ApeX Omni Weekly Update: Spot Closure and Prediction Markets Expand

Aug 10, 2026

Summary

Two things changed on ApeX Omni this week. Spot trading closed permanently on August 5, and prediction markets expanded from Sports into Politics and Crypto. If you held Spot assets, nothing is lost. USDT has already moved to your Funding Account and other tokens are being returned automatically, with Solana holdings the one case that needs a support ticket. If you never used Spot, the update that matters is that you can now trade election outcomes, Fed rate decisions, and crypto market events on the same account as your perpetuals.

Spot Trading Closed on August 5

All ApeX Omni Spot entry points were disabled at 10:00 AM UTC on August 5, 2026. Trading is no longer available and the product has been removed from the platform. Perpetuals, Protocol Vaults, and everything else on ApeX Omni are unaffected.

Your Assets Are Already on the Way Back

If you left a balance in Spot, here is the short version:

  • USDT: already in your Funding Account. Trade or withdraw it now. Default network is Arbitrum.

  • Ethereum, BSC, and Base tokens: airdropped to your L1 wallet within 5 to 7 business days of the closure. If you registered with an email, these land in your Privy wallet and you will need to export the key to reach them.

  • Solana tokens: open a Discord ticket. Address formats do not match, so support needs to verify you before the airdrop can go out. Single tokens worth under 3 USDT cannot be sent.

  • Referral and Affiliate: unclaimed Spot commission has been merged into your Perp commission balance.

Full details on each case are in the Spot closure announcement.

Prediction Markets Now Cover Politics and Crypto

The Prediction page now runs three top-level categories: Sports, Politics, and Crypto. A new filter helps you narrow down to the markets you care about.

Politics covers the 2026 U.S. midterms, Federal Reserve decisions, and global elections. Crypto covers market events, which is timely with sentiment still in Fear territory and Bitcoin range-bound near $65,000. The next Fed decision lands September 16. You can now price that outcome directly rather than expressing it through a perpetual, and hold both positions against the same collateral.

Markets sync in real time from Polymarket. Some markets involving sensitive content are not displayed on ApeX Omni.

Start trading at omni.apex.exchange/prediction, or read the prediction market guide first.

Fees and Commission Are Unchanged

Same structure as Prediction Spot V1: 1% taker and 0.5% maker on the ApeX Omni side, plus the Polymarket fee. Referrals now include a Prediction Trading Commission line, set at 10% by default.
