What to know:
- Infinex altered its token sale terms after raising $600,000 in three days, facing criticism for favoring certain wallets.
- The initial $5 million raise plan with a $2,500 per-wallet cap was scrapped in favor of a max-min fair allocation model.
- Despite raising $67 million last year, Infinex struggled to attract participants and acknowledged poor communication of its product benefits.
Trading platform Infinex has changed the terms of its public token sale after raising just about $600,000 over the first three days, drawing criticism from traders who said the move benefited well-positioned wallets.
Infinex is a noncustodial crypto trading platform that aims to simplify access to DeFi and cross-chain markets through a centralized exchange-style interface.

The project had initially pitched a $5 million public raise with a three-day window and a $2,500 per-wallet cap.
In a statement, Infinex acknowledged it “got the sale wrong,” saying the structure tried to satisfy too many groups at once.
“Retail hates the lock. Whales hate the cap. Everyone hates the complexity,” the team wrote, apologizing for the rollout.

Infinex said it has now removed the cap entirely and shifted allocation to a “max-min fair allocation” model — a so-called "water-filling" approach where all allocations rise evenly until supply runs out, with excess contributions refunded. The team said Patron holders will still get preference, but details will be finalized after the sale ends, once total demand is clear.
The one-year lockup remains. Infinex said it still believes lockups create alignment for long-term users and added that it hasn’t done enough to explain its product — positioning itself as a self-custodial app built to feel like a centralized exchange, with swaps, bridging, and perps trading across multiple chains.
But the changes land awkwardly for options. Critics pointed out Infinex raised $67 million last year and still had to scramble mid-sale to spark participation.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market
Commissioned byKuCoin
KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise
The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
