MEXC Futures Grid Bot Sets Traders on Fast-Track to Yields Under Multiple Market Conditions

VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has taken center stage on the crypto market with the release of the Futures Grid Bot on May 21, 2025. The new product provides users with a host of advantages and is unique as a market offering with an entry threshold as low as 10 USDT and high leverage rates for improved capital efficiency.
The MEXC Futures Grid Bot is an advanced trading instrument that opens up entirely new opportunities for traders in terms of leveraging available assets via innovative approaches. The principle of grid trading relies on applying a fully automated strategy that lets traders set multiple equidistant buy and sell orders within a predetermined price range. The given method allows traders to generate profits based on any market sentiment and at lowered risks.
Traders who rely on the Futures Grid Bot yield profits by taking advantage of market-induced price fluctuations. This lets traders use the Futures Grid Bot to generate profits, regardless of bull or bear markets.
MEXC designed the Futures Grid Bot with a number of distinct advantages, which make it highly attractive to a wide range of trader audiences. Apart from the low entry threshold, the bot grants high leverage rations, uninterrupted operation, and low transaction fees.
Among the potential users of the bot are short-sell traders, giving them effective risk dispersal in case of market falls. Leveraged traders and those seeking risk mitigation can also benefit from the Futures Grid Bot, as it can help them distribute dense orders. The automated nature of the bot makes it ideal for full-time traders, freeing them from monitoring their trades nonstop. Novice traders will find the Futures Grid Bot an excellent stepping stone into their trading careers, considering its low 10 USDT entry threshold and that the instrument automatically adjusts its parameters to suit their modes.
The workflow of the Futures Grid Bot has been intentionally simplified and streamlined to ensure that both novice and professional traders can use its interface with minimal navigation. In order to initiate their first trade with the Futures Grid Bot, users must first determine the price range of their orders within the price range that suits their requirements. The next step is setting the trade intervals into an equidistant grid and placing buy and sell orders within each grid cell. Futures Grid Bot takes over as the final step, launching automated buy-low and sell-high orders.
The MEXC exchange is confident that the Futures Grid Bot will prove to be a valuable addition to the platform’s ever-expanding range of products. The functionality of the bot and its ability to allow traders to generate positive yields under different market conditions makes it an attractive instrument for both novice and professional users, upping the exchange’s market status and audience inflow.

HTX Research: A Fresh Look at Bitcoin Amidst Macro Changes, Featuring HTX’s New Compliant Stablecoin Offerings

SINGAPORE, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HTX Research, the research arm of HTX, has just released a crucial new report: “The New Macroeconomic Landscape and Bitcoin Outlook: An Analysis of Liquidity, Risk Appetite, Policy Dynamics, and Investment Strategy.“ This comprehensive analysis comes at a pivotal time, as the global macroeconomic landscape undergoes profound shifts and the cryptocurrency market, especially Bitcoin’s price movements, becomes increasingly influenced by this complex backdrop. The report offers investors valuable insights, a clear market outlook, and strategic investment guidance on how evolving macroeconomic conditions are shaping the Bitcoin market.
Bitcoin Outlook in the Macro Environment: Liquidity & Market Risk Appetite
The current global macro environment is complex. A combination of factors, including cooling expectations for Fed rate cuts, ongoing quantitative tightening (QT), the replenishment of the U.S. Treasury General Account (TGA), and anticipated rate hikes by the Bank of Japan, are collectively contributing to tighter short-term liquidity.
Over the medium term (3–12 months), liquidity is expected to gradually improve. However, uncertainty surrounding market risk appetite presents both opportunities and challenges for the Bitcoin market.
Policy Tug-of-War Signals Crypto-Friendly Shifts: A Loosening Grip on Stablecoin Regulation?
The ongoing policy debate is having a significant impact on the crypto market. In a notable development, Hong Kong’s Legislative Council has passed the Stablecoin Bill, which establishes a comprehensive licensing regime for fiat-backed stablecoin issuers in Hong Kong. This legislation further refines the regulatory framework for virtual asset activities within the region, aiming to foster financial stability and consumer protection.
The more profound and complex policy impacts are unfolding in the United States. The Trump administration’s “Big Beautiful Tax Plan”, aimed at reducing taxes by $5 trillion over the next decade, has boosted market sentiment in the short term. However, the growing fiscal deficit and debt ceiling issues could spark liquidity volatility.
Regarding regulation, the U.S. Senate is making progress on stablecoin legislation. The GENIUS Act seeks to establish a standardized framework for the stablecoin market, mandating backing by 100% high-quality asset reserves. Negotiations have reportedly reached a consensus on approximately 90% of the terms, signaling a strong bipartisan push for regulatory clarity in this critical sector.
Additionally, the accelerated exploration of tokenized U.S. equities is noteworthy, with the U.S. SEC is actively researching and evaluating this space, while major financial institutions (e.g., JPMorgan) are strategically positioning themselves in this emerging field.
Furthermore, U.S. federal and state initiatives to legislate “strategic Bitcoin reserves,” such as New Hampshire’s H.B. 302 bill, are further elevating Bitcoin’s strategic importance and providing policy support for increased institutional participation.These developments collectively indicate a growing recognition and integration of digital assets within traditional financial and governmental structures.
HTX Lists USD1 and Other Compliant Stablecoins, Introduces Zero-Fee Conversion
With global policy easing on the horizon and a growing push for regulatory clarity, stablecoins are increasingly solidifying their role as the foundation of liquidity and value pegs within the crypto market. Recognizing this pivotal opportunity, HTX has recently launched a range of compliant stablecoins, including USD1 (World Liberty Financial USD), USDQ (Quantoz), EURQ (Quantoz), USDR (StablR), EURR (StablR),and AETHUSDT (Aave Ethereum USDT). This expansion is designed to meet diverse user investment preferences and boost capital efficiency.
To celebrate the launch of USD1 and reduce barriers to user participation, HTX is offering a special zero-fee conversion service. From now until December 31, 2025, at 15:59 (UTC), users can trade the USD1/USDT spot pair with no trading fees. This initiative ensures users incur no additional costs during conversion, thereby maximizing their capital utilization.
The report concludes that the Bitcoin market may encounter liquidity pressures and volatility risks in the short term. However, the medium to long term holds significant potential for a rebound. This optimistic outlook is largely supported by clearer regulatory policies and growing institutional adoption. . HTX will continue to closely monitor market and regulatory trends to help users seize opportunities and achieve steady growth in the complex and evolving crypto landscape.

Blocks & Headlines: Today in Blockchain – May 27, 2025 Featuring Blockchain.com, Bilal Bin Saqib, XRP Ledger, Unstoppable Domains, ReNEW, MEXC Ventures

Welcome to Blocks & Headlines, your op-ed–style daily briefing on the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. Today we cover:
-
Blockchain.com’s African push – expansion into Nigeria and Ghana
-
Pakistan’s new blockchain czar – Bilal Bin Saqib appointed to steer crypto policy
-
XRP Ledger powers Dubai real-estate tokenization – fractional ownership goes live
-
Unstoppable Domains’ patent filing – bridging Web2 DNS and blockchain assets
-
ReNEW project – digital twins and blockchain safeguard Europe’s rivers
-
MEXC Ventures – sponsoring Korea University’s Blockchain-AI Ideathon
Below, we unpack each story, analyze its significance, and offer insights on the broader blockchain ecosystem.
1. Blockchain.com Seeks Footprint in Nigeria & Ghana
What happened: UK-based crypto exchange Blockchain.com is opening an office in Nigeria—its fastest-growing West African market—and targeting expansion into Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa.
Why it matters: Africa’s crypto adoption continues to outpace global averages, driven by remittances, inflation hedging, and youth entrepreneurship. By establishing a physical presence, Blockchain.com gains regulatory clarity and local partnerships essential for on-the-ground support and compliance.
Opinion & implications:
-
Localized strategy wins: Purely digital exchanges risk friction with regulators and limited brand trust. A local office signals commitment and builds goodwill.
-
Regulatory trailblazing: As African nations craft crypto frameworks, Blockchain.com can help shape favorable rules through dialogue with policymakers.
-
Competitive edge: Early movers that navigate KYC/AML hurdles and deliver localized offerings (e.g., naira- or cedi-denominated trading pairs) will dominate these fast-growing markets.

2. Pakistan Appoints Bilal Bin Saqib as Crypto Advisor
What happened: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif named 29-year-old Bilal Bin Saqib—CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council—as his Special Assistant on Blockchain & Crypto, with minister-of-state status.
Why it matters: This high-profile appointment demonstrates Pakistan’s ambition to develop a FATF-compliant digital-asset framework, launch Bitcoin-mining initiatives, and integrate blockchain into governance, land records, and finance.
Opinion & implications:
-
Regulatory momentum: Pakistan’s top-down approach contrasts with countries that ban or ignore crypto. A dedicated ministerial role accelerates policymaking and VASP licensing.
-
Ecosystem growth: With 40 million crypto users and $300 billion in annual trading volume, Pakistan offers scale. Clear rules could attract institutional and retail VASPs alike.
-
Global posture: By aligning with international standards, Pakistan signals to global investors that it’s open for blockchain business.

3. XRP Ledger Powers Dubai’s Real-Estate Tokenization
What happened: The Dubai Land Department launched “Prypco Mint,” a government-backed platform for fractional real-estate ownership on the XRP Ledger. Investments start at AED 2,000 (~$545), exclusively for UAE ID holders initially.
Why it matters: Tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) is rapidly gaining traction. Using XRPL’s high throughput and low fees, Dubai cements its status as a global crypto hub and innovator in DeFi infrastructure.
Opinion & implications:
-
RWA narrative: As institutional investors seek regulated exposure to illiquid assets, real-estate tokenization on public blockchains offers transparency, tradability, and compliance.
-
Platform scalability: If XRPL proves resilient under real-estate workloads, other jurisdictions may follow suit, driving demand for XRP and associated on-chain services.
-
Economic inclusion: Lower-entry points democratize property investment, but secondary markets and custody solutions must mature to ensure liquidity.

4. Unstoppable Domains Files Patent for Blockchain-DNS Integration
What happened: Unstoppable Domains filed a patent application (submitted November 2023, published May 2025) outlining methods to tie Web2 DNS records to blockchain assets—such as NFTs or wallet addresses—and authorize DNS changes via on-chain signatures.
Why it matters: This innovation bridges legacy Internet infrastructure and Web3 identity, offering a unified control plane for domain management that’s tamper-proof and cryptographically secure.
Opinion & implications:
-
DNS security reimagined: Traditional DNS is vulnerable to hijacking. Blockchain-based record resolution could harden the domain ecosystem against centralized attacks.
-
ICANN synergy: As an ICANN-accredited registrar, Unstoppable Domains may pilot hybrid services that complement DNSSEC and emerging Internet standards.
-
Business models: Monetizing blockchain-DNS services through premium domain auctions or DNS-as-a-service could unlock new revenue streams.

5. ReNEW: Digital Twins & Blockchain Protect Europe’s Waterways
What happened: The EU-funded ReNEW project deploys digital twins, real-time sensors on tourist vessels, and a blockchain ledger to monitor and enforce wastewater discharge rules on the Douro River—and across living labs in Belgium, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Why it matters: Environmental compliance platforms often struggle with data integrity. Blockchain’s immutability ensures that pollution records are permanent and tamper-proof, automating fines for illegal discharges.
Opinion & implications:
-
Green Web3: This use case exemplifies “blockchain for good,” where transparency incentivizes sustainable practices in logistics and tourism.
-
Digital twins synergy: Coupling predictive river-system models with on-chain enforcement creates a robust decision-support tool for regulators and operators alike.
-
Scalable blueprint: Other critical-infrastructure sectors—energy grids, air quality, waste management—can adopt similar hybrid architectures.

6. MEXC Ventures at Korea University’s Blockchain-AI Ideathon
What happened: On May 16, MEXC Ventures co-hosted the 2025 Korea University Blockchain Startup Ideathon—part of the National Center of Excellence in SW AI Startup program—with 27 blockchain teams, 36 AI teams, and 208 total participants. MEXC sponsored the blockchain track alongside KISA, LG CNS, and Tether, and awarded the “MEXC Ventures Award” to team AlchemyLab.
Why it matters: Academic hackathons are incubators for early-stage blockchain innovation, fostering talent pipelines and new use-cases. Corporate sponsorships validate these events and accelerate academia-industry collaboration.
Opinion & implications:
-
Talent cultivation: With global shortages of blockchain engineers, ideathons provide hands-on training and recruitment opportunities.
-
Innovation hotspots: South Korea’s strong R&D environment and high university participation rates make it a strategic node for Web3 breakthroughs.
-
Ecosystem growth: MEXC’s involvement signals that exchanges and VCs view academic partnerships as vital for sustainable ecosystem development.

Conclusion
Today’s highlights—from Blockchain.com’s African push to Unstoppable Domains’ DNS patent—showcase an industry maturing across regulation, real-world asset tokenization, environmental use-cases, and talent development. Key trends to watch:
