The rally came after Linea\u2019s new liquidity rewards program went live on Sep. 2, 2025.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Linea Ignition boosts Etherex<\/h2>\n<p>The initiative, called Linea Ignition, will run for two months and distribute 1 billion LINEA tokens to liquidity providers across leading decentralized finance protocols. Among them, Etherex, a MetaDEX built directly on Linea\u2019s zkEVM Layer 2, has emerged as the biggest winner.<\/p>\n<p>Developed in collaboration with Linea, ConsenSys, and Nile Exchange, Etherex functions as the network\u2019s main liquidity hub. It powers major trading pools such as USDC\/ETH, WBTC\/ETH, and REX\/ETH.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Market activity spiked in response. Etherex\u2019s daily trading volume rose 82% to $3.89 million, while its market cap grew to $57.7 million with a fully diluted valuation of $206.8 million. The protocol now secures more than $200 million in total value locked, making it the largest on Linea.<\/p>\n<p>The program\u2019s design has been a key driver. Ignition has created a feedback loop by linking rewards to market volatility and layering REX bonuses. Increased liquidity lowers slippage, which attracts more trading volume and raises incentives for token holders.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Investor confidence and REX price risks<\/h2>\n<p>With ConsenSys-linked wallets consistently increasing their REX holdings, trust in the project\u2019s alignment with Linea\u2019s long-term goals has grown. Social media traders referred to Etherex as a \u201cwhale magnet,\u201d pointing to its fee decay mechanism, x(3,3) token dynamics, and fair emissions model.<\/p>\n<p>But there are still some risks. While rising TVL may gradually reduce yields for liquidity providers, selling pressure may be triggered by the planned Oct. 27 unlock of vested LINEA tokens.<\/p>\n<p>For now, however, Etherex\u2019s deep integration with Linea has solidified its role at the center of the chain\u2019s DeFi activity. The project seems well-positioned to continue its momentum into the last quarter, with Ignition already underway and features like Native Yield integration in the works.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Etherex price surged after Linea launched a major rewards program designed to pump liquidity across its ecosystem.
