marsbitPublicado a 2026-01-26Actualizado a 2026-01-26

Resumen

In 2025, Huobi HTX strengthened its position as a leading crypto exchange by focusing on early access to high-potential assets and maintaining a high-liquidity ecosystem. Throughout the year, it listed 166 tokens across major and emerging sectors—including Layer1/Layer2, AI, RWA, Meme, and DeFi—with 76 being exclusive first listings. Among these, 96 tokens saw price increases exceeding 100%, with one surging as high as 9,500%. The platform also delisted 241 underperforming or low-liquidity assets to ensure trading quality. Key successes included early entries into political narrative tokens like TRUMP (10x) and WLFI, BSC ecosystem assets such as DONKEY (69x) and M (42x), and emerging trends like AI Agent token PIPPIN (95x). Huobi HTX also led in supporting Chinese Meme tokens and new infrastructure projects like Perp DEX tokens ASTER and AVNT. Looking ahead to 2026, HTX will prioritize assets with sustainable business models, real revenue, and strong compliance—focusing on RWA, prediction markets, Perp DEX, and PayFi—while applying stricter filters on high-FDV VC coins and purely speculative Memes. The strategy shifts from流量-driven to value-driven, reinforcing its long-term vision for a secure and transparent asset ecosystem.

In 2025, against a backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainty and frequent shifts in crypto industry narratives, the ability to select assets has become a core competitive advantage for trading platforms. Throughout the year, Huobi HTX's asset listing and governance system continued to evolve, covering multiple sectors while building an asset ecosystem with both wealth effects and liquidity through the first listing of high-quality new assets and a rigorous screening mechanism.

Annual Asset Data Overview: Broad Coverage, High Hit Rate, Strong Governance

According to annual report data, in 2025, Huobi HTX had over 922,000 users participating in spot trading, with a cumulative total trading volume exceeding 1.9 trillion USDT, a year-on-year increase of nearly 30%; the annual grid trading volume increased by 97% year-on-year, and grid capital deposits rose by 100% year-on-year.

In terms of new asset listings, Huobi HTX listed a total of 166 tokens throughout 2025, covering multiple core and emerging sectors such as Layer1/Layer2, public chain ecosystems, MEME, AI, RWA, stablecoins, DeFi, and Perp DEX, resulting in a more balanced asset structure. Among these, the number of first-listed projects reached 76, maintaining a leading position among mainstream exchanges. From a market performance perspective, 96 tokens saw price increases of over 100% after listing, with the highest annual increase reaching 9,500%. Huobi HTX's foresight in early asset discovery and narrative judgment is strongly evidenced by the data.

While continuously listing new assets, Huobi HTX also strengthened its asset governance capabilities. Throughout 2025, a total of 241 tokens were delisted, primarily targeting assets with long-term lack of project progress, significantly decreased liquidity, or those no longer meeting the platform's trading standards. This ensures the overall asset pool maintains sufficient liquidity and tradability, providing users with a more stable and efficient trading environment.

Annual Asset Recap: First Listings Are Not Coincidental but the Result of Continuously Evolving Strategy

Huobi HTX is always committed to discovering high-quality assets with hot topic influence, community resonance, and long-term value potential. Looking back at 2025, Huobi HTX continued to focus on wealth effects, preemptively first-listing multiple phenomenal wealth-creating assets such as PIPPIN (95x), DONKEY (69x), M (42x), and TRUMP (10x). As Justin Sun, Global Advisor of Huobi HTX, stated, the platform's listing standard is simply "hot" — "list if it's hot, don't list if it's not". However, the logic behind these words is by no means a simple single-point bet but a systematic listing strategy built around narrative judgment, community consensus, liquidity verification, and deep collaboration.

Through in-depth collaboration with high-quality projects, combined with a deep focus on value tokens and first-listing strategies, Huobi HTX repeatedly predicted "hot" projects, playing the role of a market pioneer. Many projects, after their first listing on Huobi HTX, were subsequently listed on top-tier platforms like Binance, allowing Huobi HTX users not only to buy at low levels but also to enjoy the huge cross-platform premium红利 (dividend) brought by the transition from early discovery to mainstream recognition.

1. Prioritizing Grand Narratives: Securing First-Mover Position Before Mainstream Sentiment Forms

In 2025, political narratives and macro topics entered the crypto market on a large scale for the first time, and Huobi HTX achieved key leadership in this sector.

In January, Huobi HTX was the first exchange globally to list TRUMP. This asset was announced by Donald Trump himself on Truth Social as the "official Meme coin." After listing, it quickly ignited market sentiment, with its price surging up to 10 times at its peak, becoming one of the most phenomenally popular and user-engaged assets of the year.

In May, Huobi HTX again led the industry by being the first to list USD1, a USD-pegged stablecoin issued by the Trump family-associated project World Liberty Financial (WLFI), and in September, it first listed its governance token WLFI, becoming the first mainstream exchange to deeply recognize and systematically expand this ecosystem, introducing a new sample of political finance narrative to the industry.

2. Community Sentiment and Ecological Cycle Resonance: Precisely Capturing BSC Ecosystem and CZ Influence Narratives

During the rapid evolution of the BSC ecosystem, Huobi HTX始终保持 (consistently maintained) close tracking of community sentiment and core narratives, achieving multiple high-hit layouts in 2025.

In March, following the narrative of CZ's influence and Middle Eastern capital injection into Binance, Huobi HTX listed TST and MUBARAK, both of which doubled in price after listing. Subsequently, the highly popular community assets BANANAS31 and DONKEY were listed, achieving astonishing increases of 13x and 69x respectively; in July, M became one of the strongest assets in the BSC ecosystem with a 42x increase. In October, Huobi HTX first-listed GIGGLE, which saw a 4x increase on Huobi HTX and was listed on Binance spot two weeks later, once again validating Huobi HTX's "first-listing effect."

During the same period, Huobi HTX also became the first centralized exchange globally to support Chinese Meme spot trading,率先 (taking the lead in) listing "Binance Life" (note: original text says "币安人生" which might be a specific meme/project name, translated literally as Binance Life) and领先 (leading) Binance in completing the upgrade of the Chinese trading pair spot system, securing market positioning 87 days ahead.

3. Forward-Looking Layout of New Narratives: Early Coverage of AI Agent, DEFAI, and Payment Sectors

Before the AI Agent and DEFAI concepts truly exploded, Huobi HTX had already completed deep布局 (layout). PIPPIN, listed in January, experienced explosive growth after entering November, with its highest annual increase reaching 95x, becoming one of the most representative wealth-creating assets in the AI Agent sector. Simultaneously, Huobi HTX achieved comprehensive early coverage of DEFAI and AI Agent projects like GRIFFAIN, HAT, AI16Z, and SWARMS, with most assets achieving significant gains after listing, validating Huobi HTX's提前判断能力 (early judgment capability) for emerging technology narratives.

Furthermore, Huobi HTX率先 (took the lead in) achieving full coverage layout of the emerging X402 sector, first-listing the BASE chain leading project PING and the Solana chain X402 leading project PAYAI, which saw阶段性翻倍 (phased doubling) after Coinbase launched the X402 V2 version, becoming the only trading platform supporting the core assets of this sector.

4. Continuous Focus on Long-Term Value: Perp DEX Derivatives Infrastructure

Beyond the highly sought-after hot narratives, Huobi HTX also focuses on technology-driven practical application sectors.

In September, Perp DEX (Perpetual Contract Exchange) became a market focus, and Huobi HTX quickly secured its position for cutting-edge infrastructure. ASTER, as a benchmark Perp DEX project on the BSC chain, was listed on Binance spot just one week after its first listing on Huobi HTX, with a 3x increase within Huobi HTX; the Base ecosystem key project AVNT also performed strongly after listing on Huobi HTX, bringing users a 14x high return.

Outlook for 2026: Value Return, Discovering Potential Assets, Taking "First Listings" to the End

Entering 2026, against a backdrop of institutional capital dominance and a gradually maturing market, Huobi HTX will further strengthen its strategy of "value return and discovering potential assets." In the future, Huobi HTX will prioritize listing assets with real revenue anchoring, compliance, and sustainable business models; for high FDV, low circulation VC coins and Meme projects driven purely by sentiment without practical application, the most stringent admission reviews in history will be implemented to切实保护 (practically protect) user asset safety.

Shifting彻底 (completely) from traffic-driven to value-driven,只为用户配置优质资产 (only allocating high-quality assets for users). Centering around the three major screening criteria of "real revenue anchoring, strong compliance, and sustainable models," Huobi HTX will focus on laying out four确定性赛道 (certainty sectors): RWA and tokenized assets, prediction markets, revenue-verifiable Perp DEX and derivatives infrastructure, and mobile-first PayFi and super DApps.

With long-termism as its foundation, Huobi HTX is building a safe, transparent, and sustainably value-creating asset ecosystem system, providing global users with a more reliable value discovery platform.

The Bitcoin 4-Year Cycle Has Never Disappeared, It Just 'Changed Shape'

Has Bitcoin's 4-Year Cycle Disappeared? The article argues that the fundamental 4-year cycle driven by halving events remains intact but its manifestation has changed due to a shift in the dominant buyer profile. The cycle peaked in October 2025, aligning with historical post-halving timelines. However, classic on-chain top indicators (MVRV, Pi Cycle, NUPL, etc.) failed to signal the peak. This is because these metrics are designed to detect retail FOMO, which was largely absent in Bitcoin this cycle. Retail capital was systematically drained by memecoins and high-FDV, low-float VC token launches before it could fuel a parabolic Bitcoin finale. Instead, institutional buyers (spot Bitcoin ETFs, corporate treasuries like MicroStrategy) became the marginal buyers. Their steady, programmatic accumulation created a strong but less volatile uptrend that didn't trigger traditional euphoria signals. The cycle's structure persists: a post-halving supply shock, a peak roughly 480-550 days later, and a bottom approximately one year after the peak (projected for Q3/Q4 2026). Bear market drawdowns are becoming shallower (projected 50-65% vs. past 78-86%) as institutional ownership matures. The article concludes that the cycle's timing remains the most reliable signal, while the tools to identify its phases must evolve with the market's structure.

AI Agent Completely Transforms Web3 Gaming: From the Rugpull Bakery Bot Controversy to the New 2026 Agent Paradigm

This article explores how the AI Agent paradigm is fundamentally transforming Web3 gaming, moving from a disruptive force to a core, legitimized element. It begins with the controversy in the competitive baking game Rugpull Bakery, where automated scripts caused fairness issues. Instead of banning them, the developers integrated AI Agents into the official gameplay by providing technical documentation (skill.md, agent.json), marking a shift towards "Agentic Gaming." The piece outlines three primary implementation models for AI Agents in Web3 games by 2026: 1. **Autonomous Competitors & Economic Entities:** AI Agents act as independent players with unique strategies. Examples include TEN Protocol's poker agents, AI Arena's trainable NFT fighters, and Satoshi Strike Force's "Digital Athletes" trained on player data. The Somnia blockchain is highlighted as a dedicated "Agentic L1" infrastructure supporting this model at scale. 2. **Modular Infrastructure & Programmable Environments:** This model, exemplified by EVE Frontier, allows AI Agents to program game world logic itself. Using "Smart Assemblies" (e.g., Smart Turrets, Smart Gates), Agents can modify shared economic and physical rules on-chain, creating dynamic, player/AI-built worlds. The ERC-8183 standard further enables these automated entities to hire other AI services for complex tasks. 3. **Hybrid Companions & Dynamic Adaptation:** Here, AI serves as a collaborative partner. In Parallel Colony, highly autonomous AI Avatars work alongside human players who provide high-level guidance. Illuvium plans to use AI to make NPCs dynamic and responsive, creating personalized, emergent narratives for each player. The conclusion posits that Web3 gaming has reached a "post-human" inflection point. Blockchains' transparency and programmability, combined with new standards and infrastructure like Somnia, make integrating and governing AI Agents not just viable but essential. The future lies in a symbiotic digital order where players transition from manual laborers to commanders and partners of algorithmic intelligence.

Saylor Bought 1,550 BTC, But This Might Be Strategy's Worst Trade Recently

Saylor purchased 1,550 BTC, but this may be one of MicroStrategy's worst recent trades for its MSTR shareholders. The article explains that for MSTR to increase its Bitcoin-per-share (BPS) metric, it must issue new shares at an mNAV (market cap to net asset value) ratio above a "breakeven" level, calculated here as 1.30. In this transaction, MSTR raised $181 million via an ATM offering and used only $101.3 million to buy Bitcoin, with the rest reportedly added to its dollar reserves. Crucially, the author argues the shares were likely sold below the 1.30 mNAV threshold. This combination—selling below breakeven mNAV and not deploying all proceeds into Bitcoin—resulted in a slight dilution of BPS, estimated at a 0.19% decrease. The trade is framed as a sacrifice of MSTR shareholder value (BPS) to extend the dollar reserve runway for its Sustainable Treasury Reserve Coin (STRC) subsidiary from 6.3 to 7 months. The author concludes that Strategy is gambling that this move will improve market sentiment for STRC and MSTR, allowing future value-accretive fundraising. If it fails, the company may face the difficult choice of further diluting MSTR or delaying STRC dividends.

Saylor's Purchase of 1550 Bitcoin Is a Bad Trade

**Title: Saylor's Purchase of 1,550 Bitcoins Was a Bad Trade** The article critically analyzes Strategy's recent move of selling 32 bitcoins followed by a much larger purchase of 1,550 bitcoins. While appearing bullish, the author argues this trade is detrimental to MSTR shareholders. The core argument revolves around the concept of "breakeven modified Net Asset Value (mNAV)," a key metric for Strategy. To increase Bitcoin per share (BPS) for MSTR holders, Strategy must issue new shares at a premium high enough that the funds raised can buy more bitcoin than the bitcoin backing each existing share. Currently, this breakeven mNAV is estimated at 1.30. The recent trade failed on two counts: 1. The shares for the $181 million raise were issued at an mNAV *below* the 1.30 breakeven point. Selling "cheap" shares to buy bitcoin actually *reduces* BPS. 2. Only $101.3 million of the raised funds were used to buy bitcoin; the rest went to boost the company's dollar reserves. The breakeven mNAV calculation assumes *100%* of proceeds are used for bitcoin purchases. Diverting funds, even if mNAV were high, dilutes BPS. The result is an estimated 0.19% decrease in Bitcoin per share for MSTR holders. In exchange, Strategy merely extended its operational runway for its dollar reserves from ~6.3 months to 7 months. The author interprets this as Strategy prioritizing the survival and development of its STRC business over its stated core goal of increasing MSTR's BPS. This constitutes a gamble: if sacrificing MSTR value leads to improved market sentiment and a recovery in STRC's price (and thus mNAV), the whole system could work. If not, Strategy may be forced into a cycle of further diluting MSTR to stay afloat, potentially leading to deferred STRC dividends or corporate decline. The article concludes with a hope for price recovery for Bitcoin, MSTR, and STRC.

The AI Bear Market Lasting Two Days Is Over; Why Did Funds Buy Back Storage Stocks First?

After a severe two-day selloff in early June that erased over $1 trillion from U.S. chip stock market value, capital is flowing back first to the memory sector. The correction was not driven by a collapse in AI demand but rather a market reassessment of high expectations. Stocks like Broadcom faced selling pressure despite strong AI revenue guidance, signaling a shift in focus from who has an "AI story" to who can most rapidly translate AI demand into verifiable profits and earnings per share (EPS). Memory companies, such as Micron and SK Hynix, are leading the recovery because their EPS growth is more immediately verifiable. The AI server boom directly increases demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and high-capacity server DRAM, tightening supply and driving up contract prices for conventional DRAM and NAND Flash. This price increase, coupled with a shift to higher-margin products, flows directly into near-term revenue and profitability, as evidenced in recent earnings reports. In contrast, other AI semiconductor segments like GPUs, ASICs, and optical modules, while central to the long-term AI infrastructure story, face longer and less certain paths to EPS validation. Their growth depends more on future product cycles, customer adoption timelines, and capital expenditure plans. The rebound in memory stocks highlights a market preference for assets with shorter, more transparent EPS conversion cycles following the recent de-risking phase. However, this does not negate the potential of other AI hardware segments should they provide clearer near-term order visibility. The episode has raised the validation bar for all AI-related investments.
