Enhanced technology solution combines front-end discovery with back-end omnibus account infrastructure to reduce fragmentation in crypto asset investment

ABU DHABI, UAE, April 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —  Binance today announced the reintroduced Capital Connect, its marketplace platform for eligible institutional users, now built on top of Portfolio Accounts, Binance’s institutional account infrastructure solution for portfolio investment.

Originally launched to bridge information and networking gaps between investors and trading teams, the first-of-its-kind Capital Connect now delivers a more integrated experience by combining front-end portfolio discovery with the back-end operational infrastructure of Portfolio Accounts. Together, these solutions reduce fragmentation in crypto asset investment and provide a more structured way for eligible participants to connect via Binance’s technology platform.

In a market where crypto allocation remains fragmented and communication often relies on informal, opaque channels, Capital Connect improves transparency, trust, and operational efficiency for investors seeking to access trading teams.

Under the updated model, trading teams onboard to Portfolio Accounts, where they can run strategies and establish a track record before becoming discoverable on Capital Connect. Institutional investors can browse portfolio information and express interest through the platform. During the initial stage, both sides remain anonymous. If a trading team accepts a connection request, the investor receives the trading team’s information while remaining anonymous.

Investors can search, filter, and compare strategies by:

• Strategy type (e.g. Market Neutral, Directional, Statistical Arbitrage)
• Performance (30-day return, return since inception, NAV per allocation)
• Risk metrics (Sharpe ratio and maximum drawdown)
• Terms (minimum investment, currency, fees, lock-up period, settlement window)

Portfolio Accounts provide the underlying omnibus account infrastructure that enables trading teams to pool and manage assets in one or more accounts based on their preferred trading strategies. Modeled on traditional finance, Portfolio Accounts offer trading teams greater operational efficiency while giving investors a structured process to allocate and redeem investments, with added confidence that assets remain securely held on Binance and cannot be withdrawn by the trading teams. Any trading decisions made through the platform remain between the participants themselves.

Catherine Chen, Head of Binance VIP & Institutional, said: “With Capital Connect now rebuilt on top of Portfolio Accounts, we’re bringing a more integrated and scalable way for investors and trading teams to meet and work together. Capital Connect is another milestone in our journey to reduce friction in crypto market infrastructure and make digital assets more accessible for institutional and sophisticated users.”

Key features of the updated Capital Connect include:

• More structured discovery: Eligible investors can browse portfolio information through a standardized platform experience, reducing reliance on fragmented introductions and informal market channels.
• Integrated account infrastructure: Trading teams operate through omnibus account infrastructure designed to streamline operations and support scalable strategy execution.
• Track record visibility: Trading teams establish an operating history through Portfolio Accounts before becoming visible on Capital Connect.
• Privacy protections: Investors and trading teams remain anonymous during the initial interaction stage to help protect user information.
• Institutional onboarding standards: Participation is limited to eligible Binance VIP & Institutional users who have completed relevant KYB verification requirements.
• TradFi-inspired infrastructure: Portfolio Accounts bring operating models familiar to traditional finance participants into the digital asset ecosystem.

Availability: Capital Connect is available to eligible institutional users who have completed applicable KYB onboarding requirements, subject to regional restrictions. Trading teams are subject to holding a valid licence (or recognised exemption) issued by a regulatory authority in their jurisdiction to provide investment, portfolio or asset management activities to access Capital Connect. Investors must meet one of the following financial criteria to access Capital Connect: VIP 3 status or above, $1M or more in total assets on Binance, or submission of external asset proof equivalent to $1M for review. Institutional investors and trading teams can contact their Binance Institutional representative or apply through official Binance channels.

This service is only accessible to qualified persons and may not be available in your region. Binance is not liable or responsible for the completeness or accuracy of any information regarding any Trading Team presented here.

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, the world leader in 0-fee digital asset trading, today announced a comprehensive brand upgrade to mark its 8th anniversary. This milestone transformation signals MEXC’s evolution from a traditional exchange into a universal gateway for global markets, built on the two core pillars of “0 Fees” and “Infinite Opportunities”.

The walls between asset classes—crypto, equities, and commodities—begin to collapse into a single, continuous global trading system, yet rising fees and friction have restricted user access. MEXC directly addresses this imbalance, aiming to make global opportunities more accessible regardless of geography or capital. MEXC prioritized product strength and a “0 Fee” model. Backed by a team of 2,000 professionals, the platform is advancing its infrastructure through AI-driven tools and enhanced transparency standards — further lowering barriers and expanding access for traders worldwide.

At the center of this brand upgrade is MEXC’s newly introduced logo — a symbol of openness and access. Evolving from the brand’s core “M” into a simpler and more fluid symbol of the new MEXC. This visual transformation represents four key pillars of MEXC evolution.

• More Possibilities – Its shape echoes infinity, representing MEXC’s commitment to unlocking more assets, more products, more market access, and more possibilities for users worldwide. This reflects MEXC’s belief that opportunity should not be limited by entry barriers, product access, or user stage.
• More Accessible – Its dual form can also be interpreted as two zeros, reflecting MEXC’s 0 Fee philosophy. More than a pricing message, these two zeros symbolize MEXC’s effort to remove barriers and make opportunities more accessible and actionable for every user.
• More Open – The new MEXC logo evolves from the brand’s core “M” into a simpler, more fluid, and more open symbol of the new MEXC. It preserves the brand’s familiar identity while expressing a new stage of growth — one that is more modern, more global, and more user-centered.
• More Connected – At the same time, the logo’s connected and open structure expresses MEXC’s role as a Trusted Global Gateway — a platform built to connect users to broader markets and broader opportunities through a more seamless, user-centric experience, supported by reliable infrastructure across the world.

MEXC believes opportunities should be open to everyone, and has built MEXC to be commended as your 0-fee gateway to infinite opportunities.

• Beyond Pricing: 0 fees is a structural commitment to remove one of the biggest barriers in trading.
• Shared Value: In the past year alone, MEXC 0-fee model has returned more than $1 billion to our users. This is not a short-term campaign, but a fundamental shift in how value is created and shared.
• Unified Access: “Infinite opportunities” means giving users broader, simpler access to global markets. Whether it is crypto, US stocks, MT5-based assets, or prediction markets, users can act on opportunity through one account and one gateway

As the industry enters a new phase where markets converge and access becomes the defining advantage, MEXC is accelerating its mission to become the infrastructure layer connecting users to global opportunities and setting a new standard for exchanges — where trust is as critical as performance, and users remain at the center of the ecosystem.

About MEXC
MEXC is the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchange, trusted by more than 40 million users across 170+ markets. Built on a user-first philosophy, MEXC offers industry-leading 0-fee trading and access to over 3,000 digital assets. As the Gateway to Infinite Opportunities, MEXC provides a single platform where users can easily trade cryptocurrencies alongside tokenized assets, including stocks, ETFs, commodities, and precious metals.

DALLAS, April 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG), a leading Bitcoin miner leveraging its global operations to develop an integrated energy and AI compute platform, today announced its operational update for March 2026. Cango is strategically optimizing its mining operations to prioritize cash margin over scale. This includes refining the mining fleet, decommissioning inefficient miners, deploying alternative models such as hashrate leasing in regions with high hosting fees, and migrating capacity to lower-cost power regions.

Operational Strategy: Targeted Efficiency and Risk Mitigation

As of March 31, 2026, Cango’s total operational hashrate stood at 37.01 EH/s, consisting of core self-mining fleet and hashrate leasing arrangements. This lean-production model prioritizes margin resilience over raw scale.

• Fleet Modernization & Geographic Migration: Cango is selectively implementing hardware upgrades across portions of its original fleet. By deploying S21/S21XP series miners specifically in regions experiencing elevated power costs, such as Paraguay and Oman, Cango leverages superior energy efficiency (J/TH) to offset electricity costs. Concurrently, Cango continues migrating its broader fleet to stable, lower-cost jurisdictions.
• Revenue Sharing Arrangements: Cango has deployed a revenue-sharing model at specific higher-cost sites with hosting partners for the remainder of their hosting contracts. This collaborative arrangement aligns interests, ensuring operations remain viable for both Cango and its hosting partners during market volatility.

While some optimization efforts remain ongoing, Cango’s focus is ensuring positive site-level cash margins for greater downside protection of its core mining business.

Proactive Cost Management

The shift toward a lean-production model has resulted in a substantial reduction in unit production costs. In March 2026, Cango achieved an average cash cost per coin of $68,215.83. This represents a 19.3% reduction compared to the average cash cost of $84,552 per coin reported in Q4 2025. This improved cost basis positions Cango’s mining operations on a self-sustaining footing.

Strategic De-leveraging

In March, Cango completed a strategic sale of 2,000 Bitcoins, with proceeds used to retire outstanding Bitcoin-backed loans. As of March 31, 2026, Cango’s total outstanding Bitcoin-backed loan balance was $30.6 million, with a treasury position of 1,025.69 Bitcoins. This de-leveraging, combined with recent capital infusions including a $65 million equity investment from leadership and a $10 million convertible bond from DL Holdings, strengthens Cango’s balance sheet to support its planned transition into energy and AI infrastructure.
