The Athene Network token $ATN has officially gone live on three major crypto exchanges: BingX, MEXC, and Bitmart. And right after the listing, the team announced some really exciting updates.
Most importantly, it has received a huge $30 million investment from big funds and serious investors. This shows strong trust in the project and is a good sign for anyone thinking about getting involved.
They’ve also made some changes to the $ATN public sale and token unlock schedule — and everything is happening earlier than planned.
The public sale of ATN will now end on March 31, 2025 (it was originally going to end on April 16).
If you’ve bought tokens during the public sale, you’ll be able to access them starting April 1.
If you were part of the Angel Round, or got tokens through the official app or Athene Parthenon wallet , your tokens will be unlocked on April 5.

For regular users, this is great news because you’ll get your tokens earlier. However, tokens owned by big investors and funds will be completely locked for one full year. That means they can’t sell or move them, which helps keep the market more stable in the short term.

ATN is launching a staking system on April 1, and it’s not just about staking. It also rewards you for building a network.
If you’ve invited friends or contacts during the public sale, your network will carry over into the new system. Once the staking system goes live, you can earn money from three levels of referrals:
Up to 15% from people you directly invite
Up to 10% from people your friends invite
Up to 5% from the next level after that
With the right network, the team says you could earn up to $1 million through this system.
The token is already available to trade on BingX, MEXC, and Bitmart. These are well-known exchanges with lots of trading volume.
Also, the team hinted that another exchange is preparing to list ATN soon — and its name starts with “Bi”. They haven’t revealed which one yet, but it sounds like more growth is on the way with a potential Binance listing.
Let’s look at what’s happening:
A $30 million investment just came in from major investors
At the time of writing, Athene coin price is standing around $0.08088 and trading volume nears $126.68K, reflecting an increase of around 76.40%
Tokens are unlocking earlier than planned
Leaderboard rewards are being distributed soon
A staking system with real earning potential is launching
The token might get listed on Binance soon
This could be a good time to take a closer look at the Network. Whether you're planning to invest, trade, or build a crypto space, these updates are all pointing in a strong direction.
