2025: Embarking on a New Chapter Empowering Traders
To fulfill the vision for 2025, the ApeX Protocol has launched several key initiatives:
Community-Centric Tokenomics and Rewards:
1. Starting in January 2025, an airdrop of 25 million APEX tokens will be initiated for Omni users to drive community building and ApeX ecosystem development. The tokens will be distributed to the community through a series of airdrops and incentive programs over the next two years. The ApeX Pro site is scheduled to be gradually shut down.
2. Increasing token utility and implementing a buyback plan to empower the token with more value.
· Weekly Buyback: ApeX will begin weekly buybacks of APEX tokens from the secondary market and reallocate them as staking rewards to incentivize long-term holding and token staking users.
· VIP Fee Discount: ApeX will introduce tiered transaction fee discounts to reward APEX staking users and reduce their trading costs.
ApeX Trading Chain and Multi-Chain Ecosystem Expansion:
The team will launch a transaction chain using APEX for fees to further solidify the native token's role in the ecosystem.
Additionally, ApeX is committed to expanding the multi-chain ecosystem in collaboration with partners like zkLink X, jointly developing a secure decentralized multi-chain trading infrastructure.
AI-Driven Social Trading, Smart Contracts, and Spot Trading:
1. Introducing AI smart tools to provide users with an efficient and intelligent one-click full-chain spot trading experience.
2. Transitioning from AI smart signal tools to a fully automated AI-driven DeFi operating system, enabling users to easily achieve passive income.
3. Supporting various yield assets as collateral, allowing traders to earn interest while trading contracts.
4. Launching pre-market trading to allow users to seize trading opportunities earlier.

Bloomberg: As Bitcoin Weakens, Stablecoins and RWA Continue to Drive Expansion in Crypto Businesses
In June, Bloomberg reported that despite Bitcoin falling below $60,000 last week, wiping out about $235 billion in market value within seven days, and dropping close to 50% from last year’s peak, some core businesses in the crypto industry are still expanding, mainly in stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization (RWA), payments, and infrastructure. The report also noted that overall altcoin activity has contracted significantly: altcoin market capitalization has fallen from a peak of about $431 billion in November 2021 to around $170 billion, and among the tens of millions of tokens issued in recent years, fewer than 1,700 still maintain meaningful trading activity.

Japan to Assess a Framework for Yen Stablecoins and Crypto ETFs as Asia’s Compliant Payments Narrative Heats Up
Recently, according to the original report, Japan is considering the launch of yen stablecoins and cryptocurrency ETFs. Public information remains limited at this stage, and there is still no complete policy text, regulatory draft, or clear implementation timeline, so this is better characterized as a “policy discussion” rather than formal implementation. The original wording also noted that advancing stablecoin regulation in Asia is driving XRP usage and supporting growth in the XRPL ecosystem. However, based on currently available public information, there is not enough evidence to directly establish a clear causal relationship between this round of discussion in Japan and XRP or XRPL.
ZachXBT: Humanity private key leak and abnormal surge in H token should be viewed separately
On June 9, according to related disclosures, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted an update on Humanity’s roughly $31 million security incident, saying that after further analyzing fund flows, he currently tends to believe the project team was not involved in an “inside job” or a self-staged attack. According to him, the official explanation about the private key leak was broadly accurate, but before the token unlock, the price of H had been artificially pushed higher, and the hacker later took advantage of that market environment; therefore, the private key leak and the earlier abnormal price pumping should be regarded as two separate and independent events. This reframing has shifted the market’s understanding of the nature of the incident. Earlier discussion around Humanity had focused on whether the team directly participated in the attack or used the security incident to cover up internal operations. ZachXBT’s latest remarks shift the focus from “whether it was self-theft” to “whether there were pre-unlock market structure issues.” He also questioned whether the team may have.
