Another $100M milestone is coming for Spark Savings.
Deposits into the USDC vault on @okx's X Layer are approaching $100M, up from $3.5M just one week ago.
OKX users can access Spark Savings USDC through On-chain Earn in the app. OKX handles the onchain interaction on @XLayerOfficial, with no wallet setup, bridging or separate DeFi steps required from users.

Spark made more than $4M in net protocol returns in Q3.
Every month of 2026, Spark's revenue model kept working.
And 2026 has been a hard year. DeFi lending spreads compressed sharply in the first half, and the margin on lent capital went negative in Q2. But the machine kept going through all of it.
Here’s why:
→ More than one way to earn: Spark earns from several sources, so when one gets squeezed the business holds.
→ The Spark Liquidity Layer: Spark borrows from @SkyEcosystem at a base rate and deploys that capital across DeFi, keeping the difference. Spark Savings USDT deposits run through it too. After a planned push to grow Savings USDT, returns moved back above funding costs in Q3.
→ Risk first: capital only goes to approved venues, with caps on how much can move and how fast. Capital is held against risk, and liquidity stays ready for withdrawals.
→ More ways in: Savings now runs on more chains and stablecoins, including through @okx and USDT0 on @Arbitrum.
→ New products: the Stablecoin FX Layer, built with @Uniswap and Sky, launched with $150M in USDS liquidity so banks, fintechs and payment companies can swap between stablecoins through one shared pool. Trade volume passed $14B in the first month.
That’s what battle tested means. Several engines, all built to keep earning when conditions turn.
Narratives rotate. Most fade.
What lasts is the protocol still earning when attention moves on.
Nine months into 2026. Still earning.

went to a private dinner couple nights ago, seats were pre-arranged
ended up sitting right beside a calm middle-aged Asian man
people around the table asked him what he did, he simply said he doesn’t do anything and was just there for the food
everyone went back to their own conversations and pretty much ignored him
i ended up spending the next hour having a genuine conversation with him about his travel plans, his stage of life, and a somehow drifted to trading psychology
towards the end, he showed me his wrist, wearing a blue Richard Mille, and said something that stuck with me:
“everyone knows how to compare the price of everything, but very few understand the value of anything”
i think what he was trying to say was that people spend so much time optimizing for cost, they forget what actually matters: their time, experiences, and the people they love
curious, i finally asked who he was before he left
he casually mentioned he might be @DegenSpartan, but that i’d never find out
who tf did i just spend an hour talking to
didn’t even get his real name, but still one of the most insightful conversations i’ve had in a while
also made me realize that sometimes the most interesting person in the room is the one nobody bothers to talk to
& sometimes, the most valuable conversations are the ones you least expect
whoever you are, thank you for that hour of wisdom, learn many insights
Grateful to welcome Circle, Ripple, QRT and SC Ventures as investors in OKX.
We didn’t raise capital because we needed it. We chose to bring in strategic partners who share our long-term vision for stablecoins, payments, institutional markets, and the next generation of financial infrastructure.
13 years in, we’re still early.
More to build. 🚀
NEW: Crypto exchange OKX has raised new funding at a $25 billion valuation from Qube Research & Technologies, Circle, Ripple, and Standard Chartered's SC Ventures, Bloomberg reported.
OKX did not disclose the amount raised, which extends an approximate $200 million March funding round at the same valuation.
某所被盗,我就不落井下石了,我想说,由于这五年来,大多KOL都被交易所收买,KOL和交易所穿同一条裤子,以至于很少听到冷钱包这几个字,很少有普及冷钱包安全,也很少有提把钱提到个人钱包了,私钥这两个字眼只会在每次黑客盗链上资产时才出现...当所有人都认为交易所很安全,这就是最大的行业风险 这迟早会踩大跟头,我犯过的错,会在行业反复上演
交易所,本该像政府一样 放到不可信的位置,默认是作恶,受到多方的监督和制约,但币圈交易所都是独裁的皇帝
这里提醒下:
1、把个人绝大部分币,放个人钱包,最好是硬件钱包,其次是手机钱包,不管冷热,都比放交易所安全
2、将资产风险分散,币、股、实物黄金等分散持有,原则是分散
3、以上两点做不到,就把资产分散到三个大所
风险控制,我认为和资产规模没有关系,风控是地基,如果地基不牢,不论你资产规模多大,都要还回去,这都是我的血泪经验😭

CoinEx is shutting down, but its hot wallet system remains highly advanced and is worth learning from for others in the industry.
We introduced an MPC-based dual-signature scheme for our hot wallets to eliminate single points of failure. Our infrastructure is split into two systems run by completely independent teams: the business system and the wallet system. Each holds one private key, and every withdrawal or transfer must pass substantive risk review by both, in real time. If either system is compromised, assets still cannot be stolen.
The hard part is that the wallet signing process has to be implemented independently, rather than relying on each node's native mechanism, which requires extensive re-engineering. It took us over a year to retrofit the vast majority of the nearly 300 chains supported by CoinEx, one by one.

So many people with some money or some superficial achievement in the material world think they are on top of their world while they have not even begun yet:
they think that: travelling, having lots of toys, material things, making clever logic arguments, having a large network, means something. But they have zero idea, literally zero idea who is living their life nor the subtle forces that push their sense of self around
energy, consciousness, intuition, feeling, turning inside, that is where real maturity is grown and true wealth/life experience is found
we see it with countless influencers or famous people and rich people:
only outside
never inside
and also with all other non famous or non wealthypeople:
only outside
never inside
in short, one can see it in everyone
so again, feel free to go against 99% of the human herd, you might actually learn something useful
王者荣耀, 致敬。
Dear CoinEx Community,
Today, I am announcing that CoinEx will cease operations and begin an orderly wind-down.
First, what matters most: your assets are safe. CoinEx’s reserve ratio exceeds 100%, and every user asset is fully backed and available for withdrawal. Withdrawals are open starting today and will remain open until December 22, 2026. Certain tokens may take slightly longer to process while funds are moved between cold and hot wallets, but every withdrawal request within the withdrawal period will be honored and processed.
CoinEx officially went live on December 22, 2017. Exactly nine years later, on December 22, 2026, the platform will be formally closed. Nine years is a long time in crypto. Together, we lived through multiple bull and bear cycles, witnessed the rise and fall of countless projects, and watched many of our peers leave the market in one form or another.
After much reflection, I have come to accept a hard truth. CoinEx did not become one of the industry’s leading exchanges, and the security and compliance risks of running a crypto exchange have become increasingly difficult to contain. Revenues can decline, responsibility does not. Carrying unlimited risk for limited revenue is no longer a rational choice. That said, CoinEx has survived nine years in one of the most volatile and unforgiving industries, weathered every storm, and is leaving intact, and with dignity. We may not have won the race, but we are finishing with honor.
On CET: CoinEx will buy back CET at its initial listing price of 0.005 USDT per token, with no cap on quantity. To every CET holder who has supported us over the years, thank you. CET represents your belief in CoinEx and, for many of you, your belief in me personally. I am sorry that we were not able to create the long-term value we once hoped CET would deliver. The least we can do now is bring that chapter to a responsible conclusion.
I did seriously consider selling CoinEx. Ultimately, I decided against it. Users entrusted their assets to CoinEx because they trusted the platform and, in many cases, trusted me personally. I did not feel that handing the platform and that trust to a new owner was the right way to end this journey. A clean ending is the right ending.
Nine years, millions of users. I did not turn CoinEx into the “great” exchange I once hoped it would become. But I can give it a decent ending: making sure users can withdraw their assets in full, giving my employees a dignified farewell, and providing CET holders with a clear and responsible conclusion. This is the best ending I can give CoinEx.
To everyone who traded with us, built with us, and stood by us through the hardest days of this market, thank you. It has been a privilege to walk this road with you.
To the CoinEx team, thank you for building this platform with me, for carrying it across every cycle, and now for seeing it through to the very last day.
For detailed arrangements, please refer to the official announcement: coinex.com/en/announcements/…
Thank you all for nine years of trust.

1. 我不认识这个人,也不知道他是不是 OKX 前员工。
2. 但他是不是 OKX 前员工,其实并不重要。任何一家公司的前员工,甚至未经授权的现员工,都不能代表这家公司。请大家只认官方渠道、官方账号和正式授权。
3. 绝大多数高收益骗局,利用的都是人性里的贪婪。很多时候,你惦记的是别人承诺给你的收益,骗子惦记的却是你的全部本金。
不要因为遇见所谓“大佬”或者有“内部身份”的人,就产生不切实际的贪婪。
有些人之所以能成为所谓“大佬”,未必是因为能力有多强,也可能只是因为底线更低、镰刀更锋利。
真正的大佬,往往不混江湖。你大概率也不会轻易遇见。
徐老板@star_okx ,子时到底是不是 OKX 前员工 @silverfang88 。 靠着这个身份到处坑蒙拐骗大几百万。如果不是来个 okx 的人澄清一下

RLUSD Expands Liquidity and Distribution Through the Spark Stablecoin FX Layer
@Ripple’s RLUSD joins Sparks Stablecoin FX Layer: the liquidity network that has processed more than $10B in cumulative volume since launching on 25th June 2026.
Joining Paypal’s PYUSD and Tethers USDT, RLUSD expands the Stablecoin FX layer on @Uniswap V4, with RLUSD/USDS processing more than $600M in its first week, and Spark supported USDS pairs accounting for over 50% of Ethereum stable-to-stable volume on Uniswap during August.
Together with @SentoraHQ, RLUSD expands the FX Layer’s shared liquidity network, connecting stablecoins through USDS while enabling liquidity to remain productive when not required for swaps.
More stablecoins. Deeper shared liquidity. More efficient capital.

⚡很难想象,在整个 DeFi 都开始收缩的时候,Spark @sparkfinance 反而成为少数还在扩张的协议之一——
1)DeFi 总 TVL 下降了 23.5%,但 Spark TVL 增长了 16.4%;
2)主要协议的活跃借贷下降了 25.5%,但 Spark 的活跃贷款增长了 81%。
牛市增长很容易,那个阶段很多协议看起来都很繁荣。
但熊市中还能做到这一点的话,那就确实说明市场对Spark的稳定和可信有真实需求。
至少短期内,我还没看到比Spark更好更全面的模式!
Over the past three months, DeFi contracted across the board.
Spark was the exception, posting notable growth across all major categories.
- TVL: Spark TVL grew 16.4% while total DeFi TVL fell 23.5%
- Lending: Spark active loans grew 81% while across major lending protocols’ active loans declined 25.5%
- Savings & Allocation: Spark TVL on Ethereum grew 19.2% while major yield protocols declined 21%
A single metric moving up can be easily gamed. But when every part of the system grows in tandem, that's virtually impossible to manipulate. That is exactly what sets Spark apart from its competitors.
Across the same stretch, Spark ended larger on every line while the market contracted on each.

with Spark and usds on uniswap, stablecoin issuers can have deep liquidity that is 1-hop away from a growing network of assets including usdc, usdt, and pyusd
just like ethereum is neutral settlement infra for transactions, Spark brings neutral shared liquidity for stablecoins
Introducing the Stablecoin FX Layer.
Every bank, fintech and payment provider is launching stablecoins. But every new stablecoin fragments liquidity.
Today, Spark introduces the Stablecoin FX Layer, built on @Uniswap v4, a shared liquidity infrastructure that allows stablecoins to access shared liquidity instead of building isolated pools.
The initial deployment brings approximately $150M of liquidity to Uniswap v4 across the first USDS/PYUSD and USDS/USDT pools.
This is just the beginning.
