Dear Partners,
As we head into May, I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude on behalf of the entire Echobit team for your unwavering trust and partnership.
Writing this letter, I find myself thinking back to our earliest days—when the team was just a handful of people, and our daily meetings weren’t about “how to grow” but “how to survive.” It was your early belief in us that gave us the courage to turn an idea into a product, and a product into a global platform. We have never forgotten that trust.
I. Looking Back: From Zero to One
2025 was the year Echobit went from “existing” to “thriving.” Our global registered user base surpassed 100,000, with average daily trading volume holding steady above $300 million. In industry reports, these are cold metrics. But I know what lives behind every number: a late-night campaign by a partner, a patient answer in a community chat, a genuine recommendation at an event.
We built our compliance infrastructure with a “license-first, then scale” philosophy. Today,Echobit holds MSB licenses in the United States and Canada, a VASP license in Czechia, and maintains active memberships in South Korea’s CODE and VerifyVASP alliances—all in alignment with frameworks like MiCA. Honestly, compliance isn’t glamorous, and sometimes it slows us down. But I have always believed that compliance is not a constraint—it is a long-term promise to our partners and users. It means the platform you recommend can stand up to scrutiny.
We also never stopped improving the product itself. Over the past year, we shipped more than 60 feature updates—from trading engine performance to every detail of the user interface. We are always listening to our users and partners. Every bug you reported, every suggestion you made, has pushed this platform to become better.
II. Innovation: The AI Trading Era Begins
Innovation runs in Echobit’s DNA. On April 21, we officially launched EchoAgent—not merely a product update, but a milestone in embedding AI-powered automated decision-making into the Web3 ecosystem.
The motivation behind EchoAgent is simple: crypto markets run 24/7, and no one can truly watch the charts around the clock. We wanted AI to solve this fundamental pain point—connecting intelligent strategy engines with real-time on-chain data so users can make more rational trading decisions, and sleep soundly while doing it.
Starting this May, EchoAgent rolls out at full scale. For our partners, this is more than a feature launch—it is a new growth narrative: deeper user engagement, stronger competitive differentiation, and higher conversion. When your users ask, “What makes you different from other platforms?” EchoAgent is your best answer.
Looking ahead, we will build a more complete AI product suite around EchoAgent, including intelligent risk management, personalized strategy recommendations, and customized services for institutional users. Our goal is clear: to make Echobit the infrastructure of the AI trading era.
III. Ecosystem: Sharing the Dividends of Technology
Our $20 million Venture Fund and Echobit Labs will continue to invest in technological innovation and ecosystem development. This is not a slogan. In the second half of this year, we plan to open more API interfaces and partnership tools, enabling our partners to integrate Echobit’s capabilities into their own business scenarios more flexibly.
I have always believed that in the emerging wave of AI-powered trading, the only way to go further is to build and share together. You are not Echobit’s “channels”—you are co-builders of this ecosystem. Every product upgrade, every policy adjustment we make, begins with the question: how does this benefit our partners?
IV. Looking Ahead: The Next Chapter, Together
In 2026, the entire crypto industry is undergoing profound change. Regulations are tightening, AI is reshaping how trading works, and user expectations for platforms are higher than ever. In this environment, I believe the platforms that will endure are the ones that get three things right simultaneously: compliance, technology, and ecosystem. Echobit is committed to all three.
In the months ahead, you will see more concrete actions on the business side: richer partner incentive programs, more diverse co-marketing support, and a dedicated partner services team. My hope is that every partner feels it clearly: working with Echobit keeps getting easier and more rewarding.
One last thing I want to say from the heart. In the exchange business, the hardest thing to build is not technology—it is trust. Thank you for choosing to believe in us when we were still small. I will not let that trust down. The road ahead is long, and we are glad to walk it with you.
CEO of Echobit
