OpenSea is transforming into a cryptocurrency trading aggregator

According to Forbes, the NFT trading platform OpenSea has successfully transformed into a full-scale cryptocurrency trading aggregator, and its trading volume has rebounded significantly. Following the collapse of the NFT market, the company laid off over 50% of its staff and repositioned itself. It now supports trading across all crypto assets on 22 blockchains, particularly benefiting from the memecoin boom. In the first two weeks of October 2025, OpenSea facilitated $1.6 billion in cryptocurrency trades and $230 million in NFT trades, on track to achieve its highest monthly trading volume in three years. CEO Devin Finzer stated that the company is focused on providing a seamless cross-blockchain trading experience and plans to launch a mobile app and platform token.

We would like to provide an update on the current situation. The UXLINK team is currently working closely with the four major Korean exchanges to swap UXLINK tokens, originally based on the Arbitrum network, to UXLINK tokens based on the Ethereum (ETH) mainnet. This token swap will follow the same principles as other exchanges: Tokens held before the hack will be swapped at a 1:1 ratio; Tokens purchased after the hack will be swapped according to the compensation plan voted on by the community. This rule applies to all exchange users and on-chain users. Due to differences in user base and frozen asset data across exchanges, we are currently verifying data with most exchanges. Once this process is complete, the exchange will proceed according to the established schedule. 5. Solana Ecosystem Prediction Market worm.wtf Launches.
