OneBullEx, branded as The AI Futures Exchange, used a university event in Brazil to underline how artificial intelligence is reshaping crypto futures trading and Web3 careers.
On 20 May 2026, the company joined the “Web3 career opportunities” panel at the University of São Paulo (USP), with Brazil country manager Yonn Weigl delivering a 20-minute keynote before a multi-company discussion on digital finance roles, technology trends and regional Web3 opportunities.
Ai shifts from background tool to trading interface
Speaking in Portuguese under the title “AI operates. Humans decide. And you, where do you want to be?”, Weigl described how AI is moving from a back-end process to the primary interface on crypto futures platforms.
He said platforms are evolving from simple execution venues into integrated systems that combine strategy design, performance tracking and risk evaluation. According to Weigl, market success is beginning to depend less on manual execution speed and more on the quality of rules and risk parameters fed into automated systems.
He added that AI is now used not only to execute trades, but also to optimize order matching, predict liquidity levels and scan data sources such as social media for sentiment, creating deeper context for market decisions. Automated tools can process millions of data points and react in milliseconds, a speed that is changing how markets operate and widening the gap between AI-enabled and traditional strategies.
New tools showcased: 300 spartans and OneALPHA
Weigl highlighted two OneBullEx products as examples of this shift:
- 300 spartans: a strategy subscription marketplace that allows the use of USDT and offers performance monitoring through metrics such as net asset value (NAV) and time-weighted rate of return (TWRR).
- OneALPHA: an AI-powered strategy creation tool that lets users describe trading ideas in natural language, validate models and deploy them live.
These tools aim to democratize access to quantitative methods that were previously restricted to specialists, giving a broader base of market participants the ability to design and automate data-driven trading strategies.
Brazil’s rising role in global digital asset markets
The focus on Brazil at the USP event comes as the country consolidates its position as a leading digital asset hub in Latin America.
Global research, including data from Chainalysis, has ranked Brazil fifth worldwide for crypto adoption. Between July 2024 and June 2025, the country received an estimated US$318.8 billion in crypto value, nearly three times Argentina’s volume and accounting for almost one-third of regional activity.
Stablecoins dominate these flows. They represented more than 90% of Brazil’s crypto transactions in that period and over 98% of the US$6.9 billion in overseas crypto purchases in the first quarter of 2026. This mix of high digital fluency, strong cross-border demand and limited access to traditional banking has created fertile ground for testing and scaling AI-driven financial tools.
Weigl argued that Brazil now functions not only as a major user market, but as a fast-developing hub for technical and ecosystem talent.
University–industry links at USP
USP, consistently ranked among Latin America’s top universities, hosted the session in partnership with “Blockchain on the road,” a Blockchain.RIO initiative that connects blockchain businesses with academic institutions. The student-led group Polichain joined to bridge engineering students with ongoing Web3 research and projects.
The panel brought together representatives from Ripple, Banco Inter, Chiliz, Oxus Finance and Biobots, alongside a USP postgraduate student. The discussion focused on how academic work can align with global blockchain infrastructure and how local talent can plug into international projects.
Speakers emphasized that Brazil’s ecosystem is growing across payments, digital banking, stablecoins and tokenized engagement, with universities like USP supplying large numbers of engineers and local organizations driving hands-on blockchain experimentation.
Web3 careers and multidisciplinary skill sets
Weigl used his own trajectory—from crypto trading in 2020 to content creation, incubation management, growth operations and then country management—to illustrate how Web3 careers increasingly require multidisciplinary skills.
The keynote and panel highlighted that combining technical capabilities, such as coding and data analysis, with market understanding and communication skills can lead to more durable roles in emerging digital sectors.
As AI tools mature, the event suggested that upcoming professionals may be judged less on their ability to execute trades manually and more on how they design, test and manage automated strategies over time.
Growing interest among young professionals
The formal program ended with a “pizza day” community session, where industry participants met local Web3 users to discuss entry points into international digital finance organizations. Organizers said turnout and engagement reflected rising interest among younger professionals in pairing local experience with global blockchain opportunities.
For many participants active in these markets, the coming weeks and months are expected to bring faster competition between platforms to deliver more powerful and user-friendly automated systems. Systems that can execute predefined, data-driven rules around the clock, without emotional bias, are seen as a core advantage in markets that never close.
OneBullEx outlines long-term plans in Brazil
OneBullEx said it aims to maintain and expand its presence in Brazil through continued platform development, structured partnerships with universities and sustained engagement with the local Web3 ecosystem.
The company’s strategy centers on supporting a new generation of technical and market-oriented professionals who can build, test and operate AI-assisted trading systems in one of the world’s most active digital asset environments.
