The "Her" Era of the Crypto World: Molly's Breakthrough and the Ecological Chessboard of Huobi HTX

As Walter Isaacson depicts in his book "The Innovators," those who drive the progress of the times are often a group of "cross-boundary" individuals who can bridge different fields. Molly (Huobi HTX - Liu Ye) is such a bridge-builder in the crypto world—over the past decade, she has completed a "breaking the wall" journey across art, imagery, and blockchain; in three years since entering the space, she has condensed her rapid growth from an industry novice to the spokesperson for Huobi HTX; in the past year, she has witnessed the rise of HTX DAO, a decentralized banner. Her growth trajectory resonates with the ecological development of Huobi HTX, making her personal exploration a vivid example of the thriving development of the Huobi HTX ecosystem.

From director to DAO, Molly's transformation journey is filled with profound insights into herself and the industry.

A Decade of Cross-Boundary: The Transformation Journey from Art to Crypto

Molly's career began in the art field. Over the course of ten years, she has ventured into multiple industries, including art, directing, and producing. This cross-disciplinary background has given her a unique understanding of content creation, user psychology, and brand building.

These seemingly unrelated experiences have cultivated her keen perception and strong learning ability. When Molly decided to cross over into the crypto world, she completed her transformation from a beginner to an industry expert in just three years, quickly rising to become the head of the marketing center and the official spokesperson for Huobi HTX.

In the crypto industry, which is technology-centric and male-dominated, Molly has proven the value of a diverse background with her unique perspective. Her experience shows that in the Web3 world, cultural literacy and communication skills are equally crucial; they are the twin wings that complement technological innovation.

Three Years of Deep Cultivation: Rapid Growth at Huobi HTX

After joining Huobi HTX, Molly's career entered the fast lane. She quickly adapted to the fast-paced crypto industry and began to play a significant role in key positions within the company.

As the spokesperson and head of the marketing center at Huobi HTX, Molly delivered an impressive performance. She pointed out that Huobi HTX continues to lead in the global trading ecosystem and is the only platform among the Top 10 exchanges in Q1 2025 to achieve growth in spot trading volume.

Huobi HTX has accumulated over 50 million registered users, with net inflow amounts increasing by as much as 210% quarter-on-quarter, and asset reserve ratios maintained at over 100%. Behind these numbers lies not only the platform's strength but also the team's efforts in market communication and user engagement.

One Year of Building: Ecological Contributor to HTX DAO

In the crypto world, true achievement lies not only in personal growth but also in contributions to ecological development. As an ambassador for HTX DAO, Molly has played a crucial role in promoting decentralized governance.

At the "TRON x HTX DAO 2025 Hong Kong Night" event, Molly announced the official launch of the "Holding Voting Tool." The introduction of this tool has made HTX DAO's governance more open and transparent; mid-year, the coin listing recommendation governance mechanism was initiated, marking a groundbreaking innovation that empowers HTX DAO community members to participate in the coin listing decisions on Huobi HTX through voting, signifying a key step towards decentralized governance. Since the launch of this mechanism, six new cryptocurrencies have been successfully listed on Huobi HTX through recommendations from the HTX DAO community.

Meanwhile, the quarterly burn of $HTX is ongoing. Currently, the total amount of $HTX burned has reached 858 trillion, with a cumulative burn value of approximately $163 million. Data shows that the burn efficiency of $HTX has continued to accelerate over the past year, growing from 0.78% in Q2 2024 to 1.39% in Q3 2025, with an average burn growth rate of 33% during this period. With the dual support of ecological empowerment and deflationary mechanisms, the $HTX community is thriving and continuously expanding. As of October 31 this year, the number of users holding tokens across the network has reached 849,900, an increase of nearly 17% since January.

At the same time, Molly is also an active promoter of the HTX DAO philosophy. At the 2025 RWA International Investment and Financing Conference in Hong Kong, she pointed out that "DAO governance + RWA assets" will be the core path to building a new financial civilization interface. In her interpretation, HTX DAO is not just building a DAO but constructing a civilizational interface.

Dancing with Huobi HTX: From Darkest Moments to Dawn Rebirth

If cross-boundary transformation showcases Molly's breadth, then the cyclical ups and downs experienced with Huobi HTX define the depth of her professional life.

"I have experienced Huobi throughout: the peak of glory, the fall from grace, the darkest moments, and finally, the rebirth." This is not only Molly's monologue but also a testament to her deep connection with the platform. During Huobi's most challenging times, faced with external olive branches and doubts, she made a choice that surprised many—she chose to stay.

This commitment stems from the rational choice characteristic of the ENTP personality type: "to walk through the narrow gate, not the noisy road." She candidly stated, "I have some interest in money, but not much; I care more about personal growth." In her view, following a top industry leader to revive a once-glorious but now struggling enterprise, the tempering of willpower, sense of belief, and problem-solving abilities throughout this process is far more valuable than short-term gains. "Opportunities do not appear wrapped in gold dust; they are heavily wrapped in iron thorns and hot coals."

The foundation of this commitment comes from her absolute trust in the "team's essence" at Huobi HTX. She has seen, amidst the chaos, the untainted ideals and principles of true Huobi people, as well as the increasingly solid trust built through working with Sun Yuchen over time. This "brotherhood" forged in adversity is the most resilient core of Huobi HTX's corporate culture—individual value will be realized in the platform's rebirth, and the platform's return to its peak will undoubtedly be co-written by every individual who remains steadfast.

Female Power: A Unique Perspective in the Web3 World

In the Web3 world, Molly showcases the unique perspective and leadership of women. She not only understands blockchain on a technical level but also views this emerging field from the perspective of humanities and social change.

Molly has stated that her diverse background is not a disadvantage but an advantage. Her training as an art student has made her more creative and empathetic, her directing experience has equipped her with the ability to coordinate the big picture and tell stories, while her producing experience has honed her meticulous logic and resource integration skills.

As she emphasizes the value of inclusivity and diversity in HTX DAO governance, she believes that true decentralization is not only about the dispersion of technology but also about the diversification of decision-making power and the democratization of governance.

Future Outlook: Co-evolution of Individuals and Ecosystems

Looking ahead, Molly envisions that Huobi HTX will deepen its strategic cooperation with HTX DAO to collaboratively empower sustainable ecological development. She points out that through the DAO's voting mechanism, community members can widely participate in key aspects such as platform governance and new asset listing decisions.

At the same time, Molly recognizes the close connection between personal growth and ecological development. She believes that in the Web3 era, individual value and network value are symbiotic. Each person's contribution increases the overall value of the network, while the development of the network provides more opportunities for individuals.

From art student to spokesperson for a crypto exchange, from director to DAO ambassador, every leap Molly has made proves that in the world of Web3, background is not a boundary but a bridge of connection; gender is not a limitation but a unique perspective. Her growth story itself is the best interpretation of the open, inclusive, and co-constructive spirit of the crypto world.
