@OpenLedger Launches $OPEN Buyback to Boost Ecosystem
OpenLedger has announced a buyback program for $OPEN , funded directly by its Enterprise Revenue.
Through this initiative, $OPEN will be repurchased from the open market to improve liquidity, build investor confidence, and support sustainable ecosystem growth.
The move reflects OpenLedger’s commitment to long-term alignment with its community and network stability.
The Vietnamese crypto community has been buzzing over the fallout between Shark Bình (Nguyễn Hòa Bình – founder of NextTech & Next100) and the team behind AntEx (ANTEX), a project once hyped as a local Web3 “unicorn.”
📌 Key Events
=$2.5M Investment Promise
In 2021, Shark Bình announced a $2.5 million investment into AntEx through his fund Next100 Blockchain. However, he later claimed only a fraction of this was disbursed after “discovering irregularities.” Critics allege the actual cash injection was closer to ~2 billion VND (~$80K), far below the PR headline.
=Rug Pull Accusations
Former AntEx insiders accused Shark Bình of orchestrating a “slow rug pull” by controlling liquidity and dumping ANTEX tokens after listing. Reports from the independent group 52Hz Database suggest wallets linked to him received ~$3.66M and that ~$542K in liquidity was gradually removed from the ANTEX/BUSD pool.
=Shark Bình’s Defense
Bình insists he was a victim, claiming betrayal by AntEx’s former CTO and other partners. He says he only acted as a strategic investor/advisor, not the operator of AntEx’s technical or financial systems.
Investor Fallout The controversy has reportedly affected ~30,000 investors, many alleging heavy losses as ANTEX’s price collapsed.
⚠️ Still Unclear
Official regulators have yet to confirm wrongdoing from either side.
Many details come from accusations and independent on-chain analysis, not court rulings.
Both camps blame each other: AntEx insiders say Shark Bình pulled liquidity, while Bình claims he was misled and stopped funding the project.
👉 Bottom line: The AntEx drama highlights the risks of hype-driven fundraising in unregulated crypto markets. Without transparency on token distribution and fund management, investors are left guessing who to trust when projects collapse.

OpenEden Picks DeFi Veteran Arthur Cheong as Strategic Advisor
OpenEden just announced that Arthur Cheong — CEO & CIO of DeFiance Capital — is joining as a strategic advisor.
=Why This Matters
Cheong brings deep DeFi, token, and yield strategy experience.
His role will focus on scaling yield initiatives, institutional-grade on-chain products, and pushing the integration of real-world assets (RWA) into OpenEden’s roadmap.
