In the latest GXT Exchange news, the platform posted three separate updates on August 16, 2026, covering its ongoing token presale, a new reward code, and an upcoming staking product.
The updates arrived within hours of each other across the exchange's official channels, giving users a single window into where the pre-sale stands, how to claim a fresh reward code before it expires, and what to expect from the project's next product rollout.
Together, the posts mark one of the busiest update cycles for the exchange since its mining program wrapped up earlier this month, and they come just days before Presale Stage 3 is set to close and less than two weeks before the project's targeted Token Generation Event (TGE).
According to the official launchpad, Presale Stage 3 has sold 1,650,132 of its 2,000,000 token supply, putting it at 82.51% sold as of the latest count. The stage is scheduled to close on August 20, 2026, giving buyers roughly four days before the round ends.
Pre-sale Stage 3 offers tokens at $0.20 each, with 60% unlocking at the Token Generation Event (TGE) and the remaining 40% locked for three months.

Alongside the sales update, the exchange shared a limited redeem code, STAGE-3-END-SOON, offering 15 tokens to users who claim it through the official rewards page before the early token sale round ends.
This follows a similar code the project ran earlier tied to its TGE date, suggesting reward codes have become a recurring part of how the exchange promotes pre-sale milestones.
Key points from the announcement:
Code: STAGE-3-END-SOON
Reward: 15 GXT per claim

Separately, the exchange announced that a new staking product, described as "Staking Futures," is scheduled to launch next week.
According to the official post, the feature will offer yield options described by the project as high APY, alongside what it calls profit growth and premium yield tiers. No exact launch date, rate figures, or lock-up terms were disclosed in the announcement.

Because specific terms have not yet been published, users interested in the feature should wait for the exchange's official rollout post before making any decisions, since early promotional language does not always match final product terms.
Alongside these updates, GXT Exchange's official roadmap shows one discrepancy worth flagging. Earlier tracking of Early token sale Stage 3 pointed to an August 15, 2026, close date, but the roadmap's live countdown now shows the stage ending August 20, 2026.
This suggests the exchange has extended the sale window since the earlier date was last checked, though no separate announcement explaining the change was found on official channels at the time of writing.
Here are the key dates from the official roadmap that matter most right now:
| Milestone | Date | Status |
| Presale Stage 3 close | August 20, 2026 | |
| Token Generation Event (TGE) | August 28, 2026 | Upcoming |
| First centralized exchange listings | August 28, 2026 | Upcoming |
| Staking Futures launch | Next week (exact date not confirmed) | Upcoming |
Note: Readers tracking the early token sale should rely on the live countdown on the official launchpad rather than earlier reported dates, since the schedule has shifted at least once already.
Taken together, this round of GXT Exchange news lines up closely with the project's published roadmap. The presale is the final of three stages before the TGE, which the roadmap lists as targeted for August 28, 2026, alongside the token's first exchange listings.
A staking product launching in the same window would give newly unlocked tokens a use case shortly after they enter circulation.
The exchange has not yet published full mechanics for the staking rollout, so figures like APY should be treated as provisional marketing language until an official product page or documentation confirms them.
This GXT Exchange news cycle shows a presale nearing its close, a fresh reward code for last-minute participants, and a staking product positioned to launch just before the token's TGE.
With the pre-sale ending August 20 and the TGE targeted for August 28, the coming two weeks look to be a dense stretch for the project's roadmap.
