Subconsciously, some may think that only paid data holds value, when in fact, many free datasets are also very useful. For example, after each LaunchPool event, Binance releases relevant data that contains market sentiments, fund flows, and traces of the game between whales and retail investors.

We all know that Binance has the best on-chain liquidity, attracting a massive user base and funds. Although we cannot directly access the relevant on-chain data, we can still observe some clues from limited public data.
From Binance Launchpool data, see the current market's

(Figure 1)

Figure 1 is a compilation of all LaunchPool-related data from August 2024 to the present. In 2024, only FDUSD and BNB could participate in LaunchPool, but in 2025, USDC was added, so we can compare the data in two parts.

From the 64th RED period to the 66th GUN period, the number of participants in each period remained relatively stable, but the amount of FDUSD and USDC locked in increased from one period to the next. Since swapping stablecoins on Binance is fee-less, theoretically, all idle stablecoins would have the incentive to participate in yield farming, including USDT. The more stablecoins participate, the more idle buying power exists within the Binance exchange.

At the same time, we also note that in these 3 events in 2025, the combined FDUSD+USDC scale was roughly between 30 billion to 40 billion USD, while in the August to December 2024 events, the quantity of FDUSD was around 15 billion to 20 billion USD, indicating that the funding scale in Q1 2025 is significantly larger than that of 2024. Some may attribute this to the addition of USDC in 2025, but I may have a different interpretation.

(Figure 2)

We can observe a detail: as shown in Figure 2, at the start of each LaunchPool period in 2024, FDUSD had a very high premium. This indicates a high demand for FDUSD at that time. For example, all USDT and USDC holders would convert to FDUSD to participate in mining at that moment, temporarily driving up the FDUSD exchange rate.

However, as the 25-year event began, the premium of FDUSD started to decline, indicating that the demand for FDUSD was not as high as before. The underlying reason is that USDC diverted the demand that was originally for FDUSD. Investors holding USDC do not need to exchange it for FDUSD, and some of the investors holding USDT have also switched to USDC (because after mining ended, USDC is more stable than FDUSD).

In other words, as long as funds are mostly idle, they will participate in LaunchPool. The FDUSD+USDC participants in Year 25 and the FDUSD participants in Year 24 should both be considered as the vast majority of idle funds deposited internally by the exchange. It is not solely because Binance opened a USDC participation channel in Year 25 that led to the significant increase in fund data.

Furthermore, the "per capita lockup amount" in Year 25 Q1 is also higher than in Year 24 November-December, indicating the entry into a stage dominated by whales. This means that the user base with idle purchasing power has become more dominated by "whales."

This also seems to indicate a reality: during November-December of Year 24, more whales held "coins," but by February-March of Year 25, whales held "U" instead. At this point, the market has completed a round of wealth transfer, and at the same time, whales have completed the encirclement of retail investors. They hold a large amount of idle funds and are patiently waiting for the next opportunity.

· Based on the above observations, we can draw several conclusions:

1. The idle funds in the market now are not only not decreasing compared to Year 24 but are increasing, but overall sentiment is cautious, and effective purchasing power has not been formed.

2. The increasing number of participants in LaunchPool indicates that more people have cashed out, but the funds remain in the market and are unwilling to exit, meaning that although the sentiment is cautious, it is far from being completely despairing.

3. The higher per capita lockup amount indicates that idle purchasing power is increasingly controlled by more whales; after a round of wealth redistribution, purchasing power has returned to the hands of whales. They generally believe that the bull market is not over and are therefore still waiting in the market for an opportunity.

The privacy-focused crypto wallet Mixin announced today the launch of its U-based perpetual contract (a derivative priced in USDT). Unlike traditional exchanges, Mixin has taken a new approach by "liberating" derivative trading from isolated matching engines and embedding it into the instant messaging environment.

Users can directly open positions within the app with leverage of up to 200x, while sharing positions, discussing strategies, and copy trading within private communities. Trading, social interaction, and asset management are integrated into the same interface.

Simplified Trading Experience: No KYC Required, Opening a Position in Five Steps

Based on its non-custodial architecture, Mixin has eliminated friction from the traditional onboarding process, allowing users to participate in perpetual contract trading without identity verification.

The trading process has been streamlined into five steps:

· Choose the trading asset

· Select long or short

· Input position size and leverage

· Confirm order details

· Confirm and open the position

The interface provides real-time visualization of price, position, and profit and loss (PnL), allowing users to complete trades without switching between multiple modules.

Social-Native Trading: Strategy and Execution Completed in the Same Context

Mixin has directly integrated social features into the derivative trading environment. Users can create private trading communities and interact around real-time positions:

· End-to-end encrypted private groups supporting up to 1024 members

· End-to-end encrypted voice communication

· One-click position sharing

· One-click trade copying

On the execution side, Mixin aggregates liquidity from multiple sources and accesses decentralized protocol and external market liquidity through a unified trading interface.

By combining social interaction with trade execution, Mixin enables users to collaborate, share, and execute trading strategies instantly within the same environment.

Referral Mechanism: Non-institutional users can receive up to 60% fee split

Mixin has also introduced a referral incentive system based on trading behavior:

· Users can join with an invite code

· Up to 60% of trading fees as referral rewards

· Incentive mechanism designed for long-term, sustainable earnings

This model aims to drive user-driven network expansion and organic growth.

Self-Custody Architecture and Built-in Privacy Mechanism

Mixin's derivative transactions are built on top of its existing self-custody wallet infrastructure, with core features including:

· Separation of transaction account and asset storage

· User full control over assets

· Platform does not custody user funds

· Built-in privacy mechanisms to reduce data exposure

The system aims to strike a balance between transaction efficiency, asset security, and privacy protection.

A New Path for On-Chain Derivatives

Against the background of perpetual contracts becoming a mainstream trading tool, Mixin is exploring a different development direction by lowering barriers, enhancing social and privacy attributes.

The platform does not only view transactions as execution actions but positions them as a networked activity: transactions have social attributes, strategies can be shared, and relationships between individuals also become part of the financial system.

Regulatory Background

Mixin's design is based on a user-initiated, user-controlled model. The platform neither custodies assets nor executes transactions on behalf of users.

This model aligns with a statement issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 13, 2026, titled "Staff Statement on Whether Partial User Interface Used in Preparing Cryptocurrency Securities Transactions May Require Broker-Dealer Registration."

The statement indicates that, under the premise where transactions are entirely initiated and controlled by users, non-custodial service providers that offer neutral interfaces may not need to register as broker-dealers or exchanges.
