BitTorrent Token Sale Completes in 15 Minutes Amid Astronomical Demand

BitTorrent, the company acquired by Tron, has seen great success in the public sale of its BTT Tokens. The company raised millions of dollars in a matter of minutes, despite the fact that some technical difficulties took place. The news has been published on Twitter by Tron CEO Justin Sun.

It is official: In the BNB session, all 23.76 billion BTT were sold to token sale participants within 13 minutes and 25 seconds. Meanwhile, in the TRON session, all 35.64 billion BTT were sold within 14 minutes and 41 seconds. #BTT $BTT #BitTorrent #TRON https://t.co/C1dqxRkO2l

At 3:00 UTC, the token sale started. It was organized on Binance Launchpad, a token sale platform run by the Binance exchange. Two simultaneous sales were run for Binance Coin and Tron. BTT investors could participate through two separate sale sessions, one for those paying with the token native to the Tron blockchain, TRX, and the other for those paying with Binance’s native exchange token, BNB. Each BTT token was valued at $0.00012.

Both the sales lasted less than 20 minutes due to the heavy demand. More than 59 billion tokens were sold in the BitTorrent public sale. In all, the BNB-BTT sale sold 23.76billion BTT tokens, with the TRX-BTT sale selling 35.64billion tokens. BTT tokens sale raised a total of $7.2 million. There were about620 contributors to the TRX session and about 340 contributors on the BNB session.

As Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao said, the sale could have ended in just seconds if not for technical issues with the Launchpad platform.

Both sessions concluded. Took about 18 minutes, due to a system issue, would have taken 18 seconds otherwise. Demand was astronomical.

Full transparency. The issue experienced today was caused by the "user agreement confirmation" button caching/locking. Most of the stress tests focused on the buy process, this part was not covered thoroughly enough. The order of requests received was preserved.

Justin Sun said:

“We had tremendous success during our crowdfunding on Binance Launchpad, which sold out in less than 15 minutes amidst a very positive response, right before the Q2 launch of BitTorrent Speed and its accompanying products.”

He added:

“The BTT token will be instrumental in its ability to incentivize users on BitTorrent, to share and seed [media] on the platform.”

As Binance Launchpad overloaded, many buyers could not purchase BTT. Sun tried to work out a solution. Later, he wrote on Twitter:

I would like to explore the possibility with @binance to giveaway free $BTT to everyone on launchpad fails to get #BTT today. #BitTorrent community wants you! Not 100% guarantee. Need to figure out detail. BUT RT if you agree! @cz_binance #TRON $BNB $TRX
