SINGAPORE, Jan. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Paradex today announced the official conclusion of XP Season 2, marking a major milestone in the platform's roadmap toward the upcoming $DIME Token Generation Event (TGE).
As part of its continued commitment to trader-first incentive alignment, Paradex confirmed that 25% of $DIME's fully diluted supply will be airdropped to all XP holders at TGE, with tokens fully unlocked at launch.
