DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is excited to unlock new benefits for Mantle (MNT) holders across its trading platform and offerings. From Earn, fee discounts, to a fast track to VIP, MNT has emerged as the ultimate booster for Bybit users on their trading journey.

MNT’s breakout performance, driven by rising institutional recognition, evolving utilities, and expansive Bybit integrations, has garnered significant investor and trader interest in recent weeks, pushing MNT price to $1.81, up by 48.05% in a month. In a move to empower the Bybit community in sharing in MNT’s growth, the exchange is announcing two major MNT-exclusive perks within a week:

1. MNT Pass: Fast Pass to VIP & Lower Fees
   The MNT prestige is real on Bybit. Starting September 23, 2025, MNT holders can witness the magic of MNT as a special pass when trading on Bybit:

   ● Using MNT to Save on Trading Fees: Eligible users stand to get up to 25% off Spot trading fees and up to 10% discount in select Futures trading fee categories when they pay with MNT. The second offer applies to traders of USDT Perpetuals, USDT Expiry Contracts, and USDC Perpetuals. Trading via API is excluded.
   ● Holding MNT for Accelerated VIP Progression: Holding MNT on Bybit will bring users closer to the next VIP tier requirements faster. With the MNT Multiplier increasing their assets’ market value by up to 1.5x for VIP advancement purposes, an eligible Bybit user holding MNT and USDT will be evaluated based on their “Pass Value” instead of market value. The benefit could help users reach the next VIP tier upgrades that would conventionally require higher capital commitment.

   The program allows MNT holders and users to speed up their journey towards Bybit’s signature VIP program, through which they can unlock even more benefits and exclusive experiences.

2. Advanced Earn Integration: MNT Discount Buy
   Complementing the MNT Pass launch, MNT investors will also qualify for MNT Discount Buy on Bybit Advanced Earn, available from September 22, 2025. This innovative product offers users guaranteed MNT acquisition at a preset discount price with no knockout restrictions, while simultaneously providing MNT holding benefits throughout the investment period.
   
   Key Advantages of Bybit MNT Discount Buy:
   ● Guaranteed MNT purchase at discount prices upon term completion
   ● Access to Mantleverse ecosystem benefits during the investment period
   ● Loyalty rewards scaling with investment size and duration
   ● Strategic positioning for long-term appreciation for traders bullish on MNT

The comprehensive programs demonstrate how utility tokens can create value for Bybit’s community. While transforming MNT into both an accelerant for VIP progression and a direct cost-saving tool, Bybit also offers attractive MNT purchase options through its Advanced Earn platform. The initiatives underscore Bybit’s commitment to providing Bybit users with seamless access to opportunities ahead of the curve.

Terms and conditions apply to all sets of offers. For details on restrictions and eligibility, users may explore the MNT Pass program and MNT Bybit Discount Buy.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — OpenRock, the trailblazer in open-ear audio innovation, announced the official launch of the OpenRock Link 20 on Kickstarter on September 23th. Designed to merge professional-grade communication with everyday lifestyle convenience, the Link 20 is set to redefine how people experience headsets in both work and life.

Redefining the Communication Headset

Traditional communication headsets often force compromises: bulky headbands, ear fatigue, lack of ambient awareness, or fragile build quality. The Link 20 eliminates these pain points with a minimalist open-ear design, weighing only 9g per earbud, and introducing a groundbreaking detachable, interchangeable magnetic boom microphone.

Key Innovations

• Interchangeable Left-Right Boom Mic

The first in its category, the Link 20’s magnetic boom mic can be easily attached to either ear. This unique flexibility accommodates user preference and prevents long-term discomfort associated with wearing a mic on only one side.

• Detachable Magnetic Design with Premium Durability

Using N54 magnets and a six-layer alloy plating, the boom mic attaches securely yet effortlessly, with durability proven through over 10,000 attach-detach cycles. Users also receive instant audio alerts when the mic is connected or disconnected.

• AI Noise Cancellation with 5-Mic Array

Powered by a 5-microphone AI ENC system, the Link 20 filters out up to 99.9% of background noise (58dB reduction), ensuring crystal-clear communication in busy offices or on the go.

• The Latest Bluetooth 6.0

The Link 20 supports Bluetooth 6.0, enabling one-to-two device connection, ultra-stable signal transmission, with a wireless range of up to 50 feet indoors and 99 feet outdoors, keeping you connected wherever you are.

• One Headset for Two Worlds: Where Work Meets Life

From business calls to music streaming, the Link 20 adapts seamlessly. The dual-scenario design eliminates the need to buy separate headsets for work and leisure.

• All-Day Battery Life

The Link 20(without boom Mic) delivers up to 13 hours of continuous music playback and 9 hours of talking time. With charging case, the music playing time will be up to 52h and talking time will be 36h. Under 5-min quick charge, it will deliver 1 hour emergency talk.

• Minimalist Comfort & Ergonomic Excellence

With a 6.9° ergonomic tilt, liquid silicone materials, and a three-point pressure distribution system, the Link 20 guarantees secure, all-day comfort without ear canal blockage or pressure marks.

• Exclusive OpenRock App
  The Link 20 is supported by the OpenRock App, which allows users to:
• Customize EQ and sound profiles for work and leisure modes.
• Find My Buds: Quickly locate misplaced earbuds with an in-app tracking feature, ensuring users never lose their Link 20.

Price & Availability

The OpenRock Link 20 will officially debut on Kickstarter on September 23, 2025, at 9:00 AM EST.

The headset will retail for $149.99 in the consumer market.

During the Kickstarter campaign, backers will enjoy exclusive discounts significantly below the retail price, making this the best opportunity to secure the Link 20 early at unbeatable value.

The project redeploys older-generation hardware while expanding Compass Mining’s enterprise and institutional capabilities to off-grid solutions

WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Compass Mining, a leading provider of Bitcoin mining infrastructure and services, today announced the launch of its first off-grid natural gas site in Wyoming, developed in partnership with 360 Energy. The site is already running and will be fully energized by the end of September 2025.

The project enables Compass Mining to redeploy earlier-generation hardware, such as the Antminer S19-series machines, extending their lifecycle and turning underutilized machines into productive and profitable assets.

With a total power capacity of 3.3 megawatts (MW), the Wyoming site adds to Compass Mining’s expanding portfolio of directly operated facilities, reinforcing its strategy of vertical integration while diversifying its geographic footprint and energy sources across various power markets. By combining established on-grid operations with new off-grid expertise, Compass Mining is laying the groundwork for future institutional-grade off-grid products.

With global volumes of unused gas burning hitting a record 150 billion cubic meters in 2024, Compass Mining’s Wyoming project demonstrates how monetization of pipeline-constrained natural gas can become one of the most promising innovations in Bitcoin mining, especially as industry economics evolve and require new operational models to stay profitable.

“The future of Bitcoin mining is about turning abundant underutilized energy into productive infrastructure,” says Karoon Mackenchery, Senior Director of Mining Services at Compass Mining. “We believe 360 Energy has solved many of the challenges of off-grid Bitcoin mining. By testing these new models and new markets, we are preparing to extend these innovations to additional sites and increase our offering to institutional clients.”

“We are seeing more producers utilize Bitcoin mining as natural gas offtake,” says Chris Alfano, 360 Energy. “By combining our innovative solutions with Compass Mining’s years of operational excellence, we are proving how Bitcoin mining can directly benefit oil and gas companies with less emissions, increased oil production and new uncorrelated revenue streams.”

About Compass Mining

Compass Mining is a customer-first company that provides a platform for individuals and businesses to purchase Bitcoin mining hardware, host machines, build and manage mining facilities, and access a range of ancillary services. With a commitment to exceptional customer support and transparency, Compass Mining sets the benchmark for Bitcoin mining hosting. Its mission is to make Bitcoin mining accessible to everyone.
