Portal to Bitcoin

Portal to Bitcoin (PTB) is a pioneering DeFi project backed by tier-one investors such as Coinbase Ventures, OKX Ventures, and Arrington Capital. With world-class technology in hand, the team faced a common but critical challenge: no clear go-to-market (GTM) strategy, weak community traction, and no defined brand voice. In the crowded DeFi space, credibility and momentum were slipping away.

That’s when Altcoin Edge (ACE) stepped in.

The Challenges

Before partnering with Altcoin Edge, Portal to Bitcoin was held back by four major roadblocks:

• No GTM Playbook: No clear roadmap for user acquisition, testnet growth, or wallet adoption.
• Low Social Traction: Weak engagement made it difficult to build credibility with traders or exchanges.
• Fragmented Organisation: Without structure or strategy, growth efforts were scattered and inconsistent.
• Weak Content: Messaging lacked cohesion and didn’t resonate with crypto-native audiences.

All of this against the backdrop of a hyper-competitive DeFi sector, where stronger players were already competing for top exchange listings.

Our Strategy

Altcoin Edge deployed The Leverage Launch Framework — our proprietary system for transforming visibility into negotiation power with exchanges.

Our approach combined five core models:

1. Brand Engineering
   Rebuilt the brand voice from the ground up using sentiment analysis, competitor mapping, and narrative testing. The result: a crypto-native persona that traders could trust.
2. Cross-Channel Growth Engine
   Applied a tested channel-mix playbook to reach high-signal platforms, regional hubs, and trading communities. Precision over noise.
3. Grassroots Momentum Model
   Designed organic campaigns to activate micro-communities, create rituals, and embed Portal into the wider conversation.
4. Field-Proven TGE Playbook
   Executed the launch with precision: pricing, listings, and demand management to avoid common pitfalls.
5. Influencer Alignment Model
   Built long-term relationships with credible KOLs who move markets, ensuring authentic amplification beyond launch.

The Results

The outcomes were transformative:

• Trading Volume: $800M in the first 24 hours, $1.6B within 48 hours of launch.
• Community Growth:
  • X (Twitter) followers: 140K → 500K+
  • Discord members: 130K → 600K
• Market Visibility: Repeatedly ranked #1 on Kaito Mindshare, consistently in the top 7.
• Exchange Leverage: Secured tier-one listings on favourable terms, plus organic listings driven by market momentum.
• Brand Strength: From under-recognised project to one of the most visible names in Web3.
