After a meteoric rise in the first half of the year, the crypto market continued its rebound in the third quarter, led by mainstream assets, capital flowing from Bitcoin to multiple sectors, and overall positive market sentiment. Against this backdrop, Huobi HTX achieved strong breakthroughs in trading, user growth, asset innovation, branding activities, and security development, delivering a strong performance in the third quarter of 2025.
Trading volume and capital scale have grown steadily, and organic traffic has continued to rise.
In Q3 2025, Huobi HTX's overall trading volume increased by 25% month-over-month, and the number of registered users increased by 13%, with its user base continuing to expand. The platform's accumulated assets exceeded US$6.87 billion, a 6.4% increase month-over-month, firmly placing it among the top global mainstream trading platforms.
Huobi HTX saw a 7% month-over-month increase in site-wide impressions, reaching 13 million. Page views (PVs) increased by 37% month-over-month to 46 million, and unique visitors (UVs) increased by 43% month-over-month to 19 million. This continued growth in organic traffic is a result of Huobi HTX's growing global influence and user activity.
High-quality new assets become wealth multipliers, with $HTX token quarterly destruction reaching a new high.
In Q3, Huobi HTX launched 39 high-quality new projects. These included TREE , CAMP , WLFI , HOLO , LINEA , AVNT , ASTER , 0G , XPL , and FF , providing users with early-stage investment opportunities. AVNT, ASTER, 0G, and XPL all offered near-doubling opportunities after launch. ASTER, leveraging its innovative "no MEV and low slippage" mechanism, saw a 400% increase in value since launch, becoming the quarter's most impressive asset. AVNT , with a three-fold increase, was a popular asset for the first launch of the Base chain. WLFI (World Liberty Financial), a DeFi project backed by the Trump family, also attracted significant market attention and became a hot topic of the quarter. The continuous launch and launch of high-quality assets provides users with abundant trading and investment opportunities, further solidifying Huobi HTX's position as a leading platform for new asset launches.
According to the official announcement from the HTX DAO, the $HTX token burn plan for the third quarter of 2025 was successfully completed on October 14th . On-chain data shows that a total of 13,119,801,941,748 $HTX tokens were destroyed, with a total value exceeding $ 27.03 million . This represents an 11.19 % increase month-over-month, setting a new record since the implementation of the burn mechanism. To date, the HTX DAO has destroyed approximately 85.88 trillion $HTX tokens, with a cumulative value of approximately $ 163 million. The ongoing deflationary measures not only effectively optimize the token circulation structure but also further consolidate the long-term value foundation of $HTX. HTX DAO is actively building an open ecosystem for global developers, focusing on exploring on-chain applications such as CeFi × DeFi integration and Reliable Web Access (RWA). This will provide resource support, innovation platforms, and long-term growth space for the Builder community, helping the ecosystem achieve sustained growth and value co-creation on a global scale.
Operational activities and brand expansion go hand in hand to amplify global influence
In terms of operational activities, Huobi HTX launched a number of special activities for the public to participate, focusing on stablecoin trading, the 10th anniversary of ETH, Tron brand activities, and hot assets such as SOL, TRUMP, USD1, WLFI, etc., with a total of over 100,000 registered users. During the event, spot trading was active, and hundreds of billions of $HTX tokens were airdropped to users, continuously demonstrating the brand potential of Huobi HTX activities to the majority of users.
In terms of branding, Huobi HTX achieved a full-link explosion both online and offline in Q3: more than 1,300 users registered on-site at the GM Vietnam Exhibition, laying a solid foundation for the start of the quarter; during the Token 2049 & After Party, HTX DAO & HTX Ventures achieved dual brand exposure, bringing together more than 800 industry elites, with a cumulative brand reach of 254 million times and more than 3,100 customers. The 12th anniversary core theme of "Flame" image left a deep impression on the guests. Justin Sun personally attended the After Party and presented the awards to the first, second and third place winners of "Huobi No. 1 Lady".

During Q3, Ventures released a series of research reports titled "Is Stock Tokenization a Pie or a Trap?" The reports also included in-depth analysis and interviews on core topics such as stock tokenization, regulatory compliance, and institutional collaboration, providing users with a comprehensive understanding of the RWA market with consistent forward-looking insights. HTX Research released a series of blockbuster reports, "The New Order of Stablecoins (Part 1): Global Payment Reconstruction, Institutional Rights Confirmation and Capital War" and "The New Order of Stablecoins (Part 2): Exploration of Stablecoin Public Chains" , which systematically analyzed the reconstruction of stablecoin payments, the regulatory process and the new paradigm of public chains.
