Investors who bid on the REAL (REAL) token promoted by former UFC champion Conor McGregor will receive a full refund after the project failed to raise above its $1 million minimum requirement. “We need to be real. We didn’t hit our minimum raise,” the developers of the Real (REAL) token, Real World Gaming said in an April 6 X post, adding that “All bids will be refunded in full.” “This is not the end,” RWG said. The team only managed to raise $392,315 in USDC (USDC) over a 28-hour presale on April 5 and 6 — less than half of the minimum required and approximately 11% of the $3.6 million target, which was conducted via a sealed-bid auction.  The public sale of 60 million REAL tokens (3% of the total 2 billion REAL supply) initially targeted a fully diluted value of $120 million, with the sealed bid auction starting at $0.06 per token.

Conor McGregor's REAL token project has failed to raise the minimum required amount of $1 million, resulting in a full refund to investors. The project only managed to raise $392,315 in USDC over a 28-hour presale, less than half of the minimum required and approximately 11% of the $3.6 million target. The public sale of 60 million REAL tokens initially targeted a fully diluted value of $120 million. Only 668 participants were involved in the sealed-bid auction, which started at $0.06 per token. McGregor had claimed that his token would be more legitimate than other celebrity-endorsed tokens, which have frequently resulted in rug pulls. The REAL token launched during a sharp market downturn, with Bitcoin falling and US stocks experiencing a significant loss. The memecoin market has also been cooling off since the launch of the Official Trump memecoin and the Libra token scandal. The once-$100 billion memecoin market has now fallen below $44 billion and is down 13% over the last 24 hours. Despite the failure, the developers of the Real token said "this is not the end" and will likely revisit their project. The refund to investors is a positive outcome, but the project's failure highlights the challenges of launching a successful token in a declining market.
