WorldX Exchange Announces Community Owned Digital Asset Exchange Powered by WorldX Ventures
Dubai, UAE, February 19th, 2026, Chainwire
WorldX Exchange today announced its launch as a community-owned digital asset exchange designed for a market that is growing fast but still faces a structural issue: trust is difficult to verify, and incentives are often misaligned.
Across the industry, users frequently cannot easily validate how an exchange manages risk, how customer asset coverage is maintained, how execution quality compares across venues, or how listing decisions are governed. At the same time, communities often drive liquidity and adoption but do not meaningfully participate in long-term value creation. WorldX Exchange is being built to address these gaps with a model centered on evidence, clear operating standards, and community alignment.
WorldX Exchange is co-founded by Sky Wee and Nolan deFouw.
Sky Wee on the market problem
Sky Wee, co-founder of WorldX Exchange, said, “After years in this market, the real problem became obvious. The biggest risk is when trust is treated like branding instead of something people can check. Users deserve an exchange where transparency is built in, standards are clear, and the community is aligned for the long term.”
Nolan deFouw on what the market needs next
Nolan deFouw, co-founder of WorldX Exchange, said, “Crypto markets have matured, but the user experience still forces people to make high stakes decisions with incomplete information. Too often, transparency arrives after problems happen. We believe the next standard is proactive proof. Show the evidence, publish the rules, and make accountability visible before scale. That is the direction we are taking with WorldX Exchange.”
What a community owned exchange means at WorldX Exchange
WorldX Exchange is designed so the community is positioned to participate in long term value creation, not only contribute activity.
Community owned at WorldX Exchange is intended to mean:
- A rules based participation model with defined terms
- A measurable approach supported by transparent reporting
- A long duration alignment design that rewards sustained participation
- A structure that supports ecosystem growth beyond trading activity
Any community participation mechanisms, if introduced, will be offered only where lawful and may be subject to jurisdictional requirements and eligibility criteria.
Trust that can be checked through the WorldX Trust Hub
WorldX Exchange is building a Trust Hub designed to make key trust signals easier to evaluate over time. The intended focus includes transparency for areas such as asset coverage reporting, custody standards, execution quality, and listing discipline. The goal is to move from trust me to evidence based signals that can be reviewed consistently.
Ecosystem building beyond trading
WorldX Exchange is building an ecosystem designed for responsible growth and professional grade operations. This includes onboarding across custody and security, liquidity, compliance tooling, payments and on and off ramps, market integrity, and partner integrations, with an emphasis on disciplined execution and clear accountability.
Powered by WorldX Ventures
WorldX Exchange is powered by the WorldX Ventures framework, which provides the underlying trust and transparency layer and supports ecosystem integrations.
