Trading opens Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026, at 6 a.m. ET on Pionex, a global cryptocurrency exchange known for its built-in automated trading bots

MATAWAN, N.J., Oct. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN – MindWave Innovations Inc. USA ("MindWave"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. (NYSE American: APUS), today announced that NILA, the native token of the MindChain network, will be available on Pionex (https://www.pionex.com/en/), with trading scheduled to begin on Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026, at 6 a.m. Eastern Time.

The listing gives eligible users in the jurisdictions served by Pionex a direct, simple route to NILA on an established global exchange, ahead of NILA's planned move to its own network, MindChain.

About Pionex

Pionex is a global cryptocurrency exchange known for its built-in automated trading bots, including grid trading bots, which let users run trading strategies directly on the exchange without writing code or connecting third-party software. A grid trading bot, for example, places a series of buy and sell orders within a price range the user sets.

Access to NILA on Pionex will be subject to Pionex's own eligibility requirements, account verification and jurisdictional restrictions.

How to Access NILA on Pionex

Once trading opens, eligible Pionex users will be able to find NILA under the [NILA/USDT] trading pair. From there, they can trade using the platform's standard order types or apply Pionex's automated tools to the NILA market.

New users can open an account at https://www.pionex.com/en/ and complete Pionex's verification process before trading begins, so they are ready when the market opens.

Why Pionex

MindWave chose Pionex for its global reach and for tools that make it simple for users to participate without specialist software. The listing brings NILA to a wider international audience at an important stage for the MindChain network, as MindWave prepares the network for launch and signs enterprise clients to build on it.

"Listing on Pionex puts NILA in front of a global community of active traders, on a platform built to make trading accessible," said Dr. Vin Menon, Chief Executive Officer of MindWave Innovations Inc. USA. "Our priority is to make NILA available through recognized platforms with proper user protections, and to keep building MindChain into the network NILA was designed for."

What MindChain Is

MindChain is MindWave's Layer 2 network built on Ethereum, recording its transactions to Ethereum for security. MindWave builds and operates dedicated networks on MindChain for enterprise clients. MindWave has recently signed agreements to build AQUAEChain, FlashChain and AssureChain on MindChain.

How NILA Is Used

NILA is the utility and governance token of the MindWave ecosystem and currently exists as a BEP-20 token. Once MindChain is live, NILA will move to its own network, where it is designed to pay network fees, support staking and help secure the chain. Holding NILA on Pionex allows eligible users to hold the token ahead of that move. A Migration Portal and tracking tools are planned to support the transition, subject to legal, regulatory, technical and compliance requirements.
