MEXC Stock Futures Trading Volume Rises 130% in August as Trading Activity Broadens Across U.S. and Korean emory and Semiconductor Sectors

Mutsamudu, Comoros, September 11, 2026 — MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, released its August TradFi trading data. Trading volume across stock, index, and ETF Futures rose 130% month-on-month, while the number of available contracts grew 35% to over 400. Tokenized stocks and ETF Spot trading volume increased 30%, with gains across nearly all existing listings.   Memory and Semiconductor Trading Broadens Across U.S. and Korean Markets Stock Futures trading activity broadened from a single dominant memory stock to multiple U.S. and Korean memory stocks in August. Five of the top 10 Stock Futures by trading volume tracked memory and storage companies. SKHYNIX (SK hynix) ranked second overall and first among Stock Futures tracking individual stocks, with trading volume up approximately 401% month-on-month. MU (Micron) ranked third, up approximately 267%.   Combined trading volume for Stock Futures tracking Korean companies and markets (SKHYNIX, SKHY, SAMSUNG, and KORU) rose approximately 348%. Their share of total Stock Futures trading volume increased from 14% in July to 27% in August. SNDK (SanDisk) continued to record volume growth, although its share fell from 25% to 11%.   Trading activity also expanded into semiconductor ETFs. SOXL Stock Futures, tracking a semiconductor ETF offering 3x daily long exposure, ranked first as trading volume surged approximately 1,192%. Its share of total Stock Futures trading volume rose from less than 4% in July to 20% in August. SOXS Stock Futures, tracking an ETF offering 3x inverse daily leveraged exposure to the U.S. Semiconductor Index, also recorded 436% volume growth. Meanwhile, trading volume for SPX500 Stock Futures, tracking the S&P 500 Index, declined approximately 32%, reflecting a shift in trading activity from broad-market indices toward sector-specific exposure.   Beyond memory and semiconductors, trading volumes for SPCX (SpaceX) and TSLA (Tesla) Stock Futures rose approximately 45% and 784%, respectively.

TRON Expands MetaMask Connectivity Across B.AI, SUN.io, JustLend DAO and BitTorrent

Geneva, Switzerland, September 11, 2026 — TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), today announced expanded support for MetaMask across the TRON ecosystem, with B.AI, SUN.io, JustLend DAO and BitTorrent now supporting MetaMask connectivity through their respective dApps. MetaMask, one of the world’s largest consumer platforms for onchain finance, gives users direct control over their money and access to the onchain economy. Earlier this year, MetaMask launched native support for the TRON network across both its mobile and browser extension platforms. Building on that launch, users now have more ways to interact with applications across the TRON ecosystem using MetaMask.    B.AI is a financial infrastructure platform designed to give AI agents their own identities and the ability to transact independently, powering autonomous payments and on-chain execution for the emerging agent economy. SUN.io, TRON’s leading decentralized platform with over $650 million in total value locked (TVL), enables users to connect with MetaMask to access its high-performance SunSwap V4 decentralized exchange and automated market maker. JustLend DAO, TRON’s lending protocol, holds more than $7 billion in TVL and supports borrowing, lending, and staking. BitTorrent provides cross-chain interoperability through BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) and decentralized storage through the BitTorrent File System (BTFS).   “By expanding MetaMask dApp connectivity across TRON ecosystem applications, we’re giving users more ways to interact with TRON through a wallet they already know and use,” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson of the TRON DAO. “By expanding MetaMask connectivity across TRON’s dApp ecosystem, we are enabling millions of users worldwide to experience TRON’s speed, affordability, and ecosystem depth without changing the tools they already rely on.”   “Native TRON support in MetaMask gives users greater flexibility to interact with the TRON ecosystem using the wallet they already know,” said Dan Rosario, Ecosystem Engagement Manager at MetaMask. “As more applications across the TRON ecosystem implement MetaMask connectivity, users have more ways to engage with the network while maintaining the control that comes with self-custody.”   TRON is a leading global settlement layer for stablecoins, processing more than $23 billion in average daily transfer volume and hosting more than $94 billion of circulating USDT on-chain. Native TRON support in MetaMask enables users to manage TRON-based assets and connect their wallet to supported applications across the TRON ecosystem. As more TRON applications implement MetaMask connectivity, users have additional ways to interact with the network through a familiar self-custodial wallet.    About TRON DAO TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps.   Founded in September 2017, the TRON blockchain has experienced significant growth since its MainNet launch in May 2018.

ZOOMEX STOCK: Trade Last Week’s Market Chaos with Stock Perpetuals

Global markets whipsawed last week on a hot US labor report, persistent oil price pressure and steep single-stock declines in Tesla and Lululemon.  Zoomex, a leading global derivatives exchange built around user-friendly design, transparent balance and rule mechanisms, and fair access to legitimate earnings, is highlighting a week of sharp market swings as an example of the kind of environment its platform was purpose-built to serve. From a surprise US jobs print to oil market tension and double-digit drops in major US equities, this week offered traders no shortage of opportunity, and Zoomex users had a refined, easy to use venue ready to help them respond in real time. US Jobs Shock Reprices Rate Expectations The US economy added 162,000 jobs in August, nearly three times the 53,000 economists had forecast. The number forced a rapid repricing of Federal Reserve expectations, as investors weighed the possibility that a labor market running this hot could keep the Fed from cutting rates, or even push it toward another hike. Stock indices slid into the end of the week and the yield on the 10-year US Treasury climbed above 4.78%, tightening financial conditions across the board. Source: Fool This is precisely the type of macro shock that moves crypto derivatives markets alongside equities, and it is where Zoomex’s focus on derivatives, rather than a scattered product lineup, gives traders an edge. On Zoomex, users can react to shifting rate expectations through BTC and ETH perpetual contracts with adjustable leverage, all executed under the same fair, rule-based system that applies equally to every account on the platform. There is no privileged order flow and no hidden mechanics, only transparent, verifiable execution that traders can rely on when headlines move fast. Crude Oil Above $90 per barrel Crude oil held above $90 per barrel this week, supported by ongoing Middle East tensions and continued concern over the security of the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for a large share of the world’s seaborne oil supply. Elevated crude prices remain one of the biggest inflation risks facing the global economy, and that uncertainty tends to ripple straight through into digital asset markets. Source: Zoomex Zoomex was built for moments like this. As a platform focused squarely on derivatives, Zoomex gives traders the tools to position around macro-driven volatility, whether that means going long or short on major crypto pairs or using Zoomex’s expanding suite of Stock Perpetuals to trade the broader market reaction directly. Every position is backed by Zoomex’s commitment to verifiable trust assets and transparent balance mechanisms, so users always know exactly what they are trading and on what terms. Tesla Falls 6% on Cybercab Investigation Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) shares dropped 6% this week after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed a new investigation into the technical data and certification behind the company’s autonomous “Cybercab” vehicle. Regulatory scrutiny of Tesla’s self-driving ambitions has repeatedly moved the stock, and this latest probe was no exception. Source: Zoomex Rather than sitting on the sidelines, Zoomex users can trade Tesla’s price action directly through Zoomex Stock Perpetuals, one of the fastest-growing additions to the Zoomex product suite. Built with the same easy to use interface and refined trading experience found across the platform, Zoomex Stock Perpetuals let traders take a leveraged position on TSLA around news like this, with fair access and rule-based execution applied consistently to every order. Zoomex: Built for Weeks Like This Between a hot jobs report, sustained oil price pressure and double-digit swings in major US stocks, this week was a reminder of how quickly markets can move and how much traders stand to gain, or lose, when they do. Zoomex was designed from the ground up to meet that moment: a platform focused on derivatives, easy to use for traders at any experience level, transparent by design in every balance and rule mechanism, and committed to fair access and rule-based execution for every single user. Traders looking to act on this week’s volatility, whether through crypto derivatives, Zoomex Stock Perpetuals on names like TSLA and LULU, or other instruments across the Zoomex platform, can do so with the confidence that comes from verifiable trust assets and a trading experience refined for exactly this kind of market.

Axis Robotics Open-Sources One of the Largest Franka Arm Simulation Datasets for Physical AI

Axis Robotics has released Axis Sim Dataset V1, one of the largest open-source simulation datasets for Franka arm manipulation, with the full dataset, training code, and benchmarks publicly available. V1 is built from more than 50,000 human-teleoperated simulation trajectories across 207 manipulation tasks and 60,000+ scene variants on a simulated Franka Research 3 arm. This dataset drew over 160,000 downloads, making it the most downloaded open-source simulation Franka manipulation dataset on Hugging Face. In benchmarks, continual pretraining on V1 lifted π0.5 and beat a volume-matched RoboCasa baseline, with every result open and verifiable. Axis Robotics is building the ultimate compounding data engine for Physical AI, a vertically integrated system spanning large-scale simulation, egocentric real-world capture, humanoid loco-manipulation, and human-gated DAgger post-training. The company raised $12 million in seed funding led by Hack VC, with participation from Nomad Capital, Pi Network Ventures, 10K Ventures, and angel investors. A Bet Against “Clean Data Only” A common assumption in robotics is that demonstrations must be near-optimal to begin with — filter down to expert trajectories, standardize the setup, and discard anything noisy before it is safe to imitate. Axis’s thesis runs the other way: data quality lives at the distribution level, not the single trajectory. When a large and diverse enough crowd produces noisy, suboptimal trajectories and their errors are uncorrelated, the noise averages out and a working policy survives during training. Axis Sim Dataset V1 puts that thesis to a public test. Its trajectories span pick-and-place, stacking, pouring, articulated-object manipulation, and tool use, all collected through Axis’s browser-based teleoperation platform, Axis Hub, by a distributed crowd rather than a single expert team. The dataset was built with researchers from UC Berkeley, Johns Hopkins, the University of Michigan, and other institutions. Results That Scale On LIBERO-Plus, continual pretraining on V1 lifts π0.5 from 83.9% to 88.8% success and outperforms a volume-matched RoboCasa365 baseline by 37.3%. Performance improves consistently as pretraining data scales from 25% to 100% of the dataset, with no saturation in sight, evidence that the gains come from diversity and coverage rather than a one-off bump. The largest improvements appear under camera, sensor-noise, and layout perturbations, the exact axes Axis randomizes during generation. The team says V2 is already underway, scaling to 1.2 million trajectories across 1,200 tasks, with cross-embodiment generalization and results across multiple VLA models showing that suboptimal simulation data trains robust policies. The Engine Behind the Dataset The dataset is one output of a larger, actively compounding data engine. Where a traditional data vendor collects to a fixed spec and stops, Axis uses model performance and failure cases to determine what should be collected next, so every training round informs the next. That engine runs on a hybrid strategy across four data lines, and all four now run at scale: Simulation: over 200,000 distributed contributors on Axis Hub, a top-3 dApp on Base, producing 4.7M+ trajectories across 13 embodiments. Egocentric: a managed network of 1,000+ full-time, QC-trained collectors capturing first-person activity in real homes and businesses across 14 industries: 200,000+ hours already banked and growing by 4,000+ hours every day, with Vicon-verified hand pose. Loco-manipulation: 500+ hours combining mobility and dexterity on real humanoids (Unitree G1, Booster T2) through hardware-agnostic teleoperation. Human-gated DAgger post-training: 500+ hours of human-in-the-loop correction targeted at deployment edge cases. Every task and trajectory is recorded on-chain on Base for provenance, and contributors are rewarded for verified work quality. From Open Data to Commercial Deployment Beyond open-sourcing simulation data, Axis works directly with robot embodiment companies to build customized, embodiment-specific data pipelines and model priors. As Booster Robotics’ first sim-data partner, Axis rebuilt Booster’s real workspace as a task-aligned digital twin, had distributed contributors collect 42,000+ simulation episodes on it, and distilled them into a Booster-specific model prior. With just 30 real-robot demos, that prior reached 87.5% success versus 37.5% for an out-of-the-box π0.5, matching π0.5 using half the real-world demonstrations. Other partners span embodiment companies (Feagine Robotics), model companies (Manycore Tech, Dexmal) and industrial automation (Lotus Cars, Geely Auto). Axis also supplies on-chain robotics networks: BitRobot on Solana and OpenRoboto on Bittensor. Redefining Physical AI’s Data Foundation “The future of Physical AI isn’t a static dataset you download once,” said Chris Feng, founder of Axis Robotics. “It’s an engine that keeps producing the data the model needs next. Scale gets you broad coverage. Diversity keeps the noise unbiased. The closed loop turns every failure into progress. That’s what compounds.” Axis was founded by researchers from UC Berkeley, CMU, Georgia Tech, and SJTU, alongside serial founders who have scaled consumer platforms to over 30 million users. Its research is advised by Jiachen Li, Assistant Professor at Georgia Tech.   Paper Link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.21588 Project Page: https://axisaiorg.github.io/AXIS-V1/ Dataset Link: https://huggingface.co/datasets/axisrobotics/Franka-Dataset Github Codebase: https://github.com/AxisAIOrg/Axis-V1-Training
