Bitrue joins forces with Babylon Labs to Launch Bitcoin Staking Dual Rewards Program
VICTORIA, BC, Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Bitrue cryptocurrency exchange, a noted pioneer in the industry, has today announced an official collaboration with Babylon Labs to provide their users with a brand new Bitcoin native staking rewards program.
Babylon Labs have developed an innovative solution that uses the existing features of the Bitcoin network to allow for the staking of BTC without relying on bridges or smart contracts. This ensures that the Babylon staking solution maximally benefits from the inherent security of the Bitcoin blockchain, and in turn, the incentivization of staking helps bolster the security of other L2s and projects that are secured by Bitcoin. Users who choose to stake are rewarded for their contributions with Babylon Points, similar to wildly popular protocols such as EigenLayer that have been built on other chains such as Ethereum and Solana.
As an official staking provider of the Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol, Bitrue has today launched a feature that provides their users with easy access to staking via Babylon, allowing them to earn Babylon Points on the platform without requiring them to transfer any of their assets away from the exchange. Simultaneously, this BTC staked on Bitrue will generate additional rewards of BTC paid directly into the user’s account at 2.3% APR. With the price of BTC continuing to grow rapidly, this provides holders of BTC with multiple avenues to increase their wealth passively with minimal effort.
“DeFi continues to be a huge growth area for the web3 industry, and while many thought that such a service would be impossible on Bitcoin, its imminent launch showcases the unlimited potential for innovation in this sector.” said Adam O’Neill, Chief Marketing Officer at Bitrue. “Babylon Labs are unlocking enormous value for consumers and developers alike, and we are excited to work alongside them to provide a new dual rewards program to ensure that Bitrue customers receive the best returns on their investments.”
Bitrue will also automatically manage user’s Babylon Points, allowing them to see their points balance directly on the website. This one-stop dual rewards solution has been designed not only to maximize the earnings potential for Bitrue users, but also to make the entire process as simple as possible.
Users wishing to take advantage of this feature can get started now by heading to Bitrue’s Babylon Staking Page.

DUBAI, UAE, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has expanded its peer-to-peer (P2P) platform to support the Bolivian Bolíviano (BOB), enabling users in Bolivia to buy and sell crypto with their national currency for the first time on the platform.
In addition to enhancing local access to digital assets, Bybit is launching a new merchant program that invites users to list BOB trading ads and earn generous bi-weekly commissions. High-performing merchants can earn up to 400 USDT every two weeks, with added incentives for those listing in multiple fiat currencies.
“Expanding our P2P platform to include BOB is a reflection of our dedication to financial inclusion and local empowerment,” said Mazurka Zeng, Head of Fiat at Bybit. “We’re proud to offer Bolivian users more ways to access crypto markets while also opening the door to new opportunities”.
Bybit P2P merchants receive tailored support, including 1-to-1 customer service and faster appeal resolutions. To qualify for rewards, merchants must maintain active listings for a specified number of hours each week and meet trading volume and order count targets.

Bybit is actively expanding in the LATAM market and has seen a consistent rise in user requests from Bolivia to support the Boliviano (BOB) on its P2P platform.

VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has released its April 2025 trading highlights, showcasing impressive results in token performance, early listing advantages, and community-driven events like airdrops.
Key Takeaways:

According to the report, MEXC listed 160 new tokens in April, a 16.79% increase compared to March. This increase was driven by surging user interest in sectors such as Meme coins, GameFi, AI, and DePIN. This expansion of early-access opportunities reflects MEXC’s agile listing strategy and commitment to supporting new niches and communities.
Top New Listings Deliver 832% Average Peak Returns
MEXC’s strategic approach to listings paid off, with the top 10 tokens achieving an average all-time high return of 832.33%. HOUSE led the pack, posting a remarkable +3830.90% gain, followed by SEED (+952.63%) and TROLLSOL (+831.31%). These high performers span ecosystems including Solana, Sui, BSC, Ethereum, and Babylon.
Strong Daily Performance Tied to Trading Volume

- WCT (+849.40%)
- BANK (+937.10%)

The early token growth metrics highlight that activity on the platform is an important signal for early traders.
MEXC Empowers Traders with Early Price Discovery Capabilities
