According to JP Mullin, OKX’s December 5, 2025 notice on “OKX to support OM crypto migration” contains factual discrepancies versus official MANTRA governance materials. Source: JP Mullin on X, Dec 8, 2025. He states that MANTRA Governance Proposal 26 specifies the migration will occur only after the ERC-20 OM token is fully deprecated, with the deprecation deadline on January 15, 2026, rendering any December 22–25, 2025 migration timeline technically impossible.

He adds that Proposal 26 conditions the final launch date on successful completion of further technical review and that no official implementation date has been announced. Source: JP Mullin on X, Dec 8, 2025; Source: MANTRA Governance Proposal 26. Mullin asserts the correct sequence is to complete ERC-20 deprecation first (by January 15, 2026) and only then implement the token split and ticker change at a to-be-announced date.

For traders, he recommends withdrawing OM from OKX, migrating via official MANTRA channels, and following only official MANTRA communications to avoid acting on incorrect timelines.

He further claims OKX unilaterally set specific dates without consulting MANTRA and has not communicated with the team since April 13, causing market confusion and harming investor confidence.

According to @thedaoofwei, citing Simon Taylor on X, Airwallex raised $330M at an $8B valuation, topped $1B in annualized revenue up 90% year over year, processed $235B+ in transaction volume, and is relocating its headquarters from Melbourne to San Francisco, signaling strong traction in cross-border B2B payments infrastructure; source: @thedaoofwei. The source highlights that Airwallex is positioned as multi-rail treasury infrastructure for CFOs managing 20+ local clearing systems, FX, and cross-border settlement, distinct from developer-first providers like Stripe with some product overlap as it expands in the US; source: @thedaoofwei. The thread details a risk debate after Keith Rabois raised concerns about a potential Chinese backdoor, noting China’s National Intelligence Law can compel cooperation, Airwallex has engineers in Shanghai, and Tencent is an investor, making jurisdictional risk scrutiny relevant for firms handling sensitive financial data; source: @thedaoofwei. Airwallex’s stated controls include US data stored only in the US or Singapore, no production data access for Chinese engineers, and independent SOC 2 audits, with the suggested industry answer being auditable code reviews, data residency attestations, and third-party verification; source: @thedaoofwei. The source concludes that despite geopolitical debate, execution and CFO demand around settlement times and FX spreads underpin the $8B valuation, with the attention potentially acting as free marketing as the company enters the US; source: @thedaoofwei.

According to @garyblack00 referencing a video from Tesla’s Miami autonomy-visualized event, an Optimus unit mimicked removing a non-existent headset and then fell to the ground as if powered down, raising questions about tele-operation versus AI-driven autonomy (source: @garyblack00; video: @cixliv on X).
