Dubai, UAE, March 28th, 2025, Chainwire
Crypto exchange Coincall has officially entered the Top 5 global crypto options exchanges by trading volume, marking a major milestone just 18 months after its founding. The achievement highlights the platform’s rapid growth in a sector that’s increasingly drawing both institutional and retail interest.
The surge in performance, according to internal data and third-party analytics, is linked to a successful Q1 strategy that included high-impact marketing campaigns and new product rollouts, in collaboration with notable crypto partners such as SignalPlus, DWF, and Big Candle Capital.
Crypto Options: From Niche Strategy to Core Market Structure
Once reserved for quants and hedge funds, options are now becoming a go-to instrument for crypto-native investors. These contracts give traders the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell assets at a set price — enabling sophisticated hedging, volatility plays, and directional speculation.
As the broader digital asset market matures, crypto options are increasingly viewed as a critical building block of the financial stack. That narrative hit the mainstream this month when reports emerged of Coinbase being in advanced talks to acquire Deribit, the market’s dominant BTC and ETH options venue, for a rumored $4–5 billion. Although negotiations have since tapered, the message from the market is clear: crypto derivatives are no longer a sideshow — they’re center stage.
Youngest in the Top 5 — and Fastest Rising
Coincall’s breakout is notable not just for its velocity, but for the company’s relative youth. Founded in late 2023, Coincall now ranks among the top exchanges in the space, with it currently 9-10% the size of Deribit.
According to data from Laevitas, Coincall captured an average market share of 5.43% between March 8 and 17, 2025, with a notable peak at 10.15% on March 15. The exchange also saw strong volume days with 9.78% share on March 8 and 6.64% on March 16 — signaling rising momentum and growing competitiveness in the global crypto options landscape.
Coincall’s comparative market share and growth trajectory make it the youngest exchange ever to break into the Top 5, and potentially one of the most viable candidates for acquisition or institutional partnership among rising players. As attention shifts from mature giants to agile challengers, Coincall has positioned itself at the center of that conversation, growing into almost the same market share as industry giant ByBit.
Leadership Backed by Vision
In January, Coincall appointed Daryl Teo — former strategist at Alibaba Group (NASDAQ: BABA) and a long-time investor in the crypto space — as Chief Operating Officer and minority shareholder. He joins CEO Jimmy’s team of executives previously from OKX, Paradigm and Bytedance.
“We’re witnessing crypto achieve consensus-level legitimacy as a store of value,” Teo said. “Options are the next wave — they provide leverage, flexibility, and strategy. Our mission at Coincall is simple: make investing quick, intuitive, and safe — for everyone.”
“Earn While You Trade” feature: Unlocking Yield + Capital Efficiency
Coincall’s latest innovation, Earn While You Trade (EWYT), is designed to eliminate the traditional tradeoff between yield farming and active trading.
With EWYT, users can:
- Earn up to 6.4% APR on USDT holdings
- Access 90% of staked funds as trading margin
- Withdraw funds at any time — no lock-ups
- Increased capital efficiency for active traders
The feature enables users to earn yield on idle capital without forgoing trading activity, offering an alternative approach to capital utilization.

Macro Momentum: Crypto Infrastructure Is Back
Coincall’s rise reflects broader tailwinds in crypto infrastructure. According to PitchBook, $11.5 billion in venture capital was invested into crypto and blockchain startups in 2024 across 2,153 deals — a strong rebound after the prior bear cycle.
“The next phase of crypto will be defined by real infrastructure,” said Teo. “The platforms building with intention, with capital efficiency and user accessibility in mind, will shape the decade ahead.”
About Coincall
Coincall is a next-generation cryptocurrency options exchange founded in 2023, focused on accessibility, capital efficiency, and a seamless trading experience. With deep liquidity, fast execution, and innovative features like Earn While You Trade, Coincall is building the future of digital asset derivatives.

74% of $NATO’s 1 trillion token supply was distributed in one of the largest airdrops ever — now trading live on Uniswap, AscendEX, and Poloniex
The Nation Token ($NATO), a decentralized token on the Base blockchain, has announced its official launch following a historic airdrop to one million active Base wallets. As of today, $NATO is trading live on Uniswap, Poloniex, and AscendEX.
In December 2024, 74% of the total 1 trillion $NATO supply — 740 billion tokens — was airdropped evenly to 1 million randomly selected Base wallets, with each wallet receiving 740,000 $NATO. This marks one of the largest and most distributed token airdrops in blockchain history. Uniswap liquidity has been locked until January 1, 2030, reinforcing the commitment to long-term decentralization. The contract address for $NATO on Base is: 0xd968196fa6977c4e58f2af5ac01c655ea8332d22
Why the Nation Token Was Created
$NATO was born out of a growing concern with the direction of many modern cryptocurrencies — specifically, the increasing trend toward centralization. From token allocations to liquidity control and governance influence, too many projects are dominated by a small group of insiders, leaving everyday holders with little to no say.
The Nation Token aims to break that pattern by creating a truly community-owned and community-governed asset, where every decision and milestone is driven by the people, aligning of its mantra of #PowerToThePeople. A governance platform is currently in final development to enable token holders to vote on proposals and roadmap decisions — completing one of the final pillars of $NATO’s decentralization framework.
Speaking about the recent listings of $NATO, Andrei Popescu, CMO said “This is a true experiment in decentralized financial empowerment, proving that the power of the people can shape the market like never before. Our goal is simple yet ground-breaking—to make $NATO the first token in history to reach high goals purely through collective effort.”
Momentum and Growth
Following its initial Uniswap listing (paired with WETH), $NATO saw growth in trading activity. In the two weeks following, both Poloniex and AscendEX listed $NATO (paired with USDT), resulting in a 10x increase in trading volume according to the team. Additional exchange listings are already in the pipeline.
To drive further awareness and participation, the team has launched a community growth campaign at https://taskon.xyz/TheNationToken
Participants can compete for a $1,000 USDC monthly prize pool, split among the top 50 leaderboard members, based on engagement and learning activities around the project. This gives a further incentive for both airdrop recipients, as well as new token holders to retain their tokens.
For more information about The Nation Token and its mission, users can visit https://thenationtoken.com, or follow the project on X at https://x.com/NatoTok3n or join the citizens on Telegram at https://t.me/TheNationToken
About $NATO – The Nation Token
The Nation Token is a decentralized community-owned token built on Base, that resulted from one of the biggest airdrops in the chain’s history, as 1 million wallets received a share of 740 billion tokens. The project focuses on fair distribution, transparency, and long-term community governance.

TokenFi has officially eliminated the 0.3% buy/sell tax on its native token, TOKEN, following a unanimous vote from the Floki DAO.
“The Floki DAO proposal to remove the 0.3% buy/sell tax on $TOKEN received 100% support from the community,” the project team announced. “In line with the decision of the Floki DAO, the buy/sell transaction tax on $TOKEN has been removed.”
The vote signals a clear consensus within the Floki and TokenFi communities that lowering friction in trading is essential to increasing accessibility and unlocking broader utility for the token.
The tax removal is already live across both Ethereum and BNB Chain networks.
The original proposal, published via Snapshot, received full backing, making this one of the rare DAO votes with absolute alignment.
With the buy/sell tax now set to 0%, TokenFi aims to drive further adoption by reducing barriers for both new and existing holders. The move could also help boost TOKEN’s liquidity across decentralized exchanges and improve market efficiency.
TokenFi, which is connected to the Floki ecosystem, is working to position TOKEN as a utility and governance asset across DeFi platforms. Removing transaction friction is one of several steps being taken to expand the token’s real-world use cases and trading appeal.
The change is effective immediately.
TokenFi is a no-code, all-in-one tokenization platform that allows users to create tokens and will allow users tokenize real-world assets (RWAs) in just a few clicks using a WYSIWYG interface — no coding required. Positioned to tap into the $16 trillion tokenization industry by 2030, TokenFi aims to simplify and accelerate the process of bringing assets on-chain.
Backed by the Floki ecosystem, TokenFi is governed by the Floki DAO and led by the same core team behind the globally recognized Floki token. The platform includes a suite of tools like TokenFi Launchpad, AI Smart Contract Auditor, RWA Module, and more — all powered by its utility token, TOKEN.

The Popular AI Trading Giant AlgosOne.ai Declines Massive Acquisition Bids before AiAO Coin Debut
NEW YORK, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Since the start of 2025 AlgosOne, a leading AI-driven trading platform has declined a series of acquisition bids from prominent hedge funds, leading cryptocurrency exchanges and AI technology firms based in China, Europe, and the United States. The offers have ranged between $250M and $500M. The AI sector is gearing up for major players trying to invest and purchase AI startups.
According to AlgosOne CMO, Alex Andera, the decision to reject these offers was based on the team’s complete confidence in the project’s potential and future market valuation. AlgosOne is strategically focused on launching its native AIAO token in Q2 2025. In addition to governance rights, AIAO holders will receive regular dividends, with AlgosOne becoming publicly owned by its token holders.
“We appreciate the recent recognition from major industry players,” said Andera. “But, with the upcoming AIAO token launch and our continued focus on AI trading innovation, we believe we can exceed these valuations.
Andera continued “Rather than a large conglomerate, we want our token holders to own the project, because our priority remains delivering long-term value to our community and investors.”
The AIAO token supply will be capped at 1 billion tokens. The high-profile firms that had sought to acquire AlgosOne have now expressed keen interest in participating in the upcoming sale, and receiving sizable token allocations, further validating the project’s massive market potential.
However, by staying independent, AlgosOne aims to ensure that its technology and ecosystem remain accessible to a global audience. AlgosOne’s leadership is dedicated to offering users and investors a unique opportunity to be part of the next step in the evolution of AI-based finance.
About Algosone.ai
AlgosOne is an AI trading platform at the forefront of AI trading. It combines proprietary algorithms with advanced natural language processing models to analyze vast datasets and predict price trajectories across diverse market sectors. Using its capabilities AlgosOne delivers automated trading solutions for retail investors without trading experience or market dynamics understanding. With its upcoming AIAO token launch, AlgosOne is set to redefine the role of AI in the financial markets.

Kinto, the modular exchange designed to provide secure, compliant, and seamless access to decentralized finance (DeFi), today announced the upcoming listing of its $K token. Scheduled for March 31st, 2025, the token will initially be available on Kinto’s native exchange, Gate.io, MEXC, and Uniswap.
The $K listings mark a major milestone in Kinto’s growth, following a successful token launch that raised $3.84 million from over 2,700 participants. The sale, which used a Dutch auction model—a transparent price discovery mechanism where the bidding starts high and gradually decreases until all tokens are sold—cleared at $15 per token, ensuring fair market valuation by minimizing speculative volatility. Unlike traditional token sales that often prioritize insiders and early investors, this approach allowed for broad community participation at a price determined by market demand. This launch reflects the growing demand for transparent and sustainable token distribution models in an industry often dominated by high-FDV, insider-driven tokenomics.
Kinto’s momentum has also been reinforced by strong institutional backing. Brevan Howard Digital, the digital asset arm of global hedge fund Brevan Howard, recently deployed $20 million into the Kinto ecosystem, signaling confidence in Kinto’s model for compliant, institutional-grade on-chain finance. SkyBridge Capital’s Anthony Scaramucci has also publicly endorsed Kinto, stating: “I’m an early investor and supporter of Kinto through SkyBridge. Kinto’s modular exchange opens up tremendous possibilities for institutional investors to deploy capital on-chain without counterparty risk.”
Kinto’s ecosystem is built to provide a secure, on-chain financial environment while maintaining the fundamental advantages of DeFi. Unlike traditional exchanges, Kinto integrates KYC and AML at the blockchain level, ensuring that institutions and individual users can access decentralized finance in a legally compliant manner. By default, Kinto requires all participants to be KYC verified and continuously runs AML monitoring on transactions across its network. The exchange’s non-custodial smart wallet also provides advanced security features, addressing risks that have plagued centralized platforms such as the recent Bybit hack.
The $K token logo.
Kinto’s tokenomics are designed for transparency and long-term sustainability. Seventy percent of the maximum token supply is allocated to community members, reinforcing a decentralized and equitable distribution model. The $K token plays a critical role in governance, allowing holders to participate in decision-making processes regarding key protocol upgrades, fee structures, and treasury allocations. Additionally, staking incentives provide users with reduced trading fees, priority access to liquidity pools, and enhanced governance privileges, further reinforcing long-term ecosystem growth. In the future, subject to governance, it would be possible for revenue-sharing mechanisms to be enabled, ensuring that token holders would benefit directly from exchange fees and protocol-generated revenue, aligning incentives between users and the network.
With a modular design that allows seamless movement of assets and liquidity across various protocols and exchanges—both centralized and decentralized—Kinto presents a new model for on-chain financial infrastructure. The forthcoming $K token listing exemplifies Kinto’s commitment to financial sustainability, security, and user choice at a time when the broader market is shifting away from speculative tokenomics and toward real utility.
“Kinto is built to enable long-term, sustainable growth in decentralized finance,” said Ramon Recuero, CEO of Kinto. “The $K listing is not just a token launch—it’s proof that fair tokenomics and real financial utility can exist in crypto. This industry needs to move beyond speculative short-term gains and toward building financial infrastructure that genuinely empowers users.”

OCV Labs transformed from zero to five-figure revenue and 1.3k peak onchain daily active users. The close guidance provided by the Fortify Labs team has also helped startups navigate challenges and move in the right direction. akaSwap is a solid example, having pivoted from a web3 game platform to a creative Web3 activation agency. OCV Labs and akaSwap also secured Tezos Foundation funding after meeting key criteria, including growth in metrics like revenue, weekly active users, volume, and community.
This year’s selected projects will receive comprehensive support over a 7-month remote program with three in-person sessions hosted in TZ APAC’s Singapore headquarters. Each startup will have in its corner a mentor with decades of entrepreneurship experience who can provide help in areas such as go-to-market, fundraising, and strategy. The Fortify Labs team will also provide marketing support to amplify the startups’ visibility in front of a vibrant community, and technical expertise to help founders refine their product for market readiness and user adoption. Startups will also have access to partnership support which curates introductions to VCs for fundraising and advisors for growth.
Additionally, each project will receive a $10,000 grant upon milestone completion and stand to receive a potential investment of up to $200,000 more based on revenue growth, weekly active users, volume, and community engagement.
“Fortify Labs represents our commitment to roll up our sleeves and help the next generation of Web3 innovators succeed,” said David Tng, Managing Director at TZ APAC. “We’ve designed this program to provide bespoke mentorship and strategic guidance in the areas early-stage founders need most. We’re excited to see this new group of visionaries transform their ambitious ideas into sustainable, profitable businesses on Tezos and Etherlink.”
This year’s program attracted applicants from diverse sectors including decentralized personalization protocols, online esports platforms, AI rendering networks, and fully collateralized stablecoins. Following a rigorous selection process, the top teams will receive comprehensive support toward profitability.
Fortify Labs complements TZ APAC’s recent ecosystem milestones, which include Quantix Capital’s recent $1M investment partnership for Tezos gaming projects. Web3 enthusiasts will have the chance to discover Fortify Labs projects and get incentivized in the process through TZ Apex, a community rewards program designed to bolster engagement with projects built on Tezos and Etherlink.
