On June 30, 2025, Qubetics listed its native TICS coin on centralized exchanges (CEXs) MEXC and LBank, following the close of its multi-stage crypto presale that raised over $18.4 million. The project sold approximately 517 million TICS tokens to more than 28,000 participants across all rounds, with a final presale price of $0.337. Listing began at 11:00 AM UTC, with an opening exchange price set at $0.40 USD.
Within the first hour of trading, $TICS surged on both exchanges, reaching an all-time high (ATH) of $4.20 on MEXC, marking a 950% increase from its initial listing price of $0.40. A day later, the token reached a second ATH of $5.00 on LBank before entering a price correction phase. As of July 3, $TICS is trading near $1.70 on both exchanges, 350% above the TICS token listing price.
With a total supply of 1.36 billion tokens, this price implies a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of approximately $2.6 billion USD. Data aggregators currently list the market cap near that same level, though circulating supply remains restricted due to vesting.
Combined first-day trading volume exceeded $700,000 USD across both exchanges. The liquidity was sourced directly by the Qubetics team and its market-making partners, as no presale tokens were in circulation at launch. This meant all market activity came from new buyers purchasing $TICS on open markets.
Qubetics Layer-1 Blockchain Project and Upcoming Mainnet Launch
Qubetics is building a Layer-1 blockchain using the Cosmos SDK with EVM compatibility. The protocol is designed to support cross-chain interoperability, native staking, on-chain governance, and decentralized infrastructure services. One of its core applications is a decentralized virtual private network (dVPN), which will use validator nodes to route encrypted data in a censorship-resistant manner.
The team is preparing to launch the Qubetics mainnet in the second half of 2025. Smart contract audits are conducted by CertiK, with several of them concluded successfully. Following the mainnet launch, Qubetics plans to activate Delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus. Additional tools in development include a multi-chain non-custodial wallet (supporting staking and dApp interaction) and a low-code development platform intended to simplify application creation on the Qubetics chain.
TICS Token Vesting Schedule Options and Community Vote Outcome
Before listing, Qubetics submitted two vesting options to a community vote. The first option proposed a 10% unlock at the token generation event (TGE), followed by linear vesting of the remaining 90% over 90 days. The second option, which was ultimately selected, implemented a stricter lock.
Under the approved plan, 100% of public sale tokens are locked for the first 30 days following the TGE. After this cliff period, 10% of each participant’s allocation will be airdropped. The remaining 90% will vest daily at a rate of 1% over the next 90 days. Team, advisor, and reserve allocations are under a separate six-month lock before vesting begins. This structure delays sell pressure from presale and insider participants, ensuring that early trading relies solely on exchange liquidity.
Qubetics TICS Coin Launch: Early Distribution and Buyer Profiles
Due to the lock on all presale tokens, trading activity during the first days came exclusively from TICS tokens made available through exchange liquidity pools. The team or affiliated market makers funded these pools. No presale or public sale participants were able to access their tokens, and any early sell activity required prior purchase on MEXC or LBank.
As a result, the TICS coin availability was tightly constrained, and price action reflected a temporary imbalance between demand and circulating supply. The sharp increase in price during the opening hours expanded the implied project valuation significantly. As vesting unlocks begin later in the year, additional supply will enter the market and may influence price and trading behavior. The first airdrop for public sale participants is scheduled for July 30, 2025.
