Phemex Astral Trading League (PATL) Goes Live, Building a Sustainable Seasonal Trading Progression System

APIA, Samoa, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Phemex, a user-first crypto exchange, unveils Phemex Astral Trading League (PATL), a standing constellation-themed competition framework that reframes how crypto derivatives contests operate. Rather than running periodic promotional futures trading races, the exchange has consolidated its recurring daily, weekly, and monthly competitions into a structured, season-based league designed for continuity.

Phemex Astral Trading League (PATL) Goes Live, Building a Sustainable Seasonal Trading Progression System

Trading competitions are common, but most reward short-term volume rather than skill development. PATL was designed as a progression-based league that benefits traders of all levels. By integrating daily ROI rankings, weekly missions, and monthly leaderboards, it recognizes efficiency, consistency, and strategy, not just capital scale. Smaller accounts can compete on performance percentage, while experienced traders are rewarded for disciplined execution. By diversifying competitive pathways, Phemex reduces reliance on pure turnover races and introduces multiple performance narratives within a single system.

Each zodiac season features a unique design, introducing distinct tools, mechanics, incentives, and educational focus aligned with different trading archetypes. Adventure seasons may spotlight advanced instruments with leverage education, while analytical seasons emphasize structured strategy, encouraging sustainable growth over volume-driven participation.

The inaugural season, PATL: Aquarius Season, draws conceptually from traits associated with Aquarius — logic, independence, and systems-oriented thinking. Its structure emphasizes ROI performance and consistency over high-frequency execution or directional market dependency. The season carries a total prize allocation of up to $450,000 and signature physical rewards including a Tesla Model 3 and AirPods Max.

Federico Variola, CEO of Phemex, framed PATL as infrastructure rather than marketing. “The Phemex Astral Trading League is designed around the trader, not just the transaction. Instead of rewarding short-term volume spikes, we’re creating a system that recognizes progress, consistency, and skill development at every level. Whether someone is just starting out or already trading at scale, the goal is to provide a structured path to improve strategy, discipline, and experience over time. We want traders to grow with the platform — building knowledge, refining execution, and advancing through seasons based on capability, not just size. Sustainable trading success comes from learning and progression, and this framework is built to support that journey.”

By reformatting recurring competitions into a constellation-based league, Phemex is positioning PATL as a durable engagement framework, one that blends performance metrics, seasonal identity, and community recognition into the everyday derivatives experience.

Founded in 2019, Phemex is a user-first crypto exchange trusted by over 10 million traders worldwide. The platform offers spot and derivatives trading, copy trading, and wealth management products designed to prioritize user experience, transparency, and innovation.

As a leading licensed VATP in Hong Kong, EXIO Limited (an SFC-licensed VATP in Hong Kong under EX.IO) has established a compliant digital asset infrastructure, to enable the listing of compliant RWA products in the city. By aligning Plume’s network of over 200 projects with EXIO Limited’s compliant trading and customer service, the collaboration aims to provide a scalable pathway for institutional capital to interact with onchain assets.

Strategic Collaboration Pillars

The MOU outlines a joint effort to address the structural requirements of a regulated onchain economy:

  • Infrastructure Alignment: Collaborating to ensure Plume’s RWA-specific product layers meet the rigorous custody and security standards required by SFC-licensed platforms.

  • Institutional Access: Creating a streamlined “sandbox-to-production” pipeline that allows sophisticated global asset issuers to reach professional investors in a fully compliant manner.

Following the signing at Consensus, the teams will focus on technical alignment and market readiness throughout February, March, and beyond. This foundational phase is designed to ensure that the infrastructure supporting future asset deployments meets the highest levels of capital efficiency and regulatory scrutiny.

“Our collaboration with Plume is a key part of EX.IO’s mission to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the digital asset economy,” said Chen WU, Co‑Founder and CEO of EX.IO. “EXIO Limited has already listed several tokenized products backed by equity funds and gold in Hong Kong, with plans to launch more than ten similar offerings in the coming months. Through this partnership, we aim to help establish a secure, transparent, and fully compliant environment for high-quality RWA products to enter and thrive in Hong Kong. We believe this collaboration marks an important milestone in advancing regulated tokenized finance and strengthening Hong Kong’s position as a leading global hub for digital assets and fintech.”

“This alliance demonstrates how the RWA sector is maturing beyond experimentation toward true institutional utility,” said Shukyee Ma, Chief Strategy Officer at Plume. “By collaborating with EX.IO, we are combining the speed and depth of the Plume ecosystem with the trust of a regulated platform. Together, we are building the foundation for a new era of compliant capital efficiency in Hong Kong.”

Quietly Powerful: Hoymiles HoyUltra 2 C&I ESS Achieves Breakthrough ≤60 dB(A) in Certified Noise Testing

HANGZHOU, China, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As energy storage systems (ESS) are increasingly deployed in commercial centers and residential neighborhoods, noise levels have become a critical factor for project approval. Hoymiles’ HoyUltra 2, the liquid-cooling C&I battery system, has achieved ≤60 dB noise level certification in a recent noise evaluation test conducted according to the international ISO 3744:2010 standard by the Zhejiang Electric Safety and Quality Inspection Center. While the industry average is 65–75 dB, the breakthrough ≤60 dB certification of HoyUltra 2 sets it as one of the quietest in the industry.

The gold standard of silence

Unlike tests conducted in noisy industrial environments, the HoyUltra 2 was tested in a professional semi-anechoic chamber with a background noise level of just 24 dB—quieter than a bedroom at night.

The evaluation covered the system’s entire operational cycle, including full-power charging and discharging. The results confirmed that even under maximum load, the noise remains consistently low and stable, free from mechanical hums.

Seamless urban integration

At the overall A-weighted sound pressure level of 47.4 dB(A), the operating volume of the HoyUltra 2 is comparable to a quiet library. This is a significant leap from traditional ESS units, which typically operate between 65–75 dB.

This breakthrough allows the HoyUltra 2 to blend seamlessly into noise-sensitive environments, such as:

  • Commercial business districts
  • Industrial parks
  • Residential communities

Innovative liquid-cooling engineering behind the low decibels

The silence of the HoyUltra 2 is a result of “System-Level Quiet Engineering”, which integrates acoustics into product design from the very beginning:

  • Multi-dimensional noise suppression: Hoymiles has optimized the refrigeration system and air duct architecture to enhance heat exchange efficiency while eliminating internal turbulence.
  • Balance of efficiency and quietness: The coordinated control for fans and compressors prevents unnecessary and excessive high-speed operation.
  • Fully liquid-cooling architecture: Compared to traditional systems, the fully liquid-cooling architecture achieves significantly fewer fans and lower RPMs, controlling noise at the source.
  • Acoustic stability and control: The seamless alignment between the product’s physical form and its acoustic profile proves that noise control was a core design requirement from the initial layout phase.

By removing the “noise barrier,” Hoymiles is opening up new possibilities for ESS deployment where space is tight and neighbors are close.
