CartelFi presale raises $500k in 24 hours, offers 1000% APY for meme coin staking

• CartelFi’s presale raised $500,000 in the first 24 hours and over $1 million in the first week.
• The 90-day token sale increases price every 72 hours to reward early investors.
• Total supply of CARTFI is capped at 1 billion, with 50% of platform fees burned.

CartelFi has launched a decentralised staking platform designed to capture value from idle meme coins—an often overlooked corner of crypto markets.

Branded as the world’s first meme-powered yield cartel, it offers staking rewards in its native token, CARTFI, with APYs as high as 1000%. The project raised $500,000 within 24 hours of launch and has now crossed $1,512,206 during its ongoing presale.

With a 90-day structured sale, burn-based deflation, and high-yield staking pools, CartelFi is positioning itself as an alternative investment path for meme coin holders seeking passive income.

90-day presale, price tiers every 72 hours

CartelFi’s presale structure offers potential first-mover advantage. The price of CARTFI increases every 72 hours across the 90-day window, meaning early buyers can enter at lower rates.

By Q3 2025, the token is expected to list on exchanges and activate staking pools. This phased model mirrors the approach of previous presale successes like Solaxy, which raised $26 million, offering a blueprint for early-stage growth.

Investors can participate using multiple assets, including ETH, SOL, BNB, USDC, and USDT, which broadens entry accessibility and reduces reliance on a single chain.

1bn supply, 50% of fees burned

With a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens, CartelFi aims to build long-term token value through scarcity. Half of all platform fees are allocated to market buybacks, with 50% of those tokens burned.

This deflationary pressure is designed to gradually reduce supply as platform usage scales. For investors, that creates the potential for token value appreciation over time—provided staking activity and fee volume increase after launch.

A further 25% of tokens are set aside for ecosystem development, including partnerships and platform growth, while 25% go toward liquidity incentives.

Staking yields up to 1000% APY

CartelFi’s staking model allows meme coin holders to generate passive income without liquidating their original positions.

Yields range from 150% to 1000% APY depending on the lock-in period, with rewards funded by fee revenue rather than inflationary token printing.

The six-month pool offers the highest APY at 1000%, while four-month and three-month pools provide 250% and 150%, respectively.

The project has undergone a smart contract audit by SolidProof, and its contracts are open-source. While such high yields come with risk, the fee-based reward model may offer more sustainability than inflation-based staking seen in failed DeFi launches.

How it compares to recent launches

CartelFi enters a market with a mixed record for presale coins. While Solaxy saw strong early momentum, roughly 93% of GameFi and meme-based tokens launched in 2023 and early 2024 failed to retain their value post-launch. W

What differentiates CartelFi is its real-world utility for idle meme tokens, a deflationary structure that may support long-term value, and a clear roadmap tied to staking demand.

Whether that translates to post-launch resilience remains to be seen—but for investors seeking early-stage DeFi plays with real token use, CartelFi’s model presents an alternative worth noting.
