Trakx 2025 Recap & 2026 Outlook

2025 has been a year of consolidation and direction for Trakx.

Rather than competing only for retail users one by one in a crowded market, the company focused on what it does best: building robust, rules-based index infrastructure that other players can rely on. The result is a clearer positioning:

• Trakx as an infrastructure provider for crypto indices
• Growth increasingly driven by B2B2C partnerships and the IFA segment
• Improved UX/UI experience for both partners, institutional and retail investors

On top of this strategic shift, 2025 was marked by:

• Significant improvements to the platform and internal processes
• A stronger commercial pipeline
• Progress on regulatory alignment and funding

Strategy: pivot to B2B2C and IFA-led distribution

With a solid technology stack in place, Trakx shifted its focus toward B2B2C distribution:

• Target segments:
  • Medium to large fintechs,
  • Neobrokers,
  • Mass-market retail brokers,
  • Independent Financial Advisors (IFAs) looking for diversified, rules-based crypto exposure for their clients.
• Pipeline:
  • 200+ potential partners mapped,
  • Around 20 active discussions,
  • A target to onboard 2–3 strategic B2B2C partners by 2026.
• Geography:
  • Scaling our efforts in France and Europe,
  • Expanding in go-to-market across GCC, Asia and the USA.

The company also:

• used the quieter summer months to prepare a more intensive commercial push in the winter, reviewing collateral, contracts and the introducer network;
• launched a business finder program with clear referral terms, KYC/AML controls and success-based compensation, designed to accelerate B2B2C deal flow.

The IFA segment progressed well in 2025, supported by a new dedicated dashboard and active pilots, with a growing pipeline of distribution agreements under review.

To strengthen this strategic shift, Trakx also welcomed Michael Teryazos as Senior Advisor for Global Expansion & B2B2C Strategy, bringing over two decades of fintech experience across Europe, North America and Asia.

Tech & Product: what actually shipped in 2025

IFA dashboard and platform UX

On the product side, the Trakx platform underwent major developments:

• Launch of a powerful IFA dashboard, enabling advisors to:
  • manage end-client portfolios directly,
  • monitor performance in real time.
• Continued work to simplify and streamline the web interface, making index investing more intuitive and closer to what users expect from modern financial apps – without sacrificing transparency or rules-based methodology.

At the same time, infrastructure spend was materially reduced while maintaining platform stability and performance, improving efficiency and scalability.

Mobile experience

2025 was also the year Trakx completed its first full mobile experience:

• Mobile UX and UI were significantly improved on the web platform, ensuring a smoother experience while the app was in development.
• The v1 mobile app was fully developed and submitted for approval to the Apple and Google app stores, with launch expected between Q1 and Q2 in 2026.

Once live, the app will play a dual role:

• as a natural touchpoint for retail users, and
• as a tangible proof of experience for partners evaluating Trakx for integration across web and mobile.

Trakx also expanded full-app localisation with additional languages to support entry into priority markets, aligning the product with the company’s international B2B2C ambitions.

New CTIs and investing models

The Trakx product shelf continued to evolve, with a consistent focus on transparent, systematic strategies rather than discretionary trading:

• Introduction of DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) – in Q4 2024 / Q1 2025 – as a new investing model, which quickly proved popular among clients seeking gradual, disciplined exposure.
• Launch of two new CTIs across the risk spectrum:
  • EUR Yield CTI – focused on capital preservation and yield,
  • AI Agent CTI – targeting higher-growth exposure using data- and signal-driven allocation within a rules-based framework.
• Ongoing work on a Social Media Trending Token CTI, designed to capture structured exposure to trending tokens, again within a systematic, rules-based structure.

Canton Blockchain and CTI tokens

A central pillar of Trakx’s long-term vision is its work to move its CTIs onchain, starting with Canton Blockchain.

In 2025, Trakx:

• began running its own Canton node,
• became a Featured App on Canton,
• and progressed on a dedicated Canton application for CTI tokens, making its indices natively composable in an institutional-grade, permissioned environment.

This is not a side experiment. It is how Trakx brings its index logic closer to the infrastructure layer, enabling:

• CTIs to exist as native CTI tokens on Canton,
• easier integration for partners already operating on Canton or looking to connect,
• and new models that link real network activity with token-holder incentives.

Throughout the year, Trakx has been designing a framework that connects Canton network rewards and activity to benefits for engaged TRKX holders, within a fully compliant structure. The guiding principle is to align value creation at the infrastructure level with value and governance at the token level.

More details on the Canton–TRKX model are expected to be shared in early 2026, once the legal, technical and economic design is finalised.

TRKX: governance, fee rebates, staking and index inclusion

TRKX continued to evolve as the governance and incentive token at the core of the Trakx ecosystem. Already by 2024, TRKX was listed on multiple exchanges and tracked by major data providers – an important legacy that gave the token liquidity, visibility and easier access for token holders. In 2025, Trakx built on this foundation and integrated TRKX more deeply into the platform’s mechanics.

Key developments include:

• A governance system allowing TRKX holders to vote on key decisions, using a quadratic-weighted model based on balances, designed to balance influence and mitigate “whale” dominance.
• Execution of the first two governance votes, including approval for:
  • TRKX inclusion at a fixed 7% allocation in three indices (RWA, Recovery and CEX) – with rebalancing rules and factsheets updated accordingly.
  • A tiered trading-fee rebate program linked to TRKX holdings, automatically applied at execution: the more TRKX held (or allocated through dedicated programs), the higher is the discount on trading fees.
• Refinement of TRKX staking mechanisms and dashboard, aimed at rewarding long-term, engaged participants and potentially unlocking improved governance, fee levels or access to future programmes.

Marketing, organisation, legal and funding

Marketing & visibility

2025 also saw significant progress on the marketing and brand side:

• Thanks to SEO and referral work, organic platform traffic more than doubled compared to Q1 – reaching about 35,000 daily impressions and 170 daily clicks from organic search results (on average).
• New materials – including one-pagers, presentations and onboarding guides – were produced for IFAs and corporate clients.
• A TRKX-focused awareness campaign was prepared, highlighting:
  • the benefits of token-based governance,
  • access to CTIs,
  • and preferred trading fees.
• A dedicated campaign targeting Bitcoin maximalists, including a useful, anonymous Bitcoin maxi interview, and showcasing products such as BTC Momentum and Bitcoin Control15 as structured, rules-based tools to enhance long-term BTC exposure.
• Media partnerships and brand collaborations were initiated to further increase visibility for the Trakx crypto index suite.

Organisation & operations

Internally, Trakx invested in making the organisation more efficient and scalable:

• Workflows and processes were improved by automating repetitive tasks using AI and workflow-automation tools.
• Internal processes for content, product releases and marketing were restructured to improve cross-team collaboration and execution speed.
• A corporate assistant with legal and paralegal experience was onboarded to support MiCA-related applications and the broader licensing roadmap.

Legal, compliance & funding

On the legal and compliance side:

• Trakx reviewed a number of key legal documents to ensure both effective protection and formats that are faster for third parties to review.
• Preparations continued for a broad commercial outreach program, with legal and compliance frameworks adapted to support scaling.

Financially:

• Trakx reached a €500k funding target between new and existing investors.
• To accelerate growth and expand in the B2B2C segment, the company aims to bring this to €1M, inviting interested investors – particularly those who can bring additional strategic value. This will be partly used to expand its B2B2C segment.

Regulation: MiCA as long-term pillar

Regulation is a core part of Trakx’s strategy rather than an afterthought.

In 2025, the company:

• continued progressing toward full MiCA alignment, adapting processes, documentation and risk frameworks to the new European regime for digital assets;

This regulatory foundation is critical to:

• building trust with regulated partners,
• enabling scalable growth across Europe and other sophisticated jurisdictions,
• and ensuring Trakx can operate confidently across market cycles and regulatory regimes.

Priorities for 2026

Building on the foundations laid in 2025, Trakx has set clear priorities for 2026:

• Convert pipeline into live B2B2C integrations: Turn ongoing discussions with fintechs, neobrokers, brokers and IFAs into 2–3 live integrations with real, recurring usage.
• Advance and communicate the Canton–TRKX framework: Finalise the model linking CTI tokens and Canton activity with TRKX benefits, and explain it clearly to token holders and partners.
• Launch and iterate the mobile app: Bring the app to the main stores, gather feedback and ensure a smooth, coherent experience across web and mobile.
• Refine the CTI product shelf: Introduce new strategies (all-weather, AI-driven, CTI tokens on Canton) only where they add real value, keeping the catalogue focused and understandable.
• Embed MiCA into everyday operations: Make regulatory alignment a structural advantage by integrating it deeply into day-to-day processes.
• Scale users and platforms relying on Trakx infrastructure: Move from pilots and proof-of-concept deployments to embedded, ongoing usage inside third-party platforms.

Trakx exits 2025 with a clearer identity and a stronger foundation: a modular crypto index infrastructure designed for investment platforms, neobanks, wealth managers and fintech players, with CTIs, TRKX and Canton integration providing the building blocks.

The next phase is about scale, integrations and making diversified, rules-based digital-asset exposure available through the platforms people and professionals already use every day.
