BOB announces DeFi Incentive Program in collaboration with Optimism - BOB Rise
Source: BOB

On February 25, the hybrid Layer2 project BOB (Build on Bitcoin) announced a partnership with Optimism to launch a DeFi incentive event called BOB Rise. The event aims to accelerate the development of BOB's BTC DeFi ecosystem by incentivizing liquidity providers and supporting the lending of Bitcoin liquidity staked tokens (LST).
BOB's 750,000 OP tokens were obtained from the Optimism Grant in the sixth quarter of last year. The primary goal of the BOB Rise event is to reward users who deposit BTC assets into BOB across four major DeFi protocols. The 750,000 OP tokens will serve as a reward for users who deposit BTC into BOB.
BOB Rise Event Details
The BOB Rise event will take place from 2025.2.24 to 2025.6.23, lasting for 4 months. The 750,000 OP token rewards are distributed among five DeFi protocols within the BOB ecosystem. These protocols were carefully selected by the BOB team based on their market influence, execution capability, and ability to drive sustained growth through a rigorous application process.
Rewards will accumulate every 8 hours during the event, and users can claim them at any time until one month after the end of the event.
Participation in the event is straightforward. Users only need to deposit BTC into four DeFi protocols on BOB (they can choose any one or deposit into all four protocols simultaneously). The higher the participation weight, the more OP tokens will be distributed among the participants:
· Oku (Uniswap): Uniswap's professionally deployed trading interface on BOB, enabling advanced DeFi trading.
· Euler: A decentralized permissionless lending protocol that allows users to earn interest on crypto assets or hedge market volatility without needing a trusted third party. Euler has undergone audits by multiple security firms and offers a $1 million bug bounty program.
· Veda-supported HybridBTC.pendle Treasury: This is a BTC treasury where users deposit BTC into BOB, earn yields on Pendle (Ethereum), and automatically receive the BTC returns back to BOB users. This BTC treasury is operated by Veda, the first native yield layer built for the DeFi ecosystem, providing technical support for various mainstream DeFi treasury products such as ether.fi Liquid, Lombard DeFi Vault, etc. The platform has accumulated a TVL of $3 billion to date.
· Gamma: Gamma achieves Uniswap liquidity management automation through auto-rebalancing to help users maximize yield.
· Hourglass: Allows users to lock funds for a certain period to increase their rewards or mining scores, similar to Pendle.
BOB Co-Founder Alexei Zamyatin stated: "BOB's hybrid L2 model has a unique natural advantage that combines Bitcoin's liquidity and security with Ethereum's scalability and innovation, making Bitcoin a core pillar of DeFi. The launch of the BOB Rise event aims to show users the market potential of our newly launched Hybrid BTC this week. Users just need to deposit BTC into BOB to earn rewards from other chains, with the entire process being secured by the Bitcoin network. The first treasury of Hybrid BTC earns rewards from Pendle on Ethereum and automatically returns the earned BTC rewards to users on BOB."

Foreign selling in the South Korean stock market accelerates, with cumulative net sales reportedly reaching $75 billion this year
On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month. According to the data cited in the report, foreign investors have sold about $75 billion worth of South Korean stocks so far this year. Meanwhile, South Korean retail and institutional investors together recorded roughly $69 billion in net buying over the same period, suggesting that the market’s main buying support has come from domestic capital rather than returning overseas funds. The information currently disclosed still mainly comes from The Kobeissi Letter’s retelling and Goldman Sachs data summaries, while public details on the statistical period and the specific definition of “selling” remain relatively limited.

Scaling Crypto Derivatives: The Digital Asset Infrastructure Behind High-Volume Trading
In the fast-moving digital asset ecosystem, derivatives platforms face an extreme architectural test. High-leverage futures markets demand more than just standard security—they require absolute operational precision, zero-latency matching engines, and ironclad structural scalability, all while navigating intense market volatility.
As global platforms scale to meet these demands, the industry is shifting away from rigid, monolithic setups toward a more agile, "decoupled" infrastructure philosophy.
The Blueprint for High-Volume Copy TradingFor elite global exchanges like WEEX (founded in 2018), this architectural choice becomes critical when scaling high-volume retail features like social copy trading. When thousands of users automatically mirror the real-time strategies of elite traders simultaneously, it triggers sudden, monumental spikes in concurrent transactional volume.
To prevent execution latency or settlement bottlenecks during these peak volatility events, a platform's primary engine must remain entirely dedicated to risk management, copy-trade synchronization, and order matching.
The Architectural Rule: New-generation platforms must separate front-end user execution engines from heavy backend infrastructural overhead to eliminate operational friction.
By separating these layers, platforms can maintain complete sovereignty over their trading environments and user experiences while strategically aligning with institutional-grade infrastructure ecosystems. This strategic framework allows modern exchanges to leverage advanced Digital Asset Custody infrastructure such as Cobo’s behind the scenes, ensuring that backend wallet management scales elastically alongside trading spikes.
Capitalizing on Market Momentum and 400× LeverageIn a derivatives arena where platforms offer up to 400× leverage on perpetual contracts, capital efficiency and market agility are core business metrics. To capture market momentum, an exchange needs the ability to rapidly expand its asset offerings, supporting everything from legacy crypto assets to sudden, trending altcoins across a massive library of trading pairs.
Adopting a flexible, scalable Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution such as Cobo’s could completely rewrite the development timeline for high-growth exchanges. Instead of spending months of engineering capital building out custom backend wallet architectures for every new blockchain network, platforms can deploy localized infrastructure in days.
This agility allows platforms to instantly scale their listings to over a thousand trading pairs without compromising security or delaying time-to-market. It mirrors the exact operational advantages seen during high-velocity market events, similar to how advanced wallet infrastructure empowers platforms during sudden asset surges; allowing exchanges to pass that speed and liquidity directly to their global user base.
A Mature Foundation for GrowthThe synergy between trusted infrastructure ecosystems and global trading platforms represents the natural evolution of a maturing crypto market. As WEEX continues to scale its global spot and derivatives offerings for over 6 million users, adopting robust backend paradigms proves that platforms no longer have to compromise between cutting-edge trading velocity and uncompromised structural security.
