Deep Dive
1. Futures Listing on WEEX (Bullish Impact)
Overview: WEEX Exchange launched AKE/USDT perpetual futures on October 10, 2025, enabling up to 50x leverage. This followed earlier spot listings on KuCoin, Binance Alpha, and LBank.
What this means: Derivatives access typically attracts speculative capital, amplifying short-term demand. The 24h trading volume of $3.23M (+2.51% from prior day) suggests growing interest, though liquidity remains thin (turnover ratio: 0.131).
What to watch: Sustained open interest and funding rates on WEEX.
2. x402 Payment Integration (Bullish Impact)
Overview: On October 30, AKEDO activated gasless AI payments via x402, allowing users to pay micro-fees for AI tools (GPT, DALL·E) without manual approvals.
What this means: This solves a key friction point for creators, potentially increasing platform adoption. Since AKE is required to fund these transactions, demand could rise as the November 2025 public rollout nears.
3. Technical Rebound (Mixed Impact)
Overview: AKE’s RSI-14 rebounded from 38.9 (neutral) after hitting oversold levels earlier this week. The MACD histogram (-0.0000556) shows bearish momentum easing.
What this means: Traders may interpret this as a short-term buying opportunity, especially with the price ($0.00108) still 45% below its 30-day SMA ($0.00152). However, resistance looms at the 23.6% Fibonacci level ($0.00193).
Conclusion
The 24h gain reflects a mix of speculative trading (via WEEX futures), anticipation of x402’s utility-driven demand, and technical bargain-hunting. However, broader market uncertainty (Fear & Greed Index: 25) and AKE’s -22% weekly drop suggest cautious optimism.
Key watch: Can AKE hold above its pivot point ($0.001125) to sustain momentum ahead of x402’s full launch?
