Apia, Samoa, February 19, 2026 — Phemex, a user-first crypto exchange, today announced the launch of its AI-Native Revolution, initiating a company-wide transformation that embeds artificial intelligence into the core of its operating model, product philosophy, and long-term strategic direction.

Rather than introducing AI as a standalone feature, Phemex is restructuring itself around intelligent systems. Artificial intelligence will serve as a foundational layer across management, operations, product development, and strategic planning — shaping how decisions are made, how products are built, and how value is delivered to users.

The strategy shows fundamental changes which are occurring throughout the digital asset sector. The ability of AI to decrease information gaps while figuring out complicated market patterns gives platforms their competitive edge through their machine intelligence execution systems and user interface design. Financial systems of today require AI as their primary operational system because it has become essential for their functioning.

Internally, Phemex is redesigning workflows to embed AI-driven processes that streamline operations and accelerate product iteration. Teams are being equipped to work alongside intelligent systems, shifting focus from repetitive execution to higher-level problem-solving and innovation. The transformation also includes expanding AI capabilities across the organization through talent development and strategic recruitment, ensuring that intelligence is deeply integrated into both technology and culture.

Beyond operational restructuring, Phemex is progressively integrating AI into its platform architecture. Future product initiatives will reflect this AI-native foundation, reinforcing the company’s commitment to building a more intelligent trading environment.

Federico Variola, CEO of Phemex, commented: "The AI revolution is not a trend, it is a structural turning point for our industry. For users, this means more adaptive tools, more efficient execution, and a trading environment that evolves with market complexity. For Phemex, it means rethinking about how we operate at every level, replacing static processes with intelligent systems that enhance speed, precision, and scalability. And for the industry, it signals a shift from feature-driven competition to infrastructure-driven evolution. Exchanges will no longer compete solely on listings or fees, but on how intelligently they integrate technology into their core architecture."

With this revolution, Phemex positions itself to evolve from a technology-enabled exchange into a fully AI-native organization, placing intelligence at the center of its growth, innovation, and long-term industry contribution.
