Infinity X, the latest iteration of a collapsed cryptocurrency scheme, has surfaced, aiming to lure new investors after two previous failures. The venture, formerly known as Infinity Pi, reappeared online with updated branding, signaling a continued effort to exploit individuals with promises of high returns through a multi-level marketing structure. This marks the second reboot for the operation, which initially launched in the third quarter of 2023.
Infinity Pi first imploded in October 2023. A subsequent relaunch, branded as Infinity Pi 2.0, lasted barely a week before collapsing again just before Christmas. The current iteration, Infinity X, suggests the architects of the scheme are persistent, attempting a fresh start after two demonstrable failures.
The Infinity X platform offers no tangible products or services for sale. Instead, participants are recruited solely to market affiliate memberships within the scheme itself. The core of the operation revolves around affiliates investing tether, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, with the promise of daily returns. These returns are tiered based on investment amounts, ranging from 0.4% daily on 100 USDT to 1% daily on investments of 10,000 USDT.
These advertised daily returns are capped at a total of 360% of the initial investment. Crucially, this 360% cap includes any commissions earned through recruitment. Once an affiliate reaches this threshold, they are required to reinvest to continue earning. The scheme also incorporates a multi-level marketing component, where participants earn by recruiting new investors into the platform.
Infinity X has established a six-tier affiliate ranking system. To achieve these ranks, affiliates must meet specific investment thresholds and generate a certain volume of investment from their downline recruits. For instance, the V1 rank requires a 100 USDT investment and 20,000 USDT in downline investment volume. Higher ranks demand progressively larger investments and more significant downline recruitment achievements, such as having multiple downline members at higher ranks.
Referral commissions are paid at a flat rate of 10% on the USDT invested by personally recruited affiliates. Beyond direct recruitment, Infinity X employs a unilevel compensation structure for residual commissions. This structure places personally recruited affiliates directly below the referrer, with their recruits then filling subsequent levels. The scheme limits payable unilevel team levels to ten.
Residual commissions are calculated as a percentage of the daily returns paid to affiliates within the unilevel team. The payout structure is tiered: 10% match on level 1 (personally recruited affiliates), 4% on level 2, 2% on levels 3 through 5, and 1% on levels 6 through 15. An additional incentive, termed "Team Rewards," offers a 50% match on downline earnings, although the specifics of its calculation remain unclear.
The scheme's tokenomics are also a point of concern. Returns are distributed in a newly created "infinity x token." This follows the pattern of previous iterations where the original "pi token" contract was allegedly drained. The creation of new tokens after the collapse of prior ones is a common tactic in Ponzi schemes to obscure losses and create the illusion of a fresh start. The regulatory status of Infinity X is not publicly detailed, and as with most cryptocurrency-based MLM schemes promising guaranteed high returns, it carries significant risk for participants.
