Learn why the price of Upcoming Tokens can change over time. This article will explain:
How token prices can vary during a pre-launch sale
Why prices fluctuate after launch when tokens are traded
What to expect in your wallet if you don’t see a value next to your newly claimed Upcoming Token
Price changes during pre-launch sales
During a pre-launch token sale, an Upcoming Token is sold in phases or stages. Each phase may mark a small increase in the token price.
For example:
You buy 10,000 tokens for $500 during an early phase
Over the course of the pre-launch sale, the token price may increase slightly
By the end of the sale, your Upcoming Tokens will be valued at $515 pre-launch
Important: This is a hypothetical example to show how phase-based pricing works. Actual prices and changes will vary per token sale and project value.
These gradual price changes are normal and reflect the structured phases of the pre-launch sale.
Price changes after launch
Once a token is officially launched and listed for trading on DEXs, its price is determined by live trades in the market.
This means:
Token price can go up or down depending on supply and demand
Your wallet will reflect the current market value of your tokens
These fluctuations are normal and expected for any tradable token
Other notes about token values
Because Upcoming Tokens, once launched, are new and have limited trading/price information, you may see some unusual stuff in your wallet:
If you can’t see a value next to your newly claimed Upcoming Token, this is normal. The value may not be displayed until the token’s trading price is established or fully integrated into your wallet. Read our guide on why your Upcoming Token might have N/A instead of a value.
Smart Contract actions like Claim or Stake may also appear in your History without showing a market value — this does not affect your tokens or their eventual price. Read our guide on smart contract transactions in your wallet.
Summary of Upcoming Token price changes
A summary of why your Upcoming Token purchases might change price:
Pre-launch: Token price may increase across sale phases; purchases are marked by phase pricing
Post-launch: Token price fluctuates as live trades occur on DEXs
Wallets may temporarily not show a value for newly claimed Upcoming Tokens; this is normal due to a delay between coin providers and wallets
Price changes are part of the standard lifecycle of an Upcoming Token and do not indicate any problem with your wallet or your tokens.
