HTX to Strategically Expand into the CIS Crypto Market, with a Focus on the AI Track
During the 2025 HTX DAO Victoria Harbour Night event, Justin Sun attended and reviewed HTX's outstanding achievements over the past year, particularly highlighting the platform's remarkable performance in user growth, market share, assets, and security.
It is reported that in the past year, HTX's global registered user base exceeded 49 million, surpassing the 50 million mark in January 2025; mainstream market trading volume surged by 473%, C2C transaction volume rose by 452%, and market share skyrocketed by 471%. In terms of assets, leveraging market foresight and robust asset screening capabilities, HTX successfully launched 218 high-quality assets in 2024, with 171 being world-first launch assets. Contracts, as one of HTX's focus product lines last year, saw a total transaction volume of about $9 trillion, representing a 70% increase from 2023. On the security front, HTX underwent comprehensive upgrades, publicly disclosing Merkle Tree asset proof data 28 times and maintaining a reserve ratio of over 100%.
Discussing future market development plans, Justin Sun revealed that HTX witnessed a significant increase in traffic in the CIS region in 2024 and will now strategically expand into the region's crypto market, delving into user needs, providing localized services and innovative products to solidify its market position, and drive continued business expansion.
Justin Sun highlighted the significant potential application of AI in the cryptocurrency field, especially in building expert models. He stated that HTX will focus on the AI track and plan to launch AI products based on DeepSeek, exploring the integration of the crypto market with AI technology.
Additionally, Justin Sun also revealed the collaboration plans with the Trump family's crypto project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI). He introduced that HTX will deepen its cooperation with WLFI to promote the healthy development of the crypto ecosystem, continuously monitor the "Trump effect" on the market, capture market trends, and list more potential assets. He also stated at the Hong Kong Consensus Conference that WLFI's role in bridging traditional finance and cryptocurrency, along with the Trump administration's official support for cryptocurrency, aligns with industry demands, facilitating rapid and smooth cooperation between the two parties.
Continuously Empowering the HTX Token, Strengthening Decentralized Governance
During the 2025 HTX DAO Victoria Harbour Night event, Justin Sun stated that he would continuously empower the HTX token through various means to enhance its market value and liquidity. It is worth noting that the HTX token will soon be listed on a large compliant trading platform, further expanding its use cases.
Previously, Molly also shared the achievements of HTX DAO over the past year at the "Golden Star Enjoyment Meeting · Make a Significant Statement" themed private event. She emphasized that "as a crypto builder, HTX DAO will play a positive role in the industry's future development. Leveraging HTX's strengths in high-quality assets, liquidity, content creation, product innovation, and security, HTX DAO, through the joint governance committee, will implement user autonomy and community co-construction, strengthen decentralized governance. In addition, HTX DAO will also focus on rewarding ecosystem builders, providing them with more opportunities and support to jointly create a more open, transparent, and inclusive crypto ecosystem."
Safety is the Cornerstone of Industry Health
During the Hong Kong Consensus Conference, Justin Sun reiterated the importance of security on multiple occasions. "Every business and product should have security as a core premise. This is not only responsible for user assets but also the cornerstone of industry health."
At the Hong Kong "TRON & HTX DAO Exchange Meeting" on February 21, Justin Sun mentioned the security requirements for HTX. He stated that the platform must ensure the security of user assets, especially by strengthening multi-signature support and security prompts, and should explore how to better prevent security issues such as phishing scams.
He also pointed out that the launch of USDD 2.0 is the result of years of in-depth observation of the stablecoin track, technical accumulation, and a profound understanding of security risks. USDD focuses on long-term development, with the key being to find the right team and leader, possess solid underlying technology, and have a sound community governance mechanism. During the construction process, it is necessary to ensure substantial progress is made and to prevent the project from sudden collapse due to issues such as asset security. Only in this way can sustainable benign growth be achieved.
As a key hub for global financial technology and cryptocurrency, Hong Kong has played a crucial role in promoting Web3 and blockchain industry development in recent years. The HTX DAO event series not only aligns closely with the theme of the Hong Kong Consensus Conference but also serves as a bridge for global blockchain industry exchange, showcasing the latest achievements in technological innovation and ecosystem development. In the future, HTX DAO will work closely with the global crypto community to explore new opportunities for crypto development.
