Mixin, a privacy-focused crypto wallet, announced the launch of its USDT-based perpetual contracts today. According to BlockBeats, Mixin is taking a novel approach by embedding derivatives trading within an instant messaging environment, rather than using isolated matching engines typical of traditional exchanges. Users can open positions with up to 200x leverage directly within the app, sharing holdings, discussing strategies, and following trades within private communities. Trading, social interaction, and asset management are integrated into a single interface. The trading experience is simplified, eliminating the need for KYC, and allowing users to participate in perpetual contract trading through a five-step process: selecting the trading asset, choosing to go long or short, entering position size and leverage, confirming order details, and opening the position. The interface provides real-time visualization of prices, positions, and profit and loss (PnL), enabling users to complete trades without switching between multiple modules. Mixin integrates social features directly into the derivatives trading environment, allowing users to create private trading communities and interact around real-time positions. Features include end-to-end encrypted private groups supporting up to 1,024 people, encrypted voice communication, one-click position sharing, and one-click trade copying. On the execution level, Mixin aggregates liquidity from multiple sources, connecting decentralized protocols and external markets through a unified trading interface. By combining social interaction with trade execution, Mixin enables users to collaborate, share, and execute trading strategies instantly within the same environment. Mixin also introduces a referral incentive system based on trading behavior, allowing users to bind invitation codes and earn up to 60% of trading fee commissions. This model is designed to promote user-driven network expansion and organic growth. The derivatives trading is built on Mixin's existing self-custody wallet infrastructure, featuring separation of trading accounts and asset storage, complete user control over assets, and privacy mechanisms to reduce data exposure. The system aims to balance trading efficiency, asset security, and privacy protection. In the context of perpetual contracts becoming mainstream trading tools, Mixin is exploring different development directions by lowering barriers and enhancing social and privacy attributes. The platform views trading not just as an execution activity but as a networked activity with social attributes, where strategies can be shared and relationships become part of the financial system. Mixin's design is based on a user-initiated, user-controlled model, where the platform neither custodies assets nor executes trades on behalf of users. This approach aligns with a statement from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Trading and Markets issued on April 13, 2026, which suggests that non-custodial service providers offering neutral interfaces may not need to register as broker-dealers or exchanges. Mixin is a decentralized, self-custody privacy wallet aimed at providing secure and efficient digital asset management services. Its core capabilities include asset aggregation, high liquidity access, decentralization, and privacy protection through MPC, CryptoNote, and end-to-end encrypted communication. Mixin has been operating for over eight years, supporting more than 40 blockchains and over 10,000 assets, with over 10 million global users and on-chain self-custody assets exceeding $1 billion.

Binance co-founder Yi He said Bitcoin is the largest decentralized asset and BNB is the largest centralized asset, recommending that investors new to crypto apply Buffett's value-investing principle — buy leading assets in industries you do not yet understand — and start with small allocations. Speaking at the Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026, Yi explicitly said she does not recommend the approach taken by Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) of selling his house to go all-in. She outlined a risk framework distinguishing reversible decisions — where failure still allows a return to the starting point — from irreversible ones, saying the latter require serious caution. Her core retail advice: small allocations, thorough research, limited trading, and ensuring investment costs remain controllable.

Renowned developer and Yuga Labs VP 0xQuit posted on X that Aave's situation is dire and worsening, with multiple liquidity pools reaching 100% utilization, leaving depositors "trapped" and the protocol facing further bad debt risks. If the price of ETH falls, and Aave cannot effectively liquidate (which is currently the case), it will ultimately lead to inefficient liquidation, resulting in even more bad debts. If the problem is not resolved quickly, this situation could snowball.

Binance co-founder Yi He said the company's growth model rejects zero-sum competition, arguing that as Binance's platform scales and its user base expands, the broader industry grows in parallel and Binance, as the sector leader, naturally gains greater commercial and public value. Speaking at the Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026, Yi said the philosophy that runs through CZ's memoir Freedom of Money is to do difficult but correct things, with the expectation that persistence over five to ten years or more will yield significant results. She said when a company creates genuine social value and users are willing to pay for it, earning a fair return is sufficient, and that the path forward is a spiral ascent accompanied by controversy and difficulty.

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, comprehensively outlining Ethereum's five-year technology roadmap, clarifying Ethereum's core value proposition, phased technology upgrade plan, and underlying principles for long-term development.

Binance co-founder Yi He said the company's mission has remained unchanged since 2017 — "we are not building a startup, we are making history" — and that its slogan, "Exchange the world," has never changed. Speaking at the Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026, Yi said concerns about AI disrupting the crypto sector should be placed in broader context: AI is disrupting every industry, not Web3 alone, and that impact is both normal and inevitable. She said Web3's transformation of finance is real and significant, arguing that even incremental improvements in financial efficiency constitute meaningful innovation, and that Binance's approach is one of steady daily progress rather than seeking to achieve everything at once.

Binance Co-CEO He Yi stated that Binance already has 300 million users, but its goal is 3 billion. Binance's long-term goal is not limited to cryptocurrencies, but rather to build a broader platform integrating Web3 and traditional financial assets. Binance is committed to becoming a core part of the global financial infrastructure, with a vision of financial equality and freedom, enabling more people to equally access financial services and wealth opportunities.

On-chain investigator ZachXBT stated that he has never promoted, deployed, or released any Meme coin contract addresses to his followers through personal accounts. He added that he only has a public donation address for funding related work and will sell all tokens sent to that address.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are adopting distinct approaches to address the potential threat posed by quantum computing. According to NS3.AI, the focus is shifting from theoretical discussions to concrete planning. Google has established timelines for implementing post-quantum cryptography. Notably, older Bitcoin addresses with exposed public keys may be more susceptible to quantum attacks compared to unused addresses.

Binance co-founder Yi He said the crypto industry is maturing along the same trajectory as the early internet, which split between counterculture extremes and mainstream commercial companies such as Google and Amazon. Speaking at the Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026, Yi said Binance will firmly follow the mainstream commercial path, and that Wall Street's reversal to embrace blockchain confirms the industry has reached maturity — while also signaling that the early high-return window is narrowing, with rising user complaints about Bitcoin price volatility reflecting that shift. Yi said the technology layer across Web3's Layer 1 and Layer 2 infrastructure is now sufficiently developed, and that the industry's priority should be application development delivering real-world utility, with commercial viability — whether a technology solves a real problem and can attract paying users — as the primary benchmark.

This attack originated from a highly sophisticated state-sponsored hacking group, most likely North Korea's Lazarus Group. The underlying reason is that KelpDAO uses a single DVN (Decentralized Authentication Network) setup.

Sometimes, reality is more absurd than a script. Even if a screenwriter dares to write it that way, the audience might not believe it.

From April 20th to 23rd, the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival was held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Numerous guests from regulatory bodies, the crypto ecosystem, traditional finance, and cutting-edge technology sectors shared their insights. Jinse Finance has compiled the keynote speeches from these speakers.

A US federal judge has dismissed a class-action lawsuit against Caitlyn Jenner, ruling that her JENNER memecoin does not qualify as a security under US law—marking a significant moment for the legal treatment of celebrity-backed crypto tokens.

Hackers stole about $292 million from KelpDAO’s bridge and used it on Aave, leaving over $236 million in bad debt. Justin Sun urged the attacker to negotiate returning the funds.

As AI agents begin to manage real-world systems, who controls the underlying models? Furthermore, blockchain can fill in the gaps in AI's infrastructure in four other ways.

Computing power-based currencies (Tokens) are reshaping the value paradigm in the AI ​​era. From changes in charging methods to the differentiation of cost structures and adjustments to budget systems, we can see how the Token economy is being redefined.

Contactless SaaS reveals a completely new software payment paradigm: the retrieval layer shifts from humans to intelligent agents, and the decision-making cost of service selection shifts from human emotions to quantifiable cost-benefit trade-offs.
