DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, and Mantle, the high-performance distribution and liquidity layer for real-world assets, today announced a strategic partnership led by TokenLogic with Aave to advance decentralized finance (DeFi) accessibility and unlock new onchain liquidity channels for users worldwide.

Under this collaboration, Aave will launch on Mantle Network, bringing the industry’s most trusted decentralized lending protocols to a scalable, low-cost, EVM-compatible Layer-2 built for institutional-grade applications and real-world assets. This integration will enable users to supply, borrow, and access tokenized assets powered by Mantle’s fast-growing DeFi, RWA, stablecoin, and restaking ecosystems.

The partnership deepens the alignment between Mantle and Bybit, uniting protocol-level innovation with global exchange distribution. With Bybit acting as the Global Liquidity Bridge, the collaboration will strengthen liquidity pathways between centralized and decentralized venues with future plans to explore a variety of product offerings on the exchange including but not limited to asset listing, on-chain earn products, etc., subject to regulatory approval and market readiness.

Unlocking a New Era of Onchain Capital Efficiency

Aave’s deployment on Mantle establishes a powerful foundation for scalable and composable DeFi strategies, unlocking new liquidity routes that benefit both individual and institutional participants.

Mantle’s Layer-2 infrastructure enhances the efficiency of Aave’s lending pools by reducing transaction costs and latency while supporting high-throughput market activity.

Bybit’s global exchange infrastructure complements this expansion by offering direct connectivity between centralized liquidity, collateral management, and onchain DeFi markets, providing an integrated pathway for over 70 million users worldwide.

As part of the partnership, MNT-based yield incentive programs will be introduced within Aave pools. These incentives aim to reward early participation, strengthen asset utilization, and catalyze healthy liquidity formation within the Mantle ecosystem.

“This partnership represents a major step toward making decentralized finance truly scalable and globally accessible,” said Emily Bao, Key Advisor at Mantle.. “By combining Aave’s proven liquidity engine with Mantle’s high-performance Layer-2 and Bybit’s worldwide market reach, we are building a unified financial experience that bridges CEX liquidity with the next generation of on-chain markets.”

“Bringing Aave to Mantle reinforces our mission to make high-performance DeFi infrastructure accessible to all,” said Emily. “Together with Bybit, we are creating a more connected liquidity environment – one where users and institutions can engage with decentralized markets confidently, efficiently, and at global scale. This collaboration sets the stage for deeper integrations and future market opportunities.”

“This deployment on Mantle, together with Bybit’s global distribution, connects institutional-grade infrastructure with Aave’s deep, 24/7 liquidity,” said Stani Kulechov, Founder of Aave Labs. “By bringing Aave’s lending markets to Mantle’s high-performance network with direct access to Bybit’s exchange, this integration makes transparent, onchain finance available at global scale for institutions worldwide.”

“Deploying Aave on Mantle represents an important milestone in expanding our protocol across high-throughput networks to make DeFi win,” said Matthew Graham, Founder and CEO at TokenLogic. “We’re excited to see a lot more users benefit from the efficiencies and new liquidity sources unlocked through this integration with Mantle and Bybit.”

Advancing the Future of Integrated On-chain Finance

The partnership between Bybit, Mantle and Aave represents a decisive move towards a more unified, liquid, and accessible on-chain financial system. By combining Aave’s protocol security, Mantle’s execution performance and Bybit’s global distribution, the collaboration lays the foundation for the next phase of scalable DeFi infrastructure where capital can move seamlessly between centralized platforms and decentralized protocols.

Together, the partners aim to accelerate global DeFi adoption and deliver a frictionless financial environment for retail users, builders, and institutions across the world.

GENEVA, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At Mt Pelerin, we are excited to announce today the launch of personal crypto IBANs.

With this new feature, our users can transform their self-custodial wallets into something more: a universal account that seamlessly sends and receives money across both blockchain and traditional banking networks.

A core tenet of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is self-custody, the fact of owning and controlling one’s money without any third party that could seize or freeze funds. It means financial freedom, but in practice it often means being disconnected from the rest of the world that uses the traditional banking system.

Thanks to our new crypto IBAN, this now changes and makes self-custody more convenient and integrated into everyday life.

With it, users can create a personal euro or Swiss franc IBAN and attach it to their crypto wallet, which enables them to:

• Receive bank transfers from anyone,  directly converted into crypto on their own wallet.
• Send bank transfers to anyone , using crypto from their wallet.

These payments look like any standard bank transfer, sent and received from an IBAN in the user’s name, while the crypto settlement happens seamlessly in the background.

This feature is a milestone for us, as our mission is to promote and simplify self-custody to make it a practical alternative to a traditional bank account.

Today, that vision is now reality. By giving a wallet its own IBAN, it becomes a powerful tool to hold and manage money without any third-party custody, while still being able to make transactions with the rest of the world.

It becomes a tool to opt-out from the custody of the banking system, the key to unlock financial freedom.

About the IBAN

• The EUR and CHF IBANs are located in Switzerland (which is in the SEPA zone).
• Both individuals and organizations can receive an IBAN.
• Users from all over the world can request an IBAN, except from our list of excluded countries.
• The IBAN is free.
• Conversions between fiats and the ZCHF stablecoin are free.
• For conversions with other cryptocurrencies, our standard fees apply.
• The IBAN can be linked to any self-custodial wallet.
• The IBAN can be used with 30+ cryptocurrencies on 15 chains.
• The IBAN is not a bank account, it doesn’t have to be declared as such.
• Available on app.mtpelerin.com and on mobile wallet app.

Open the Betway app during a busy matchday and you immediately feel the pace. Odds flicker, scores shift, corners update, and somewhere in the middle of it all you make a decision you were not planning five minutes earlier. Open a crypto app on a volatile day and something similar happens. Numbers climb and fall, charts blink, alerts buzz, and your hand hesitates over a button in the exact same way.

They are not the same kind of platform, not even close in purpose, yet they create a feeling that lives in the same part of the brain. It is not about betting or investing. It is about movement, timing and the strange calm people try to create while the screen refuses to stay still.

The Interface That Teaches You How to Think

Betwayapp does not try to overwhelm you. It breaks everything into clean sections. A match, a market, a possibility. Tap once and you’re already where you need to be. Crypto apps do the same. No clutter. No complicated menus. Just your balance, your tokens, your charts.

Both apps teach the same habit. You learn to scan quickly. Find what matters. Ignore what doesn’t. It becomes a small skill you stop noticing until someone else grabs your phone and gets lost in the layout.

When Real Time Becomes the Whole Experience

The strongest resemblance between the two isn’t the design. It’s the rhythm. Betway updates odds the moment something changes on the pitch. A foul, a card, a corner, a stretch of pressure, a long spell of nothing and it all shifts the odds by a fraction.

Crypto apps behave the same way. A rumor moves the price. A news headline, a sudden sell off, or even the mood of the market when everything becomes a tiny pulse on the screen.

In both cases, you’re not just looking at information. You’re looking at something alive. It reacts to the world and expects you to react with it.

The Feeling of Control, Even When You Don’t Have It

One reason these apps feel similar is the illusion they create. They make your phone feel like a small control room. Place the bet. Close the position. Cash out. Swap. Wait. Click.

You’re interacting with your money directly instead of through a counter, a teller, or a website that loads slowly. Action becomes part of the routine.

That sense of immediacy feels empowering, but it also reveals the hidden similarity between betting and crypto trading: both are decisions made under uncertainty dressed as opportunity.

Personalised Paths, Different Destinations

Betway learns the teams you follow, the markets you prefer and how often you check certain matches. It nudges you gently. You open the app and the things you care about appear first.

Crypto apps perform the same quiet trick. They push updates about the tokens you track, highlight trends you often click, and build a small pattern around your behaviour.

The apps behave differently, but the way they respond to you feels almost identical. You rarely see random content. You see a version of the world shaped by your own habits.

The Split That Never Disappears

For all the overlap in experience, the purpose behind each app is very different. Betway revolves around sport, entertainment and trying to read a match before it settles. Crypto platforms revolve around markets, asset value and long term risk.

But when you step back and watch how people use both, the resemblance becomes clearer. Not in content, but in behaviour. Both apps make people watch numbers. Both create tension around timing. Both make you check more often than you planned. Both reward calm thinking and punish reactions made too quickly.

The Real Connection

Betway is not a crypto app, and a crypto app is not a betting platform. But the digital environment they create is the one built on fast updates, personal habits, shifting numbers and quiet decision making and it belongs to the same modern world.

It is a world where your phone becomes a dashboard, your instincts compete with your logic, and your choices unfold in real time. That is the resemblance people feel but don’t always know how to explain.

BEIJING, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Token Cat Limited (Nasdaq: TC, the “Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors has formally approved a Crypto Asset Investment Policy (the “Policy”), authorizing the Company to allocate a portion of its cash reserves into selected crypto assets under a disciplined risk-management framework.

After careful evaluation, the Company decided to proceed with this Policy. Earlier, it appointed Sav Persico, with thirty years of crypto and blockchain experience, as Chief Operating Officer to lead its implementation.

Guangsheng Liu, Chief Executive Officer of Token Cat Limited, stated:”The Policy is an important step in strengthening our asset strategy. Sav’s deep expertise in crypto and blockchain will help us execute this long-term plan with strong discipline and effective leadership.”

Core Framework of the Policy:
1. Defined investment authorization and capital ceiling
The Board has approved an overall allocation limit of up to USD 1 billion for digital asset planning. Deployment will proceed in phases based on market conditions, risk assessments and capital management needs.

2. Selective asset allocation
The initial allocation will focus on emerging crypto project tokens with strong growth prospects, including assets related to AI, RAW-to-chain initiatives, and token-equity hybrid models. Any future expansion into additional asset categories will require reassessment and approval by the Board’s Risk Committee.

3. Highest-Tier Custody Standards: The Company will not self-custody acquired crypto assets.

4. Enhanced governance and oversight structure
The Company has formed a Crypto Asset Risk Committee, led by the CFO, to oversee asset allocation, manage risk controls, and report regularly to the Board.

Sav Persico commented:
It is an honor to take on this responsibility at such a pivotal time. The Company treats crypto assets as long-term value reserves, not speculative tools, aiming to enhance resilience amid macroeconomic uncertainty. I look forward to advancing our crypto asset strategy and strengthening industry collaboration to support sustainable, long-term growth.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Additional factors are described in the Company’s filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements except as required by law.

During the third quarter, we remained focused on our core mining operations, further strengthening Cango’s position as a scaled and operationally disciplined bitcoin miner. Specifically, we mined 1,930.8 BTC, averaging 21.0 BTC per day.

DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced support for USDT0 deposits and withdrawals on Mantle Network, becoming one of the first global exchanges to enable seamless cross-chain USDT0 flows. This integration makes Mantle the largest exchange-related Layer 2 network by total value locked (TVL). By supporting the new cross-chain standard for USDT, Mantle and Bybit are jointly positioned at the forefront of unified stablecoin liquidity infrastructure.

USDT0 is the cross-chain deployment of USDT, the largest stablecoin, serving as a “unified liquidity layer” across multiple networks. Built on LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard, USDT0 uses a mint-and-burn architecture that maintains a strict 1:1 backing and eliminates fragmented bridges.

With this launch, Bybit users will soon be able to:

• Deposit USDT0 from Mantle Network directly into Bybit
• Withdraw USDT0 from Bybit directly to Mantle Network
• Enjoy zero-fee USDT0 withdrawals to Mantle for a limited time

This collaboration brings together USDT0 as a liquidity infrastructure, Mantle as a leading exchange-linked L2 network, and Bybit as a global liquidity venue to help build the next phase of cross-chain stablecoin infrastructure.

USDT0 as a Unified USDT Layer

USDT0 aims to reshape stablecoin movement with:

• One liquidity layer: A single omnichain representation of USDT, not fragmented wrapped variants.
• Native cross-chain architecture: Using LayerZero’s OFT standard for direct mint-and-burn transfers.
• Simplified UX: Eliminating multi-hop bridging and complex routing for users and institutions.

Bybit’s support for USDT0 on Mantle syncs centralized liquidity, onchain applications, and cross-chain flows into a cohesive experience, giving users more predictable and efficient access to Tether-based liquidity.

Mantle as a Leading Exchange-Connected Network for USDT0

Mantle Network is a modular Layer 2 built on Ethereum, with deep ties to exchange infrastructure and a focus on distribution and liquidity for tokenized assets and real-world finance. Being among the first exchange-related networks to support USDT0 early, alongside Tether & Bybit, reinforces Mantle’s positioning as:

• A high-performance L2 optimized for stablecoin settlement and cross-chain flows.
• A gateway for exchange liquidity and institutional capital entering onchain ecosystems.
• A hub for DeFi, tokenization, and RWA markets built on stable, programmable collateral like USDT0.

For users, this means:

• Fast, low-cost USDT0 transfers on Mantle.
• Direct access to Bybit markets using USDT0 as a settlement and liquidity asset.
• Streamlined deployment of capital into Mantle-native applications.

“Supporting USDT0 early, together with Tether and Bybit, is a strategic step for Mantle,” said Emily Bao, Key Advisor at Mantle. “It strengthens Mantle’s role as a core venue for cross-chain stablecoin liquidity and the onchain capital markets that depend on it.”

“USDT0 was designed to unify liquidity across chains, and Mantle’s high-performance infrastructure makes it an ideal network for this vision,” said Lorenzo R., Co-Founder at USDT0. “Working alongside Bybit and Mantle enables us to deliver a more seamless, interoperable stablecoin standard that improves UX and accelerates multi-chain adoption for users and institutions alike.”

Improving Onchain UX and Capital Movement

USDT0 is designed to make stablecoin flows feel more intuitive and direct:

• More efficient cross-chain liquidity movement
• Reduced operational friction for both retail and institutional users
• Stronger alignment between centralized exchange rails and onchain destinations

Bybit’s integration adds:

• A centralized liquidity hub for USDT0 trading and portfolio management
• Direct on/off-ramps between Mantle and Bybit
• Free withdrawals during the initial rollout to encourage early adoption

Strategic Importance for Tether, Mantle, and Bybit

The early alignment across all three parties reflects a broader industry shift toward:

• Cross-chain stablecoin standards that unify rather than fragment liquidity
• Next-generation L2 infrastructure designed for high-volume capital flows
• Integration between issuers, exchanges, and high-performance networks
• Infrastructure required for DeFi, tokenization, and institutional-grade asset movement

With USDT0 now live on Mantle and will soon be available on Bybit, the ecosystem takes a major step toward a borderless, frictionless stablecoin standard that will underpin the next era of onchain finance.

Lisbon, Portugal, November 20th, 2025, Chainwire

The Crypto Content Creator Campus (CCCC) 2025 wrapped up a successful, sold-out three-day event in Lisbon, Portugal, from November 14 to 16, 2025. Hosted at the iconic Carlos Lopes Pavilion , the campus united top creators and innovators to shape the future of content creation within the Web3 and crypto sphere.

Day 1 of the event showcased the new era of influence, AI-driven monetisation, and creator-led crypto adoption. Key themes highlighted the evolution of affiliate marketing, AI-powered monetisation, and masterclasses in audience attention and authenticity. Ben Zhou, Bybit Co‑Founder & CEO, delivered the headline keynote, “Empowering the New Age of Affiliate Marketing,” offering a candid look into how affiliate marketing has transformed. Zhou reminded creators of the fundamentals: attention, value, and conversion, emphasising that compelling stories, strong thumbnails, aspirational lifestyle content, and consistent value delivery remain the creator’s responsibility. Looking ahead to 2025–2030, he highlighted the “Age of Compliance and Finfluencers” , noting that as crypto becomes a regulated global financial system, the creators who build for the long term will be the ones who shape its future. 

The centerpiece panel, “Smart Monetization with AI,” featuring Sergej Loiter, Nick Tran, and Tom Schmidt, explored how AI is reshaping earning models. The unanimous consensus was that “AI is not a threat, but an equaliser. It gives creators the tools to catch up, scale up, and compete globally”. Speakers stressed that creators must think of their content as a product: audience-first, data-driven, and long-term , and urged creators to rethink platforms, using them as one huge ecosystem rather than silos. 

Nuseir Yassin (Nas Daily) delivered a masterclass on influence, credibility, and community-driven trading , mapping the state of social media monetisation. Yassin’s message was that content creation now demands both authenticity and velocity , advising creators to triple their content output with AI and localise everything to reach people’s hearts.

Day 2 continued to deliver compelling masterclasses and cultural conversations. The day opened with a live Creator House Judging Panel where top industry figures evaluated rising content creators. Panelists, including Nas Daily, Nick Tran, Nick Puckrin, and Musa Tariq judged teams on narrative originality, platform savvy, and monetization potential. This session reinforced the Campus’s mission to develop a new generation of cross-platform creators grounded in influence, integrity, and craft. 

A key highlight was an intimate Fireside Chat with Dr. Maye Musk, titled “Monetizing a Personal Brand into Durable Income”. Drawing from her decades of experience, Musk emphasized that the foundation of any lasting personal brand lies in authenticity , stating: “Stay true to yourself – why would you change?”.

Immediately following, Musk was joined by Musa Tariq, former marketing executive at Airbnb, Apple, and Nike, and Philippe Ben Mohamed, Head of Digital Innovation at Tomorrowland, for a panel on “Realising Monetization in the New Era.” The conversation explored how creators can sustainably and ethically monetize their communities. Tariq noted, “Content creators should consider themselves entrepreneurs with the opportunity of multiple streams of income” , while Mohamed emphasized a year-round strategy: “We aim to develop full 365-day plans for creators, true ecosystems, not short bursts of engagement”. He also stressed the importance of differentiation in an increasingly saturated industry.

Day 2 underscored a key truth: authenticity isn’t just an advantage, it’s essential. In a landscape shaped by AI, platform evolution, and cultural shifts, the creators who stay rooted in their identity, values, and communities will be the ones who define the next decade of influence. 

The campus closed with a cocktail reception and a gala awards ceremony, celebrating standout creators and teams for achievements in innovation, education, community-building, and cultural expression. As this year’s campus concludes, CCCC looks ahead to 2026, where the community will continue to evolve with sharper tools, stronger platforms, and more sustainable monetisation models

NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global investment and fintech powerhouse Touareg Group has announced the official launch of Touareg Group Technologies Co., capitalized with a paid-up fund of USD 1 billion. At the heart of this milestone is TrustglobeX, the Group’s flagship crypto exchange set to redefine the global digital-asset industry through unmatched liquidity, cutting-edge infrastructure, and a bold international vision.

TrustglobeX represents the cornerstone of Touareg Group’s expansion into the digital-finance frontier. Designed for both institutional and retail markets, the exchange combines deep-liquidity architecture with lightning-fast transaction speeds and a multi-chain trading environment. Its hybrid wallet system delivers instant accessibility alongside top-tier security, while its advanced analytics and intelligent order-execution engine give traders a decisive edge in fast-moving markets.

Chris Martin, Head of Financial and Strategic Investor Group at Touareg Group, described TrustglobeX as “the financial engine of a new digital economy,” emphasizing that the platform is backed by tangible capital strength and long-term commitment rather than speculation.

“This USD 1 billion investment is not symbolic — it represents our absolute determination to build a serious, world-class crypto exchange that can stand among the global leaders for decades to come,” Martin said. “Touareg Group is entering this arena with conviction, discipline, and a vision to shape the future of digital finance.”

With its billion-dollar foundation, Touareg Group Technologies Co. is setting a new benchmark for financial strength and credibility in the crypto sector. The company plans to expand TrustglobeX across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe through regional hubs that connect liquidity, foster innovation, and serve millions of users worldwide. Analysts already view TrustglobeX as one of 2025’s most anticipated global launches — a platform built not only for today’s traders but for the next generation of digital-asset pioneers.

From its financial power to its unwavering vision, TrustglobeX embodies Touareg Group’s philosophy of “Trust Without Borders,” signaling a bold step toward a smarter, faster, and more connected world of finance.

PRAGUE, Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Clapp Finance today announced the launch of its multi-collateral credit lines, offering a unique way to unlock liquidity from crypto holdings without selling them. This product provides instant, pre-approved capital with highly flexible terms, designed for modern investors who require continuous access to cash or stablecoins.

With demand for crypto-collateralized loans at a record high, Clapp’s solution offers a safer, more adaptable alternative, giving users full control, continuous liquidity, and greater peace of mind.

Why Clapp Stands Out

Users may combine up to 19 different cryptocurrencies as collateral for one or more credit lines. You can add, remove, or swap these assets even after you have drawn funds, without needing to close your line of credit.

This provides unparalleled flexibility for real-time portfolio management with access to liquidity 24/7. Future updates could also enable repayment directly from collateral.

Clapp CEO Ilya Stadnik explains: 
“People want to use their crypto as financial fuel, not just hold it — CeFi lending is up almost 150% since 2023. But it’s been stuck in the past: rigid, one-size-fits-all loans. We built multi-collateral, multi-line credit to give users real flexibility. Optimize your collateral, access funds in cash or stablecoins, and always stay in control. It’s like having a financial dashboard for your digital wealth.”

Key Features & Benefits

• Multi-collateral: Combine multiple cryptocurrencies as collateral and actively manage them — swap, add, or remove — without closing your credit line.
• Multi-line: Run several credit lines at once.
• Instant liquidity: Receive pre-approved funds 24/7 in EUR (via SEPA) or stablecoins (USDT/USDC).
• Pay-as-you-use interest: Pay interest solely on the capital you withdraw.
• Flexible repayment: Pay back what you want, when you want. No fixed schedules.
• Integrated Wallet & Exchange: A unified platform to manage your portfolio, exchange, and credit lines seamlessly.

Ready to unlock the full potential of your portfolio? Activate your Clapp crypto credit line today and experience financial agility without compromise.

About Clapp Finance

Clapp is an EU-based fintech company founded in 2025, providing an all-in-one platform for crypto management. With its integrated wallet, exchange, portfolios, and multi-collateral credit lines, Clapp fuses CeFi and DeFi via powerful and intuitive financial tools, serving users in 130+ countries.

• Spot trading volume up 122%, driven by stronger liquidity and user engagement
• Futures trading volume increased 26% year-on-year
• 99.999% uptime maintained through major system upgrades
• Complete rebrand reinforcing Phemex’s user-first mission

APIA, Samoa, Nov. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Phemex, a user-first crypto exchange, celebrates its 6th anniversary with the campaign theme “Future With U”. The milestone follows a defining year of transformation — from a full-scale rebrand to record-breaking user growth and strengthened platform security — symbolizing Phemex’s evolution into a forward-looking, resilient, and human-centered brand.

2025: A Year of Resilience and Growth

The year 2025 was pivotal for Phemex. In response to shifting market conditions and internal operational challenges, the exchange conducted a comprehensive system overhaul to strengthen its technical and security foundation. Upgrades included multi-layer wallet protection, AI-driven monitoring, and enhanced disaster recovery mechanisms — all implemented while maintaining 99.999% uptime.

This renewed infrastructure laid the groundwork for strong business performance. Global user numbers surged by 66%, spot trading volume more than doubled with a 122% increase, and futures trading rose 26% year-on-year. These achievements reflect Phemex’s ability to convert resilience into growth, reinforcing its position as one of the most trusted and efficient exchanges in the industry.

Rebranding for the Future: “For You. For Tomorrow.”

This anniversary also follows Phemex’s comprehensive rebrand. The rebrand defined what Phemex stands for — an efficient, transparent, and forward-thinking platform that empowers users through smarter financial freedom. The refreshed identity, visual language, and storytelling approach connect the brand more deeply with traders worldwide.

“Future With U”: A Campaign About Shared Progress

The anniversary campaign celebrates six years of co-creation between Phemex and its community. It highlights how user feedback has continuously shaped the platform’s innovation — from multi-asset trading to on-chain earning tools — and looks ahead to new initiatives that will make digital finance even more efficient and inclusive.

2026: Building Forward, Together

As Phemex moves into 2026, the exchange remains steadfast in strengthening the foundation of its infrastructure. The coming year will see continued investment in security innovation. Phemex will further enhance overall user experience, system scalability and reliability, ensuring peak performance and near-zero downtime even amid surging global trading activity.

Beyond infrastructure, Phemex aims to expand its ecosystem through product innovation and brand development. In 2026, the company will refine its core offerings — spot, futures, copy trading, and earn — while integrating more on-chain tools and cross-asset management features. At the brand level, Phemex will continue strengthening its presence through localized campaigns, educational content, and community engagement, bringing its user-first philosophy to markets worldwide.

Federico Variola, CEO of Phemex, commented: “Our journey this year reaffirmed a core principle: true resilience is engineered, not inherited. We made a strategic decision to treat every challenge as a catalyst. This internal transformation, mirrored by our external rebrand, was the bedrock upon which we achieved record growth. Our ‘Future With U’ is not just a theme — it’s our operational blueprint, signifying that our greatest innovations will continue to emerge from solving real user problems with institutional-grade reliability.”

Looking Ahead: The Story Continues

Six years in, Phemex stands at a new starting line. The rebrand and anniversary together signal more than milestones — they mark the beginning of a broader movement toward a more inclusive, intelligent, and human crypto future. With upcoming campaigns and celebrations throughout the season, Phemex invites its global community to join in shaping what comes next.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SGX Derivatives is rewriting the rules of institutional crypto trading with the launch of Bitcoin and Ethereum perpetual futures. This landmark initiative brings the discipline, trust and transparency of global financial markets to crypto’s most dynamic products, setting a new standard for the industry.  

Launching on 24 November 2025, these innovative contracts provide a continuous, no-expiry structure favoured by crypto-native communities, combined with the robust clearing and margining standards of listed derivatives. With this launch, investors[1] can access institutional-grade crypto perpetual futures within a regulated, exchange-cleared framework – marking a major step forward in bridging traditional finance and digital asset markets.

A Game-Changer for Crypto Markets

Perpetual futures account for more than US$187 billion[2] in daily average volumes globally, with Asia at the epicentre of this growth. Yet these flows remain largely priced off and settled on offshore platforms outside of Asia. By bringing these flows on-exchange, SGX will enable institutions to trade and gain exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum with confidence and scale.  

Michael Syn, President, SGX Group, said, “Digital assets have made their way into institutional investors’ portfolio. We have taken the next logical and deliberate step – applying the same institutional discipline that underpins global markets to crypto’s most traded pay-off. By bringing the perpetuals into an exchange-cleared, regulated framework, we offer institutions the trust and scalability they have been waiting for.”

The crypto perpetual contracts are benchmarked to iEdge CoinDesk Crypto Indices[3], aligning price discovery with institutional-grade benchmarks widely recognised across the industry.

Andy Baehr, Head of Product and Research, CoinDesk Indices, said, “More than two-thirds of all crypto trading is in derivatives, and perpetual futures offer unique features and benefits that have made them a favourite. We are excited to see SGX Derivatives bring perpetual futures onshore with traditional margining and clearing and are delighted to support the benchmark rate for this innovative contract.”

Industry Welcomes Move to Expand institutional Access

The launch has drawn encouraging feedback from market participants who view this as a timely and strategic step in advancing access to crypto markets which have become increasingly mainstream.

Leonard Hoh, General Manager, Bitstamp by Robinhood – Asia Pacific, said, “This launch is reflective of how market infrastructure and participation are evolving, and it is exciting to see a Singapore-anchored benchmark to reflect the liquidity we see in Asia. This is an important step for institutions to trade at scale, and we are proud to partner with SGX to provide connectivity to the global crypto ecosystem.”

Patrick Yeo, Head of Digital Assets, Global Financial Markets, DBS Bank, said, “Crypto perpetuals offer institutional traders enhanced precision and capital efficiency when managing their digital asset portfolios as compared to spot trading. In addition, clearing and margining these derivatives under the same standards as traditional instruments paves the way for broader adoption, and marks a new milestone in the growing maturation of the digital asset ecosystem. DBS is pleased to support SGX’s launch as a member of its cryptocurrency index committee, and we are committed to sharing our expertise and insights as a pioneer in this space to foster a robust and responsible digital asset ecosystem in Singapore.”

Joseph Chang, Co-Founder and CEO, Liquibit Capital, said, “We are excited to support SGX’s crypto perpetual futures launch, a key step in bringing regulated liquidity to Asia’s growing digital asset markets. Exceptional performance begins with robust risk management, and SGX’s move delivers exactly that.”

CJ Fong, APAC General Manager, GSR, said, “Institutional-grade perpetual futures are a critical milestone in the evolution of crypto markets. By combining SGX’s global credibility with crypto-native innovation, we are creating the foundation for scaled, regulated participation in digital assets.”

Gracie Lin, CEO, OKX Singapore, said, “We have seen growing demand for regionally anchored benchmarks, especially as institutions look to integrate crypto exposure alongside other asset classes. It is a natural step in Singapore’s market evolution, and this deeper reference point adds transparency and confidence for institutional participants, helping to support long-term growth of the ecosystem.”

Melvin Deng, CEO, QCP, said, “SGX’s entry into perpetual futures is a defining moment for Asia digital asset markets. Institutional participants have long sought a regulated venue that combines the familiarity of traditional market infrastructure with the innovation of crypto-native products. This launch highlights the innovative approach from SGX to encourage global investors to engage in digital assets in Singapore.”

Ramesh Arumugam, Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Virtu Financial, said, “Centrally cleared cryptocurrency perpetual futures enhance the foundation for market liquidity, directly drawing from our existing daily flows. This infrastructure aids price discovery and execution, fundamentally boosting our capacity and ability to confidently quote to institutional counterparties.”

Disrupting pharmacy payments with ETH, SOL, and XRP acceptance nationwide; online rollout set for Jan. 1, 2026.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Invictus Pharmacy, a pharmacist-founded and nationally licensed pharmacy network, announced today that it will begin accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment from patients. This milestone makes Invictus Pharmacy the first nationwide licensed pharmacy to embrace digital assets as part of its patient payment infrastructure.

Beginning immediately, cryptocurrency payments including Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP (Ripple) will be accepted at all Invictus Pharmacy retail locations. Starting January 1, 2026, patients will also be able to utilize these digital payment options through the company’s online platform at InvictusPharmacy.com.

Key Benefits of Invictus Pharmacy’s acceptance of cryptocurrency include:

• Enhanced Security: Blockchain technology provides a secure and transparent platform for all transactions, reducing the risk of fraud.
• Faster Transactions: Cryptocurrency transactions are typically faster than traditional payment methods, allowing for quicker processing of prescriptions.
• Increased Accessibility: Accepting cryptocurrency opens up access to pharmaceutical services for younger demographics who prefer or are comfortable using digital currencies.
• Transparency: Every transaction is recorded on the blockchain, creating a transparent and auditable trail.

Pioneering Transparency in the Pharmaceutical Payment System

This initiative represents the first phase of a larger technological movement led by Invictus Ventures Inc., the management company of Invictus Pharmacy. Invictus Ventures is developing a blockchain-based payment infrastructure designed specifically for the U.S. prescription drug market. The platform will facilitate instant, transparent, and auditable transactions between payers, manufacturers, pharmacies, and patients.

By accepting cryptocurrency payments, Invictus Pharmacy is also embracing the next generation of American consumers who are more comfortable and familiar with digital assets and alternative payment methods. This forward-looking approach reflects Invictus’s commitment to modernizing the pharmacy experience, meeting patients where they are, and fostering financial accessibility through innovation.

By leveraging the power of blockchain technology, Invictus aims to eliminate the administrative lag and opacity that define today’s pharmacy benefit model, replacing it with a real-time, programmable payment system that benefits every stakeholder in the chain.

“Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) were invented before the era of the internet to combat rising drug prices in the 1970s,” said Meyer Davidoff, Founder and CEO of Invictus Pharmacy. “While their original purpose was to negotiate fair pricing and streamline reimbursements, PBMs have since evolved into powerful intermediaries that obscure true drug costs, delay payments to pharmacies, and inflate prices for patients. The system has become a labyrinth of rebates, clawbacks, and opaque contracts that benefit middlemen rather than patients or providers.

Today, PBMs act as central toll collectors in a system that should be moving toward openness and modern technology. Accepting cryptocurrency is more than offering another way to pay. It is the first step toward building a faster and more transparent payment network that links patients, pharmacies, and manufacturers with far fewer barriers. This is the future of pharmacy, a system where information and payments move quickly, clearly, and efficiently for everyone.”

“For our patients, using cryptocurrency will feel just as simple as paying with a smartphone or credit card,” said Alan Oustaev, Chief Operating Officer of Invictus Pharmacy. “Our goal is to make the experience seamless both in-store and online, giving patients more choice and convenience while we modernize how prescription payments are made.”

An Open Call to Industry Partners

Invictus Pharmacy Founder and CEO Meyer Davidoff is encouraging trading partners throughout the pharmaceutical supply chain, including drug manufacturers, wholesalers, and payers, to begin adding cryptocurrency to their balance sheets and to explore digital asset integration within their financial infrastructure.

“This is the first step of our grand vision to revolutionize the archaic payment system within our industry,” said Davidoff. “We are actively building an additional blockchain-based payment rail upon which all stakeholders, from manufacturers to patients, will transact seamlessly and transparently.”

This forthcoming network, being developed under Invictus Ventures, will serve as a digital settlement layer for prescription transactions, enabling instant fund transfers, automated rebate validation, and frictionless reimbursement flows. Once fully deployed, the system is expected to reduce claim processing times from weeks to seconds, setting a new benchmark for efficiency in U.S. healthcare payments.

About Invictus Pharmacy

Invictus Pharmacy, managed by New York–based Invictus Ventures Inc., is a vertically integrated, nationwide pharmacy platform founded in 2017. With a network of retail locations, a licensed mail-order pharmacy, a proprietary e-commerce platform, and claims adjudication technology, Invictus has served more than one million patients. Invictus was among the first pharmacy organizations to adopt a Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) model for its manufacturing partners, enabling brands to reach patients directly while bypassing traditional intermediaries. By partnering directly with manufacturers to offer direct-to-consumer pricing and adding cryptocurrency payment options with blockchain-enabled claims transparency, Invictus lowers costs, expands access, and advances a next-generation pharmacy model.

APIA, Samoa, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Phemex today announced the completion of its full rebrand, unveiling a renewed identity and positioning as “A User-First Crypto Exchange”. This transformation marks a new chapter in the company’s evolution from a high-performance trading venue to a comprehensive digital asset ecosystem built on trust, access, and purpose.

At the center of the rebrand is the new tagline — “For You. For Tomorrow”. It captures Phemex’s dual commitment: its user-first philosophy of building for traders’ needs and growth, and its forward-looking DNA for innovation and progress. Phemex’s updated vision, “Freedom Through Finance”, emphasizes the belief that true independence begins with financial empowerment. Its mission focuses on creating a secure, transparent, and inclusive platform that enables users to learn, trade, and invest with confidence.

The decision to rebrand follows six years of rapid growth and diversification. As the platform expanded from derivatives into spot trading, copy trading, and wealth management, Phemex recognized the need for an identity that reflects its broader purpose and maturing user community.

“This rebrand marks a defining moment for Phemex,” said Federico Variola, CEO of Phemex. “It is a reflection of who we are and what we stand for. We’ve always been forward-thinking at our core, but as we continue to grow, our focus has become even clearer: to put users first in everything we do.” He continued, “This new identity was developed through deep research and collaboration across teams and global users. It embodies our DNA — a platform that blends institutional-grade reliability with a genuinely user-centric mindset. We are not just adapting to the future of crypto; we are building it for our users.”

The timing of this rebrand is deliberate. As Phemex approaches its sixth anniversary, it celebrates past achievements while opening a new chapter for the company. Following a series of recent platform and visual upgrades, the rebrand unifies Phemex’s direction and vision for the next phase of growth. It also paves the way for the upcoming sixth anniversary integrated marketing campaign, which will bring the new brand message to life across global markets through creative storytelling, partnerships, and user engagement.

Earth Version 2 is set on a newly discovered planet where human explorers uncover remnants of an advanced alien civilization. The game mixes shooter mechanics and progression-based play with class roles and customizable gear. By focusing on high-visual fidelity and intensive combat, Funtico aims to deliver a gaming experience aligned with mainstream titles rather than the typical browser-based Web3 model.

The project arrives at a moment of meaningful growth for the Web3 gaming category. Major publishers and investors have increasingly turned their attention toward decentralized platforms, where digital asset ownership and player-driven economies become more relevant to how games monetize and retain communities.

EV2 builds upon this shift by enabling players to own their in-game progress – but without requiring prior blockchain knowledge. A streamlined login process, traditional store listings, and multi-currency checkout support are intended to meet gamers where they already play, instead of pushing them into crypto-native flows.

EV2 introduces five playable classes – Brute, Cloaker, Mag, Pathfinder, and Valkyrie – that offer distinct combat roles ranging from tanking to stealth, support, and tactical drone deployment. Battles take place across multiple modes. Oblivion centers on team-based combat within a shrinking map, while Fracture is a 25-player free-for-all where everyone is hunting for glowing cubes. Players must collect two of each color to reveal a secret relic, but dying resets their progress.

The rollout of EV2 follows a detailed timeline, starting with gameplay testing and presale onboarding which is currently underway. Partnership activity and additional ecosystem development are planned for Q1 2026 and the full launch and token generation event will take place in Q2, followed by tournaments, seasonal content, and integration of limited-edition digital asset bundles available to presale participants.

Following earlier titles released on Avalanche, the $EV2 token will be issued on Ethereum. The move positions EV2 within one of the most active trading ecosystems, maximizing liquidity and reach ahead of launch. The game is scheduled for release on PC through Funtico, Steam, and the Epic Games Store, with console support planned at a later stage.

The EV2 presale is now live at https://ev2.funtico.com/

About EV2

Developed by Funtico, Earth Version 2 (EV2) is an MMORPG powered by the $EV2 token in which character actions and core features are recorded onchain. The Web3 game, which fuses blockchain features such as true player ownership with seamless onboarding, is set in a cosmic battlefield where alien invasion threatens humanity. Players must gather alien tech, build their personalized EV2 suit, and face the invaders head-on. Skill-based PvE modes and tournaments enable players to compete for collectibles while fighting to save humanity.

APIA, Samoa, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Phemex, one of the most efficient crypto exchanges, unveiled a refreshed logo and upgraded platform design, marking the beginning of its broader rebranding journey. The new visual identity mirrors Phemex’s ongoing evolution from a high-performance trading venue into a comprehensive digital asset platform, uniting speed, precision, and user-centric simplicity under one cohesive aesthetic.

Key Visual Enhancements

• New Logo Design: Phemex’s new logo evolves into a dynamic two-candle composition — a minimalist form symbolizing growth, movement, and upward momentum. The twin lines also convey balance, continuity, and duality between performance and reliability.
• Refined Gradient Palette: The updated color gradient transitions from deep green, representing stability and trust, to bright blue, expressing innovation and forward energy. This one-of-a-kind spectrum reinforces the brand’s association with prosperity and progress.
• Refined Typography: Letterforms are now built on a distinct geometric foundation, moving away from softer curves to stronger, more squared edges. This precision-engineered wordmark conveys a heightened sense of reliability and architectural integrity.
• Modernized Platform Interface: Updated 3D visuals, a unified icon system, and lightweight layouts enhance usability and focus, offering traders a cleaner, more intuitive environment across both desktop and mobile.

This marks the third logo in Phemex’s history. The original design was inspired by the laurel crown of the Greek goddess Pheme — a symbol of victory and prestige.

“Our new logo and platform design embody what Phemex stands for today — precision, performance, and progress,” said Federico Variola, CEO of Phemex. “This redesign is not merely aesthetic; it reflects the mindset that has always defined Phemex — building for the future while staying true to our core of efficiency and reliability. As we evolve, we continue to provide an environment where traders can act with clarity and confidence.”

This visual refresh marks the foundation of a broader rebranding initiative that Phemex will roll out in the coming weeks. The company plans to introduce a new house of brands and a unified identity system that reflects its long-term vision — to redefine what efficiency and trust mean in the future of digital finance.

About Phemex

Founded in 2019, Phemex is the most efficient crypto exchange trusted by over 6 million traders worldwide. The platform offers spot and derivatives trading, copy trading, and wealth management products that combine seamless functionality with institutional-grade security.

Every spin, click, and decision inside an online casino leaves a trace. Not just in results, but in rhythm, a constant stream of information moving behind the scenes. This flow of data is what keeps the digital tables turning smoothly. It’s the quiet machinery that helps platforms understand how games perform, how players move, and how to keep everything running in sync.

In today’s most refined casino platforms, data is more than just numbers. It’s movement. It flows in real time, tracking everything from spin speed to loading times, helping developers adjust the balance between design and performance. Platforms like JackpotCity have built their reputation on this kind of responsiveness, using analytics to make every second of play feel fluid and uninterrupted. Players might not see it, but they feel it every time they log in.

Behind the Curtain of Flow

Every moment inside an online casino is measured, not for surveillance, but for improvement. When a player presses spin, data starts moving immediately. The system records how fast the animation runs, how the reels respond, and whether the page keeps its rhythm across different devices. All of this happens in milliseconds. You can see this precision at work in leading online casinos, where data helps maintain steady motion, fast response times, and gameplay that feels natural no matter the device.

That real-time feedback allows developers to spot small issues before they turn into interruptions. If a feature drags or a button feels slow, analytics capture it instantly. This is where data flow becomes more than maintenance; it becomes design. By reading how players move and react, engineers can tune the game’s tempo, fix timing issues, and even adjust the soundscape to keep the flow intact.

The Rhythm of Decision

Online casinos operate like living systems. Each player adds a new pattern to the data, shaping how the platform evolves. Real-time analytics trace the small patterns that players leave behind – the pauses between spins, the moments they linger, the games they come back to. Each of those details adds to a bigger picture, a kind of quiet rhythm that helps developers fine-tune the experience until everything feels just right.

It’s less about prediction and more about responsiveness. A well-run platform listens as much as it performs. If too many players drop off after a certain screen or feature, the system catches it and flags it for review. Over time, this process builds a more natural kind of balance between user behavior and design intent.

Keeping the Flow Alive

The best casino experiences don’t happen by accident. They’re built on data that moves constantly with small signals sent from players to servers and back again, all within fractions of a second. This ongoing conversation is what keeps everything feeling seamless.

Platforms like JackpotCity have turned this flow into part of their identity. The games stay fast, the visuals stay clean, and the transitions always feel right. It’s the result of a loop that never really stops; a quiet exchange between data and design that keeps the whole system breathing.

In the end, real-time analytics are about more than performance. They keep the rhythm alive, that quiet pulse running underneath every moment of play. It’s what makes each spin feel connected, each click feel right, and every game move with a flow that feels natural and real.

DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mantle, the high-performance distribution and liquidity layer for real-world assets (RWAs), together with Bybit and Backed, today announced its strategic collaboration to bring tokenized U.S. equities onchain through xStocks, enabling 24/7 access to leading global assets directly within the Mantle ecosystem.

Through xStocks, users can gain exposure to tokenized versions of leading equities such as NVDAx, AAPLx, and MSTRx, seamlessly connecting traditional financial assets with the composability of decentralized finance. The collaboration combines Mantle’s scalable blockchain infrastructure, Bybit’s global exchange liquidity, and Backed’s regulated tokenization framework to deliver a fully onchain experience for traditional markets.

Seamless Integration Between CEX and DeFi

At launch, Bybit will provide full support for deposits and withdrawals of xStocks via Mantle, allowing users to move assets between Bybit and Mantle Network efficiently and securely. This direct CEX-to-chain bridge simplifies onboarding, drives liquidity, and opens new opportunities for both users and developers to engage with tokenized markets.

xStocks tokens, issued by Backed in partnership with regulated custodians, are fully backed 1:1 by their underlying securities. Each token mirrors a specific equity or treasury asset, offering transparent, verifiable, and programmable exposure to leading global companies.

“Tokenized equities are redefining how traditional markets interact with blockchain technology,” said Emily Bao, Head of Spot at Bybit. “Bybit is proud to support Mantle’s vision of creating a unified, scalable platform where real-world assets can thrive onchain, delivering accessible and innovative financial solutions to a global audience.”

Building the Infrastructure for Onchain Capital Markets

This integration marks a major milestone for Mantle, Ethereum’s largest ZK proof-powered L2 network. Combining a modular architecture, advanced data availability layer, and low-fee environment, Mantle enables secure, scalable and cost-efficient access to tokenized equities, seamlessly converging TradFi, CeFi and DeFi within a unified onchain framework.

On Mantle, tokenized equities are more than digital representations, they become programmable financial primitives. Builders and developers can leverage these assets to design innovative instruments, integrate real-world and crypto assets into automated strategies, and optimize capital efficiency across ecosystems.

“With Mantle’s modular architecture, premium technology stack, and Ethereum-grade security, combined with Bybit’s infrastructure and reach, tokenized equities are set to become a foundational building block for the next wave of onchain finance,” said Emily Bao, Key Advisor at Mantle. “xStocks represents a pivotal step in turning traditional assets into composable building blocks that scale across Mantle’s ecosystem and power the decentralized economy.”

“It takes more than tokenization to bridge TradFi and DeFi; you need infrastructure and distribution,” added David Henderson, Head of Growth at Backed. “Beyond accessibility, xStocks are built for composability. Together with Mantle and Bybit, we’re building the onchain economy to not only absorb capital markets but improve them.”

Driving Mantle’s Broader RWA Momentum

This collaboration builds on Bybit’s continued support for Mantle’s expanding RWA ecosystem, following recent initiatives such as:

• Anchorage integration, providing institutional-grade custody for $MNT to expand global access.
• Moomoo Exchange listing, bringing $MNT to U.S. retail investors alongside stocks, ETFs, and crypto.
• Tokenization-as-a-Service (TaaS), offering institutions a compliant, end-to-end framework to tokenize and scale real-world assets on Mantle.
• RWA Hackathons & Scholarships launch, fostering innovation and empowering talent pipelines to accelerate compliant tokenization and institutional adoption.

Advancing Mantle’s Vision for Tokenized Markets

As Mantle continues building the premier liquidity and distribution layer for tokenized assets, this initiative aligns with Mantle’s broader roadmap to expand RWA integrations, unlocking new capital efficiencies and composable DeFi strategies across its ecosystem.

The collaboration reinforces Mantle’s commitment to enabling open, secure, and scalable access to tokenized assets, paving the way for broader participation in the trillion-dollar global capital markets through blockchain technology.

xStocks are not available in the U.S. or to U.S. citizens. Geographic restrictions apply.

About Mantle

Mantle positions itself as the premier distribution layer and gateway for institutions and TradFi to connect with onchain liquidity and access real-world assets, powering how real-world finance flows.

The ecosystem is anchored by $MNT within Bybit, and built out through core ecosystem projects like mETH, fBTC, MI4 and more.

HONG KONG, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG) today released a letter to shareholders at the one-year milestone of its bold transformation to a robust Bitcoin mining operation. CEO Paul Yu reflected on this milestone, emphasizing Cango’s vision to deliver energy-secured HPC services. The journey began in November 2024 with Bitcoin mining as a practical entry point to secure energy access, build operational expertise, and create flexible sites for long-term goals.

In just eight months, Cango scaled to a 50 EH/s global platform by acquiring 32 EH/s of on-rack mining machines in November 2024, followed by 18 EH/s in June 2025. The company divested its China-based assets by May 2025, redirecting resources to its mining operations. A new Board and management team with expertise in digital assets, finance, and energy was onboarded to guide this ambitious transition.

The financial impact was swift. In Q2 2025, Cango reported US$139.8 million in revenue, US$99.1 million in adjusted EBITDA , and US$117.8 million in cash equivalents, driven by an asset-light model focused on operational efficiency. Cango established a new, highly competitive core business, and a scaled global footprint across the U.S., Oman, Ethiopia, and Paraguay.

This year’s momentum continued with key milestones. In August 2025, Cango acquired a 50 MW facility in Georgia for US$19.5 million, strengthening operational control and securing better power terms. Hashrate efficiency surpassed 90%, and Bitcoin holdings grew to over 6,400 BTC by October 31, 2025, through a disciplined HODL strategy. To enhance capital structure, Cango will transition to a direct NYSE listing on November 17, 2025.

Looking ahead, Paul shared that Cango’s Bitcoin mining foundation will fuel a dual-track expansion into energy and HPC. The company plans disciplined, phased pilots, a targeted entry into the AI HPC market, and dual-purpose energy infrastructure development, while optimizing mining operations through improved uptime, lower energy costs, and refreshing 6 EH/s of capacity.

“We are standing at the threshold of a new technological frontier, where the convergence of energy and HPC will power the next era of compute. ” Paul said. “With the resilient foundation we have built, a world-class team, and a clear, disciplined strategy, we are confident in our ability to not only navigate this future but to help shape it, creating lasting value for our shareholders and partners.”

How to Use Bitcoin for Purchases and Payments for Services: New Ways to Use Cryptocurrency

Let’s explore how Bitcoin can easily integrate into your life, releasing a world of unending financial possibilities.

Paying with Bitcoin

Forget holding onto your Bitcoin until the moon – the future of this digital gold is in your daily transactions. 

• Gift cards and prepaid options: Several companies offer crypto/Bitcoin-funded gift cards for popular retailers like Amazon, Starbucks, and even airlines.

• Peer-to-peer payments: Apps like Fold and Cash App let you send and receive Bitcoin instantly from friends and family, similar to Venmo or PayPal.
• Bill payments: Services like BitPay and Coinify allow you to pay your utility bills, phone bills, and even taxes with Bitcoin.
• Invest in DeFi (Decentralized Finance): Platforms like Aave and Compound allow you to lend your Bitcoin and earn interest, similar to a traditional savings account. 

This barely-tapped potential of Bitcoin allows you to easily integrate it into your everyday life.

Pros and Cons of Cryptocurrency Payments 

We will look at the main advantages and disadvantages of accepting cryptocurrency payments:

Advantages of cryptocurrency as a payment option:

Using cryptocurrencies as a form of payment has been greeted by optimism, and the reason for the optimism hasn’t been far from the following features below:

• Lightning-fast transaction speed: Cryptocurrency transactions are settled instantaneously, easing cash flow management and improving customer satisfaction.
• Reduced transaction costs: Cryptocurrency bypasses intermediaries, potentially enabling lower transaction costs, which can benefit both parties and improve market competitiveness.
• Expanded global reach: Businesses can accept payments from customers across the globe, regardless by of their currency or banking system.
• Tech-savvy appeal: Embracing cryptocurrency can attract a tech-savvy customer base who values efficiency and cutting-edge solutions.

Overall, cryptocurrency payments present a captivating crossroads for businesses – a path paved with the potential for faster, cheaper, and borderless transactions.

Limitations to cryptocurrency payment adoption:

Like every payment model, making payments with cryptocurrencies has its setbacks, and it will be a disservice if we didn’t point them out like we did below:

• Price volatility: Prices can fluctuate significantly, impacting the immediate worth of received payments.
• Technological infrastructure: Choosing a reputable and secure cryptocurrency payment provider with a robust infrastructure and reliable customer support is crucial to mitigate such risks.
• Limited adoption rate: Cryptocurrency usage is still evolving, and not all potential customers may be comfortable or equipped to use it for transactions..

Integrating cryptocurrency payments presents a unique opportunity for businesses to optimize their financial operations and attract a tech-savvy customer base.
