Bitget listed AEONUSDT for futures trading on July 27, 2026 (UTC+8), offering a maximum leverage of 20x along with support for automated trading bots. The contract settles in USDT, uses a tick size of 0.00001, and charges funding fees every four hours, with trading available around the clock.
AEON is built as settlement infrastructure for what its backers describe as the agentic economy, aiming to address fee overhead, programmability gaps, and settlement delays for AI-driven transactions. The project uses protocols including x402, ERC-8004, Google AP2, and MCP, and says it already serves more than 2 million users processing roughly 30 million monthly transactions. It counts YZi Labs, IDG Capital, HashKey Capital, and the Stanford Blockchain Builders Fund among its backers.
PoolX Airdrop Accompanies the Listing
Alongside the futures launch, Bitget opened a PoolX program letting users lock BGB and AEON tokens to share a pool of 1,166,666 AEON tokens. The lock-and-earn structure is designed to reward early holders who commit tokens to the platform rather than trading them immediately after listing.
CandyBomb Contest Adds a Trading Incentive
Bitget also launched a CandyBomb promotion tied to AEON futures trading, running from July 27 to August 3, 2026 at 11:00 UTC, with a prize pool of 166,666 AEON tokens split among participants who trade the newly listed futures contract. Combined, the futures listing, PoolX airdrop, and CandyBomb contest form a coordinated push by Bitget to drive early trading volume and liquidity into the new AEON market.
