MEXC Fuels DeFi Innovation and Liquidity Security with the Berachain (BERA) Listing
MEXC, the world’s leading cryptocurrency trading platform, announced the listing of the Berachain (BERA), scheduled for February 6, 2025, at 13:00 (UTC). The launch on MEXC will be accompanied by Airdrop+ rewards of 19,100 BERA and 50,000 USDT.
Berachain: From Meme to EVM-Identical Layer 1
Berachain began as a meme, inspired by bear-themed JPEGs, and has since evolved into the creation of an innovative blockchain. It is a Layer 1 network that is both EVM-compatible and powered by a unique Proof of Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism. With this mechanism, validators not only stake tokens but also provide liquidity. Through its Proof of Liquidity (PoL) model, Berachain leverages active liquidity providers to secure the network, effectively turning capital into a core security resource.
This groundbreaking approach has attracted significant financial backing, with the project raising $142 million in its latest funding round. As of January 2, the Berachain official website reports that 234 protocols are actively participating in its bArtio Testnet. BERA is a gas token, used for transactions and staking within its ecosystem.
Berachain, powered by the BeaconKit modular consensus layer and built on the Cosmos SDK, offers flexibility for Ethereum-based blockchains. It enables developers to create both Layer-1 and Layer-2 solutions without needing to rewrite programming languages. Recently, Berachain launched Boyco, a pre-launch liquidity platform in collaboration with Enso and LayerZero, designed to address the cold start issue for new decentralized applications. Boyco’s pre-deposit vaults have already reached $2.2 billion.
Celebrate the BERA Launch with a prize pool of 19,100 BERA & 50,000 USDT
In a significant show of support for Berachain and its expansive ecosystem, MEXC is set to list the new BERA token. This move not only underscores MEXC’s commitment to pioneering blockchain projects but also connects users with a dynamic network that fuels cutting-edge initiatives.
MEXC, known for quickly listing trending tokens, expands its offerings with Berachain (BERA). The BERA/USDT trading market officially launched in the Innovation Zone on February 6, 2025, at 13:00 (UTC), followed by the introduction of the BERA USDT perpetual futures at 13:10 (UTC), offering adjustable leverage from 1x to 50x with both cross and isolated margin modes.

Kraken appoints former Paxos executive as its new chief legal officer
- Kraken has appointed former Global General Counsel as legal chief
- The exchange recently gained an EU MiFID license for regulated trading
- With the new legal chief, Kraken aims to navigate US regulatory challenges
Kraken has appointed Ben Gray, former Global General Counsel at Paxos, as its new Chief Legal Officer.
The news comes a day after securing a Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) license.
This strategic move comes as the cryptocurrency exchange aims to navigate the increasingly complex regulatory landscape while expanding its offerings in the European market.
A timely appointment
Kraken’s decision to bring Gray on board is seen as a significant step towards strengthening its legal and compliance framework.
Gray’s deep experience in the cryptocurrency sector, particularly from his tenure at Paxos where he managed legal, compliance, and enterprise risk, positions him perfectly to lead Kraken through its current regulatory challenges.
His background also includes working with Binance, showcasing his versatility in handling the multifaceted legal issues within the crypto industry.
The timing of Gray’s appointment could not be more critical. Kraken has been under scrutiny from regulators, notably from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which accused the exchange of operating as an unregistered securities platform.
With this legal battle in the backdrop, Gray’s leadership in legal affairs is expected to be instrumental in navigating these challenges. His role will encompass overseeing Kraken’s legal strategy, ensuring compliance, and managing enterprise risks, all of which are vital for the company’s operations both in the US and abroad.
In the official announcement of the appointment of Gray, Kraken’s co-CEO Arjun Sethi expressed enthusiasm about Gray’s addition to the leadership team, emphasizing his role in scaling the business and fighting for regulatory clarity.
Sethi’s comments reflect a broader vision where Kraken not only seeks to expand its geographical footprint, but also aims to set industry standards for security, innovation, and compliance. This vision is particularly relevant in Europe, where Kraken sees substantial growth potential and where regulatory compliance can act as a competitive edge.
