The club’s fans made that clear in their response to the 26-year-old’s introduction off the bench against Arsenal on Sunday with Alexander-Arnold booed by large sections of the Anfield crowd. Liverpool supporters are hurt. Alexander-Arnold is expected to join Real Madrid as a free agent this summer. In some ways, there will be no replacing the right back. He is one of the best players in the world in his position and has changed how right-sided defenders are viewed such are his natural levels of creativity and attacking threat.

The Netherlands international was a key part of the Bayer Leverkusen team that won the Bundesliga title last season, contributing 16 goal contributions as Xabi Alonso’s side finished top of the German top flight. This is a quality that has surely drawn Liverpool to Frimpong. Like Alexander-Arnold, he is most effective with the game ahead of him, although Frimpong is a very different sort of right back. He isn’t a true right back at all, instead playing as a right wing back in Alonso’s system. This role doesn’t exist in Arne Slot’s Liverpool set-up. While Alexander-Arnold is a player who likes to create through his crossing and long-range passing, Frimpong prefers to use his speed and directness to get into dangerous positions. Alonso has used the Dutchman as a funnel into the final third for Leverkusen and Slot could utilise him in the same way.

(Photo by Jörg Schüler/Bayer 04 Leverkusen via Getty Images) Defensively, Alexander-Arnold was widely criticised for several flawed performances over the course of his Liverpool career. Frimpong isn’t any stronger in a defensive sense and so his addition to the Liverpool squad would be made with the attack in mind. This is where he would have an impact. Slot guided Liverpool to the Premier League title in his first season at the club, but there is a lot of work to be done in the transfer window this summer. Darwin Nunez could be replaced as Slot seeks a new centre forward. Andy Robertson’s time as Liverpool’s first-choice left might be over. Many fans believe a new central midfielder is also required. Replacing Alexander-Arnold, however, is at the top of the to-do list for the summer.

Mixin has launched USTD-margined perpetual contracts, bringing derivative trading into the chat scene.

The privacy-focused crypto wallet Mixin announced today the launch of its U-based perpetual contract (a derivative priced in USDT). Unlike traditional exchanges, Mixin has taken a new approach by "liberating" derivative trading from isolated matching engines and embedding it into the instant messaging environment.


Users can directly open positions within the app with leverage of up to 200x, while sharing positions, discussing strategies, and copy trading within private communities. Trading, social interaction, and asset management are integrated into the same interface.


Simplified Trading Experience: No KYC Required, Opening a Position in Five Steps


Based on its non-custodial architecture, Mixin has eliminated friction from the traditional onboarding process, allowing users to participate in perpetual contract trading without identity verification.


The trading process has been streamlined into five steps:

· Choose the trading asset

· Select long or short

· Input position size and leverage

· Confirm order details

· Confirm and open the position


The interface provides real-time visualization of price, position, and profit and loss (PnL), allowing users to complete trades without switching between multiple modules.


Social-Native Trading: Strategy and Execution Completed in the Same Context


Mixin has directly integrated social features into the derivative trading environment. Users can create private trading communities and interact around real-time positions:

· End-to-end encrypted private groups supporting up to 1024 members

· End-to-end encrypted voice communication

· One-click position sharing

· One-click trade copying


On the execution side, Mixin aggregates liquidity from multiple sources and accesses decentralized protocol and external market liquidity through a unified trading interface.


By combining social interaction with trade execution, Mixin enables users to collaborate, share, and execute trading strategies instantly within the same environment.


Referral Mechanism: Non-institutional users can receive up to 60% fee split


Mixin has also introduced a referral incentive system based on trading behavior:

· Users can join with an invite code

· Up to 60% of trading fees as referral rewards

· Incentive mechanism designed for long-term, sustainable earnings


This model aims to drive user-driven network expansion and organic growth.


Self-Custody Architecture and Built-in Privacy Mechanism


Mixin's derivative transactions are built on top of its existing self-custody wallet infrastructure, with core features including:


· Separation of transaction account and asset storage

· User full control over assets

· Platform does not custody user funds

· Built-in privacy mechanisms to reduce data exposure


The system aims to strike a balance between transaction efficiency, asset security, and privacy protection.


A New Path for On-Chain Derivatives


Against the background of perpetual contracts becoming a mainstream trading tool, Mixin is exploring a different development direction by lowering barriers, enhancing social and privacy attributes.


The platform does not only view transactions as execution actions but positions them as a networked activity: transactions have social attributes, strategies can be shared, and relationships between individuals also become part of the financial system.


Regulatory Background


Mixin's design is based on a user-initiated, user-controlled model. The platform neither custodies assets nor executes transactions on behalf of users.


This model aligns with a statement issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 13, 2026, titled "Staff Statement on Whether Partial User Interface Used in Preparing Cryptocurrency Securities Transactions May Require Broker-Dealer Registration."


The statement indicates that, under the premise where transactions are entirely initiated and controlled by users, non-custodial service providers that offer neutral interfaces may not need to register as broker-dealers or exchanges.


About Mixin


Mixin is a decentralized, self-custodial privacy wallet designed to provide secure and efficient digital asset management services.


Its core capabilities include:

· Aggregation: integrating multi-chain assets and routing between different transaction paths to simplify user operations

· High liquidity access: connecting to various liquidity sources, including decentralized protocols and external markets

· Decentralization: achieving full user control over assets without relying on custodial intermediaries

· Privacy protection: safeguarding assets and data through MPC, CryptoNote, and end-to-end encrypted communication
