🛠️ DEV UPDATE
- 👨‍🔧 Fixed a routing bug that could let an unavailable venue keep serving outdated swap prices. Stale quotes are now detected, and excluded venues stay out of routing attempts.
- 🔔 Added automatic alerts for routing failures so problems can be caught sooner.
- 🤖 Started working on a Telegram bot for trading Base and Robinhood Chain that will allow you to set orders, swap, order notifications, price watches, and a portfolio view so you can track everything without leaving the chat.

🛸 Alien Base Weekly Update - September 18th, 2026

🎢 This week's main focus was migration. We're pushing hard to make it happen as soon as possible, alongside lots of improvements for Epsilon and ramping Mothership work. Here's your full breakdown:

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 CFTC permits developers to build passive derivatives software without registering as brokers, including for crypto markets.

[Coinbase 🛡️ @coinbase]

The best financial products and opportunities should be in America.

Tokenized stocks now move closer than ever to launching in the US, thanks to the SEC.

Clarity is still coming to crypto.

[Alien Foundation @AlienFDN]

Pretty sure @AlienBaseDEX can take advantage of this somehow 👽🛸

[U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission @SECGov]

🚨 TODAY: The SEC issued an order granting temporary, conditional exemptive relief to Tokenized Securities Venues from the definition of “exchange” in the Exchange Act to trade tokenized NMS stock using innovative permissioned automated market makers and liquidity pools.

Dear CoinEx Community,

Today, I am announcing that CoinEx will cease operations and begin an orderly wind-down.

First, what matters most: your assets are safe. CoinEx’s reserve ratio exceeds 100%, and every user asset is fully backed and available for withdrawal. Withdrawals are open starting today and will remain open until December 22, 2026. Certain tokens may take slightly longer to process while funds are moved between cold and hot wallets, but every withdrawal request within the withdrawal period will be honored and processed.

CoinEx officially went live on December 22, 2017. Exactly nine years later, on December 22, 2026, the platform will be formally closed. Nine years is a long time in crypto. Together, we lived through multiple bull and bear cycles, witnessed the rise and fall of countless projects, and watched many of our peers leave the market in one form or another.

After much reflection, I have come to accept a hard truth. CoinEx did not become one of the industry’s leading exchanges, and the security and compliance risks of running a crypto exchange have become increasingly difficult to contain. Revenues can decline, responsibility does not. Carrying unlimited risk for limited revenue is no longer a rational choice. That said, CoinEx has survived nine years in one of the most volatile and unforgiving industries, weathered every storm, and is leaving intact, and with dignity. We may not have won the race, but we are finishing with honor.

On CET: CoinEx will buy back CET at its initial listing price of 0.005 USDT per token, with no cap on quantity. To every CET holder who has supported us over the years, thank you. CET represents your belief in CoinEx and, for many of you, your belief in me personally. I am sorry that we were not able to create the long-term value we once hoped CET would deliver. The least we can do now is bring that chapter to a responsible conclusion.

I did seriously consider selling CoinEx. Ultimately, I decided against it. Users entrusted their assets to CoinEx because they trusted the platform and, in many cases, trusted me personally. I did not feel that handing the platform and that trust to a new owner was the right way to end this journey. A clean ending is the right ending.

Nine years, millions of users. I did not turn CoinEx into the “great” exchange I once hoped it would become. But I can give it a decent ending: making sure users can withdraw their assets in full, giving my employees a dignified farewell, and providing CET holders with a clear and responsible conclusion. This is the best ending I can give CoinEx.

To everyone who traded with us, built with us, and stood by us through the hardest days of this market, thank you. It has been a privilege to walk this road with you.

To the CoinEx team, thank you for building this platform with me, for carrying it across every cycle, and now for seeing it through to the very last day.

For detailed arrangements, please refer to the official announcement: https://t.co/E27wSecpug

Thank you all for nine years of trust.
