The GEEKOM MiniPC might just be the next NUC
SHENZHEN, China, July 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Intel initiated its Next Unit Computing (NUC) Line of mini PCs in 2012, with a vision of making PC systems that are small enough to fit into the palm of your hand, yet powerful enough to handle day-to-day desktop computing. Although several NUC models are still best-sellers in the market, Intel chose to step away from the business.
As disappointing as Intel’s exit from the market is, it’s comforting to know that GEEKOM, a multinational consumer electronics company, promises to keep Intel’s vision of compact computing alive. In fact, GEEKOM’s Mini IT series mini PCs have long been considered as the best alternatives to the Intel NUC Pros.
The GEEKOM Mini IT12 is identical to a NUC 12 Pro Wall Street Canyon in many ways. The two mini PCs have the same shape and size. But unlike the NUC 12 Pro, which is powered by Core-P processors, GEEKOM allows consumers to choose more powerful 45W Core-H processors.
The GEEKOM Mini IT12 is also equally impressive in terms of connectivity. It packs two 40Gbps USB4, three USB3.2 Gen2, a USB2.0, two HDMI 2.0, a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The mini PC supports triple storage drives, and can output videos to 4 screens simultaneously.
While offering the same set of features and equivalent performance, GEEKOM mini PCs are around 30% cheaper than their Intel counterparts. For instance, the Mini IT12 with Core i5-1240P, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD retails for $499, but the NUC 12 Pro with the same specifications is priced at $639.
The Mini IT12 may be considered excessive for some, but GEEKOM provides other viable options. The Mini IT11 is basically GEEKOM’s version of the NUC 11 Pro, while the MiniAir 11 is a perfect alternative to the NUC 11 Essential. Also, it is important to note that if customers are already considering next-generation portable computers, they should be aware that the GEEKOM Mini IT13, featuring the same 13th Gen Core CPUs as the NUC 13 Pro Arena Canyon, is slated for release in September.
GEEKOM was founded in Taiwan in 2003 and has been making quality computer products for 19 years. The company has a professional team of experts and offers 24/7 online support for customers. When contemplating the acquisition of your next mini PC, GEEKOM is a brand that should not be underestimated.

BTC Puts at 2023 Crisis Levels Amidst Tariff Storm: New Bybit x Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Report
DUBAI, UAE, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, released a new weekly crypto derivatives analytics report in collaboration with Block Scholes, outlining crypto’s attempt to resist broader macroeconomic headwinds as the Trump administration announced new decrees in the ongoing trade war. Bearish signs dampened faith in crypto, with OTM puts dominating short-term BTC volatility at a more pressing level than the US financial crisis in Q1 2023. The trend was eased by the 90-day pause, which led to a global market rally.
Key Highlights:
- BTC Open Interest Impaired by Tariff-Induced Turmoil: Bybit data showed relative stability in the context of a global risk-on event. The flow was disrupted on “Liberation Day”, following which BTC and ETH did not escape the fate of other assets and both suffered dramatic declines from their March highs.
- Funding Rates Clinging to Neutrality: Data captured a short-lived positive trend in funding rates on Bybit in the report, which trended down after traders sensed a period of uncertainty in economic and trade policies. Treading the fine line between positive and negative headlines, BTC’s perpetual swap market has been lacking overall directional sentiments.
- An Open Interest Remains Firm: BTC plunged to $75K following Trump’s initial “declaration of war” in tariffs, triggering a defensive options strategy shift. Put trading outpaced calls as investors sought protection, while US counter-tariffs inverted the volatility curve—a condition that persists despite some recovery. The current put skew exceeds levels seen during the 2023 banking crisis, with surging interest signaling widespread pessimism.

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has reported a notable increase in trading activity following the launch of its Zero-Fee Trading Campaign in the first quarter of 2025. The program aimed to remove fees from particular futures trading pairs while simultaneously boosting user interaction and substantial growth throughout essential platform metrics.
During the first three months of the year, the platform witnessed an increase of 17.8% in monthly active traders and a 170.2% surge in trading volume, driven by the introduction of popular trading pairs such as SOL/USDT, HYPE/USDT, and S/USDT. These listings matched user preferences and overall market trends, reinforcing MEXC’s position as a leader in both exchange performance and liquidity depth.
Top Performing Pairs: SOL/USDT and ADA/USDT
The campaign’s most active trading pairs included SOL/USDT together with DOGE/USDT, ADA/USDT, TRUMPOFFICIAL/USDT and SUI/USDT.
SOL/USDT achieved the highest trading volume increase of 185.62%, comprising 19% of total futures trading volume and becoming the leading pair of the quarter. ADA/USDT showed outstanding growth through a 369.44% increase in trading volume accompanied by a 393.05% increase in daily average share, highlighting the effectiveness of zero fees in boosting interest for promising assets.
Market Share Growth: Dominance in Key Trading Pairs
In terms of market share growth, AIXBT/USDT led the rankings with a 331% increase, followed by DOGE/USDT (+283%) and SOL/USDT (+209%). Notably, DOGE/USDT and SOL/USDT achieved the highest market share in their categories on CoinMarketCap, at 30.5% and 30.3%, respectively. ADA/USDT followed with a 20.6% share, securing second place in its category, while HYPE/USDT posted a 165% increase in market share.
- AIXBT/USDT (+331%)
- DOGE/USDT (+283%)
- SOL/USDT (+209%)
- ADA/USDT (+186%)
- HYPE/USDT (+165%)
A Breakthrough in Campaign Performance and Exchange Leadership
During Q1 2025, the Zero Trading Fee Campaign established MEXC as a leading force behind market volume and activity for both well-known and up-and-coming tokens. MEXC achieved wider trader participation and increased liquidity by eliminating fees on popular trading pairs.
The campaign’s success is attributed to precise timing, well-chosen trading pairs, and a clear, simplified fee structure — rather than external incentives or large-scale marketing. These results suggest that subtle adjustments to cost structures can have an outsized impact on user engagement and trading dynamics.
MEXC continues to evaluate the results of the initiative and explore further opportunities to enhance user experience in the upcoming quarters.
