Huobi HTX releases the 2025 first half report: 50 million users, 6.4 billion in assets, highest increase of 850%

In the past three years, Huobi HTX has continuously promoted platform transformation and upgrading, from brand reshaping to product innovation, from user growth to global expansion. With the increasingly mature ++HTX DAO++ ecological governance system, Huobi HTX has gradually completed the transition from a "platform exchange" to a "people's exchange." This article will systematically review the key progress and phased achievements of Huobi HTX in the first half of 2025 from multiple dimensions, including platform ranking and core data, quality asset layout, ecological synergy, product and research innovation, brand and operational achievements, and security protection systems.

Platform Data Shines, Global Ranking Rises, Steadily Approaching the Global Forefront

In just the first half of 2025, Huobi HTX saw a 92% month-on-month increase in new registered users, surpassing 50 million cumulatively; platform asset accumulation grew by 14%, strongly exceeding $6.4 billion; overall trading volume increased by 17% year-on-year, and trading users grew by 11% month-on-month, with core data showing comprehensive upward trends, injecting rare certainty signals into the industry. The competitiveness of Huobi HTX as a leading global trading platform is steadily increasing.

According to Kaiko's Q2 2025 report, Huobi HTX's ranking among 45 mainstream spot trading platforms worldwide rose by two places, successfully entering the global top eight, becoming the exchange with the most significant progress in the Top 10. It ranks second globally in both commercial and technical dimensions and is also at the forefront of the "security" field. In addition, Huobi HTX's rankings on global authoritative data platforms such as CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, DefiLlama, and CryptoRank continue to rise, gradually establishing itself as a top-tier platform in the minds of Web3 users.

Huobi HTX's overall platform natural traffic hits a record high

Hot Assets Ignite Wealth Effects on the Platform, Forward-Looking Layout Helps Users Enjoy Dividends

In the first half of 2025, new assets on Huobi HTX performed remarkably, with coins like ++TRUMP++, LAYER, and STO all making their debut on Huobi HTX, launching faster than other mainstream exchanges, with multiple new coins achieving multiple increases shortly after landing on the platform. Among them, TRUMP rose from $10 to $95, an increase of 850%; the AI narrative track representative AVAAI increased by 570%; Solana ecosystem representatives PIPPIN and infrastructure project LAYER rose by 484% and 467%, respectively; additionally, assets like STO, SYRUP, and SKYAI also achieved over 200% increases. At the same time, Huobi HTX is also in the first tier of stablecoin layout, having successively launched six stablecoins since May this year: USD1, EURR, USDR, EURQ, USDQ, and AETHUSDT. Among them, USD1, issued by the Trump family crypto project World Liberty Financial, is expected to become a star project in the stablecoin track against the backdrop of gradually clarifying US stablecoin regulations; Huobi HTX, as the first platform to launch USD1 and support TRON chain USD1 deposits, added BTC/USD1 and ETH/USD1 trading pairs in June and launched a limited-time zero trading fee event for the USD1/USDT trading pair, further enriching the USD1 ecosystem and seizing market first-mover advantages.

In the current crypto market, where short-term hotspots frequently emerge, projects with real long-term potential and fundamental support are often more worthy of attention and layout. Huobi HTX adheres to the philosophy of "value investment, early capture, and selective excellence," balancing wealth effects with long-term narratives, and has launched the "Golden Dog Plan" series and weekly increase reviews to select outstanding assets with significant value potential. Huobi HTX is gradually building a rapid response mechanism of "hotspot foresight and selective listing" to help users capture early potential investment opportunities.
