The countdown to Initia (INIT) token launch has finally begun, with Binance confirming Initia as its 68th Launchpool project, attracting the crypto space's attention to this next-gen omni-chain rollups network. From airdrop mechanics through listing dates and price Forecasts, INIT is generating a lot of hype as it gets ready to compete with giants of modular blockchains such as Celestia.
Here are the fundamentals, tokenomics, and some strategic comparisons of its own to other modular players in the Web3 space.
Initia Launch Date & Airdrop Details
- Launchpool Farming Period: April 17 to April 23, 2025
- Binance Listing Date: April 24, 2025, 11:00 a.m. UTC
- Initial Circulating Supply: ~148.75 million tokens (14.88% of total supply)
- Total Supply: 1 billion tokens
Binance will be the first to list INIT, making the exchange the only place for legitimate trading at launch. Any form of trading or sale before launch, other than Binance, should be treated as unverified or fraudulent.
Initia is distributing 30 million tokens (3% of supply) through an airdrop through Binance Launchpool. This six-day farming incentivizes participation and grows a community, which is vital for a modular ecosystem project-based project with grand L1 + L2 plans.
Pre-Market Insights
- Pre-market Price (as at Bitget listing on April 19): ~$0.7230
- FDV Estimate: $600M – $700M
Initia does not have a fully running mainnet app or appchains operational. From this, it is estimated that the token has high speculative interest at 25% of Celestia FDV.
Both Initia and Celestia are modular blockchains, but each has its own applications. Initia is geared toward building app-specific rollups, pairing Layer 1 and Layer 2, whereas Celestia is a modular data availability (DA) layer. As of April 2025, Initia's mainnet is yet to be live and bears a pre-TGE FDV of $600M–$700M, with pre-market trading around $0.60–$0.70. Celestia is up and running at a $2.7B FDV, with TIA trading around $2.5 (down from a high of $20). While the token seems positively geared with potential, the ballpark is, unlike Celestia, rather early.
As such, while Celestia is limited to DA, the token gives a broader and more integrated multichain vision: both infrastructure and dev environment for dApps. Depending on ecosystem adoption, this could see the token strongly justified above $2 or more.
Amid current market swings and macroeconomic uncertainty, a realistic listing price for now would be between $0.30-$0.40, along the lines of the post-launch strategies visible in Arbitrum and Optimism, where prices gradually scaled by the ecosystem's development.
- Demand for Binance Launchpool
- Broader market sentiment in late April 2025
- Actual use of INIT after the launch (Minitia deployments, dApp traction)
- Community reception to the airdrop and circulating supply
The price forecast for the year 2025 depends largely on market conditions and the state of post-launch developments. In a bearish case, prices could dip as low as $0.25-$0.35 on weak sentiment or sell-off after the Token Generation Event (TGE). A middle ground here gives the price range of $0.40-$0.65 under normal growth. If the token manages to launch its mainnet successfully and scale its ecosystem, the coin would have a fair chance of reaching levels between $1.00-$2.50 through heavy adoption and with investor confidence.
If the coin executes on its multichain vision and gains early developer traction, it could emerge as a leading modular Web3 protocol second only to Celestia and, in the next 12-18 months, merit an FDV of $2.5 billion.
