edgeX Reschedules $2.2 billion TGE to March 2026, Outlines Key Product Launches

- edgeX postpones its token generation event (TGE) to March 31, 2026, citing market conditions. - The platform reveals a series of product launches, including US stock futures and prediction markets, to precede the TGE. On December 30, 2025, Cryptopolitan reported that the decentralized derivatives exchange edgeX has delayed its token generation event (TGE) to March 31, 2026, citing prevailing market conditions. The edgeX co-founders announced the news during a December 29 community call, where they outlined their revised timeline and plans for the TGE. Despite the delay, edgeX maintains an impressive daily trading volume exceeding $2.2 billion, which firmly establishes its position alongside competitors like Hyperliquid and Aster. During the community call on December 29, edgeX co-founder Shun asserted there was "absolutely no reason to further delay the TGE" beyond March 2026. The platform has laid out an ambitious roadmap to bolster its ecosystem before the TGE. In mid-January 2026, edgeX will launch US stock perpetual futures, followed by prediction markets later that month. In early February, it will release a block explorer and data dashboard featuring enhanced buyback transparency tools. The EDGE chain public testnet will go live shortly thereafter, by mid-to-late February. As part of the TGE, edgeX will distribute 25% of the total token supply at launch, allocating these tokens between points holders and NFT holders. The company will distribute trading rewards earned before the TGE separately from this main allotment. To further enhance user engagement, edgeX recently introduced its community memecoin, MARU. On December 25, the platform distributed 30 million tokens to active users. This initiative underscores the platform’s focus on expanding its user base and improving ecosystem engagement.
