As the global cryptocurrency landscape evolves into a more regulated and mature ecosystem, forward-thinking platforms are aligning their strategies to meet both market demands and compliance standards. XREX Group, a blockchain-native financial institution founded in 2018, is positioning itself at the forefront of this transformation with a clear roadmap for 2025.
Backed by international licenses and a strong presence in Asia, XREX is advancing a three-pronged strategy—crypto exchange innovation, cross-border payment solutions, and regulatory technology (RegTech) development—to build a secure, inclusive, and scalable digital finance ecosystem.
The company’s strategic outlook was recently shared by Winston Hsiao, Co-Founder and Group Chief Revenue Officer, during an AMA session held at XREX’s headquarters in December 2024. Here's a comprehensive look at the five core initiatives driving XREX’s growth in 2025.
Strengthening TWD Trading Depth to Empower Local Investors
One of the most significant barriers to mainstream crypto adoption in Taiwan has been the reliance on stablecoins like USDT for trading. While convenient, this practice limits local economic impact by keeping transaction flows offshore and weakening the liquidity of New Taiwan Dollar (TWD)-based trading pairs.

To address this, XREX introduced TWD deposit and withdrawal services in late 2023, enabling users to trade Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) directly in TWD. This eliminates the need to convert fiat into stablecoins before entering the crypto market, reducing price slippage and improving execution efficiency.
Winston Hsiao draws a compelling analogy: just as investors naturally assess stock prices in TWD—such as calculating that one share lot of TSMC costs approximately NT$1.09 million—crypto investors should be able to evaluate digital assets in their local currency without mental conversion.
In 2025, XREX aims to deepen TWD liquidity across major trading pairs, ensuring competitive pricing and tighter spreads. By building a robust domestic trading ecosystem, XREX is laying the foundation for what it calls the “era of全民 Bitcoin investment”—a future where crypto participation becomes as intuitive as traditional stock trading.
This initiative not only supports retail investors but also strengthens Taiwan’s position within the global digital asset economy.
Enhancing User Experience Through Intuitive UI Design
In fast-moving crypto markets, clarity and ease of use are critical. A cluttered or confusing interface can lead to missed opportunities or costly errors—especially for new users.
XREX is committed to making its platform accessible to everyone, from seasoned traders to first-time investors. In 2025, the company will continue refining its user interface (UI) across all products, focusing on three key areas:
- Information transparency: Providing real-time data on spot trading pairs, including price history, volume trends, and asset fundamentals.
- Personalization: Remembering user preferences, such as default quote currencies or frequently traded tokens.
- Guided workflows: Simplifying complex features like grid trading bots with contextual tips and step-by-step setup guidance.
For example, XREX recently redesigned its token discovery page, allowing users to explore cryptocurrencies by theme—such as AI, DeFi, or gaming—and sort them by performance metrics or market cap. This thematic approach helps users identify promising projects aligned with their interests.
These enhancements reflect XREX’s belief that user-friendly design is not just about aesthetics—it’s a form of financial inclusion.
Expanding Financial Education with XREX Academy
Education remains a cornerstone of XREX’s mission. Recognizing that knowledge gaps hinder broader adoption, the company launched XREX Academy, a free four-week program designed to demystify blockchain technology and digital finance.
Since its inception, the academy has hosted 34 cohorts with over 500 alumni. The curriculum covers essential topics such as:
- Blockchain and Bitcoin fundamentals
- Ethereum and smart contract mechanics
- Fungible vs. non-fungible tokens (NFTs)
- Best practices for securing digital assets
In 2025, XREX plans to scale its educational outreach by launching online courses and partnering with enterprises to deliver customized blockchain training programs. This expansion will allow professionals across industries—from finance to logistics—to understand how decentralized technologies can transform their fields.
“Blockchain isn’t a threat—it’s an opportunity,” said Hsiao during the AMA. “With proper education, anyone can participate in the future of finance.”
By investing in financial literacy, XREX is fulfilling its social responsibility while cultivating a more informed and resilient user base.
Global Expansion via XREX Pay from Singapore Hub
Regulatory clarity in key markets is accelerating institutional adoption of crypto-based financial services. In May 2024, XREX Singapore obtained a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), authorizing it to offer six core payment services:
- Account issuance
- Domestic and cross-border money transfers
- Merchant acquisition
- E-money issuance
- Digital payment token services
Leveraging this license, XREX launched XREX Pay in September 2024—a B2B platform enabling businesses to conduct cross-border payments using fiat, stablecoins, or cryptocurrencies. Think of it as a blockchain-powered corporate banking solution: companies can now transfer funds internationally via mobile app without opening overseas bank accounts.
While currently unavailable in Taiwan due to regulatory constraints, XREX Pay is poised for international growth in 2025. The company will use its Singapore base as a springboard to expand into Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.
This move underscores XREX’s vision of bridging traditional finance with decentralized infrastructure to serve underbanked markets and global SMEs.
Advancing Compliance with XRAY RegTech Solutions
As regulators intensify scrutiny on illicit activities in crypto, compliance tools are becoming mission-critical. In June 2024, XREX entered the RegTech space with XRAY, a blockchain analytics tool that functions like an “X-ray” for wallet addresses.
Users can input any wallet address to instantly view:
- Associated exchange or service provider
- Asset types and balances
- Risk indicators (e.g., links to darknet markets or scam contracts)
XRAY is already being tested by law enforcement agencies and offers both a web version and a LINE chatbot for easy access. In 2025, XREX will enhance XRAY with AI-driven transaction pattern analysis, improving detection accuracy and response speed.
This initiative aligns with industry-wide trends toward responsible innovation, where security and transparency are built into every layer of the financial stack.
