The Evolution of Wallet Products on a Leading Exchange

Remember half a year ago? Wallet features were simply unbearable, and we had to complain about the development team every month. But at the start of this year, they directly delivered a big move.

The updated wallet now supports direct integration with contract trading. This is not just a simple UI optimization but a reconstruction of the underlying technology—supporting perps derivatives trading and breaking down the ecological barriers between spot and futures.

From a rudimentary asset management tool to a comprehensive wallet platform that integrates the derivatives market. What does this transformation signify? Exchanges are redefining the boundaries of wallet functions, no longer just for storage and transfers, but as an entry point for trading.

In early 2026, such product innovations will become increasingly frequent.

Really, I was about to uninstall that broken wallet from half a year ago. Now with this direct-connected contract, it's truly excellent. Finally no more back-and-forth transfers. A one-stop spot for spot and contracts. This is what a proper exchange should look like. Basically, it's about grabbing traffic entry points—wallets turning into trading platforms, very clear logic. But whether the underlying reconstruction is reliable or not remains to be tested; previous optimizations also caused issues. Perps directly on the wallet, now beginners have another place to lose money, haha. This is probably a sign of intensified Web3 competition—if you can't compete on technology, compete on product experience. Curious what tricks they can come up with next.

Really? You can play perps directly in the wallet? Then my complaints from half a year ago were all for nothing. Finally, no more switching between apps back and forth. This move is really impressive. But honestly, with the wallet becoming the trading gateway, it feels like the next step is just to harvest the little guys... By the way, how did they suddenly have an epiphany? Their previous products could really kill the popularity.

Six months ago, I was cursing them fiercely, and now I've been slapped in the face... but I have to say, the perp's direct connection move is indeed brilliant. Finally, no more switching applications back and forth.

Half a year ago, I was cursing every day, and now I’m directly playing with perps. The pace is pretty intense. Futures trading is integrated with spot, finally no more jumping between multiple apps. Nice. Wallet has evolved from a piggy bank into a trading platform. This is exactly what I wanted. But I’m worried that one-click trading might lead to one-click bankruptcy. Haha. Product innovation in 2026 definitely needs to accelerate; the competition is getting fiercer.
