Recently, Huobi HTX held a "Hello 2025" New Year's Eve live broadcast event. During the event, Huobi Liuye reviewed the milestones of Huobi HTX in 2024 and revealed the goal planning of Huobi HTX in 2025. In addition, digital crypto KOLs such as 0x Leon and DaDa summarized their trading experience in the past year at the end of the event and discussed the crypto trends and investment opportunities in the coming year.

Looking back at Huobi HTX in 2024: Trust, security, innovation and wealth effect

During the live broadcast, Liu Ye introduced that Huobi HTX performed well in product innovation, security compliance, ecological expansion, and wealth creation in 2024, and made significant progress. At the same time, with the support of HTX DAO, the platform's decentralized ecological construction has been steadily advancing, the vision of "People's Exchange" has become increasingly clear, and its industry leadership has been further consolidated.

• Journey of Confidence: Rebuilding User Trust

Liu Ye revealed that in December 2024, Huobi HTX launched the "Confidence Journey" event covering four cities, aiming to communicate closely with users and rebuild user trust. During the "Confidence Journey", Huobi HTX discussed the opportunities and challenges of the industry with the DOGE community, traditional institutions, and emerging capital, made new friends, contacted old friends, and forged trust.

• Safety first: protecting user assets from multiple angles

Liu Ye said that in the face of various security risks in the crypto world, Huobi HTX did not choose to give up passively, but took the initiative.

Specifically include: 1. Huobi HTX cooperates with Fireblocks, Cobo and other leading global security companies to conduct a comprehensive review of every chain and every product detail on the platform to ensure the security of user assets; 2. Huobi HTX published Merkle tree reserve proof for 12 consecutive months in 2024, and the reserve rate remained above 100% throughout the year; 3. Huobi HTX launched contract margin mechanism, anti-theft mechanism and other policies, and promised 100% compensation for capital losses caused by platform reasons.

• Technology-driven product innovation: continuing to lead the industry trend

In 2024, driven by technological innovation, Huobi HTX launched a series of industry-leading products, including transaction mining, liquidity mining, lending and mining, and Liquid Restaking.

Huobi HTX first launched the Restaking function in February 2024, allowing users to manage assets with greater security and efficiency. Later, Restaking was upgraded to Yubibao. As long as users deposit funds in the contract U-based account, regardless of whether they open a position, they can enjoy an annualized return of 6% without any threshold or lock-up.

"Lending is Mining" was launched in November 2024, focusing on USDT demand lending products. The core advantage is that users can share the platform's growth dividends through regular lending without complicated operations. In addition, transaction mining and liquidity mining attract users through subsidies, improve platform liquidity, and achieve a win-win situation for users and platforms.

It is also worth mentioning that Huobi HTX’s ecological cooperation project SunPump became a hot topic in the industry as soon as it was launched, and quickly set off a wave of Meme tokens.

• Deepening content: Professional investment research leads the market

Liu Ye said in the live broadcast that Huobi HTX has a professional investment research team that provides users with accurate market analysis and investment advice throughout the year. For example, Huobi HTX is one of the first exchanges in the industry to predict that BTC will reach $100,000 in 2024; it also laid out the Base and TON ecosystems in advance and successfully captured market opportunities.

• Focus on high-quality assets: strive to create wealth effect

According to Liu Ye, Huobi HTX launched a total of 218 high-quality assets throughout the year, covering many popular tracks such as DePIN, RWA, and Meme. Among them, 171 were the first assets launched on the entire network. After the launch, the highest increases of ACT and BAN tokens reached 12079.49% and 4445.45% respectively, showing a strong growth momentum.

She emphasized that in the future, Huobi HTX will continue to optimize its listing strategy, quickly discover high-quality assets, adhere to "Sun Ge's strict selection", and at the same time deepen its community, listen to user needs, and strive to build a "people's exchange" to continuously consolidate its industry position as the "preferred platform for high-quality assets."

Outlook 2025: Building a people's exchange and promoting globalization

Liuye believes that 2025 will be a critical period for the accelerated development of the crypto industry, continuous technological iteration, and the popularization of innovation. All practitioners are faced with unprecedented development opportunities. As one of the most determined builders in the crypto industry, Huobi HTX will focus on the following areas:

1. People’s Exchange: In 2025, the HTX DAO Forum and the continuously changing governance committee will be used to promote community governance and DAO model construction, and gradually implement the vision of the People’s Exchange.

2. Global layout: Huobi HTX will continue to actively layout the global market, focus on the CIS region, display the brand image in an all-round and multi-angle manner, and provide more opportunities for business expansion and users.

3. Integration of technology and blockchain: Focus on the AI+Crypto track, such as some conceptual AI applications, Meme, and the combination of AI Agent, Intent, and smart contracts.

4. $HTX: Gradually improve the $HTX economic model and community governance model, and empower $HTX in the long term to prepare for future explosive growth.

AI and Meme May Become Key Narratives in the Crypto Field in 2025

At the end of the live broadcast, digital crypto KOLs such as 0x Leon and DaDa analyzed the crypto trends and investment opportunities in the coming year. They generally believed that AI and Meme would become the key narratives in the crypto field in 2025.

0x Leon believes that AI+Crypto is not only a challenge to traditional finance, but also a profound impact on the existing crypto market structure and rules. With the advancement of technology, AI may drive the crypto market towards a more intelligent, decentralized and automated direction.

DaDa analyzed that Meme is a new form and inevitable product of the Web3 community's consensus. In 2024, the crypto market witnessed the outbreak of Meme, and also saw many Meme projects return to zero. However, Meme is in the increasingly restless and continuously erupting "golden cycle" of cryptocurrencies after the US election, and its vitality is far from over. Participants must master the research ability and risk control ability of the project.
