Huobi HTX February Review: User Growth Up 16%, Identifying Three Potential "Catch-Up Sectors" in the Post-Holiday Crypto Market Following the Spring Festival, the crypto market entered a new trading cycle. Capital began rotating from single hot sectors to multiple areas, with AI, privacy computing, DeFi, and stablecoin yields remaining active. Huobi HTX saw a 16% month-on-month increase in new registrations and ranked second in the industry for net monthly capital inflows. Its "Clean Assets" reserve climbed to a historic sixth place globally. The platform highlighted three key sectors with potential for growth: 1. **AI Meme Sector:** Projects combining AI narratives with meme culture, like those in the OpenClaw ecosystem, gained traction due to strong community appeal. Huobi HTX listed 14 new assets in February, including popular Base ecosystem AI Meme tokens like CLAWD, MOLT, and CLAWDCH. 2. **Privacy Computing & Tech Infrastructure:** Technical projects like the ZK protocol ZAMA and privacy infrastructure ESP (which saw an 80% surge post-listing) were launched. Other performers included Base DeFi project UP (+60%) and automation token ROBO (+92%). 3. **Stablecoin Yields:** As a hedge against market fluctuations, stablecoin earnings products gained popularity. Huobi Earn platform offered subsidized annual yields of up to 15% on assets like USDT and USDC, with its USDe product exceeding $100 million in holdings.

After the Spring Festival, the crypto market gradually entered a new trading cycle. Following a phase of growth, capital began to rotate from single hot sectors to multiple tracks, with AI, privacy computing, DeFi, and stablecoin yields remaining active. As market sentiment warmed, user activity and capital inflows on trading platforms also increased.

Huobi HTX platform data shows that the number of new registered users in February increased by 16% month-on-month, and the monthly net capital inflow ranked second in the industry, with both user scale and trading activity showing an upward trend. According to DeFiLlama data, Huobi HTX has risen to sixth place in the global Clean Assets (real asset reserves excluding platform tokens) rankings, achieving the platform's best historical ranking. Based on recent market performance and platform asset data, Huobi HTX has identified three potential 'catch-up sectors' worth watching in the current market.

Three Potential Sectors to Watch: AI Meme Sector, Privacy Computing, and Technical Infrastructure Sector

In early February, with the explosive popularity of the OpenClaw ecosystem, community assets combining AI and Meme quickly became a market hotspot. Compared to traditional Meme projects, the new generation of AI Meme projects often have stronger narrative capabilities and community dissemination attributes, making them more likely to form trading hotspots during the market sentiment recovery phase.

In response to market trends, Huobi HTX listed 14 new assets in February, covering multiple hot sectors such as AI, MEME, DeFi, and privacy computing. Notably, several popular AI MEME assets from the BASE ecosystem, including CLAWD, MOLT, and CLAWDCH, were listed, along with community-focused projects like BNKR and CLANKE, further improving coverage in related sectors. In the current market rotation environment, such community-driven assets often serve as important indicators of market sentiment.

In addition to community hotspot assets, several technical projects were exclusively listed on Huobi HTX in February. For example, the ZK privacy protocol project ZAMA and the privacy infrastructure project ESP. Among them, ESP saw a maximum increase of 80% after listing. Meanwhile, the Base ecosystem DeFi project UP rose by up to 60% after listing, and the robotics sector project ROBO saw a maximum increase of 92% after listing, becoming one of the standout technical assets of the month.

Overall, technical directions such as AI, privacy computing, and robotics automation are gradually becoming important components of Web3 infrastructure. As the industry's technical narrative deepens, such assets are more likely to experience phased catch-up opportunities during market rotations.

'Not to Be Overlooked' Stablecoin Yields: A Safe Haven for Funds in a Volatile Market

In an environment of increased market volatility, stablecoin yield products have gradually become an important choice for capital allocation. During February, Huobi Earn products continued to maintain strong appeal. The platform's stablecoin earn products cover mainstream assets such as USDT, USDC, USDD, U, and USD1, with subsidized tiered annualized yields of up to 15% and the advantage of unlimited personal quotas.

Among them, the USDe flexible earn product's holdings once exceeded $100 million. Additionally, the USAT flexible earn product launched on the platform also performed well, with a subsidized annualized yield of about 10%, expected to continue until mid-March. Meanwhile, the contract earn product, Yu Bao, maintained strong yield performance, with an average annualized yield of about 3% and a single-day high annualized yield of 6.21%.

Continuous Product Upgrades: New TradFi Section, Trade Gold and Silver on Huobi HTX

In terms of trading products, Huobi HTX continued to expand its contract ecosystem in February. Following industry trends, Huobi HTX added TradFi section related assets, including derivatives of traditional financial assets such as gold, silver, and crude oil. With the continuous listing of new assets, the platform's monthly contract trading pairs have exceeded 220+, providing users with more diversified trading options.

Additionally, the platform completed an important product upgrade: the index price composition and weight query function is now open to all users. Previously, this data was only available to API users, but now ordinary users can also view the index composition in real-time, making trading information more transparent and helping users make more efficient trading decisions.

Expanding Industry Influence, Actively Exploring Global Markets

In terms of brand and industry influence, HTX Ventures participated in major global industry conferences such as Consensus Hong Kong and ETHDenver in February, and continued to publish market weekly reports, providing users with industry trend analysis and investment insights. During the Hong Kong Developer Conference, HTX DAO simultaneously held an ecosystem closed-door dinner, engaging in in-depth exchanges with industry partners, further enhancing its brand influence among developers and project ecosystems.

At the same time, Huobi HTX launched the annual large-scale event "Peak Competition II: $1.5 Million to Celebrate the New Year" in February. The event quickly attracted market attention after its release, with participating users exceeding 10,000, further boosting overall trading ecosystem activity. Currently, the team competition is in full swing.

In terms of global market expansion, Huobi HTX is also advancing local construction. After obtaining the No Objection Certificate (NoC) from the Pakistan Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (PVARA) last year, Huobi HTX is actively promoting the construction of local trading platforms while simultaneously improving anti-money laundering systems, local company establishment, and compliance systems.

Signs of Market Recovery, Huobi HTX Trading Ecosystem Continues to Expand

Overall, against the backdrop of a gradually recovering market, AI Meme, privacy computing, and stablecoin yield products are becoming important focus areas in the current market.

At the same time, with a 16% month-on-month increase in new registered users, Huobi HTX's user scale and trading ecosystem continue to expand. By continuously enriching asset sectors, optimizing trading products, and advancing global layout, Huobi HTX is consistently providing users with more diversified digital asset trading and investment opportunities.

What Happens to Ethereum Developer Tools After the Grants Run Out?

On February 27th, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) announced Project Odin, a structured sustainability support program designed for a select group of strategic, previously grant-funded teams. Unlike a standard grant, Odin offers a long-term advisory mechanism focused on helping these teams establish credible, sustainable paths within a two-year framework, thereby reducing long-term dependence on single funding sources. The program addresses a critical post-grant challenge: how essential public goods, especially major developer tools, can achieve financial sustainability beyond initial funding. While grants from EF and programs like Gitcoin or RetroPGF remain vital for startups and research, they often fall short for mature, widely-used infrastructure. Tools like compilers, languages, and network stacks are deeply embedded but struggle with monetization, trapped between being too foundational to lose and too public to generate natural revenue. Project Odin provides teams with a dedicated Strategic Advisor to guide them through a three-phase process: 1) analyzing current funding and realistic options, 2) validating potential paths with stakeholders, and 3) executing plans, which may include crafting support contracts, service agreements, or other recurring revenue models. The first pilot participant is Vyper, a critical smart contract language for the EVM, highlighting the need for sustainable models for core infrastructure. The initiative reframes the public goods conversation from "who should be funded" to "how do already-proven teams avoid perpetual funding crises?" It encourages ecosystem participants—protocols and projects that depend on these tools—to view sustainable support not just as charity, but as essential risk management for their own operational supply chains.

MARA Reports Q1 Revenue Below Expectations, Net Loss of $1.3 Billion, Stock Plunges After Hours

Bitcoin mining firm MARA Holdings reported disappointing Q1 2024 results, causing its stock to erase all daily gains and fall 3.44% in after-hours trading. Revenue dropped 18% year-over-year to $174.6 million, missing Wall Street estimates of $192.7 million. The company posted a net loss of $1.3 billion, a significant increase from a $533.4 million loss a year ago, primarily driven by unrealized losses on its holdings of 38,689 Bitcoin, which depreciated in value during the quarter. MARA also sold over 15,100 BTC in late March to repurchase debt at a discount. The broader mining environment remains challenging due to a 35% decline in Bitcoin's price from its all-time high and a nearly 30% increase in mining difficulty over the past year. MARA's market cap ranking among U.S. miners has slipped to seventh. Critically, the company announced a strategic pivot away from Bitcoin mining expansion. It stated it has no plans to purchase new mining equipment and is fully transitioning toward AI data centers. Its strategy involves retrofitting existing mining sites for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) and leveraging its recent $1.5 billion acquisition of Long Ridge Energy & Power, a gas-fired power plant and data center. This infrastructure could eventually support 600 MW of AI compute capacity, allowing MARA to redeploy up to 90% of its non-custodial mining power for AI and IT workloads.

The AI Investment Landscape Is Being Reshaped: Beyond the 'Magnificent Seven', What Opportunities Lie in the Semiconductor Supply Chain?

AI Investment Map is Reshaping: Opportunities Beyond the 'Magnificent Seven' Since ChatGPT ignited the AI wave, investment initially focused on the "Magnificent Seven" tech giants dominating cloud infrastructure. However, the rise of DeepSeek and debates on AI capital expenditure effectiveness are shifting this dynamic. Investors now recognize opportunities deeper in the supply chain—the companies providing the essential "picks and shovels." Early concerns about an AI investment "arms race" and potential low returns were partly alleviated by strong Q1 earnings from cloud providers, validating robust compute demand. This has highlighted a more certain investment thesis: regardless of which AI applications ultimately win, massive capital expenditure will first fuel demand for semiconductors and related components. This "pick-and-shovel" logic has driven semiconductor ETFs to record highs. Key beneficiaries include: * **Memory Chipmakers (e.g., SK Hynix, Samsung, Micron)**: High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) is a critical bottleneck for AI training. * **Photonics Companies**: Crucial for high-speed data transfer within AI data centers. * **The Broader "AI-11" Semiconductor Ecosystem**: This encompasses foundries & lithography (TSMC, ASML), logic & custom chips (AMD, Broadcom, Intel, Marvell), and enterprise storage (SanDisk, Western Digital). Every dollar of AI infrastructure spending flows through this chain. While the "Magnificent Seven" remain dominant in market size, their earnings growth premium over the rest of the S&P 500 ("S&P 493") is narrowing. Market attention and marginal investment are shifting towards the expanding semiconductor supply chain. The investment narrative is evolving from "betting on the ultimate AI winner" to "investing in the certainty of the infrastructure build-out." Understanding this shift from the demand side to the supply side is key to identifying future AI investment opportunities.

As Circle, the First Stablecoin Stock, Resolves to Shed Its Label

Circle, the "stablecoin stock," reported its Q1 2026 results, showing a 20% YoY revenue increase to $694M despite a 15% drop in net profit due to post-IPO stock-based compensation and operational investments. The company's USDC stablecoin hit a record $770B in circulation with on-chain transaction volume soaring 263% YoY. However, market share slightly declined amid competition. The key market catalyst was the announcement of a $222M pre-sale for the ARC token of Circle's new institutional-focused Layer 1 blockchain, Arc, valuing the network at $30B. Led by a16z, the round included major investors like BlackRock and Apollo. CEO Jeremy Allaire positioned this as a strategic pivot from a stablecoin issuer to a broader internet platform and "financial OS" company. Circle also launched "Agent Stack" products for AI agent payments using USDC. While reaffirming its full-year 2026 guidance, the company noted the financial impact of Arc is not yet included, leaving room for future upside. Following the report, CRCL's stock surged nearly 16%. Wall Street analysts remain largely bullish on the long-term narrative, though some caution about near-term execution risks and the current immaterial contribution of new initiatives like Arc. The focus is now on Arc's mainnet launch, ARC token adoption, and evolving U.S. crypto regulation.
