VIENNA, Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today announced the launch of d Spot Margin Trading on its EU platform, unlocking greater trading flexibility for European users through up to 10x leverage — with full regulatory alignment, built-in transparency, and robust risk management tools.
This new feature empowers retail traders to amplify their strategies while maintaining precise control over their exposure. It’s another major step in Bybit EU’s mission to offer capital-efficient trading tools under the unified regulatory framework.
“Spot Margin Trading is a powerful tool — but only when paired with transparency, risk education, and user control,” said Mazurka Zeng, CEO of Bybit EU. “We’re proud to launch a product tailored for Europe’s evolving regulatory landscape — one that equips traders to scale their strategies without compromising visibility or compliance.”
What Is Spot Margin?
Spot Margin Trading allows users to borrow funds against their existing crypto holdings, using them as collateral to buy or sell more assets than their wallet balance would otherwise allow. For example, a user with €100 can borrow additional funds to execute a €1,000 trade using 10× leverage — amplifying both potential gains and losses from small market movements.
This creates significant opportunities — but also greater risks — which is why Bybit EU has implemented several safety mechanisms to protect users.
Transparent Risk Management: Designed for EU Traders
Bybit EU’s Spot Margin service includes built-in safeguards aligned on leverage and investor protection:
- Liquidation at 100% Maintenance Margin to prevent further losses
- Real-time interest rates, margin requirements, and collateral ratios, asset by asset
- Margin trading currently supported under Cross Margin only
- Leverage awareness prompts to ensure users understand the risks and conditions
- Client readiness testing to assess knowledge of risk mitigation and liquidation prevention
These features ensure that only informed users can access leverage, and that traders understand both the benefits and potential downsides of margin exposure.
Unified EU Trading, Now with Spot Margin
European users can now trade Spot Margin assets from a single, unified trading account, enabling more efficient capital deployment and real-time risk tracking. Popular pairs like BTC/USDC, ETH/USDC, and others are already available with Spot Margin functionality.
This launch reinforces Bybit’s EU position as one of the most trusted and forward-looking exchanges in Europe, following its recent MiCAR-compliant expansion. Spot Margin Trading is the foundation for a broader rollout of capital-efficient products tailored to Europe’s sophisticated crypto traders.

Eliminates the hidden price gap costing traders more than they realize
PANAMA CITY, Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Flipster, a fast-growing crypto perpetuals trading platform, has unveiled the industry’s first true zero-spread trading model, making it the first crypto exchange to eliminate the hidden price gap, known as the spread, that quietly drains trader profits.
With this structural shift, Flipster becomes the first exchange to offer one price execution with no markup on major perpetual pairs — delivering a new level of pricing transparency on perpetual trading that no other crypto exchange has offered.
Hidden Costs Most Traders Miss
Most exchanges charge a visible trading fee on every order. But what many traders don’t realize is that these posted fees are just part of the real cost. The bigger and often overlooked cost is the spread: the hidden gap between the price to go long and the price to go short.
When traders open a position, they cross that gap. When they close it, they cross it again. This creates a built-in round-trip cost that isn’t displayed upfront, yet quietly chips away at returns on every trade.
It adds up fast, especially for active, high-frequency or high-volume traders. In many cases, the spread can cost more than the trading fee itself.
For example, a trader placing a $100,000 trade may pay a visible fee of $50 at a 5 basis point rate. But if there’s also a 2 basis point spread, that’s another $40 in hidden cost just from entering and exiting the position. Add slippage, and the total cost can easily end up being two to three times higher than the posted fee.
Flipster eliminates this invisible markup by offering zero spreads on major pairs, fundamentally redefining how liquidity and execution are structured. It means quoting a single unified price rather than a split bid/ask, something most exchanges simply are not built to do.
Security That Matches Performance
Flipster is built with the same high-grade protection used by leading global financial institutions. The platform is ISO 27001 certified, adheres to internationally recognized security standards, and deploys multi-layer safeguards to protect user assets. Wallet security is reinforced with technology that removes single points of failure, while its 24/7 monitoring systems detect and neutralize threats in real time. With security embedded in every layer, Flipster ensures that assets remain protected through all market conditions.
The Only Exchange with Zero Spread and Active Yield
What you see is what you trade.
Zero spread on 20+ Major Perpetual Pairs. Traders access one unified market price. No markup. No hidden slippage.
Earn while you trade.
Locked or flexible, capital works without interruption. Flipster is the only exchange that lets traders earn and trade at the same time.
See what trading without compromise feels like. Try it yourself at flipster.io
About Flipster
Flipster is the zero-friction exchange for crypto traders who demand the ultimate perpetual trading experience. With ultra-tight spreads, balances that earn while trading, and up to 100x leverage, it delivers precision and performance for those who move fast and trade faster. In 2024 alone, Flipster’s trading volume grew 856% year-on-year, solidifying its position as one of the fastest-growing crypto perpetuals trading platforms. Learn more at flipster.io or follow X.
Dubai, UAE, August 15th, 2025, Chainwire
Early-stage Crypto presales present a rare opportunity for investors to get in at the lowest valuations before a token hits the open market. On 15th of August, Ethereum has tested the $4,750 mark, signaling strong momentum as altcoin season indicators turn positive.
According to CoinMarketCap, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index leaning toward greed and the Altcoin Season Index showing an upward trend, market sentiment is shifting toward altcoins, creating a favorable backdrop for new and emerging projects. Pepeto, the Ethereum-based meme coin, is approaching the close of Stage 9 of its presale after raising $6,187,248 in total. With a price of $0.000000147 per token, the project continues to attract attention from both meme coin enthusiasts and the wider crypto market.
Stage 9 Nearing Completion: Pepeto Presale Interest Holds Strong
Stage 9’s momentum reflects consistent investor attention. Each stage has moved quickly, and demand has been supported by Pepeto’s clear utility roadmap. Not relying solely on viral hype, Pepeto’s core value lies in its exchange platform, which is already set to list the next wave of meme coins in 2025. Applications for legitimate Web3 projects are open, and a demo version of the exchange has been showcased across social channels, a move that positions the project for sustained relevance.
Community Engagement Meets mid August 2025 Market Timing
Pepeto’s rise comes during favorable market conditions, with the Crypto Fear and Greed Index leaning positive and altcoin season beginning to take shape. The project reports strong engagement across social platforms, contributing to visibility in a competitive market. Its appeal is further supported by two independent audits, from SolidProof and Coinsult, reinforcing transparency and security. Known for its subtle connection to one of the biggest names in meme coin history, Pepeto carries the same 420 trillion token supply as Pepe, with its name born from a playful twist, taking “P E P E” and leaving “T O.” This tie to meme culture, combined with its focus on real infrastructure, is helping it stand out during a busy presale season.
This diligence has drawn attention from more cautious investors seeking credible opportunities in the meme coin sector.
What’s Next for $PEPETO?
With Stage 9 nearly complete and the token’s public debut drawing closer, Pepeto enters a decisive phase. The funding raised so far provides a strong base for initial liquidity and visibility once trading begins. As the presale moves toward its final stages, market watchers will be looking at how Pepeto leverages its exchange, PepetoSwap, cross-chain bridge, and 245% staking rewards to capture attention in a sector driven by both community and innovation.
About Pepeto
Pepeto is an Ethereum-based meme coin combining viral appeal with functional utility. Its ecosystem includes a zero-fee exchange, PepetoSwap technology, a cross-chain bridge, and high-yield staking. Built to merge meme culture with lasting infrastructure, Pepeto’s mission is to create a secure and accessible environment for trading and community growth, backed by audited smart contracts and an engaged global following.
Disclaimer:
To buy PEPETO, make sure to use the official website: https://pepeto.io. As the listing draws closer, some are attempting to capitalize on the hype by using the name to mislead investors with fake platforms. Stay cautious and verify the source.

Caldera, the internet of interconnected, modular blockchains, announced a partnership with Mawari, which is launching its network to power global infrastructure for real-time streaming of immersive 3D content. The partnership additionally positions Mawari Network to join Caldera’s metalayer interoperability network, enhancing the platform’s ability to deliver high-performance, low-latency AR/VR experiences worldwide.
Revolutionizing Spatial Computing Infrastructure
Mawari Network represents a breakthrough in decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), orchestrating storage, bandwidth, and rendering capabilities through a globally distributed network of GPU nodes. The platform’s patented 3D streaming technology reduces bandwidth usage by 80% while ensuring seamless delivery of interactive, immersive, and contextually relevant spatial computing experiences.
“Caldera lets us persist stream-quality measurements—latency, jitter, dropped frames, and frame accuracy—on-chain in near real time,” said Luis Oscar Ramirez, Founder & CEO of Mawari. “Guardian Nodes produce signed QoS attestations that are batched to the rollup; these records inform node reputation, routing, and reward calculations based on observed performance. Anchoring this loop on Caldera’s high-throughput rollup makes our quality and usage data transparent and auditable for the Mawari Network ecosystem.”
“We’re incredibly excited to have Mawari join the Caldera ecosystem,” said Matthew Katz, CEO of Caldera. “Mawari is pioneering an entirely new application of blockchain technology for the delivery of XR content.”
Proven Market Adoption
Mawari’s XR streaming technology is already being used by two of Japan’s biggest VTuber agencies – Brave group and Virtual Avex. Together, they first showcased Mawari’s vTubeXR product at the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai Japan in late May and each are part of Mawari’s Early Access Program, designed to give Early Access Partners priority access to new features, dedicated onboarding support, and customizable monetization opportunities. Mawari plans to expand vTubeXR to a broader range of VTuber production companies and IP holders, supporting the evolution of both user experience and business models.
Technical Innovation Meets Market Demand
The Mawari Network utilizes two core technologies: Mawari’s patented spatial streaming technology that works with Unity and Unreal Engine, and a strategically distributed network of edge computing nodes positioned near end-users. This architecture enables smooth AR/VR experiences on everyday devices by handling computationally intensive rendering remotely.
With the extended reality market projected to exceed 100 million devices within five years, Mawari’s DePIN approach democratizes participation by allowing anyone with GPU capacity to contribute to the network while earning rewards.
Looking Forward
The launch marks a significant milestone in bridging XR and Web3 technologies. Mawari Network’s utility-based revenue model, backed by physical infrastructure and growing enterprise partnerships, positions the platform for sustainable growth across market cycles.

QF Network (QF) today confirmed that its mainnet will go live in Q4 2025, entering the market with performance and architecture designed to reshape what is possible for Layer-1 blockchains.
While Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently floated the idea of moving the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to a RISC-V architecture, QF has already built its core around this new technology. The result is a network that is faster, more efficient, and built for mass adoption from day one.
Designed to safeguard what it calls the five pillars of digital life, which are identity, money, work, community, and data, QF Network achieves block times of just 0.1 seconds through its SPIN consensus without compromising decentralization, a feat no other Layer 1 has achieved. This architecture delivers throughput up to 10× higher than standard Substrate chains and is engineered to support millions of daily users without performance bottlenecks, thanks to its parallel execution engine.
“Our mainnet launch is not just about going live, it is about proving that a blockchain can be fast, scalable, and still sovereign by design,” said Ben Burge, Founder of Quantum Fusion Network. “We have built the foundation for dApps that feel instant, secure, and unstoppable.”
QF’s native-first SDK, verifiable off-chain compute, and zkTLS integration create an environment where developers can build applications that match Web2 performance without compromising decentralization. This technical stack bridges Web2 and Web3, maintaining security and verification while removing friction for end users.
For developers, this means the ability to compete with centralized platforms on speed and reliability while retaining core blockchain principles. For users, it means experiencing decentralized applications without the latency, throughput limits, or usability compromises that have slowed blockchain adoption.
Mainnet is on track for Q4 2025. When it arrives, QF intends not just to join the Layer-1 race, but to set a new standard for it.
About QF Network
QF Network is a sovereign Layer-1 blockchain built to safeguard identity, money, work, community, and data for the next century. Powered by SPIN consensus, parallel execution, RISC-V architecture, verifiable off-chain compute, and zkTLS, QF delivers Web2-grade performance without sacrificing neutrality or decentralization.

- First-ever Launchpool on Bybit’s EU newly MiCAR-licensed EU exchange, going live on 14th August 2025.
- The partnership connects XION’s consumer-first Layer-1 to Bybit EU users across 29 EEA markets.
- Builds on XION’s MiCA-aligned compliance leadership and prior Bybit Global Launchpool debut.
VIENNA, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — XION, the consumer-first Layer-1 blockchain, today announced it will be the first ever Launchpool project on Bybit’s EU exchange. The partnership follows Bybit’s receipt of its MiCAR license in May 2025 and the rollout of Bybit.eu, enabling verified EEA users to onboard to a fully compliant platform, where they can get yield approved assets to earn XION.
The Launchpool will feature a total pool size of 100,000 XION, distributed as follows:
- 50,000 XION to XION stakers (estimated APR: 60%)
- 30,000 XION to MNT stakers (estimated APR: 36%)
- 20,000 XION to USDC stakers (estimated APR: 24%)
As one of the few Layer-1 projects backed by Circle Ventures, XION has seen strong traction in bringing blockchain-based experiences to everyday users, with over 100+ global brands leveraging its platform. XION has been steadily growing its European presence, as it became the first Layer-1 blockchain to publish a MiCA Title II whitepaper, integrated natively with Paris-based Ledger in June, listed on Bitvavo earlier this summer, and is already working with leading European brands on blockchain-powered consumer experiences.
Similarly, one of Bybit’s main focuses in 2025 is its European expansion. Being the inaugural Launchpool partner on Bybit EU MiCAR-compliant EU platform, XION will have access to a growing regulated European audience.
“Being the very first Launchpool on Bybit EU is a major signal of XION’s deep partnership with Bybit and our shared focus on expanding compliantly in the European markets,” said Anthony Anzalone, Founder of XION. “Europe is now the proving ground for regulated digital assets, and together with Bybit EU we’re setting a precedent for how mainstream audiences can discover and engage with blockchain technology in a safe, intuitive way.”
“Recently securing our MiCAR license in Austria represents our commitment and major focus in 2025 to bring compliant, innovative crypto services to European users. Today’s launch with XION, a blockchain focused on mainstream adoption of crypto, demonstrates how regulation can accelerate rather than hinder innovation, and perfectly aligns with our European expansion strategy.” – Mazurka Zheng, CEO of Bybit EU.
The collaboration also builds on XION’s earlier relationship with Bybit, where the company featured on Bybit Global’s Launchpool during its TGE. The renewed partnership underscores the two companies’ shared commitment to making blockchain accessible to everyday users.
About XION
XION is the first walletless L1 blockchain purpose-built for consumer adoption. Utilizing protocol-level implementations related to abstracted accounts, signatures, fees, interoperability, and more, XION empowers developers to build secure, intuitive, and seamless user experiences. By removing common Web3 friction points, XION accelerates the mainstream adoption of Web3 by making blockchain technology more accessible to users and developers.

Token Generation Event (TGE) Scheduled for August 20
Following the release of its tokenomics paper, the Sapien Foundation, governing body of Sapien, a decentralized protocol connecting human intelligence to AI systems, has officially announced the date of the $SAPIEN Token Generation Event (TGE): August 20, 2025.
Built on Base, Coinbase’s secure and cost-efficient Layer 2, the $SAPIEN token powers a decentralized data foundry supported by an open Proof of Quality (PoQ) protocol. This system enforces data quality and coordinates participation through four integrated mechanisms: staking, validation, reputation, and incentives.
Rowan Stone, CEO of Sapien, says, “Sapien exists to help AI teams answer two questions that matter for every decision their models make: where did this data come from, and can it be trusted? Onchain systems have proven that incentives can organize capital at scale. We’re applying the same principles to knowledge through our Proof of Quality protocol, aligning incentives to verify provenance and scale high-value data. The aim is simple: make human data traceable, trustworthy, and scalable so the AI built on it can actually improve lives.”
Sapien is already trusted by leading organizations, including Midjourney, Workday, Alibaba, GAC, Lenovo, Transsion, CarVertical, and the United Nations.
The upcoming TGE introduces a fair launch model that balances early utility, contributor rewards, investor alignment, and long-term community governance. At launch, 25% of the total token supply will be unlocked, with the remaining 75% released through transparent vesting schedules. The total token supply is capped at 1,000,000,000 $SAPIEN.
Token Distribution Overview
- Ticker: SAPIEN
- Total Supply: 1,000,000,000
- Network: Base (ERC-20)
- TGE Date: Aug. 20, 2025
Eligible contributors will be able to claim a portion of their airdrop immediately following the TGE. This marks the first season of the Sapien Airdrop, an ongoing campaign designed to retroactively reward high-quality contributions.
To prepare for the drop, point accumulation for task-based work has been paused. A final leaderboard will be published ahead of the August 20th event. After the TGE, contributors will begin earning $USDC and $SAPIEN directly through the platform.

OpenServ, the leading full‑stack AI infrastructure platform and protocol, today announced a partnership with LunarCrush, the leading web3 social analytics firm serving companies such as Coinbase, Kraken, HTX, and Binance. The collaboration integrates LunarCrush’s 24/7 tracking of 30–50 million social media posts per hour, along with live market data, directly into OpenServ’s generative UI platform for Telegram mini apps and agent workflows. Two products are live today: DeFi News aApp on Telegram and Dash.fun (open beta).
DeFi News aApp creates short AI video briefings using LunarCrush insights—right inside Telegram—where anyone can try it at t.me/definews_aapp_bot. Users pick a topic, set a timeframe and data source, then receive a one- to three-minute video with animated overlays and on-screen stats. Templates include Bitcoin Daily Brief, Ethereum Weekly, Solana Ecosystem, and Hidden Altcoin Gems. Users can also run a custom analysis, choose an AI presenter, and schedule daily delivery. The app reads LunarCrush metrics such as social dominance, Galaxy Score, trending assets, and top influencers, then assembles a concise script and renders a finished video in‑chat for easy sharing.
Dash.fun launched in open beta on Thursday, August 7, 2025. It surfaces up‑to‑the‑minute information on any cryptocurrency based on social sentiment, recent highlights, company updates, price action, and more—without manual updates. Visit dash.fun to explore live dashboards powered by LunarCrush data.
“The fastest way to make data useful is to put it where people already work,” said Tim Hafner, CEO and co‑founder of OpenServ. “Telegram is the home base for crypto communities. Together, LunarCrush and OpenServ give users a live social signal and a way to publish that insight as video in seconds. This is just the first of many agentic use cases on Telegram.”
“Builders want context they can act on,” said Joe Vezzani, chief executive of LunarCrush. “In a world where large language models are trained, released, and end their intelligence at a point in time, LunarCrush fills the gap to allow real-time social context to anyone building LLMs and agents.”
The collaboration began after an early‑July discussion between Hafner and Vezzani about opening social data to AI agents and everyday users in chat. The partnership pairs LunarCrush analytics with OpenServ’s aApp Factory, Dash.fun dashboards, and agent tooling for Telegram. OpenServ agents use the same LunarCrush API that powers Dash.fun, shortening setup and improving reliability for teams that want to add social metrics to their own agents, tiles, and dashboards.
To help builders, OpenServ is publishing resources so teams can add LunarCrush data to custom workflows: a starter template for Telegram mini apps, an agent guide, and a Dash.fun example that maps social dominance to charts and triggers. A joint livestream will walk through the integration, show how the DeFi News aApp works, and answer questions from developers and community managers. Details will be posted on OpenServ’s Telegram Announcements channel and X account.
About OpenServ
OpenServ is the leading platform for building AI apps and products. Developers worldwide use OpenServ’s generative UI to build and employ AI agents that interact with APIs, automate workflows, and operate across any framework. With native support for Telegram and a modular SDK, OpenServ moves agents from passive interfaces to active participants in decentralized ecosystems.

BTCC, one of the world’s longest-serving crypto exchanges, welcomed 2023 Defensive Player of the Year and 2x NBA All-Star Jaren Jackson Jr. as its global brand ambassador. As a phenomenal shot blocker and leader on the court for the Memphis Grizzlies, Jaren Jackson Jr. is set to partner with BTCC and the world of crypto.
With BTCC’s first-ever sports sponsorship, the partnership marks a significant step in BTCC’s efforts to bring cryptocurrency closer to mainstream audiences and leverage the influence of world-renowned athletes to expand its global user base. The collaboration will focus on bridging the gap between professional sports and cryptocurrency through various marketing initiatives and fan engagement opportunities.
Beyond the basketball court, Jackson Jr.’s love for music and fashion further infuses his lifestyle and cultural relevance of elite sporting excellence and next-generation finance. Through the integration of a highly secured platform, Jackson Jr. and his fans are able to focus on what matters most – the action on the court and their passionate hobbies off it.
Jackson Jr.’s fans can look forward to learning more about the player through engaging content while also having the chance for greater fan engagement with Jackson Jr. through BTCC. The partnership throws the spotlight on BTCC’s key features such as futures trading and copy trading.
“I’m very excited to join the BTCC family. They’re not just another crypto brand—they’ve been in it for over a decade, and that kind of consistency means something to me. I’ve always believed in doing the work, staying disciplined, and thinking long-term, whether that’s in basketball or building your future. Partnering with a platform that shares that mindset is a natural step for me and I look forward to this journey,” said Jackson Jr. of the partnership.
In an industry where trust, discipline, and long-term vision matter, Jackson represents exactly the kind of leader BTCC wants to build with. The 7’0” shot-blocking phenom—known for his defensive prowess in locking down opponents and leading with poise—now turns his focus to helping BTCC break down barriers between sports and crypto.
“Jaren brings authenticity, consistency, and a championship mindset—values that mirror what we’ve built at BTCC over the past 14 years,” said Aaryn Ling, Head of Branding at BTCC. “We’re not here for hype—we’re here for substance and Jaren’s personality and traits embodies all that as a sporting, cultural and lifestyle icon. We welcome Jackson to the BTCC family and are excited for what is to come!”
