What Weex does

WEEX is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2018 and domiciled in Singapore (with operating presence in Dubai), serving more than 10 million users across 150+ countries. The platform's core product surface is derivatives trading: USDT-margined perpetual futures with leverage up to 400x across 700+ pairs, complemented by spot trading in 1,700+ digital assets, copy trading with an elite-trader profit-share model (up to 20% at Lv. 5), and a newer tokenized TradFi product line covering equities, indices, commodities, and fan tokens. The technology stack is built around a self-serve retail platform (web, iOS, Android, HarmonyOS) with REST and WebSocket APIs for algorithmic and market-making clients, advanced order types (market, limit, trigger, trailing stop), and risk controls including a circuit breaker system and a 1,000 BTC insurance fund.

Revenue is generated almost entirely from transaction fees on spot (0.10% maker/taker) and futures (volume-tiered with VIP discounts and a 50% cap via referral codes), with the native WXT ERC-20 token (10B supply, launched Aug 2023) layered on as a utility and fee-discount mechanism. Customer acquisition is multi-channel: a Star Alliance Partners KOL program, referral codes (3AND, gfek) with up to 30,000 USDT sign-up bonuses, broker and affiliate channels, and event sponsorships including the Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026 (Primary Exhibition Sponsor), Blockchain Life Dubai 2025 ("Most KOL Friendly Exchange"), and Agentic Day Miami. The platform explicitly excludes US, Canada, and sanctioned jurisdictions, and has no disclosed external venture funding beyond a $1.5M 2018 round from CapTable, suggesting the business has been primarily self-funded by operating cash flow.
