Demex Team to Repay Bad Debts with Own Funds
🔧 Demex Debt Cleanup
Demex is taking action to resolve lending issues by repaying outstanding bad debts.
The team announced they will use their own funds to repay and close positions with bad debt, ensuring no lending positions remain stuck. This follows a previous measure where they rolled back extra interest that accumulated on bad debt accounts.
Key points:
- Team will cover all bad debt positions using personal funds
- Ensures all lending positions can be properly closed
- Addresses issue where higher interest rates caused unhealthy positions to grow faster
- Extra interest reversed for accounts with zero collateral that couldn't be liquidated
The move demonstrates the team's commitment to maintaining platform integrity and protecting users from systemic lending issues.

Demex Launches Cross Margin Trading Feature on May 4th
Demex is rolling out **Cross Margin** trading on May 4th, 2026, adding a new layer of flexibility to the platform. **Key Features:** - **Shared margin across positions** - reduces liquidation risk by pooling collateral - **Improved capital efficiency** - deploy funds across multiple trades simultaneously - **Unified balance management** - trade with a single margin pool instead of isolated positions Cross margin differs from isolated margin by using your entire available balance as collateral across all positions, rather than allocating separate funds to each trade. This approach can help traders stay in positions longer during market volatility. The feature launches Monday, May 4th on the Demex platform.

Demex Consolidates Perpetual Pools into Two Main Categories
Demex is restructuring its perpetual trading infrastructure by consolidating all existing perp pools into two main categories: **BTC/ETH** and **Alts Perp Pool**. **Key improvements:** - Deeper liquidity across trading pairs - Improved capital efficiency for traders - Smoother overall trading experience The consolidation aims to concentrate liquidity rather than spreading it across multiple smaller pools, potentially reducing slippage and improving execution for traders.

Demex Shifts Borrow Interest to Fee Collectors in Pool Unwinding Strategy
Demex has implemented changes to its borrow interest mechanism as part of pool normalization efforts. **Key Changes:** - In borrow-only mode, all interest now flows to fee collectors (stakers and LPs) rather than lenders - This strategic shift aims to discourage users from parking funds in pools solely to farm interest during the unwinding process - The platform previously reverted zero-interest curves and introduced return-only mode for all assets The adjustment represents a tactical approach to rebalancing the protocol's liquidity structure while maintaining incentives for active participants in the ecosystem.
Demex Reverts Interest Curves and Introduces Return-Only Mode
Demex is reverting its zero-interest curve back to previous settings and implementing a return-only mode across all assets. This follows a temporary measure where interest rates were set to 0% as a safety precaution. The zero-interest setting was designed to halt interest dynamics that were creating excessive debt positions while the team adjusted parameters and addressed bad debt. The return-only mode represents a new operational framework for asset management on the platform. Users should expect changes to how interest accrues and how positions can be managed going forward. These adjustments are part of ongoing efforts to stabilize the platform's lending mechanics and protect users from parameter-related risks.
