Singapore, July 17, 2024 - BlockBeats, a key player in the crypto media landscape, recently interviewed Andrew Weiner, the new Vice President of WEEX's English Market. With extensive experience in the cryptocurrency sector, Andrew shared his journey, the advantages of WEEX, and the platform’s future strategies.
BlockBeats: Can you give a quick overview of your experience in the cryptocurrency industry? I noticed you were the VP at MEXC Global?
Andrew Weiner: I started at iComply Investor Services, developing a patented off-chain cryptographic verification system for securely processing consumer data in compliance with Travel Rule requirements. Later, at MEXC Global, I helped grow the user base from 6 million to 12 million users worldwide by forming strategic partnerships with top project developers and key opinion leaders, significantly enhancing MEXC's market presence.
BlockBeats: Now that you're the VP at WEEX, what do you think sets WEEX apart from other platforms?
Andrew Weiner: The market today is lacking a true turn-key, all-in-one destination for crypto.
BlockBeats: Many people believe that the trading platform market is already saturated. How do you think WEEX is able to attract traffic?
Andrew Weiner: I completely disagree, the industry still has immense global demand and is far from saturated, especially in derivatives trading. Traditional financial players are investing heavily in blockchain, signaling huge potential. WEEX bridges the gaps between traditional finance, centralized finance, and decentralized finance, positioning itself as the go-to platform for millions by the end of 2024.
BlockBeats: WEEX is recently launching its own platform token. What is unique about WXT compared to other platform tokens?
Andrew Weiner: The WEEX community and their passion for sharing our brand is the reason we’ve enjoyed such incredible success to-date. With that in mind, we’ve designed $WXT to make every holder an unlimited partner in the continued growth of our audience, and enjoy the value that will be created along the way - which is a far deeper relationship than our competitors are establishing with their audience.
BlockBeats: What scenarios and potential benefits do users experience when holding WXT?
Andrew Weiner: $
BlockBeats: What gaps in the trading platform market does WEEX plan to fill?
Andrew Weiner: When you go to the conferences and survey the product users in attendance, you will commonly find everyone has an account on up to 4 or 5 platforms. There seems to be a considerable number of points of friction that traders encounter daily in our space.
Until this is consolidated, and consumers are able to develop loyalty to one single product or service provider, an opportunity will exist for a brand like WEEX to be that proverbial 3rd place in a gem hunter’s daily routine. Familiar, reliable, secure, and comfortable - that is WEEX. Everything you need, in one single place, with none of the hassle.
BlockBeats: After FTX, the market seems not to approve of exchanges having their own market makers. Should CEXs have their own market makers?
Andrew Weiner: No, an exchange should not act as its own MM. As an exchange, my primary focus is the user experience, product security, service reliability. There is no room for price-action in that focus. As observed with that specific case you’ve referenced, the MM-dynamic created a conflict of interest, and millions of users are still recovering. As I said on the Mario Nawfal podcast following that event, any incestuous relationship between 2 entities should be avoided,
BlockBeats: lt seems like every exchange has its own on-chain ecosystem, backed by a blockchain. What are WEEX's plans regarding on-chain development?
Andrew Weiner: In the near-future
Since its inception in 2018, WEEX has rapidly established itself as a top cryptocurrency exchange, known for stringent security measures and a user-focused platform. Holding licenses from US and Canadian MSBs, and SVGFSA, WEEX offers a regulated trading environment with 116 spot trading pairs and 225 futures trading pairs.
The WEEX platform token, WXT, offers benefits like over 20% discounts on trading fees, exclusive VIP event access, and participation in platform governance and the WEEX Launchpool. WEEX blends innovative features with a commitment to user satisfaction, making it a distinguished choice in the cryptocurrency market.
