During the events, HTX Global Advisors, TRON Founder Justin Sun, and HTX Spokesperson and HTX DAO Ambassador Molly (HTX Sixth Master) also delivered important speeches on platform development, industry trends, security construction, and more.
The diverse range of activities showcased HTX DAO's leadership in the crypto field, marking its further deepening and expansion in the blockchain and Web3 space, and conveying a firm commitment to driving industry compliance and sustainable development.
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.

In June, Bloomberg reported that despite Bitcoin falling below $60,000 last week, wiping out about $235 billion in market value within seven days, and dropping close to 50% from last year’s peak, some core businesses in the crypto industry are still expanding, mainly in stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization (RWA), payments, and infrastructure. The report also noted that overall altcoin activity has contracted significantly: altcoin market capitalization has fallen from a peak of about $431 billion in November 2021 to around $170 billion, and among the tens of millions of tokens issued in recent years, fewer than 1,700 still maintain meaningful trading activity.

Japan to Assess a Framework for Yen Stablecoins and Crypto ETFs as Asia’s Compliant Payments Narrative Heats Up
Recently, according to the original report, Japan is considering the launch of yen stablecoins and cryptocurrency ETFs. Public information remains limited at this stage, and there is still no complete policy text, regulatory draft, or clear implementation timeline, so this is better characterized as a “policy discussion” rather than formal implementation. The original wording also noted that advancing stablecoin regulation in Asia is driving XRP usage and supporting growth in the XRPL ecosystem. However, based on currently available public information, there is not enough evidence to directly establish a clear causal relationship between this round of discussion in Japan and XRP or XRPL.
ZachXBT: Humanity private key leak and abnormal surge in H token should be viewed separately
On June 9, according to related disclosures, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted an update on Humanity’s roughly $31 million security incident, saying that after further analyzing fund flows, he currently tends to believe the project team was not involved in an “inside job” or a self-staged attack. According to him, the official explanation about the private key leak was broadly accurate, but before the token unlock, the price of H had been artificially pushed higher, and the hacker later took advantage of that market environment; therefore, the private key leak and the earlier abnormal price pumping should be regarded as two separate and independent events. This reframing has shifted the market’s understanding of the nature of the incident. Earlier discussion around Humanity had focused on whether the team directly participated in the attack or used the security incident to cover up internal operations. ZachXBT’s latest remarks shift the focus from “whether it was self-theft” to “whether there were pre-unlock market structure issues.” He also questioned whether the team may have.
