    PrimeXBT Expands Crypto Futures with 40 New Crypto Assets

    Castries, Saint Lucia, January 14th, 2026, Chainwire

    PrimeXBT, a leading global crypto and CFD broker, has listed 40 new crypto futures trading pairs, significantly expanding its asset coverage across high-demand segments including AI, Layer-1 and Layer-2 networks, DeFi, Infrastructure, Meme tokens, NFT, Metaverse, and Payments. The expansion is part of the company’s ongoing commitment to provide traders with deeper market access, better liquidity, and cost-efficient trading conditions.

    The newly added markets include a curated selection of highly traded coins and tokens such as CELO, DASH, DYDX, EIGEN, SNX, ZK, ZRO, and emerging community and meme-driven assets. This batch also introduces several trending tokens, including HYPE and PUMP, now available for futures trading.

    The new crypto futures come with 100–150x maximum leverage across most pairs, while ETH/BTC offers up to 400x leverage, among the highest available in the industry. Traders can also benefit from higher maximum order sizes in markets with strong liquidity, enabling more flexible position management. Most instruments are USDT-margined, and each coin has been added based on market liquidity and clear trader demand, supporting deeper books, tighter execution, and more efficient trading conditions.

    As part of the launch, PrimeXBT is also expanding its zero-fee offering, introducing new opportunities on popular pairs such as FLOW, KAIA, EGLD, RUNE, GALA, BOME, and others. This update complements the platform’s existing roster of cost-efficient markets and supports high-frequency and cost-sensitive traders.

    PrimeXBT stated that recent volatility has shown how quickly new narratives emerge in the crypto market, making timely access to new opportunities essential the moment they gain momentum. In conditions like these, cost efficiency becomes even more important. The broker added that it remains focused on creating an environment where traders can turn fast-moving trends into long-term growth.

  • Fors Launches Beta to Aggregate Prediction Markets Across Solana Ecosystem

    Fors Launches Beta to Aggregate Prediction Markets Across Solana Ecosystem

    Be’er Sheva, Israel, January 13th, 2026, Chainwire

     

    Fors, a prediction market aggregation platform built on Solana, today announced the release of its beta version, designed to address fragmentation and inefficiencies across modern prediction markets.

    Prediction markets covering multiple categories, including politics, sports, macroeconomic events, cryptocurrencies, and global developments, have expanded rapidly in recent years. However, market data, liquidity, and pricing remain fragmented across isolated platforms, making it difficult for participants to compare outcomes and identify inefficiencies efficiently.

    Fors addresses this challenge by aggregating multiple prediction venues into a single, unified interface. The platform normalizes probabilities, pricing, and liquidity, allowing users to compare identical outcomes side by side across different markets.

    Built on Solana, Fors leverages high-performance infrastructure to support real-time aggregation and low-latency data processing. The platform is also developing smart order routing capabilities designed to direct trades toward the most favorable venue based on price, liquidity, and execution conditions, while maintaining transparency and user control.

    One of the core benefits of aggregation is improved visibility into cross-market price differences. By presenting pricing disparities across venues, Fors enables users to identify arbitrage opportunities that may exist due to fragmented liquidity and inconsistent market pricing.

    In addition to aggregation and execution optimization, the beta release introduces copy trading functionality adapted for prediction markets. Users can follow experienced participants across aggregated venues, supported by transparent performance metrics, historical analytics, and configurable risk controls. A built-in demo practice mode allows users to test copy trading strategies without committing real capital.

    Fors operates with a non-custodial design, ensuring users retain ownership of their funds while interacting with multiple prediction markets through a single interface.

    The January 8 beta launch represents an early step in Fors’s broader vision to provide infrastructure-level tools as prediction markets continue to mature.

    About Fors

    Fors was created to solve the fragmentation and inefficiencies in modern prediction markets. Built on Solana, the platform aggregates multiple prediction venues into a single, transparent interface. Fors focuses on fairness, neutrality, and data integrity, allowing users to compare markets without bias. Its mission is to make prediction markets accessible, efficient, and professional-grade. With features such as real-time aggregation, smart order routing, arbitrage visibility, and copy trading with demo practice, Fors has attracted strong early adoption and is helping shape the next generation of prediction market infrastructure.

  • Taisu Ventures and Keio FinTEK Center Launch Keio ChainHack 2026 Focused on Web3 Innovation

    Taisu Ventures and Keio FinTEK Center Launch Keio ChainHack 2026 Focused on Web3 Innovation

    Singapore, Singapore, January 5th, 2026, Chainwire

    Taisu Ventures, a global Web3 venture capital firm, today announced Keio ChainHack 2026, a one-day pitch and hackathon co-hosted with the Keio FinTEK Center. The event forms part of Taisu Ventures’ broader initiative to support early-stage builders working at the intersection of blockchain infrastructure, regulation, and real-world adoption.

    Keio ChainHack 2026 will bring together students, founders, academics, and investors to explore practical applications of blockchain technology and on-chain economic systems. Participation and attendance details are available at https://luma.com/e0pbv2og.

    Alongside the event announcement, Taisu Ventures highlighted several portfolio companies that reflect a broader industry trend toward rebuilding real industries on-chain by addressing structural gaps that traditional systems have not solved.

    Helix: Building Institutional RWA and Stablecoin Infrastructure

    Helix was founded to address a core challenge facing financial institutions exploring blockchain adoption: while demand for tokenized assets and on-chain money flows exists, the institutional infrastructure required to support compliant issuance, custody, reporting, and distribution has historically been fragmented.

    Through partnerships with banks, fintechs, and regulated originators, Helix has evolved into a unified orchestration layer spanning structuring, issuance, tokenization, and distribution of real-world assets (RWAs). The platform has been validated through initiatives such as a Malaysia tokenization whitepaper with Kenanga and Saison Capital, Shariah-compliant invoice financing with SILQFi, and a LATAM private credit pipeline via AmFi.

    “Taisu doesn’t just invest; they show up, think with us, and connect us with partners who matter,” the Helix team said. “Their support has been essential to our momentum, and to making our pivot possible.”

    Lofty: Expanding Access to Real Estate Ownership

    Lofty was founded on the insight that real estate investors often face barriers to access rather than a lack of information. After initially developing an AI-driven analytics platform, the company pivoted toward building a blockchain-based real estate exchange that enables fractional ownership and continuous trading of properties.

    To deliver this model, Lofty has integrated multiple parts of the real estate value chain, including sourcing, underwriting, transaction execution, and property management. The company is now focused on enabling on-platform leverage through fractional property-backed lending, with the goal of replicating mortgage-driven economics in an on-chain environment.

    “Taisu proactively reaches out, asks how they can help, and connects us with the right partners,” said Lofty CEO Jerry Chu. “It’s the kind of support most investors promise, but very few actually deliver.”

    Pruv: Unlocking a Licensed RWA Pathway in Indonesia

    Pruv emerged from founder Chung Ying Lai’s experience building digital asset infrastructure during the early growth of Southeast Asia’s crypto markets. After multiple market cycles, the team identified the lack of yield-bearing, regulated assets as a key source of instability.

    Indonesia offered a unique opportunity, with regulators developing a digital-asset-specific framework separate from traditional securities law. After more than two years of regulatory engagement, Pruv has received formal approval to operate as Indonesia’s first licensed platform for permissionless real-world asset (RWA) issuance. The company now utilizes a hybrid blockchain architecture and facilitates cross-chain asset integration in collaboration with regulated asset managers.

    “Taisu has been one of the most engaged partners we work with, consistently proactive, accessible, and willing to support us in ways that go far beyond capital,” said Chung Ying Lai.

    Strengthening the Builder Ecosystem

    According to Taisu Ventures, Keio ChainHack 2026 reflects the firm’s broader strategy of supporting founders beyond capital by fostering early experimentation, talent development, and collaboration between academia and industry through specialized research and innovation centers such as the Keio FinTEK Center.

    About Taisu Ventures

    Taisu Ventures is a global Web3 venture capital firm with over 120 early-stage investments across Infrastructure, DeFi, AI/DePIN, IP & Entertainment, and User Platforms. The firm partners with founders building technically complex and regulated blockchain systems and actively supports the ecosystem through events, founder forums, and academic-industry collaborations, including Keio ChainHack 2026, co-hosted with the Keio FinTEK Center (https://luma.com/e0pbv2og).

  • $GRANT Is Live: GrantiX Lists on BitMart and BingX After Successful IDOs

    $GRANT Is Live: GrantiX Lists on BitMart and BingX After Successful IDOs

    Dubai, United Arab Emirates, December 19th, 2025, Chainwire

    GrantiX, an AI-powered SocialFi platform bringing impact investing on-chain, today announced the launch of its $GRANT token following a Token Generation Event and multiple sold-out IDOs. The token is now live and listed on BitMart and BingX, expanding global access to the GrantiX ecosystem.

    $GRANT serves as the utility and governance token for GrantiX, which connects blockchain donors with verified social entrepreneurs through an audited platform. The TGE follows successful IDOs on Finceptor and Spores Network, alongside additional offerings on Red Kite and Huostarter.

    “$GRANT is not a speculative launch, it is the activation of an ecosystem that is already operating, audited, and delivering measurable impact,” said Dr. Konstantin Livshits, founder of GrantiX. “This milestone aligns our community around a shared mission to make impact investing transparent, efficient, and scalable.”

    Built on Arbitrum and designed to be multi-chain, GrantiX integrates directly into high-volume DeFi protocols, enabling optional micro-donations to be embedded into everyday transactions. Alongside with real-world revenue streams, a single Web3 partner processing more than 100 million transactions per week can route user opt-in donations to verified impact projects, with GrantiX earning a 2% fee for distribution, verification, and on-chain transparency. Even modest participation at this scale creates recurring, sustainable effect.

    The global impact economy represents a $1.57 trillion market that remains largely offline and opaque. As financial activity increasingly moves on-chain, GrantiX aims to bring this capital into Web3 by embedding impact directly into transactions, turning donations into programmable infrastructure rather than a separate product.

    Since launching its MVP, GrantiX has processed more than 20,000 donations totaling over $250,000, distributed more than $80,000 in grants to verified social entrepreneurs, and onboarded more than 18,000 users organically. The project has raised more than $1.75m in angel funding and public rounds, and all smart contracts have been audited by CertiK ahead of the mainnet rollout.

    “The demand we saw across our IDOs reflects growing interest in Web3 projects with real-world utility and sustainable economics, rather than hype-driven meme coins” said Anton Yanushkevich, CEO of GrantiX. “By combining AI-driven evaluation with on-chain transparency, we are building an impact layer for Web3 where doing good is embedded directly into financial infrastructure – we believe, that the future of impact is on-chain.”

    $GRANT is now live. Users can join the launch by trading $GRANT on BingX and BitMart and become part of the on-chain impact economy:

    BingX: https://bingx.com/en/spot/GRANTUSDT

    BitMart: https://www.bitmart.com/trade/GRANT_USDT

    About GrantiX

    GrantiX is a sustainable, multi-chain impact platform connecting donors, social entrepreneurs, and investors on-chain. Through its AI-powered Web3 ecosystem, GrantiX brings transparency and efficiency to global impact investing. Its audited model combines DeFi, SocialFi, and DAO governance tools to fund and verify real-world charitable projects. Founded by Dr. Konstantin Livshits and Anton Yanushkevich, GrantiX’s mission is to make doing good a scalable, rewarding part of Web3 utility.

  • dYdX Shares Key Highlights from December Analyst Call

    dYdX Shares Key Highlights from December Analyst Call

    Zug, Switzerland, December 18th, 2025, Chainwire

    The dYdX Foundation recently hosted its Monthly Analyst Call for December, together with dYdX Labs, providing an overview of protocol activity, governance actions, ecosystem integrations, and incentive programs during a period of mixed market conditions. The call is part of the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to transparency and structured communication with analysts, token holders, and ecosystem participants.

    Despite softer trading activity across the broader crypto derivatives market in November, dYdX demonstrated continued momentum. Over the most recent 30-day period, the protocol recorded $16.1 billion in perpetual trading volume, representing the strongest rolling month of Q4 and a clear step-up. Daily volumes frequently exceeded $600–800 million, a 2-3X growth in trader engagement and growing on-chain liquidity even amid more cautious market sentiment.

    A central theme of the December call was the role of governance in shaping protocol growth. During the month, dYdX Governance approved Surge Season 9, including a 50% fee rebate for UI and API traders and a $1 million Targeted Incentive Program designed to support trader retention during periods of elevated volatility. 

    Governance also approved the extension of fee-free trading for BTC and SOL perpetuals from November into December. This initiative was designed to stimulate on-chain activity and market depth following broader market volatility earlier in the quarter, while offering traders direct cost relief on two of the protocol’s most actively traded markets.

    December also marked an important expansion of dYdX’s product surface with the launch of Solana Spot trading on dYdX. The addition of spot markets marks a strategic step toward broadening dYdX’s addressable user base and supporting a wider range of trading strategies beyond perpetuals.

    Notably, Solana spot trading on dYdX is also available to users in the United States, positioning spot markets as a key entry point for U.S.-based participants. This launch reinforces dYdX’s longer-term vision of supporting multiple asset classes and user segments through onchain infrastructure, while navigating evolving regulatory environments.

    December further highlighted the expanding scope of dYdX’s ecosystem integrations. Governance formally approved BONK as an official dYdX integration partner, enabling a first-of-its-kind, community-aligned derivatives deployment. BONK’s newly launched perp DEX, powered by dYdX infrastructure, redirects 50% of all trading fees directly to the BONK DAO, aligning protocol usage with community value creation. Fee-free BONK perpetuals on bonk.trade mark an additional step in experimenting with new distribution and revenue-sharing models.

    Network security and alignment remained strong. Approximately 273 million DYDX were staked as of mid-December, representing a substantial portion of circulating supply. During the period, DYDX buybacks continued alongside staking of the bought back tokens, reinforcing long-term incentives for tokenholders and validators.

    Charles d’Haussy, CEO of the dYdX Foundation, commented:

    “December demonstrated the strength of dYdX’s governance-led model. The protocol continues to grow volumes, ship new integrations, and deploy targeted incentive programs. These outcomes reflect a maturing ecosystem where governance and infrastructure work together to support sustainable growth.”

    About the dYdX Foundation

    The dYdX Foundation is an independent not-for-profit organization based in Zug, Switzerland. Its mission is to support the current and future implementations of the dYdX protocol and foster community-driven governance and growth across the ecosystem.

  • Kalshi Integrates TRON Network, Expanding Onchain Liquidity Access for World’s Largest Prediction Market

    Kalshi Integrates TRON Network, Expanding Onchain Liquidity Access for World’s Largest Prediction Market

    Geneva, Switzerland, December 18th, 2025,

    TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), today announced that Kalshi, the world’s largest prediction market platform, has integrated the TRON blockchain network. This integration enables seamless deposits and withdrawals using TRX, the native utility token of the TRON network, and USDT on TRON, expanding Kalshi’s multichain infrastructure by providing additional liquidity pathways for global market participants while bridging traditional finance with blockchain infrastructure.

    The integration positions TRON as a critical component in Kalshi’s expansion beyond traditional finance rails into the blockchain economy. Domestic account holders can now directly deposit and withdraw native TRX and USDT on TRON, while international users can leverage the integration through connected exchange accounts. This development combines TRON’s proven scale and efficiency with Kalshi’s innovative prediction market infrastructure to unlock new channels for onchain liquidity to flow seamlessly into real-world event trading markets.

    “The collaboration between Kalshi and TRON demonstrates the growing convergence between traditional financial markets and blockchain infrastructure,” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson at the TRON DAO. “As the world’s largest prediction market embraces multichain capabilities, TRON’s speed, scalability, and dynamic ecosystem provide the ideal foundation for new pathways to liquidity.”

    Three-second block times and near-zero transaction fees create an optimal environment for seamless movement of funds between the world’s largest prediction market and TRON’s proven blockchain ecosystem, which is trusted by institutions and users worldwide. “TRON’s integration strengthens Kalshi’s multichain vision of maximizing accessibility,” said John Wang, Head of Crypto at Kalshi. “With TRON processing over $24 billion in daily transfer volume and hosting more that $80 billion in circulation USDT, the network brings deep stablecoin liquidity to Kalshi’s platform.”

    The collaboration reflects a broader industry trend toward blockchain integration among traditional financial platforms seeking enhanced efficiency, global accessibility, and reduced settlement friction. TRON’s established infrastructure, spanning over 350 million user accounts and processing more than 12 billion total transactions, provides Kalshi with immediate access to one of the most actively used blockchain networks worldwide. This scale enables Kalshi to tap into global liquidity pools while maintaining the speed and cost-efficiency required for active market participation.

    As both cryptocurrency and prediction markets gain mainstream adoption and regulatory clarity, the integration of blockchain infrastructure becomes increasingly critical for enabling global participation and efficient capital movement. TRON’s proven capability in handling institutional-scale transaction volumes, combined with its dominance in stablecoin infrastructure, positions both platforms at the forefront of the evolving intersection between traditional markets and decentralized finance. 

    About TRON DAO

    TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps. Founded in September 2017 by H.E. Justin Sun, the TRON blockchain has experienced significant growth since its MainNet launch in May 2018. Until recently, TRON hosted the largest circulating supply of USD major stablecoins, which currently exceeds $80 billion. As of December 2025, the TRON blockchain has recorded over 351 million in total user accounts, more than 12 billion in total transactions, and over $23 billion in total value locked (TVL), based on TRONSCAN. Recognized as the global settlement layer for stablecoin transactions and everyday purchases with proven success, TRON is “Moving Trillions, Empowering Billions.”
