Resumen

Global cryptocurrency exchange WEEX has completed a $2 million buyback of its native token WXT, repurchasing 72,571,028 WXT tokens. The move is part of the platform’s effort to reward users for their participation in the "Futures Mining" campaign, which offers up to 30% trading fee rebates in WXT. The campaign, originally scheduled to end on December 15, has been extended by 10 days to December 25 due to high user demand. Participants receive real-time WXT rewards for each futures trade, with higher trading volumes unlocking greater rebate tiers, ranging from Bronze to King Miner levels. To prevent inflation and support token value, WEEX used its own funds for the buyback, maintaining WXT’s scarcity. Since its launch in July 2024, WXT has seen significant growth, with year-to-date gains of around 70%, making it one of the top-performing exchange tokens. WEEX has conducted four buybacks to date, burning 41.24% of WXT’s total supply. Additional token utility includes fee discounts, airdrops, and membership benefits, offering holders an estimated annualized return of 660.61%.

On December 16, globally leading cryptocurrency trading platform WEEX announced the completion of a new round of WXT buyback worth $2 million, totaling 72,571,028 WXT tokens repurchased.

This WXT buyback aims to reward global users for their support of WEEX's 'Futures Mining' campaign. The event offers up to 30% trading fee rebate rewards for users participating in futures trading, with rewards distributed in real-time via WXT tokens.

In other words, 'Futures Mining' transforms users' daily futures trading into a novel, fully trading volume-driven 'mining' model—the higher the trading volume, the higher the fee rebate ratio, with all WXT rewards credited instantly.

'Futures Mining' Continues to Boom, Event Extended by 10 Days

WEEX 'Futures Mining' aims to return platform growth dividends to users through the innovative incentive model of 'trading is mining'. During the event, users receive real-time WXT-based fee rebates for each futures open/close order, with rebates up to 30%.

Since its launch on November 26, the event has attracted active participation from global users, with trading heat continuously rising. According to WEEX official data, as of 18:00 on December 16 (UTC+8), the top 100 users on the 'Futures Mining' leaderboard have accumulated a total futures trading volume of $9.172 billion, with total mining rewards of 3,015,047.7 WXT (data updating in real-time).

Due to the novel mechanism, generous rewards, and support for second-level settlement with instant rewards, the event has seen daily new participants and trading volumes repeatedly hit record highs after launch, with many users requesting an extension. Therefore, WEEX has extended the event by 10 days, moving the deadline from the original December 15 to December 25, allowing more users sufficient time to participate and continue enjoying mining rebate benefits.

This adjustment only extends the event duration; the rules remain unchanged: users click to register and participate in futures trading to receive WXT-based fee rebates, with WXT rewards credited in real-time after each open/close order.

Based on the miner tier mechanism of the 'Futures Mining' event, users start at the 'Copper Miner' tier. After trading begins, they can unlock Copper, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and King tiers sequentially based on cumulative trading volume. The higher the trading volume, the higher the miner tier and fee rebate ratio, up to 30%. After the extension, users' unlocked miner tiers and rebate ratios remain effective. Trading fees generated during the extension will still be rebated in real-time at the corresponding ratio. Users can check their reward amounts and status in real-time via the WEEX App or official website.

72.57 Million WXT Buyback Completed, Ensuring Deflationary Effect

Unlike the token inflation issues faced by trading mining launched by other CEXs or liquidity mining on DeFi platforms, WEEX 'Futures Mining' not only maintains WXT's deflation but also genuinely demonstrates 'user rewards' sincerity through the $2 million WXT buyback supporting mechanism.

As previously announced, WEEX used platform funds to conduct a WXT buyback on the open market on December 16. By 17:00 (UTC) on December 16, the buyback plan was completed as scheduled, totaling 72,571,028 WXT repurchased at an average price of 0.027559 USDT/WXT.

Thus, the circulating supply of WXT will not increase due to the 'Futures Mining' event, maintaining WXT's scarcity and value stability, ensuring users' mining收益. Long-term, as WEEX's user base and trading volume continue to grow, the platform can invest more resources to further empower the WXT ecosystem, enhancing WXT's long-term appreciation potential.

Since its launch in July 2024, WXT has seen a maximum increase of over 358%, with a cumulative increase of over 180% to date. According to CMC data, WXT has risen about 70% year-to-date, ranking among the top 5 CEX platform tokens for yearly gains.

This outstanding performance is attributed to WEEX's long-term empowerment of the WXT ecosystem. To date, WEEX has completed 4 WXT buybacks via open market operations, cumulatively repurchasing 4,196,774,851 WXT tokens. The first three buybacks have been burned, with the burned amount accounting for 41.24% of WXT's total issuance, fully demonstrating WEEX's long-term support and confidence in the WXT token ecosystem.

In addition to buyback and burn, WEEX continues to empower WXT through various mechanisms such as WE-Launch new token listing airdrops, trading fee discounts, and trader权益 upgrades, resulting in a comprehensive annualized yield of up to 660.61% for WXT holders.

As the core of the WEEX ecosystem, WXT is dedicated to incentivizing partners, contributors, and active users of the exchange community. Through the 'Futures Mining' event and WXT buyback mechanism, WEEX not only creates more profit opportunities for users but also further consolidates WXT's market position.

The Verdict in Choi Tae-won's Divorce Case: Revealing the Inheritance Undercurrent Behind SK Hynix's Trillion-Won Empire

SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won's high-profile divorce case, involving a record 1.38 trillion won settlement, has drawn attention to the succession plans for Korea's second-largest conglomerate, especially its crown jewel, SK hynix. Unlike traditional chaebol scripts centered on the eldest son, Chey's three children from his marriage to former President Roh Tae-woo's daughter, Roh Soh-yeong, are carving distinct, non-traditional paths. Eldest daughter Chey Yun-jung (b. 1989) is seen as the most evident successor. With a scientific and consulting background, she holds executive roles at SK bioscience and SK Inc.'s growth support department, focusing on future strategy and biopharma. Her marriage is to an AI infrastructure entrepreneur, not a traditional business alliance. Second daughter Chey Min-jung (b. 1991) took a unique route, voluntarily serving as a South Korean naval officer, including an anti-piracy deployment. She later worked on policy and strategy for SK hynix in Washington D.C. before co-founding an AI-driven healthcare startup. She married a former U.S. Marine Corps officer, connecting her to U.S. defense and policy circles—networks crucial for a global semiconductor giant. The only son, Chey In-geun (b. 1995), who studied physics like his father, worked briefly at SK E&S before joining McKinsey. Despite fitting the traditional "heir" profile as the eldest son, he remains silent and holds no public position or shares in SK, suggesting the old succession playbook is obsolete. As SK hynix's valuation soars, becoming a geopolitical asset in the AI era, the heirs' legitimacy is no longer automatic. They must prove themselves in fields like AI biotech, global policy, and strategic consulting. Their marriages also reflect new elite networks in tech and defense, not old political alliances. Their inheritance is the complex challenge of navigating a globalized, tech-driven world, not just a corporate throne.

Banks oppose stablecoin yield deal – Can CLARITY Act find 60 votes?

The Bank Policy Institute (BPI) has opposed the latest draft of the CLARITY Act, criticizing its provisions on stablecoin yield and illicit finance. The banking industry sought a total ban on stablecoin yield, but the bill's compromise only prohibits passive yield on idle balances. This opposition has influenced lawmakers, reducing tentative Republican Senate support to potentially 49 votes. With the 60-vote threshold needed, securing sufficient Democratic support appears difficult as some pro-crypto Democrats also oppose the bill due to ethics and illicit finance concerns. Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed doubt the bill can pass before the August recess. Market odds for the bill's passage in 2026 have fallen, leaving its future uncertain.

2 Months, Valuation Soars from $8.8B to $68B! The Largest AI Model Hub OpenRouter May Be Acquired

Stripe is reportedly in talks to acquire AI model marketplace OpenRouter for a price nearing $10 billion, a dramatic increase from its $1.3 billion valuation just two months prior. The deal, which could be announced within a month, would see the payment giant absorb a key "router" or aggregation layer in the AI infrastructure stack. OpenRouter provides developers with a single API to access over 400 large language models (LLMs), automatically routing queries to the most suitable model based on cost, capability, and speed. This allows AI applications to optimize expenses while maintaining user experience. Founded in 2023 by ex-OpenSea co-founder Alex Atallah and Louis Vichy, OpenRouter has grown rapidly, reaching $50 million in annualized revenue by April and serving over one million developers. For Stripe, the acquisition of OpenRouter follows its late-2025 purchase of usage-based billing platform Metronome. The combined strategy aims to create an integrated suite for the AI economy: OpenRouter would handle model selection and routing, Metronome would manage granular usage-based billing, and Stripe's core platform would process payments. This positions Stripe to control a critical part of the AI application value chain, influencing which models get used while simplifying cost management for enterprise customers.

From OpenSea to OpenRouter: Is Alex Atallah Repeating His 'Exit at the Peak' Playbook?

From OpenSea to OpenRouter: Is Alex Atallah Repeating His "Exit at the Peak" Playbook? According to the Wall Street Journal, payments giant Stripe is in talks to acquire the AI model aggregation platform OpenRouter in a potential deal valuing the company near $100 billion. This would mark founder Alex Atallah's second creation of a company reaching a $100 billion valuation, following his co-founding of NFT marketplace OpenSea. OpenRouter, founded just over three years ago, has grown rapidly by acting as a unified gateway for developers to access over 400 AI models. It currently has about 10 million users and processes over 200 trillion tokens monthly. While the platform's annualized revenue is around $50 million, its valuation has skyrocketed from $1.3 billion in March 2026. The potential acquisition by Stripe, a company OpenRouter's founder once likened it to, represents a major expansion into AI infrastructure for the payments leader. This move echoes Atallah's previous timing with OpenSea, where he departed before the NFT market's significant downturn. For OpenRouter, selling now may be strategic. Despite its scale, its business model—charging a 5-5.5% fee on AI inference calls—faces pressure from competition, open-source models, and potential price wars among model providers, limiting its profitability narrative for an IPO. A key asset for potential acquirers like Stripe is OpenRouter's vast repository of real-world AI usage data, which offers unique insights into model performance and developer preferences that are difficult to replicate. Whether this potential deal signifies a new valuation benchmark for AI infrastructure or another market peak signal remains to be seen.

Pons V2 brings RWA trading pairs as Robinhood Chain broadens its ambitions

Pons, a key launchpad on Robinhood Chain, has launched its V2 upgrade. The update aims to boost liquidity, remove trading restrictions for most users via an ETH-denominated bonding curve, and introduces support for custom tokenized real-world asset (RWA) trading pairs. This aligns with Robinhood Chain's broader RWA focus. The upgrade also allows creators to collect fees in ETH by default. The network itself is growing rapidly, surpassing $300 million in Total Value Locked. Its cumulative DEX volume has exceeded $9 billion, with about 80% coming from speculative memecoin trading. However, data shows 63% of traders are at a loss, with profits concentrated in a small number of wallets. The introduction of RWAs could help drive more organic adoption for the chain, which is positioning itself as a major player for speculative trading, challenging networks like Base and Solana.
