This week brings major platform enhancements, strategic partnerships, and significant milestones in our ecosystem development. From one-click features to expanding prediction markets, here's everything happening on ApeX.
Buyback Milestone: $9.625M and Counting
Our commitment to value accrual continues delivering results:
$9.625 million worth of APEX tokens bought back to date
$8.25 million currently held in reserve
Consistent execution of our long-term tokenomics strategy
This systematic buyback program reinforces platform sustainability while reducing circulating supply, creating tangible value for long-term holders and active traders alike.
Ape Season 1: Final Sprint for 23M Points
The inaugural Ape Season is entering its final phase:
Started with: 69 million points in the reward pool
Remaining to farm: 23 million points
Time is running out to maximize your share
With over 66% of rewards already distributed, the competition intensifies. Active traders can still earn from the remaining pool, though the window is closing fast. Points accumulate through trading volume, with every position contributing toward your final allocation.
Major Trading Features: One-Click Everything
We've reimagined position management with two powerful features that experienced traders have been requesting:

One-Click Close All
Instantly close your entire portfolio across all markets with a single action. Perfect for:
Risk management during volatile market conditions
End-of-session cleanup for systematic traders
One-Click Reverse
Close your current position and simultaneously open the opposite trade with the same size:
Instant flip from long to short or vice versa
Maintains position size for consistent exposure
Zero delay between closing and reopening
These features aren't just convenience upgrades. They're strategic tools that enable rapid adaptation to market conditions, especially crucial during high-volatility events where seconds matter.
This Week's Market Expansions
MON-USDT Perpetuals Launch
Monad perpetuals went live with up to 50x leverage, bringing one of the most anticipated L1 launches to ApeX traders. The parallel EVM powerhouse has generated massive community interest, and now you can trade the narrative on ApeX Omni.
Fed Chair Prediction Markets
Politics meets perpetuals with two new prediction contracts, both offering 10x leverage:
Kevin Hassett nominated as Fed Chair
Christopher Waller nominated as Fed Chair
Trade your conviction on Trump's monetary policy direction. These markets settle based on the actual nomination, turning political analysis into tradeable opportunities.
Coming Soon: Limitless Partnership
We're thrilled to share our upcoming collaboration with Limitless Exchange, which will bring enhanced prediction market capabilities to ApeX traders.
Limitless is a decentralized prediction market platform on Base network that has already processed over $600 million in trading volume.
This partnership will expand our prediction market offerings beyond simple binary outcomes, bringing sophisticated market mechanisms that allow traders to express nuanced views on everything from asset prices to real-world events.
More details about the integration timeline and specific features will be released soon. Stay tuned for updates as we finalize this exciting collaboration.
AI Trading Arena: Key Takeaways
Our $25,000 AI Trading Arena concluded with surprising insights that challenge everything we thought we knew about algorithmic trading.
The Big Revelations:
Raw data is useless: All three winners preprocessed their data extensively before feeding it to AI
AI can't hold positions: Champions discovered AI models consistently exit trades too early, leaving profits behind
Human-AI partnership wins: Pure automation didn't take the top spot. Winners used hybrid approaches
Platform reliability matters: Black swan risk isn't just market moves, it's your infrastructure failing when you need it most
The most shocking discovery? Our champion never changed his prompt once during the entire competition, while others constantly tweaked. Second place built a three-stage automated pipeline. Third place only trades when both human and AI agree.

Platform Improvements Continue

Newbie Task for Beginners: The lower-left pop-up window will be updated with a close button for easier dismissal.
Blog Reorganization
We've restructured our educational content with new categories:

Foundations: Essential trading concepts
Advanced Concepts: Sophisticated strategies and analysis
This reorganization makes finding relevant content faster while maintaining our commitment to trader education at all levels.

Our team continues working behind the scenes on features we can't announce yet, partnerships in negotiation, and infrastructure upgrades that will take your trading to the next level. Stay tuned, because what's coming next will be worth the wait.
