  • Liminal Launches Liminal Prime for Institutional OTC and Stablecoin Liquidity

    Hong Kong, Hong Kong, September 2nd, 2026, FinanceWire

    New suite of standalone products gives institutions principal OTC dealing and LP connectivity alongside Liminal’s existing wallet and key-management infrastructure 

    Today, Liminal, a provider of institutional digital asset wallet and key-management infrastructure, announced the launch of Liminal Prime, an enterprise software suite designed to provide stablecoin liquidity connectivity. It is built exclusively to enable locally licensed exchanges, financial institutions, payment providers, fintechs, market makers, corporate treasuries and OTC trading desks to access principal-to-principal OTC dealing and LP connectivity alongside Liminal’s existing wallet and key-management infrastructure. Liminal’s technology is delivered strictly as a tech infrastructure solution to authorised entities responsible for their own local regulatory compliance. 

    As cross-border payments, tokenized assets and enterprise blockchain applications move from pilot projects into production deployments, financial institutions increasingly need trading and liquidity infrastructure designed to integrate with the governance and compliance controls institutions have already established. Liminal Prime was built to address that gap. 

    For many institutions, secure wallet infrastructure is no longer the primary challenge. As digital asset operations mature, attention is shifting toward trading, liquidity access, and operational efficiency. Liminal Prime has been developed to address this next phase of institutional adoption.

    This launch marks the next phase of Liminal’s evolution as an institutional partner, expanding its core wallet and key-management offering with OTC and liquidity connectivity. Each product operates as an independent module, licensed and deployed separately, giving institutions the flexibility to adopt what fits their operational and regulatory requirements, without displacing existing infrastructure 

    Liminal Prime is built by the team behind Liminal’s institutional wallet infrastructure and key-management infrastructure, which has processed more than US$100 billion in on-chain transactions across more than 20 blockchain networks for institutions in over 12 countries. 

    The products have been shaped by direct engagement with the licensed exchanges, payment companies, financial institutions and digital asset businesses that form Liminal’s client base. What those clients identified consistently was a common operational gap: institutional-grade trading and liquidity access that works within, not alongside, their existing governance and compliance frameworks. 

    “What we keep hearing from institutions, across markets, is that the wallet question is largely settled. The conversation has moved on. They are now asking how they actually operationalise digital assets at scale — how they trade, how they manage liquidity, and how they do all of that without introducing new counterparty risk or compliance gaps. Liminal Prime is built to close that gap. We have the relationships and the trust already in place. This is a natural next step.” Rajesh Sabari, Chief Commercial Officer, Liminal 

    Liminal Prime comprises three products, each addressing a distinct institutional operating requirement: 

    White-Glove OTC supports high-value, complex, and time-sensitive block trades through a dedicated dealing desk. A desk reaches Liminal directly, gets a price, and confirms the trade; no automated flow, a human on the other end for every transaction. Where regulatory frameworks permit, Liminal acts as principal counterparty for its own account on every trade, buying and selling digital assets. Designed for licensed institutions where transaction size, confidentiality and tailored workflow requirements are paramount. 

    Electronic OTC (eOTC) provides GUI- and API-driven access to streaming and firm quotes for organisations managing recurring, high-frequency digital asset transaction flows at scale. A GUI and API connection enables automated, always-on pricing; a web platform provides a self-serve, screen-based experience for systematic dealing without a manual conversation for every trade. Subject to applicable local licensing, Liminal acts as principal counterparty for its own account.

    Bridge is a technology platform that gives institutions a single screen or API to request quotes from, and trade directly with, liquidity providers they have separately onboarded with and been approved by. Liminal is not the counterparty to the trade, does not operate an exchange, brokerage or trading venue, and takes no custody of assets. Liminal’s role is limited to routing quote requests, displaying prices and supporting communication between the two parties; the trade and its settlement happen directly between the institution and its chosen liquidity provider, off platform, under their own bilateral agreement.

    Across all three products, Liminal Prime delivers configurable reporting, audit-ready workflows and integration with Liminal’s wallet and key-management infrastructure. The products support multiple blockchain networks and major digital asset pairs, providing the transparency, governance and operational controls that institutions require. 

    “The time for discussing institutional digital assets in theory is over. Institutions now need practical solutions that can be deployed against real treasury, payment and liquidity requirements. Whether you are managing stablecoin flows, entering a new market or looking for more efficient execution, bring us the challenge. Liminal Prime is ready to help you put into action.” Clarence Leong, Senior Manager – Institutional Markets, Liminal

    Liminal Prime is the first step in a broader infrastructure strategy. As institutional participation in digital asset markets deepens across tokenization, cross-border payment infrastructure and enterprise treasury management, Liminal will continue building out its product offering. The company’s objective is to serve as a trusted infrastructure partner for licensed institutions at every stage of their digital asset operations, from wallet and key-management infrastructure to OTC and liquidity connectivity solutions. 

    Important Notice 

    White-Glove OTC and Electronic OTC (eOTC) are restricted and unavailable to entities operating or residing in the UAE, India, Singapore and Taiwan, as well as any jurisdiction where local laws prohibit their use. Bridge is available subject to local regulatory requirements. Note: Users are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all local regulations before attempting to access any of our services.

    About Liminal Prime 

    Liminal Prime is a suite of institutional OTC and liquidity connectivity products comprising three distinct offerings: White-Glove OTC, Electronic OTC and Bridge. Where regulatory frameworks permit, White-Glove OTC and eOTC are principal-to-principal dealing products in which Liminal acts as counterparty for its own account. Bridge is a technology platform through which institutions can request quotes from, and trade directly with, approved and licensed liquidity providers of their choosing; the legal trade is formed and settled bilaterally between the institution and its chosen LP under their own agreements. Each product is operated and assessed independently and is designed to complement existing institutional infrastructure. Institutions may adopt individual products independently, based on their operational and regulatory requirements.

  • Ourbit SuperCEX Launches “Cosmic Wheel Season 3. Oracle Realm” on September 2 with 3M USDT Prize Pool

    Singapore, Singapore, September 2nd, 2026, FinanceWire

    Ourbit SuperCEX has unveiled the third installment of its flagship quarterly campaign, “Cosmic Wheel,” under the theme “Oracle Realm.” The event runs from September 2, 04:00 UTC through September 23, 03:59 UTC, 2026, with a total prize pool of 3,000,000 USDT.

    The campaign has two main sections: The Fortune Draw, a solo card-collection format with a 500,000 USDT pool, and The Futures War, a team competition with a 2,500,000 USDT pool. The Fortune Draw combines daily tasks with random rewards, while The Futures War organizes users into squads competing on aggregate futures trading volume. Together they cover the full user spectrum on Ourbit, from newcomers to seasoned traders.

    The Fortune Draw Returns: 500,000 USDT Prize Pool

    Building on the first two seasons, “Oracle Realm” adds tarot and mystical elements to the visual world. Cards are named after the six letters O, U, R, B, I, and T; collecting all six counts as a complete set that qualifies the user for pool distribution.

    The 500,000 USDT pool has two components. The 300,000 USDT card-collection pool runs across three weekly phases of 100,000 USDT each (Phase 1: Sep 2 to 9; Phase 2: to Sep 16; Phase 3: to Sep 23, all UTC). Each phase pays out by the formula: (a user’s completed sets / all users’ total completed sets) x that phase’s pool. The more sets collected, the larger the share.

    A separate 200,000 USDT pool covers random draw rewards. Every draw guarantees a letter card, with a chance of additional USDT, futures trial bonuses, and other prizes credited within 24 hours.

    Draws come from several daily task tracks (reset at 16:00 UTC). Futures Trading offers up to 17 draws per day, tiered from 1K to 500K USDT in daily volume. Invite Friends & Earn Draws gives 1 draw per qualifying friend, up to 5 friends. Futures Balance provides up to 2 draws per day based on balance thresholds, and Predict & Earn Card Draws adds 1 draw per day via Prediction Market activity. In addition, a new user bonus grants 1 draw for a 50 USDT net deposit and 1 more at 1,000 USDT in futures trading volume, for users registering during the event.

    The Futures War: 2,500,000 USDT Prize Pool

    The Futures War is the season’s marquee event, with a 2,500,000 USDT prize pool. Teams compete on aggregate futures trading volume, and the top 50 teams share the pool. Each team needs at least 5 members (captain plus 4). Any team that falls short when the competition begins is automatically disbanded, and its members are reassigned to other teams by the system. The pool unlocks progressively with total participant trading volume, rather than being fixed.

    At full unlock, the champion team earns up to 325,000 USDT. Since team captains take an exclusive 20% share, the champion team captain earns up to 65,000 USDT, which is also the top individual reward across the competition.

    This tiered mechanism ties actual pool disbursement to community participation. The more the community engages, the closer the released amount moves toward the 2,500,000 USDT ceiling, and the more rewards ultimately flow to users. Compared with a static pool announcement, this design lets the payout scale together with the community.

    Timeline at a Glance

    The campaign spans 22 days across card collection, team formation, and the futures competition. Key dates (all UTC):

    • Registration Period: Aug 31, 04:00 to Sep 23, 03:59
    • Captain Registration: Sep 2, 04:00 to Sep 8, 03:59
    • Fortune Draw Phase 1: Sep 2, 04:00 to Sep 9, 03:59
    • Fortune Draw Phase 2: Sep 9, 04:00 to Sep 16, 03:59
    • Futures War Kick-Off: Sep 9, 04:00
    • Fortune Draw Phase 3: Sep 16, 04:00 to Sep 23, 03:59
    • Campaign end: Sep 23, 03:59

    Card-collection and Futures War rewards will be credited to winners’ Ourbit accounts within 7 business days after the campaign closes. Random draw rewards are credited within 24 hours of winning.

    Ourbit Runs a Million-Dollar User Rewards Campaign Every Quarter

    From Super Cup 2026 earlier this year to the summer Puzzle Alliance campaign, and now Cosmic Wheel Season 3, Ourbit has maintained a steady cadence of one million-dollar-scale user rewards event per quarter. According to official data, Ourbit’s daily futures trading volume reaches billions of dollars, with over 1 million cumulative users across more than 100 countries. The 3,000,000 USDT pool of this campaign is in line with the platform’s trading volume.

    Over the longer arc, “Cosmic Wheel” has become an established IP within Ourbit’s quarterly user operations, iterating continuously on visuals and gameplay. Season 1 revolved around a cosmic wheel, Season 2 extended into astrology and fate imagery, and Season 3, “Oracle Realm,” introduces tarot and mysticism. As competition among crypto exchanges enters a more refined stage of user acquisition and retention, the ability to sustain a proprietary campaign IP is likely to become a meaningful dimension of CEX brand competition going forward.

    About Ourbit

    Ourbit takes “Trade Everything” as its core strategy, deeply integrating the three major trading scenarios of CEX x DEX x TradFi—allowing users to trade innovative assets such as cryptocurrencies, tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, forex, Super IPO, and Prediction Markets 24/7 with just one App and one account.

    As of now, Ourbit’s global user base has surpassed 1 million, covering 100+ countries and regions. It ranks #27 in Spot and #20 in Derivatives on CoinMarketCap, and #18 in Spot on CoinGecko with a Trust Score of 8/10, with over $1 billion in 24-hour spot trading volume and daily derivatives trading volume reaching billions of dollars. With ultra-low industry fees (0 fees for Spot), industry-leading listing speed, and deep liquidity, Ourbit has listed 800+ crypto assets and 90+ traditional assets.

    Ourbit has established partnerships with 100+ projects / partners such as BNB Chain, Solana Foundation, and Paxos, and has sponsored major industry events like Taipei Blockchain Week. In terms of security, Ourbit has passed advanced penetration testing and authoritative audits by Web3 security firm Hacken, established partnerships with industry-leading security teams like SlowMist, and provides publicly verifiable 1:1 Proof of Reserves (PoR). Layered with industry-standard infrastructure such as cold wallet storage, 2FA, and anti-phishing codes, a dedicated technical and security team composed of blockchain security experts with years of anti-hacking experience ensures the safety of user assets.

  • easyMarkets Expands Commodity Offering with 24/7 Gold, Silver and Oil Trading

    Limassol, Cyprus, September 2nd, 2026, FinanceWire

    New Gold24, Silver24 and Oil24 instruments give clients access to three major commodities around the clock. 

    easyMarkets has expanded its multi-asset offering with the launch of Gold24, Silver24 and Oil24, giving clients the ability to trade Gold, Silver and Oil CFDs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 

    The launch comes as Gold and Oil continue to attract significant trading activity among easyMarkets clients. Gold was the platform’s most traded instrument in Q2 2026, while Crude Oil ranked second, with Oil also emerging as one of the quarter’s defining markets. Heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East contributed to significant volatility and increased trading activity across the energy sector during the quarter. 

    The market activity highlights how developments affecting commodities can emerge outside conventional trading hours, from geopolitical events and economic developments to changes in global energy markets. With 24/7 access, clients can monitor and manage their positions as developments in these markets occur, rather than being limited to traditional trading schedules. 

    “Markets don’t stop moving when traditional trading hours end. Extending access to Gold, Silver and Oil gives greater flexibility to respond to developments as they happen, while making risk management even more important,” said Giannis Nikola, Chief Risk Officer at easyMarkets. 

    The new instruments provide around-the-clock access to: 

    • Gold24: Gold, the most traded instrument on the easyMarkets platform in Q2 2026 and a market closely watched during periods of economic and geopolitical uncertainty. 
    • Silver24: Silver, a major precious and industrial metal influenced by both investment demand and its broad industrial use. 
    • Oil24: Oil, the second most traded instrument on the platform in Q2 2026 and a key global commodity whose prices can respond rapidly to changes in supply, demand and geopolitical conditions. 

    Gold24, Silver24 and Oil24 are available through easyMarkets web and app as well as TradingView, alongside existing trading and risk-management features, including Guaranteed Stop Loss with No Slippage* and Negative Balance Protection. 

    The launch further strengthens easyMarkets multi-asset offering, expanding access to three major commodity markets as developments unfold regardless of the time or day. 

    To learn more and trade the new instruments, users can visit easy-markets.com. 

    * Guaranteed Stop Loss with No Slippage is available exclusively on the easyMarkets Web & App platform and TradingView. Activate it with a wider spread for complete risk control. 

    About easyMarkets 

    easyMarkets, founded in 2001, is an award-winning global broker. One of the first to offer an online experience with innovative risk management tools, including Guaranteed Stop Loss with No Slippage and easyTrade. easyMarkets provides its sizeable clientele with a streamlined, accessible, and flexible trading experience.

    • Silver24: Silver, a major precious and industrial metal influenced by both investment demand and its broad industrial use. 
    • Oil24: Oil, the second most traded instrument on the platform in Q2 2026 and a key global commodity whose prices can respond rapidly to changes in supply, demand and geopolitical conditions.

  • Aster and World Liberty Financial Launch USD1 RWA Boost: Phase 1, Offering 125M $WLFI + 6.25M USD1 in Rewards

    George Town, British Virgin Islands, September 1st, 2026, Chainwire

    Aster, the privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, today announced the kickoff of USD1 RWA Boost: Phase 1 with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), featuring 125,000,000 $WLFI and 6,250,000 USD1 in rewards.

    The campaign builds on AOS-2, Aster’s earlier expansion of its Aster Open Standards (AOS) framework from spot markets to perpetuals.

    Leonard, CEO at Aster, said: “AOS-2 is turning Aster from a decentralized perp exchange into an open infrastructure layer where anyone can launch and operate their own perpetual markets on top of Aster Chain. The first USD1 RWA perpetuals show that model is already working.”

    AOS-2: A Published Standard for Perpetual Listings

    AOS-2 is Aster’s standardized, onchain framework for initiating perpetual market listings, enabling projects to propose new markets through a transparent and automated process.

    Applicants stake 1 million $ASTER, locked for four years with no early exit, before the proposal goes to an onchain validator vote. If approved, Aster’s risk team configures the market and the perpetual can go live as early as T+1; if rejected, the stake is returned in full. 

    Listing access runs on published onchain rules, while leverage and other trading parameters stay under Aster’s risk controls, letting Aster bring new markets to traders faster without giving up risk management.

    USD1 RWA Boost Phase 1: 125M $WLFI + 6.25M USD1 in Rewards

    The campaign runs from August 31 through December 31, 2026, covering SPCX/USD1, CL/USD1, XAU/USD1, SNDK/USD1, SKHYNIX/USD1, and MU/USD1. 

    Users earn Trading Points through taker volume on eligible USD1 pairs, which determine their share of the USD1 reward pool, while Open Interest (OI) Points are earned by holding eligible positions and determine their share of the $WLFI reward pool. Traders using Single Asset Mode with USD1 as collateral receive a 2x boost on OI Points. Rewards are calculated across weekly epochs and distributed the following week.

    “When real-world assets trade onchain, the settlement asset matters as much as the market itself. Perpetuals on gold, energy, and equities, all denominated in USD1, give traders one dollar instrument across every one of these markets, and that is what stablecoins were built to do. We are supporting these markets because this is where onchain market structure is heading, and Phase 1 is only the start,” said Zach Witkoff, Co-Founder and CEO at World Liberty Financial.

    Building the Frontier of Onchain Trading

    AOS-2 gives Aster a repeatable, onchain path for bringing new markets to the platform, and the first USD1 RWA perpetual listings show that path is already at work. Paired with the ecosystem support from Aster and WLFI, the launch turns a new listing framework into real trading activity from day one.

    As more real-world and crypto-native assets move onchain, Aster aims to become a leading venue for bringing new asset markets onchain. The map gets bigger from here.

    About Aster

    Aster is a privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, with unique features like Hidden Orders to protect user trading activity. It pioneers the frontier of on-chain trading through perpetual futures, spots, and earn products for top-trending assets, including RWAs, memes, and core crypto markets. It is powered by Aster Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain built to power the future of decentralized finance.

    Users can learn more about Aster on the official website or follow Aster on X.

    *Disclaimer: Eligible pairs, reward parameters, and campaign rules are subject to change during the campaign. Please refer to the official campaign page for the latest eligible pair list and campaign details. Trading cryptocurrencies and leveraged products involves significant risk and may result in the loss of capital.

  • Alkemya Metacore Secures $50M via Tokenised Equity to Scale Nickel Energy and Security Tech

    London, London, September 1st, 2026, Chainwire

    ALKEMYA METACORE SCSp SECURES INITIAL USD 50 MILLION INVESTMENT AHEAD OF LISTING OF TOKENISED EQUITY NICKEL OFFERING

    Alkemya Luxembourg S.à.r.l. (“Alkemya”), the sponsor, is pleased to announce that Alkemya Metacore SCSp has secured USD 50 million in a pre-launch capital raise for its precision industrial nickel wire business backed by Class 1 nickel wire. It is announcing the sale of additional ALKN tokens in a new tranche (the “Token”) at USD 1.0 per Token. 

    The offer, which is being arranged by Hanover Square Capital (UK) Ltd, will take place on Bitfinex Securities. The offer is available to institutional and professional investors and will close on 15 October 2026.

    The Tokens are issued by Alkemya Metacore SCSp (“Alkemya Metacore”), a special limited partnership based in Luxembourg, which is registered as an Issuer with CNAD (National Commission of Digital Assets) in El Salvador. 

    Alkemya Metacore is a Luxembourg-based investment and operating platform focused on the industrial development, commercialisation, and financial structuring of high-technology metals. It owns approximately 7 million metres of 99.99% ultra-pure nickel wire with 0.025 mm diameter, which has been independently verified and valued at approximately USD 1.64 billion. The asset is held in institutional custody in Lugano, Switzerland.

    Alkemya will use part of the initial capital raise and further funds raised in additional tranches to invest working capital in Alkemya Metacore to finance its commercialisation strategy of transforming its ultra-pure wire into engineered mesh products tailored to high-growth applications across seven sectors: EMI shielding, aerospace and defence, marine and desalination, power and industrials, semiconductors, green hydrogen and rare/precious metals recovery. 

    The successful capital raise, before secondary market listing, represents a major milestone for the offering and demonstrates confidence in the underlying exposure to high-purity nickel and the structure of the issue. The Token affords investors a combination of an asset-backed investment and a thematic play on energy transition and electronic security technologies.

    The listing on Bitfinex Securities of the Token will enable Alkemya to leverage tokenisation to access a wider pool of global investors and be part of a regulated, 24/7 trading venue.

    The Tokens aim to provide long-term investment value linked to real-world applications and technology. 

    Cash distributions will be governed by a strict waterfall that first returns investor capital in full, cumulative distributions equal to a 6% per annum compound interest calculated annually (i.e., the preferred return) on the investor capital at any time outstanding, from the date of payment of the same up to the date of final repayment of the invested capital and an additional 80/20 profit split with a carry partner in favour of Token holders from the commercial business. 

    Carlo Guido Della Peruta, Manager of the General Partner of Alkemya Metacore, commented: “Securing this initial investment is a significant milestone for Alkemya and validates both the quality of our asset and the strength of our commercialisation strategy. We chose to list on Bitfinex Securities because tokenisation offers us access to a genuinely global investor base within a regulated framework, and because it reflects the innovative approach we are taking across all aspects of our business. This raise will allow us to begin transforming our nickel wire asset into high-value engineered products serving some of the fastest-growing sectors in the global economy, and we look forward to welcoming further investors as the listing progresses.” 

    Jesse Knutson, Head of Operations at Bitfinex Securities, commented: “Bitfinex Securities exists to connect exciting investment opportunities with a broader and deeper investor base, giving more people access to investments that were previously out of reach and giving businesses access to a wider pool of capital. Alkemya Metacore will represent yet another example of how we’re using blockchain technology to bring previously inaccessible asset classes to market within stringent regulatory guardrails, and Alkemya’s initial $50 million capital raise is a sign of appetite for this exciting opportunity.”

    Arvinder Sood, CEO and Director at Hanover Square Capital (UK) Ltd, said: “Hanover Square Capital is delighted to announce this transaction in collaboration with Bitfinex Securities and its successful pre-launch close of USD 50 million investment, which not only underscores the evolving direction of global capital markets but also establishes a compelling foundation for a groundbreaking transaction with the launch of ALKN tokens. This milestone reflects a broader structural shift in how financial assets are created, accessed, and exchanged, as traditional frameworks increasingly converge with digital innovation. By embracing tokenised equity, the transaction highlights a more efficient, transparent, and accessible model for capital formation, one that is better aligned with the demands of modern investors and issuers alike, with the capacity to trade on a peer-to-peer basis.

    Hanover Square Capital believes that this transaction not only validates that trajectory but also signals the growing importance of blockchain-enabled solutions in redefining how assets are issued, managed, and traded on a global scale.”

    Bitfinex Securities provides a regulated venue for the issuance and trading of tokenised securities, combining blockchain technology with regulated market access for issuers and eligible investors.

    The offering was advised by the following law firms: CMS DeBacker in Luxembourg (as regards Luxembourg law aspects), Dentons El Salvador (as regards El Salvador law aspects), Foley and Lardner in the US (as regards US law aspects), and CNPLaw LLP in Singapore (as regards Singapore law aspects). Winston Taylor acted for Bitfinex Securities. The Edison Group advised on investor relations and issued a pre-IPO research note. The ALKN tokens will be available for trading across three regulated exchanges: Bitfinex Securities, AGX (operated by LabyrinthX Technologies Pte Ltd, a company in the Hydra X group) and Archax Ltd. HydraX Digital Assets Pte. Ltd. is the custodian and distribution partner in Asia, with Archax playing a similar role in the UK. Scytale, the technology firm, is providing onboarding technology services for compliance to Alkemya Metacore under Luxembourg and EU law.
