HTX DAO Emphasizes Its Focus on the CIS Region for Global Expansion at Crypto Summit 2024

Published

on

SINGAPORE, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — From September 25-26, HTX DAO made a strong impression at Crypto Summit 2024, as an exclusive sponsor of its registration desk and a key partner. This demonstrates HTX DAO’s commitment to expanding its presence in the CIS region, a vital market for the global growth of its ecosystem and showcases its unique decentralized governance model. Through the Summit, the budding ecosystem attracted a broad array of crypto community members, developers, partners, and users, further strengthening its global community and decentralization.

Anton Belyakov, the operations manager for HTX in the CIS region, delivered a keynote speech titled “Towards Crypto Exchange 2.0: How HTX DAO Redefines Exchange Model to Build Active Crypto Community.”

Belyakov emphasized that HTX DAO is an organization that can change how we view centralized exchanges, representing a decentralized exchange through innovative governance and community participation. According to him, HTX DAO empowers its users, partners, and governance committee members to participate in decision-making processes and bolster the exchange to integrate community feedback, innovative solutions, and more — thereby driving rapid product evolution.

Belyakov also revealed that HTX DAO’s governance token, $HTX, has seen its value steadily increase thanks to the platform’s growth and the token burning designed to limit supply. At present, the token is traded on 24 exchanges. Since its launch in early 2024, $9 million worth of $HTX tokens have been burned and $42.5 million liquidity pledges have been received by HTX DAO, demonstrating both a robust foundation and strong potential especially within the CIS region.

Looking ahead, Belyakov noted that $HTX has the potential to lead governance tokens in the crypto space, as HTX DAO continues to set a new standard for community-driven exchanges.

The Crypto Summit, held in Moscow from September 25-26 this year, is a major annual event for cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors in Russia and the CIS. The recent event attracted over 7,000 attendees, 70 speakers, and 70 exhibitors. This year’s discussions focused on the industry’s most concerned topics, including investment opportunities, market trends, and regulatory developments.

HTX DAO highlighted the CIS region as a fertile ground for crypto growth, driven by its technology innovation, active communities, and decentralized ethos. Despite regulatory challenges and global financial pressures, the region remains a high-potential market within the global crypto industry. In August alone, HTX DAO and HTX saw their market share rise to 21.2% in the region. Going forward, HTX DAO plans to continue expanding its businesses in the CIS market, further growing its international footprint.

About HTX DAO

HTX DAO is a blockchain-based decentralized autonomous organization dedicated to revolutionizing decentralized governance and expanding the applications of blockchain technology. Our vision is centered around open finance and a decentralized, tokenized economy. At the core of HTX DAO, governance is democratically and transparently vested in the hands of $HTX token holders.

dxFeed Introduces ZeroDTE to Bring Greater Transparency to 0DTE Trading Risk

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — dxFeed, a global provider of market data and financial technology solutions, introduced dxFeed ZeroDTE, a new quantitative analytics solution designed to bring greater transparency and precision to the rapidly growing market for zero-days-to-expiration (0DTE) options.

Developed by dxFeed’s AI & Quant Research team, the solution transforms live SPX and XSP options data into comprehensive pricing and risk analytics, enabling brokers, trading platforms, and analytics providers to give traders a clearer understanding of potential outcomes before entering a trade.

The introduction comes as 0DTE options continue to reshape US derivatives markets. According to Cboe, same-day contracts accounted for approximately 65%* of SPX options trading volume in Q3 2026, averaging a record 3.2 million contracts daily. Yet the analytical tools available to traders have not always kept pace with this growth, particularly when it comes to understanding the risks behind complex, multi-leg strategies — a challenge previously highlighted by Jon Light, Senior Director of Product Management, Devexperts.

Beyond Probability of Profit: Understanding the Full Risk
While conventional trading interfaces typically display strikes, premiums, and margin requirements, ZeroDTE reveals the market-implied probabilities behind each strategy, including the likelihood of retaining the full premium, experiencing a partial loss, or reaching the maximum possible loss.

Unlike traditional probability calculations based on a single implied volatility estimate or delta, the solution analyzes the entire live options chain, incorporating the volatility smile and distribution tails to deliver a consistent view of market-implied outcomes.

Through a single API integration, platforms can provide traders with:

Market-implied probabilities of different profit and loss outcomes.Fair value comparisons against displayed market prices.Maximum profit, maximum loss, and break-even levels for individual strategies.Market-implied distribution of today’s close, derived from live options data.Strategies defined in units of the day’s priced move, so the same structure can be compared across days and market conditions .

Supporting popular structures including iron condors, butterflies, straddles, strangles, and vertical spreads, the service brings sophisticated quantitative analytics directly into the trading experience.

“Retail platforms are good at showing a probability of profit, and most will show the maximum loss as well. What they don’t show is how likely that loss is,” said Anton Antonov, Head of AI & Quant Research at dxFeed. “ZeroDTE puts the odds next to the worst case: the chance of keeping the credit, of a partial loss and of the maximum loss, read from the whole option chain rather than a single volatility number. Rather than predicting where the market will go, we give traders the tools to understand what current options prices imply, evaluate different strategies consistently, and make more informed decisions.”

Expanding dxFeed’s Intelligent Market Data Ecosystem
ZeroDTE marks another milestone in dxFeed’s evolution from market data delivery toward advanced analytics, quantitative research, and intelligent financial technology.

The solution joins dxFeed’s growing portfolio of innovative technologies, including SummerFox, its award-winning AI-powered market intelligence solution; Grenadier, an AI-based market data anomaly detection technology; and dxScript, an AI-assisted scripting environment for custom market analytics and indicators.

Together, these solutions reinforce dxFeed’s commitment to transforming high-quality financial data into accessible, actionable intelligence for the global trading community.

The new analytics capabilities have already been integrated into DXcharts, demonstrating how advanced options risk metrics can be incorporated directly into trading and charting interfaces.

For a deeper look at the technical capabilities, key features, and practical applications of ZeroDTE, explore our in-depth article.

One Third of Florida’s Banks and Credit Unions Not Yet Protected Against Future Quantum Decryption, Open-Source Scan Finds

Published

Manteiga Foundation publishes a state-of-readiness note on 81 Florida institutions: nothing is broken today, the risk is time, and for most the fix is one setting

MIAMI, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Of 81 Florida-headquartered banks and credit unions, 54 already protect their customers’ connections against future quantum decryption and 27 do not yet, according to a state-of-readiness note published today by Manteiga Foundation, a Florida public benefit company. The note, the first from the foundation’s Quantum Ready Labs, lists every institution and its result: quantumreadylabs.com/studies/florida-financial-2026q4.

Nothing is broken today. No account, login or transaction is at risk from what the note describes; every connection tested is encrypted with algorithms no existing computer can break.

The risk is time. Encrypted traffic can be recorded now and decrypted once a large enough quantum computer exists, so anything that must stay confidential for years is already inside the window. That window is narrowing: in 2025 the estimated size of the machine needed to break today’s key exchange fell from about twenty million qubits to under one million, and NIST has set 2030 to begin retiring today’s key exchange and 2035 to end it. Browsers already protect traffic the new way.

The fix is small. The 27 split in two. Ten are Exposed, their sites still on a protocol generation that cannot carry post-quantum protection; the next step is to enable TLS 1.3. Seventeen are At risk, on a modern protocol with the protection not switched on; the next step is one setting, the post-quantum key exchange (X25519MLKEM768), a configuration line or a toggle on current servers. The 54 are Protected (30) or Ready (24). The median score is 85 of 100; the note uses four plain words, no letter grades.

“Nothing is broken today, and that is exactly why this is the moment to act,” said Jaime Manteiga, Co-Founder of Manteiga Foundation. “Confidentiality is the urgent part of the quantum transition, the fix is small, and most of these institutions are one setting away. We built the scanner so that anyone can see where a host stands in a second and what to do next.”

Quantum Ready Labs is free and open source under the MIT licence. Typing a host name at quantumreadylabs.com opens a handful of connections to it, as a browser visit would, and returns the stage, a score for quantum readiness alone, the one next step and the standards cited (NIST IR 8547, FIPS 203, CNSA 2.0), shareable by link or as a five-page PDF; an open API runs the same test for services.

Each institution’s public primary domain was tested on October 18, 2026 with fourteen TLS handshakes and one ordinary connection; no page was opened, no login attempted. Every Exposed result was cross-checked with OpenSSL and curl. The population, from public regulator lists with each domain verified, will be re-scanned quarterly; any institution can run a fresh test at once.

For organizations that want help making the change, the foundation operates N30.ai, its cybersecurity consulting practice. The scanner and its results stay free and open.
