Probinex simplifies products and referral model
January 31, 2025
Regulations and market dynamics continually push us forward, occasionally presenting obstacles that we adeptly overcome. To ensure maximum stability and attractiveness of the PBX ecosystem, making it compliant with all requirements, we are implementing several significant adjustments. The goal is to simplify products, optimize the referral program, and support the long-term growth of PBX's value.
The MiCA regulation brings great opportunities but also unexpected challenges. One such challenge emerged at the end of last year, affecting the distribution of crypto services. Instead of retreating, we chose to act. The new steps represent a significant simplification for the end user, changes in the referral program, and strategy adjustments to maximize demand for PBX and strengthen the entire Probinex ecosystem.
Changes will affect our StayKing program, the Earnio product, and, last but not least, the referral model.
Adapting strategy for maximum product and PBX attractiveness
In light of new findings, we plan to adjust our existing products and services, as well as the referral model, to fully comply with all requirements while offering the most attractive services to both existing and new clients.
Maximizing product simplification
Simplicity is key to mass adoption. We listened to market feedback and acknowledge that the current Probinex project offering may appear quite complex to the end customer, who largely comprises our target audience. This complexity was also reflected in the referral model, where understanding the ecosystem required considerable knowledge of the crypto world.
Therefore, we have re-evaluated our original strategy and decided to maximize the simplification of the entire Probinex ecosystem, which is crucial for PBX utility and thus long-term consistent demand.
StayKing Levels remain the same and a new strategy to support PBX
StayKing has been and remains a program that rewards Probinex's early adopters for their support. Participants in StayKing can therefore continue to enjoy the best conditions in the entire ecosystem.
With regard to supporting demand for PBX and new strategic opportunities, we have decided to ensure PBX utility in ways other than through StayKing. Therefore, we can announce that by the end of 2025, we will discontinue the possibility of new entries into StayKing.
StayKing currently provides better conditions on Earnio and allows users to receive rewards from the company's overall performance. This model will remain fully functional for existing users, but new entries will no longer be possible.
At the same time, to maintain stability and maximum simplicity, we will not change the limits of individual StayKing levels – they remain as clients are accustomed to. This step gives current users enough time and certainty while we prepare new mechanisms for long-term PBX support.
Postponing the launch of new Earnio variants and fee policy
Based on new information and a more detailed analysis, we have identified the need for several adjustments to the new variants of the Earnio product - Horizon 3Y and the new version of Dynamic. These changes require longer development, so their launch is postponed to the end of the first or the beginning of the second quarter. Our development team is working at full speed, so it's possible that the variants will be deployed even earlier.
It is already clear that the new Earnio variants will include a fee policy to ensure the stability and sustainability of the entire ecosystem. Clients who want to take advantage of entering Earnio without fees have the last chance to allocate their funds now. To strengthen demand for PBX, we plan to introduce token utility in the new Earnio product variants, ensuring better conditions.
For more information and individual consultation, our sales team colleagues are available to help you choose the best strategy.
Referral rewards now in USDC and clear steps toward PBX growth
Due to the favorable status of stablecoins under MiCA, we have decided that in the long term, referral rewards for the project and its products will be paid in USDC.
This step not only strengthens our regulatory position but also supports PBX’s value. Many holders have received tokens from past referrals without engaging in new activity, leading to a natural outflow of PBX to the market. Our goal, however, is to reward all active referrers who continue spreading the vision of Probinex.
Therefore, we aim to gradually transition to a new referral model based on USDC rewards, primarily benefiting active referrers of the project.
We expect the new model to bring:
a fairer and more transparent reward system
reduced pressure on the PBX price
a simpler business model for our partners
However, the development and implementation of this approach will take time. That’s why, starting February 1, 2025, we are introducing a temporary model within the current referral system, which includes the following changes:
Matching bonus for StayKing – Will now be awarded only to referrers who bring in new StayKing allocations of at least $2,500 USD at the first referral level (L1). This bonus does not apply to renewed StayKing agreements and will be paid in PBX.
Matching bonus for Earnio – Will now be awarded only to referrers who bring in new Earnio Dynamic allocations of at least $5,000 USDC. Reallocations will also count toward this total, and the reward will be paid in PBX within a specified timeframe.
The following remain unchanged:
Direct reward for StayKing, still paid in PBX
Direct reward for Earnio Dynamic, set at 3% of new allocations in USDC, which will still be paid in PBX for now
VIP & global bonuses, still paid in PBX
Why these changes? An unexpected challenge from MiCA regulations
We strongly believe that MiCA regulations present a great opportunity for those who are prepared. However, as with any new regulatory framework, unforeseen complications can emerge—sometimes even ones the regulators themselves did not fully anticipate.
At the end of last year, we encountered a previously uncommunicated restriction within this EU-wide regulation on digital assets. This new rule significantly alters the distribution landscape for CASP-licensed services.
The new challenge we face is that only other CASP license holders are now allowed to offer services related to crypto assets.
As a result, we are actively searching for alternative distribution channels while simultaneously adapting our products and referral model to align with this regulatory shift. Our primary goal is to simplify the entire offering, making it even more attractive for end users.
Probinex moves forward. And so do you
Every obstacle is simply another challenge to grow. We have never let anything stop us, and now, we have an even stronger vision for the future.
Maximizing demand for PBX
Reducing selling pressure
Building a robust, regulated platform
These three pillars form the foundation of our future.
This isn’t just about making adjustments. This is the next step in strengthening the entire Probinex ecosystem.
Thank you for being with us. Together, we are making history.
