WEEX at Blockchain Life 2025: Connecting Communities and Driving Innovation in Dubai
Blockchain Life 2025, held on October 28-29 at Festival Arena in Dubai, UAE, gathered over 15,000 attendees from more than 130 countries, making it one of the biggest and most influential blockchain and crypto events worldwide. This event provided the perfect platform for WEEX to showcase its global vision and build stronger ties with the Middle Eastern market. As the Most KOL-Friendly Exchange in 2025, WEEX's participation in Blockchain Life 2025 was not just about visibility, but also about deepening connections with influencers, traders, and key players. Our participation in this event allowed WEEX to cement its role as a significant force in the global crypto community, offering deeper liquidity and bigger opportunities to our growing user base.
WEEX COO's Speech: Key Insights into WEEX’s Growth and Vision for the Future
One of the standout moments at Blockchain Life 2025 was the speech by WEEX's COO, Andrew Weiner. His presentation, titled "Deeper Liquidity, Bigger Whales," highlighted WEEX’s incredible growth trajectory and its vision for revolutionizing global crypto trading. Andrew emphasized how WEEX’s expanding user base and recognition in the industry set it apart as a top-tier exchange. In particular, he touched on our recent achievement of being named Most KOL-Friendly Exchange 2025, an award voted by over 150 leading crypto influencers. Andrew also spotlighted WEEX’s significant performance, notably our inclusion in the CoinGecko Bitcoin Report (October 1, 2025), where WEEX was ranked among the Top 11 centralized exchanges. This accomplishment was driven by our market-leading growth in BTC/USDT open interest and our commitment to offering a robust suite of over 1,800 trading pairs and futures trading with up to 400x leverage. As WEEX continues to redefine the future of both spot and futures trading, Andrew’s speech further solidified WEEX’s position as a global leader in the crypto space.

Mixin has launched USTD-margined perpetual contracts, bringing derivative trading into the chat scene.
The privacy-focused crypto wallet Mixin announced today the launch of its U-based perpetual contract (a derivative priced in USDT). Unlike traditional exchanges, Mixin has taken a new approach by "liberating" derivative trading from isolated matching engines and embedding it into the instant messaging environment.
Users can directly open positions within the app with leverage of up to 200x, while sharing positions, discussing strategies, and copy trading within private communities. Trading, social interaction, and asset management are integrated into the same interface.
Based on its non-custodial architecture, Mixin has eliminated friction from the traditional onboarding process, allowing users to participate in perpetual contract trading without identity verification.
The trading process has been streamlined into five steps:
· Choose the trading asset
· Select long or short
· Input position size and leverage
· Confirm order details
· Confirm and open the position
The interface provides real-time visualization of price, position, and profit and loss (PnL), allowing users to complete trades without switching between multiple modules.
Mixin has directly integrated social features into the derivative trading environment. Users can create private trading communities and interact around real-time positions:
· End-to-end encrypted private groups supporting up to 1024 members
· End-to-end encrypted voice communication
· One-click position sharing
· One-click trade copying
On the execution side, Mixin aggregates liquidity from multiple sources and accesses decentralized protocol and external market liquidity through a unified trading interface.
By combining social interaction with trade execution, Mixin enables users to collaborate, share, and execute trading strategies instantly within the same environment.
Mixin has also introduced a referral incentive system based on trading behavior:
· Users can join with an invite code
· Up to 60% of trading fees as referral rewards
· Incentive mechanism designed for long-term, sustainable earnings
This model aims to drive user-driven network expansion and organic growth.
Mixin's derivative transactions are built on top of its existing self-custody wallet infrastructure, with core features including:
· Separation of transaction account and asset storage
· User full control over assets
· Platform does not custody user funds
· Built-in privacy mechanisms to reduce data exposure
The system aims to strike a balance between transaction efficiency, asset security, and privacy protection.
Against the background of perpetual contracts becoming a mainstream trading tool, Mixin is exploring a different development direction by lowering barriers, enhancing social and privacy attributes.
The platform does not only view transactions as execution actions but positions them as a networked activity: transactions have social attributes, strategies can be shared, and relationships between individuals also become part of the financial system.
Mixin's design is based on a user-initiated, user-controlled model. The platform neither custodies assets nor executes transactions on behalf of users.
This model aligns with a statement issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 13, 2026, titled "Staff Statement on Whether Partial User Interface Used in Preparing Cryptocurrency Securities Transactions May Require Broker-Dealer Registration."
The statement indicates that, under the premise where transactions are entirely initiated and controlled by users, non-custodial service providers that offer neutral interfaces may not need to register as broker-dealers or exchanges.
Mixin is a decentralized, self-custodial privacy wallet designed to provide secure and efficient digital asset management services.
Its core capabilities include:
· Aggregation: integrating multi-chain assets and routing between different transaction paths to simplify user operations
· High liquidity access: connecting to various liquidity sources, including decentralized protocols and external markets
· Decentralization: achieving full user control over assets without relying on custodial intermediaries
· Privacy protection: safeguarding assets and data through MPC, CryptoNote, and end-to-end encrypted communication
Mixin has been in operation for over 8 years, supporting over 40 blockchains and more than 10,000 assets, with a global user base exceeding 10 million and an on-chain self-custodied asset scale of over $1 billion.
