MYX Finance
Summary
MYX Finance is a Singapore-based decentralized perpetual futures exchange founded in 2023 by Mark Zhang (Yihao Zhang), a former Huobi futures executive. The protocol raised $10 million across two funding rounds and launched its MYX token via airdrop in May 2025. Following a 1,400% token price surge in September 2025, on-chain analytics firm Bubblemaps alleged the largest Sybil airdrop attack in crypto history — tracing approximately $170 million in token claims across ~100 coordinated wallets back to a wallet linked to the project's creator — and on-chain investigator ZachXBT subsequently identified MYX among a cluster of tokens exhibiting a common supply-control manipulation pattern attributed to an unknown market maker operating through Asian centralized exchanges.
