockchain news websites you should be reading to follow up with ICOs:

  • Crypto and Blockchain News Websites
  • CoinDesk – one of the most trusted sources for breaking news in the industry.
  • Cointelegraph – another great place to get up-to-date information on what’s happening in the cryptocurrency space.
  • Crypto and Blockchain Blogs/Blogsites (e.g., Medium)
  • The Bitcoin Blog – one of the oldest blogs about bitcoin, written by Satoshi Nakamoto himself! This is an interesting read if you want an inside look at how it all started.

Initial Coin Offerings vs Presales

ICOs are a great way to invest in cryptocurrencies, which you’ll be able to buy tokens at a discount.

If by any chance, the crypto project takes off, the value of those tokens will likely increase, and that’s how you can make huge profit.

However, ICOs are much more riskier than pre-sales, because they’re open to everyone who can join.

It means there’s no guarantee that you’ll get into one of these highly sought-after events, or even get your money back if it doesn’t work out.

Presale tokens are typically sold at a discount from their final value on exchanges (like; Binance or KuCoin).

Sometimes, there’s also an additional bonus included with your purchase depending on how much time remains before launch date.

Public vs private crypto presales

A public crypto presale is an opportunity for you to buy tokens before they hit exchanges, which makes their prices to appreciate as well.

These are often open to anyone who wants to buy, but there may be some restrictions on how much you can invest, or region (i.e. where you live).

Private presales are more exclusive and require more time and effort than public presales option.

To participate in a private presale, you’ll need a referral code from someone that already has access in order to join one of these sales.

Even then, there’s no guarantee that your application will be accepted.

If they do let you participate though, it could mean huge profits down the road when those same coins go on sale at full exchange price.

Final thoughts

Buying new coins before they are listed on an exchange is profitable strategy for investors who are willing to take on the risks associated with early-stage projects.

By conducting thorough research, participating in token sales, and staying informed on the project’s developments, you can potentially secure a position in a promising new coin.

However, it’s essential to know that investing in new crypto-coins also carries risks, so you should always invest responsibly and within your risk tolerance.

The entire crypto market can be intimidating somehow for a first-timer, but if you follow this guide, you will learn how to buy new unlisted coins safely.
