Thena Finance Announces First Community Call

THENA Perps has expanded its trading offerings to include Hong Kong equities alongside crypto, US stocks, and commodities. **New Trading Pairs Available:** - POPMART - HK1810 (Xiaomi) - TENCENT - ZHIPU - MINIMAX This follows a similar move by Aster, which became the first perpetual DEX to list Hong Kong equities in May 2026, offering up to 3x leverage on these assets. Traders can now access these Hong Kong stocks 24/7 with a crypto wallet, eliminating the need for traditional HK brokerage accounts.

The THENA community has voted decisively in favor of the THENA 2.0 proposal, with **91% approval** following a 5-day governance vote. **What's Next:** - Rebuilding core liquidity infrastructure - Deeper BNB Chain integrations - Development of new financial products - Creating a unified consumer experience The proposal represents a strategic shift for the DeFi protocol after a challenging year. THENA aims to become an **access layer to DeFi on BNB Chain** rather than competing across every vertical. **Long-term Vision includes:** - Consumer finance tools - Perpetuals trading - Real-world assets (RWAs) - AI-powered execution - Mobile-first experience The team emphasized these are directional goals to build toward over time, not immediate deliverables. Priority focuses on strengthening revenue-generating pairs and securing resources for consistent execution. The vote followed two weeks of community discussion and feedback gathering. Implementation now begins.
