WEEX Completes First-Ever Burn $120 Million Worth of WXT, Reducing Supply by 40% — Could WXT Be the Next 100x Gem?

SINGAPORE, Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Platform tokens like BNB and BGB have demonstrated their ability to create immense value through well-planned tokenomics strategies. Following these examples, WEEX is set to execute a significant milestone: the planned destruction of 40% of WXT’s total supply, valued at $120 million, signals a strategic step towards increasing scarcity and enhancing the token’s utility within the WEEX ecosystem.

WEEX Completes First-Ever Burn $120 Million Worth of WXT, Reducing Supply by 40% — Could WXT Be the Next 100x Gem?

WXT $120 Million Burn vs. BNB and BGB

As outlined in the burn process, WEEX ensures complete transparency by recording every token burn event on-chain. Such openness reinforces investor confidence and showcases the platform’s dedication to responsible token management.

Key Post-Burn Metrics

  • Token Name: WEEX Token (WXT)
  • Blockchain: Ethereum (ERC-20)
  • Total Supply After Burn: 6,000,000,000
  • Burned Token Value: $120 million

For comparison, Binance’s 30th quarterly burn eliminated 1.63 million BNB, valued at $1.16 billion, while Bitget unveiled a plan to burn over $5 billion worth of BGB tokens, WEEX’s upcoming burn stands out as a bold move to immediately reduce WXT’s supply by 40%. With plans for regular quarterly burns in the future, this initial large-scale reduction signals WEEX’s commitment to aligning with proven strategies in the industry while tailoring its approach to meet the platform’s growth and community needs.

Expanding Utility Across the WEEX Ecosystem

A Growing Ecosystem Backed by Numbers

Since its launch in August 2023, WXT has seen a cumulative price increase of 384%, reflecting its growing utility and market confidence. Over the past year, WEEX has solidified its presence in the global cryptocurrency market:

  • Daily Trading Volume: Exceeding $20 billion, consistently ranking among the top 10 derivatives exchanges.
  • Active User Base: Over 5 million users, supported by partnerships with 10000 star traders and 2000 global influencers.
  • Security and Transparency: Backed by a 1000 BTC investor protection fund and on-chain verification of all token burns.

These figures underscore the platform’s robust foundation and the critical role WXT plays in its ecosystem.

A Systematic Burn Schedule for Sustainable Growth
The whitepaper also highlights WEEX’s ongoing commitment to reducing WXT’s circulating supply through quarterly burns. This process involves allocating 20% of the exchange’s quarterly revenue—including spot and futures transaction fees and listing fees—for token repurchases and subsequent destruction.

Such a systematic approach ensures WXT remains deflationary, sustaining its scarcity while reinforcing its value proposition within the ecosystem.

Benefits for WXT Holders

The whitepaper emphasizes WXT’s integration into the WEEX platform’s comprehensive offerings,too. WXT holders enjoy numerous benefits:

1)Fee Discounts: Up to 70% off futures trading fees, making trading more cost-efficient.

2)Profit Opportunities: Enhanced profit-sharing through copy trading and VIP upgrades.

3)Exclusive Airdrops: Access to high-value token airdrops via the WE-Launch program, with annualized returns potentially exceeding 140%.

4)Governance Rights: WXT holders can participate in platform decision-making, including proposals for new listings and feature updates.

Future plans include integrating WXT into decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and extending its utility to cross-chain platforms and decentralized exchanges (DEXs), further broadening its use cases.

Will WXT Be the Next 100x Gem?

The upcoming $120 million WXT burn is poised to make an impact in the competitive landscape of platform tokens. By reducing its supply significantly, WEEX creates a foundation for WXT’s scarcity-driven value potential, positioning it alongside successful examples like BNB and BGB.

As WEEX continues to innovate and expand globally, WXT’s future will be shaped by its ability to adapt to market demands and deliver value to its holders. Whether WXT achieves “100x gem” status will depend on the platform’s sustained efforts to refine its tokenomics and expand its applications.

For those seeking a platform token with robust fundamentals and growth potential, WXT presents a compelling opportunity as it navigates the next stage of its evolution.

About WEEX

Founded in 2018, WEEX has quickly emerged as a global leader in cryptocurrency trading. With an extensive selection of trading pairs, cutting-edge features like WE-Launch, and partnerships with global icons like Michael Owen, WEEX continues to redefine the trading experience for millions worldwide.

This initiative optimizes the power grid structure and extends the 10 kV Zongyou Line to meet the dual power supply requirements of Eurasia Copper Industry, thereby promoting the development of the non-ferrous metal industry chain in Bortala Prefecture.

The renowned wind area of Alashankou City, situated in the narrow corridor between the Altai Mountains and the Baluruk Mountains, facilitates green electricity trading for 86 users.

The power supply company has assigned dedicated customer service managers to closely monitor the production readiness of the enterprise. They conduct monthly evaluations and analyses of power consumption and electricity costs for Xinjiang Eurasia Copper Industry Co., Ltd., providing guidance and recommendations on energy use.

President and CEO Yannick Fierling’s comment

After having spent 3 months getting to know Electrolux Group and its stakeholders, I assumed the position as CEO on January 1, 2025. In the fourth quarter, we continued to make good progress on our cost reduction initiatives, and the Group’s attractive product offering contributed to an organic growth of 11.5%. Operating margin excluding non-recurring items improved to 3.3% with an operating cash flow after investments of SEK 2.7bn.

Enhanced consumer experiences, agility and speed

Key takeaways from my initial time with Electrolux Group are the strength of our product offering and the clear identity of our brands Electrolux, AEG and Frigidaire. We really know our consumer, evidenced by the high online consumer star ratings for our products. It is essential to truly nurture the local strengths and what differentiates us in the market, while further leveraging our global scale to drive innovation and mix – all in a cost-efficient manner. In addition to offering great products that help consumers make more sustainable choices at home, we need to move even further to experiences, by expanding our customized solutions throughout the consumer journey.

Electrolux Group has a unique culture and legacy that is important to safeguard, while at the same time further increasing speed and agility. A key element of the Group’s culture that I aim to support and develop is entrepreneurship. By promoting ownership and accountability, we can empower the entire team, enhance operational efficiency, and improve financial performance.

Sales growth and cost reductions drove earnings improvement

In the fourth quarter, operating income improved significantly supported by a SEK 2.0bn contribution from cost efficiency and organic growth of 11.5%.

Business area Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa reached an operating margin, excluding non-recurring items, of 4.8% (1.9) despite continued subdued discretionary consumer spending in Europe.

In North America good momentum from our new products and improved productivity contributed to an improvement in operating income. I am also very pleased that all of the Group’s potential legacy asbestos exposure in the U.S. was divested in the fourth quarter. This transaction provides improved long-term financial visibility for our investors and frees up operational resources. In Latin America performance remained strong in the quarter with an operating margin of 8.0%.

For the Group, the seasonal pattern of our earnings has started to normalize, with the fourth quarter being the strongest during the year. With that in mind, the first quarter is normally weaker than the other quarters.

Demand mainly driven by replacements

The market in Europe continued to be replacement driven and was relatively stable in the fourth quarter, with high promotional intensity. The built-in kitchen market in Europe stabilized at a low level. Promotional activity was high in North America, but Black Friday promotions did not continue throughout December as they did the year before. Despite weak housing markets and with some quarterly volatility, the market increased slightly in 2024, supported by the aggressive pricing environment. The main markets in Latin America grew in the quarter although growth in Brazil slowed somewhat as consumer demand started to accelerate in the fourth quarter 2023.

Outlook for 2025

Looking at 2025, there is an uncertainty stemming from potential impact on demand for home appliances from possible new trade policies in North America. In Europe demand has started to stabilize, but there is a time-lag before lower interest rates and potential improvements in disposable income support an increase in discretionary purchases. Following strong growth in Brazil during 2024 we expect market demand to stabilize in 2025.

On the back of this we expect market demand for core appliances to be relatively neutral in all regions in 2025 compared to 2024.

Organic earnings contribution from volume, price and mix combined for the Group is expected to be relatively neutral in full-year 2025. We anticipate that a high degree of demand will continue to be driven by replacement purchases, which are more price sensitive. Negative price is anticipated to be offset by growth in our focus categories such as premium laundry and kitchen products. Similar to 2024, investments in Innovation and marketing are projected to increase in full year 2025. The intent is to capitalize on the product and services leadership, supported by brand-building, to create value long term.

External factors are expected to be negative for the year, with significant headwinds from currencies. The impact from raw material costs is expected to be essentially neutral.

With reduced product cost across the value chain as the main driver, we anticipate SEK 3.5-4.0bn earnings contribution from cost efficiency in 2025.

Profitability and cash flow in focus

With a robust cash flow in the fourth quarter, a strong liquidity, and a well-balanced maturity profile, the Group’s financial situation is stable. Improving earnings and cash flow are top priorities. In North America focus is to improve productivity and reduce cost further while continuing to support the strong product offering.

We will continue to develop and strengthen Electrolux Group for the years to come. Our attractive offering and strong brands together with effectively executed cost-reductions and high-performing organizational set-up, position us well for the future.
