On May 13, 2026, at 20:00 Singapore time (UTC+8), the privacy Layer 1 blockchain Anubis Chain launched its first ecosystem project, AWAKE. According to Odaily, the project's native token, LGNS, is now available on the ecosystem's decentralized exchange, RocketSwap, with the DAI/LGNS trading pair also going live. This launch activated an initial liquidity pool of $163 million, setting a record for the largest single pool liquidity within the Anubis Chain ecosystem. AWAKE, the first project to fully migrate to Anubis Chain, was incubated by Anubis Labs. It successfully demonstrated the seamless migration of the blockchain's EVM and the closed-loop of privacy programmable technology. The large-scale liquidity pool was established by AWAKE DAO through community fundraising on Anubis Chain's official launchpad, Capybara. This setup aims to effectively reduce trading slippage, with the initial issuance price of LGNS set at $5.

Binance Co-CEO Yi He said the most significant transformation at the world's largest crypto exchange over the past few years has been one that users cannot see from the outside: a fundamental rebuild of the company's internal structure and talent base.Speaking during the opening session of Binance Online on May 13, Yi He pushed back on the assumption that Binance's headline achievement is simply user growth. "From outside, probably you feel, oh, Binance users grow a lot and achieve three hundred million. But internally, I think the biggest change is definitely the organization structure — much, much more powerful," she said.She framed people as the foundation of everything else the company has built. "Everything comes from the right people. If you have the right talent density, then you can improve your team, you can grow your user size, you can have more business developing. That's normal," Yi He told viewers.The second shift, she said, is a cultural rebalancing — preserving Binance's founding identity while adding institutional discipline. "We keep our DNA. And at the same time, we are really working to improve our compliance culture, while hiring a lot of fantastic people who joined our group."Yi He also pushed back on prevailing market sentiment. "From external people, you feel, oh, it's bear market, it's terrible. But we can see the industry day by day stronger. People are not just looking at trade. Blockchain tech is actually deeply involved in the real world, and TradFi is cooperating with the crypto industry. We are together."
