HootDex is expanding again and this time we’re bringing synthetic equity exposure directly into the decentralized exchange. EquiTrack Tokens, the onchain synthetic representations of major global equities and ETF benchmarks, are officially rolling out on HootDex.

During a recent system stress test, a glitch was identified in the Order Book Depth for a specific DBT token, which resulted in phantom data appearing within the test environment. It is important to note that this data did not originate from the Central Limit Order Book, the trading systems, or any live market feeds. The purpose of these periodic stress tests is to expose any anomalies or vulnerabilities before they can affect real‑time operations, ensuring that our members remain fully protected. This particular issue has already been isolated and addressed, and further testing continues to reinforce the stability and reliability of the entire ecosystem.

MetaMask onboarding is now fully integrated into the Pecu Wallet, providing a simple and secure way for users to acquire PECU in order to swap for a range of Pecu Novus‑based assets on HootDex. This enhancement creates a frictionless entry point into the ecosystem and strengthens institutional scalability through seamless use of Pecu Wallet Access Keys. HootDex becomes easier to access, easier to trust, and easier to scale globally, with access keys working smoothly across connected trading platforms. Institutions can also integrate multiple keys within a single system, enabling convenient multi‑wallet trading.

Following the Pecu Novus 3.0 Themis upgrades that has been rolling out in phases, which added ERC-20/EVM compliance on a Pecu Novus on a protocol level recently, there was a process of having all tokens created on the blockchain to be compliant as well, we are happy to say that as of today all tokens that have been minted via HootDex, that are trading on HootDex, are all ERC-20 compliant. This allows for portability across ERC-20 platforms that allow it.

A series of yield bearing XMG Prime Yield Tokens "XPYT" and XMG Apex Yield Tokens "XAYT" have been added to HootDex for price discovery, they will be available on an OTC basis initially once all are priced out and made available for broader acquisition in the near future.

Upgrades to the HootDex FIX API will show the consumption of data from the Pecu Novus blockchain, treasuries, smart contact data and other important information for institutions and aggregators.

HootDex is rolling out an upgrade to its treasury reporting system, ensuring every token on the platform displays transparent, on‑chain collateral backing through the Pecu Novus digital asset treasury. These improvements will appear across HootDex throughout the week as part of our commitment to clearer, verifiable token data.

A series of XMG Apex Yield Tokens (XAYT) and XMG Prime Yield Tokens (XPYT) are now being added to HootDex, expanding the Digital Credit Note token ecosystem with two fully PNP16 and ERC‑20 compliant yield instruments.

Over the coming week, formal pricing will be initiated for each DCN, and until that process begins, there will be no active price discovery on the platform. Both yield tokens will distribute returns hourly, and all trading will occur strictly on an OTC basis, ensuring proper suitability and institutional‑grade handling. While secondary market opportunities may emerge away from HootDex over time, XAYT and XPYT will always retain the same smart‑contract data, functions, and treasury‑backed structure, regardless of where qualified counterparties choose to transact.

XMG Tokens are undergoing a scheduled pricing recalibration today to support continuous 24/7/365 real‑time valuation across all XMG asset classes. During this maintenance window, from 10:30am to 12:30pm GMT, some dashboards and market feeds may temporarily display incorrect or incomplete pricing data.

This recalibration ensures that every XMG Token—USXM, UKXM, EUXM and others—remains fully synchronized with live composite pricing and DAT‑backed valuation at all times. All collateral, balances, and positions remain safe and unaffected.

HootDex is entering its next phase of institutional alignment with the transition from CryptoPairs to Hybrid Tokens, a naming evolution that reflects the platform’s growing sophistication and the expanding role these assets play across global markets. While the name is changing, the underlying structure, mechanics and on‑chain behavior of each asset remain exactly the same. Hybrid Tokens continue to deliver the same transparent, self‑custodied, smart‑contract‑driven exposure that traders rely on,  now with terminology that better matches the expectations of institutional desks, structured‑product teams and cross‑asset analysts.

The shift to Hybrid Tokens is designed to more accurately describe what these instruments represent: a dual‑asset synthetic exposure that blends Bitcoin with a second asset such as a fiat currency, commodity or digital asset. The term “Hybrid” is widely used in institutional finance to describe cross‑asset structures, hybrid notes and multi‑factor derivatives, making it a natural fit for the products already trading on HootDex. This naming update brings the platform’s terminology in line with the language used by global trading desks, risk managers and portfolio strategists.

Importantly, nothing changes in how these tokens function. Hybrid Tokens still operate through the same decentralized CLOB architecture, the same transparent pricing logic and the same non‑custodial settlement model that defines HootDex. They remain fully on‑chain, fully self‑custodied and fully decentralized, with no intermediaries, no custodial risk and no operational changes for traders. The update is purely semantic, reflecting the platform’s evolution and its commitment to clarity, precision and institutional‑grade standards.

As HootDex continues to expand its global footprint, the move to Hybrid Tokens strengthens the platform’s positioning among professional traders, liquidity providers and institutions seeking transparent and high‑integrity digital market infrastructure. It also sets the stage for future cross‑asset products, deeper integrations and broader adoption across both traditional and digital markets.
