Infinex revises fundraising structure, replaces $5 million raise plan with fair allocation model

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.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…

The post After Solana’s Surge, BlockchainFX Steps In – Where the Next Wave of Crypto Millionaires Will Come From in 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 18 September 2025 | 13:26 What if you could go back in time and grab Solana under $1 before it exploded to hundreds? That kind of regret has created countless crypto millionaire stories—and now history is setting up to repeat. BlockchainFX ($BFX) is shaping up as the best crypto presale of 2025, already live, generating revenue, and rewarding early buyers with daily USDT payouts.
