【Blockchain Rhythm】 Recently, industry insiders have been buzzing that a leading exchange has delivered an impressive performance in 2025.

The breakthrough on the regulatory front is the most eye-catching — this exchange became the first crypto-native company to be included in the S&P 500 index, a historic milestone in the industry. More importantly, the SEC voluntarily dropped the lawsuit, and the regulatory environment in Europe and the US has significantly warmed, signaling positive prospects for the entire industry.

On the business side, momentum is also strong. Mergers and acquisitions are frequent — a total of 10 acquisitions throughout the year, including one that set the record for the largest M&A in the crypto industry (acquiring a derivatives trading platform). The number of new assets launched also hit a record high.

Specifically, they introduced a comprehensive product matrix including futures and perpetual contracts, US stock trading and prediction markets, crypto collateralized loans, and integrated DEX trading. They obtained the EU’s MiCA license, and institutional custody assets reached $300 billion, reflecting continuous inflows of institutional funds.

Ecosystem development has also kept pace. The Base network achieved Stage 1 decentralization, with stablecoins, payments, and developer ecosystems all expanding steadily, making the ecosystem map increasingly complete.

This exchange has defined 2025 as the “Year of High-Intensity Delivery,” preparing for the next phase. From regulatory breakthroughs to business innovation and ecosystem expansion, they have essentially covered the core competencies of an exchange.

Being able to enter the S&P 500 is truly incredible; now cryptocurrencies have the endorsement of major corporations. I've always said that regulatory warming is a bullish signal, and now I've been proven right. With a custody amount of 300 billion USD, institutions are really pouring money in. Merging ten times? The rapid expansion pace—is this an attempt to monopolize the entire sector? The SEC dropping the lawsuit is a nuclear-level move; the entire industry is about to take off. Getting the MiCA license is a big deal; Europe is also opening up. But on the other hand, will such rapid expansion create pitfalls? Not many exchanges like this have survived historically. That moment with the S&P 500 was truly historic; if it had happened a few years ago, no one would have dared to imagine it.

The S&P 500 is here, and things are really different now I knew it was time to buy the dip when the SEC dropped the lawsuit, a turning point has arrived 10 mergers and acquisitions? Crazy... The exchange is playing a big game Institutions are managing 300 billion in custody, retail investors, what are you still hesitating for? Perpetual contracts plus US stock trading, such a complete product line is truly excellent MiCA has been secured, Europe is really opening up Honestly, this round of regulatory red envelopes came too quickly, it's hard to believe Mergers and acquisitions derivatives trading volume hit a new high, this wave of consolidation is significant The signal that institutional money is coming in is clear, it will get even crazier later

Wow, the S&P 500 is here. The crypto world has truly turned around. The SEC dropping the lawsuit is a big deal; regulation is no longer a nightmare. Ten mergers and acquisitions are expanding wildly here. Can this pace keep up? $300 billion in custody assets—FOMO among institutions is kicking in. Perpetual contracts, US stocks, prediction markets—doing everything. Is this an all-in move? With all the licenses in place, why hasn't it exploded yet? The windfall is really coming? This round has made a lot of money. Feels like I missed something.
