BingX Labs Invests $2 Million in AlphaX, a Hybrid Trading Pioneer
Pakisan: BingX Labs, the innovation arm of cryptocurrency exchange BingX, today announced its $2 million strategic investment in AlphaX, a high-performance crypto derivatives platform leveraging hybrid on-chain custody and off-chain matching technology to redefine transparency and speed in decentralized trading.
AlphaX has achieved $100 million in daily trading volume within weeks of its February 2026 launch.
