In April 2025, the European Central Bank announced an early interest rate cut of 50 basis points. This move was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves. Immediately afterward, the Federal Reserve hinted at a pause in balance sheet reduction, which brought new expectations and changes to the global financial market. Against this backdrop, global liquidity expectations turned rapidly, and the cryptocurrency market ushered in a new round of carnival. In this round of market driven by macroeconomic policies, the trading volume of decentralized derivatives surged by 300% year-on-year, and the market showed a prosperous scene. Among them, the XBIT decentralized exchange platform has become the core hub for capital influx with its unique advantages. The platform's perpetual contract open interest (OI) increased by 42% in a single week, breaking the $12 billion mark for the first time, and firmly occupying the safe haven high ground, bringing new vitality and changes to the cryptocurrency market, and also allowing investors to see new hope for asset preservation and appreciation in a complex market environment.

Core technology advantages: three arrows fired at the same time to crack the pain points of the DEX industry

In the world of traditional exchanges, liquidity fragmentation and high slippage have always been two major problems that plague investors. When investors conduct cross-chain transactions, they often have to face high handling fees and long waiting times, and due to the liquidity differences between different blockchains, it is difficult to find the best transaction price. XBIT has completely broken these barriers through its cross-chain liquidity aggregation engine.

By integrating the deep liquidity pools of 12 mainstream public chains such as Ethereum and Solana, the industry's lowest spread of 0.05% has been achieved, which is 70% lower than similar DEXs. This means that when investors trade, they can trade at a price closer to the market price, greatly reducing transaction costs. Its original AI market-making algorithm plays an important role. It can monitor market dynamics in real time, dynamically adjust funding rates, and compress arbitrage space to almost zero. In this way, not only can investors get a better trading experience, but the stability of the market has also been greatly improved.

In the cryptocurrency market, security issues have always been one of the most concerning issues for investors. Due to the decentralized nature of cryptocurrency, once a security incident occurs, investors' assets may face huge losses. XBIT uses cold wallet shard storage and anti-quantum encryption technology to provide solid protection for the security of users' assets.

95% of user assets are decentralized and hosted in 12 jurisdictions around the world. This distributed storage method greatly reduces the risk of single point failure. Even if there is a problem with the server in a certain area, it will not affect the security of user assets. At the same time, the application of anti-quantum encryption technology enables XBIT to resist quantum computing attacks that may occur in the future. At present, the cost of a single attack is as high as 230 million US dollars, and there has been no record of theft so far, which fully proves the reliability of its security architecture.

Smart contracts are one of the core technologies of decentralized exchanges, but the security of smart contracts has also been a concern. Once a smart contract has a vulnerability, it may cause the user's assets to be stolen or the transaction to be abnormal. In order to ensure the security of smart contracts, the platform introduces a smart contract sandbox mechanism.

New strategies must pass 48 hours of historical backtesting and stress testing before they can be connected to the real market, and cooperate with Chainlink customized oracle to ensure zero deviation in contract execution. Before the smart contract goes online, it will be rigorously tested to simulate various possible situations to ensure the stability and security of the contract. A total of 52,000 abnormal transactions have been intercepted, which fully proves the effectiveness of the smart contract sandbox mechanism.

Grasping the tide of institutional entry, the compliance strategy has won tens of billions of orders.

With the development of the cryptocurrency market, more and more institutional investors have begun to pay attention to this field. However, regulatory issues have always been a major obstacle for institutional investors in entering the cryptocurrency market. In order to attract institutional investors, XBIT actively promotes the compliance strategy and became the first DEX to pass the dual certification of the EU MiCA2.0 and Hong Kong VASP license.

This compliance advantage enables the platform to provide institutional investors with a safer and more transparent trading environment. Institutional investors can complete large transactions through its "zero-knowledge KYC" channel without worrying about regulatory risks. Data from Q1 2025 showed that the proportion of institutional accounts on the platform soared to 39%, and giants such as Goldman Sachs and Softbank completed more than US$1.5 billion in large transactions through its "zero-knowledge KYC" channel.

The entry of institutional investors not only brought a lot of funds to XBIT, but also enhanced the platform's market influence. Institutional investors usually have more professional investment experience and stronger financial strength. Their participation makes the market transactions more active and more liquid. At the same time, the entry of institutional investors also drives other investors to follow suit, further promoting the development of the cryptocurrency market.

Steady plan to promote, option launch and gold tokenization

According to the official announcement, XBIT will launch American option trading in Q3 2025 and expand to 50 fiat currency channels. As an important financial derivative, option trading can provide investors with more investment strategies and risk management tools. The launch of option trading will further enrich the platform's product line and meet the needs of different investors.

American options allow investors to exercise their rights at any time before the option expiration date, which provides investors with greater flexibility. The expansion to 50 fiat currency channels will enable more investors to participate in option trading conveniently. This move will further enhance the competitiveness of the global cryptocurrency market.

More importantly, the gold tokenization program in cooperation with the Swiss National Bank has entered the testing phase and is expected to attract more than US$5 billion in traditional funds after it goes online in 2026. Gold, as a traditional safe-haven asset, has always been favored by investors. Tokenizing gold makes it easier for investors to hold and trade gold.

Through cooperation with the Swiss National Bank, XBIT can use its strong reputation and resources to ensure the security and reliability of gold tokenization. Once the gold tokenization solution is launched, it will bring new development opportunities and further promote the integration of the cryptocurrency market and the traditional financial market.

Conclusion

From liquidity aggregation to compliance breakthroughs, XBIT is being driven by technological innovation and institutional operations, becoming the core bridge connecting traditional finance and DeFi ecology. When market volatility intensifies, its "smart circuit breaker + insurance pool" mechanism (accumulated to avoid losses of $970 million) further demonstrates its hedging value-providing investors with a rare anchor of certainty in the uncertainty of the crypto world.

Against the backdrop of the policy shift of the US and European central banks, the cryptocurrency market has ushered in new opportunities and challenges. With its three major innovative technologies, compliance strategy and future blueprint planning, it has firmly established itself on the high ground of hedging. In the future, with the continuous development of the market and the continuous advancement of technology, XBIT is expected to continue to lead the development trend of the cryptocurrency market and create more value for investors.
