Exclusive interview with WEEX VP Andrew Weiner

Singapore, 17 July 2024 – BlockBeats, a leading crypto media outlet, recently had the privilege of interviewing Andrew Weiner, the new Vice President of WEEX English market. With a rich background in the cryptocurrency industry, Andrew shared his career insights, the benefits of WEEX and the platform’s future plans.

BlockBeats: Can you give a quick overview of your experience in the cryptocurrency industry? I noticed you were the VP at MEXC Global

Andrew Weiner: I started at iComply Investor Services, where I developed a patented off-chain cryptographic authentication system for the secure processing of sensitive consumer data in compliance with travel rule requirements.

Later I joined MEXC Global and eventually became Vice President and Spokesperson. During my time there, I helped grow the user base from 6 million to 12 million by forming strategic partnerships with top project developers and key opinion leaders, greatly enhancing MEXC’s market presence.

Why WEEX? Andrew Weiner on the Unique Benefits of the Rising Crypto Platform

BlockBeats: Now that you are the VP at WEEX, what do you think sets WEEX apart from other platforms?

Andrew Weiner: WEEX, is emerging as a key, all-in-one destination for derivatives, copy trading and innovative DeFi projects. It provides high-quality user experiences for professional and casual traders, setting a new standard in delivering these experiences by providing a comprehensive platform that meets the needs of various trader profiles with one login and seamless access to all desired features.

Andrew Weiner: The trading platform market is far from saturated, there is an overwhelming demand for access to these products worldwide, especially in derivatives trading. As I said at Blockchain Futurist 2022, there is up to $19 trillion of real assets and innovation coming to this space. This influx of capital from traditional financial players to blockchains is just beginning.

WEEX bridges the customer service gap between Traditional Finance, Centralized Finance and Decentralized Finance, positioning itself as a primary destination for millions of users by the end of 2024.

BlockBeats: WEEX recently launched its own platform token. What unique qualities do you think WXT has compared to other platform tokens?

Andrew Weiner: The WEEX community and their passion for sharing our brand is the reason we’ve enjoyed such incredible success thus far. With this in mind, we designed $WXT to make each holder a full-fledged partner in the continued growth of our audience, enjoying the value that will be created along the way – which is a much deeper relationship than our competitors engage with their audience.

BlockBeats: What scenarios and potential benefits do users experience when holding WXT?

Andrew Weiner: $WXT is a reinvestment in the users who have made us a leader in the cryptocurrency futures trading space, offering trading fee discounts, exclusive rewards and a voice in the future development of WEEX. Utility will continue to be added as we finalize several exciting strategic partnerships in 2024. Our commitment to our WEEXer army is that no other platform token will empower its community of holders to have as much value and influence as we have planned for WXT holders.

BlockBeats: What gaps in the trading platform market does WEEX plan to fill?

Andrew Weiner: WEEX seeks to consolidate access to multiple services, reducing friction for traders currently using multiple platforms. Many users have accounts on multiple platforms due to access issues, service availability or other frictions. Until this is consolidated, there will be an opportunity for a brand like WEEX to be that proverbial 3rd place in a gem hunter’s daily routine. Familiar, reliable, safe and comfortable – everything you want from what can be an emotionally charged experience. This is WEEX. Everything you need, in one single place, without any hassle.

BlockBeats: After FTX, the market doesn’t seem to approve of exchanges with their own market makers. Do you think CEXs should have their own market makers instead of using mainstream external market makers?

Andrew Weiner: No, exchanges should not act as their own market makers. The focus should be on user experience, security and service reliability. Any conflict of interest, as seen in the FTX case, must be avoided. As I said on the Mario Nawfal podcast after that event, proof of reserves is essential to maintaining consumer confidence, and any incestuous relationship between entities should be avoided.

BlockBeats: Nowadays, almost every exchange has its own on-chain ecosystem, essentially backed by a blockchain. What are WEEX’s plans regarding on-chain development?

Andrew Weiner: In the near future, WEEX will offer our network of developers unique opportunities to collaborate more deeply and launch their exciting new innovations with us.

We hope to reveal more in the coming months, but I cannot reveal anything further about our WEEX Wealth initiative at this time.

Since 2018, WEEX has become a top cryptocurrency exchange known for its strict security and user-focused platform. Licensed by US and Canadian MSBs and SVGFSA, it offers 116 spot trading pairs and 225 futures trading pairs, with more than five new pairs added daily.
