According to @bobbyong, Legion has completed a successful fundraise and aims to bring back ICOs, with offerings expected to happen via Legion soon, based on his X post dated Aug 20, 2025.

According to @bobbyong's post, no raise amount, valuation, token ticker, or launch timeline were disclosed, so traders focused on primary issuance should monitor official Legion updates for allocation mechanics, whitelists, and listing venues before positioning.
