In April 2025, the weekly trading volume of global decentralized exchanges (DEX) hit a record high of US$82.3 billion, a surge of 217% year-on-year. This explosive growth coincided with the US announcement of a 25% tariff reduction on electronic components from China, and the Trump administration's new tariff policy unexpectedly activated the encryption hardware industry chain. Against this backdrop, the XBIT Exchange(Cryptocurrency) decentralized exchange platform, with its original zero-knowledge proof cross-chain protocol, has added more than 128,000 certified users in a single week, becoming the first DEX platform to pass the dual certification of the EU MICA2.0 and the US SEC.

   The relaxation of hardware tariffs has activated the computing power market

   On April 11, Eastern Time, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officially implemented Tariff Adjustment Order No. 8917, reducing the import tariffs on 16 categories of products such as Chinese-made mining chips and encrypted hardware wallets from 125% to 25%.
   This policy directly caused the futures price of Bitmain Antminer S25pro to plummet by 34% in a single day, and the three major mining operators in North America immediately announced an additional purchase order of US$1.2 billion.
   On-chain data shows that within 72 hours after the tariff adjustment, the transaction volume of the decentralized computing power leasing agreement HashFlow soared by 580%, pushing its governance token HFT market value into the top 30 crypto assets.

   DEX becomes the main channel for capital hedging and the DEX ecosystem shows technological differentiation

   Affected by geopolitical risks, DEX saw a net outflow of $4.7 billion in April, the highest record since the FTX incident in 2022. In sharp contrast, Uniswap V4's daily trading volume exceeded $5.8 billion, and its newly launched TWAMM block trading function attracted more than 32,000 institutional accounts.

   It is worth noting that the XBIT decentralized exchange platform successfully intercepted three flash loan attacks against DEX this month with its military-grade security architecture, including a multi-signature cold wallet system and a real-time AI risk monitoring module. Its native token XBT rose 83% during the week, ranking first among decentralized platform coins.

   On-chain data in Q1 2025 showed that the trading volume of DEX based on ZK-Rollup surged 327% year-on-year, while the market share of traditional AMM protocols fell to 41%.

   DEX's latest "Lightning Clearing Engine" compresses transaction confirmation time to 0.8 seconds and supports a maximum transaction throughput of 34,000 transactions per second. The liquidity aggregation protocol of the XBIT Exchange(Cryptocurrency) decentralized exchange platform represented by it has been connected to 32 public chains, providing the industry's lowest slippage rate of 0.15%.

   Decentralized finance enters a period of hardcore innovation

   Executive Order No. 2025-04 issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce includes 12 types of core components of blockchain infrastructure, such as high-end GPUs for artificial intelligence training and quantum-resistant encryption chips, in the tariff exemption list.

   This policy directly targets NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs and Canaan Technology A14 series mining chips made in China. Within 72 hours after it came into effect, Amazon Web Services AWS bulk purchase orders surged by $2.3 billion, pushing the total locked value (TVL) of the decentralized computing power market DePIN protocol to exceed $9.3 billion, and the global pre-order volume of the hardware wallet XKey Pro developed in conjunction with the XBIT Exchange(Cryptocurrency) decentralized trading platform has exceeded 500,000 units.

   With the U.S. SEC approving the issuance of the first DEX security token, DEX is moving from marginal innovation to the core stage of financial infrastructure.
