Huobi HTX releases April performance report: Contract trading volume nearly 100 billion, Huobi earns coins to solidify "stable income entry," advancing on multiple fronts to build an ecological growth flywheel

In April 2026, the crypto market completed a key sentiment recovery, with institutional funds continuously entering the market. Sectors such as AI, DeFi, and GameFi experienced rotating increases, and the overall market structure began to shift towards "selective recovery." Also in April, Huobi HTX delivered a growth report covering its entire business line. According to CMC data, Huobi HTX ranked first globally in net inflow of funds over a 7-day period in mid-May; the platform's overall assets grew by 4.94% month-on-month, with stablecoin assets increasing by 11.46%; monthly trading volume for contracts approached $100 billion; and it celebrated the first anniversary of Huobi's selection station. From user growth to ecological expansion, Huobi HTX in April was accelerating the construction of the next stage of its growth flywheel with a multi-pronged approach.

Net Inflow of Funds First in 7 Days: Platform Assets Steadily Grow, Stablecoins Become Core Driving Force

Asset scale is one of the core indicators for measuring platform health. In April, Huobi HTX's overall assets grew by 4.94% month-on-month, with stablecoin assets increasing by 11.46%, significantly outpacing the overall growth. This structural growth is inseparable from the continuous introduction of new assets and Huobi's ongoing efforts in earning coins.

In April, Huobi HTX launched a total of 9 new cryptocurrencies, jointly debuting the projects OPG, CHIP, BLEND, and MEGA.

• Performance of Popular Sectors: After its launch, BLEND increased by 151%, and CHIP rose by 74%. The AI sector was a strong performer in April, with the new coin Genius increasing by 50%; in the DeFi sector, SPK rose by 40%, and ORCA increased by 64%; in the GameFi sector, APE rose by 111%, and AXS increased by 52%; in the privacy sector, ZEC rose by 20%, and ZAMA increased by 50%.

In April, Huobi's stablecoin earning products continued to maintain industry-leading yield advantages, especially with the net inflow momentum of USDT, USDD, and USDC continuously strengthening, and the circulating scale of some PoS-type coins increasing by nearly 20%. Huobi HTX's exclusive VIP earning product has rewarded nearly a thousand major clients, with both user numbers and fund scales maintaining a dual increase since its launch. In the same month, 15 popular new coins were heavily introduced into the earning sector, driving new subscription amounts to exceed ten million. The accelerated accumulation of stablecoin assets reflects users' long-term trust in the platform's safety and yield stability, continuously solidifying Huobi's core positioning as a "stable income entry."

OTC Expands Entry, $HTX Ecosystem Activated: Holding Rate 88.9%, Daily Spot Trading Volume Increases by 117.6%

In terms of OTC, April 7 marked the first anniversary of Huobi's selection station. As the industry's first high-quality C2C trading area, Huobi's selection station reviewed key milestones since its launch on April 7, 2025. Among the most iconic breakthroughs in the industry are the introduction of the "100% full compensation mechanism" in August 2025 and the maintenance of a "0 freeze record" after 365 days of operation. From "first to launch" to "leading standards," Huobi's selection station has completed a leap from product innovation to industry paradigm construction in just one year, establishing a new benchmark for risk control and experience in the C2C sector, continuously promoting C2C trading towards a safer and more transparent direction.

In April, Huobi HTX successively launched two major themed activities: "$HTX Carnival Month" and "Passionate $HTX Season," setting multiple incentives around $HTX holdings, spot trading, grid strategies, and earning tasks, with each event's prize pool reaching 100,000 USDT. Official data shows:

• The holding rate of participating users in the activities reached 88.9%;

• The average holding amount during the activity period increased by 47.6%;

• Daily spot trading volume for $HTX increased by 117.6%.

At the same time, Huobi HTX, in collaboration with HTX DAO, continued to promote on social media and within the community, forming a "linkage loop of in-station rights and out-of-station ecological dissemination," further strengthening ecological consensus and providing users with a richer trading experience and asset participation opportunities.

Notably, on-chain staking exceeded 20 trillion $HTX in its first month. As the only token for fee deduction on the Huobi HTX trading platform, the price of $HTX peaked above 0.000002 U, strongly rising and stabilizing near the 60-week moving average (MA60) that had not been touched for nearly 17 months, setting a new high for this phase, benefiting holders directly from this price recovery trend. Additionally, the HTX Genesis Hackathon officially opened for registration and announced a total ecological development fund of 10 million U equivalent to $HTX, bringing more ecological dividends to participating users.

Deepening TradFi Layout, Frequent Product Upgrades: Nearly 100 Billion in Trading Volume

The contract business was one of the most impressive sectors for Huobi HTX in April. In April, 28 new contract cryptocurrencies were launched, covering 11 popular stock assets including MU, SNDK, META, and NVDA, driving monthly trading volume close to $100 billion. The TradFi layout deepened simultaneously, with Pre-IPO assets such as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic launched in early May, further enriching users' asset allocation choices. The annualized yield for Yubi Bao reached 2%, with average annualized returns consistently leading similar industry products, and BTC, ETH, and USDT enjoying the same annualized yield, with zero participation threshold, no lock-up restrictions, and daily distribution of earnings, not affecting normal contract trading.

On the product side, the contract system completed multiple upgrades this month:

• Information and Display: The search page added a "Hot Search Contracts" list to help users quickly lock onto market focuses.

• Architecture Reconstruction: The U-based contract trading system underwent comprehensive reconstruction, allowing full-position floating profits to be usable and transferable, and enabling independent leverage settings for isolated long and short positions, with upgrades adopting progressive automatic migration, requiring no manual operation, and not affecting positions and orders.

• Risk Control and Compliance: The contract copy trading added key information smart pop-ups, preempting risk control, enhancing compliance and user experience simultaneously.

Meanwhile, spot copy trading officially launched on April 20. This is an important step for Huobi HTX to complete the trading category loop, allowing ordinary users to follow professional traders' real strategies with one click, further lowering the investment threshold for spot trading and enhancing platform ecological activity. Huoban AI was launched, supporting market analysis, coin earning recommendations, news interpretation, and opportunity discovery; in terms of third-party custody, the Ceffu project code was completed in April, with public testing imminent. This project provides a safe and efficient asset custody and trading system for institutional users, marking further improvement in Huobi HTX's institutional service capabilities.

Deepening CIS Market Branding, Safety is No Small Matter: Awarded Best P2P Platform, Asset Reserve Rate Continues to Exceed 100%

In April, during the Blockchain Forum in Moscow, Huobi HTX was awarded the "Best P2P Platform" annual award and received multiple nominations for exchange and individual awards, continuously deepening Huobi HTX's brand trust and influence in the CIS market. At the same time, HTX Ventures released an April research report titled "The Rise of Yield Currencies: How Crypto New Banks Challenge Traditional Banking Models," and published a weekly review every Wednesday noon to help Huobi HTX users understand the current market situation and make quality investment decisions.

In terms of security, Huobi HTX continues to advance the application for virtual asset-related licenses in Kyrgyzstan, maintaining active communication with local governments and regulators, steadily promoting compliance layout in the Central Asian market.

According to the latest Merkle Tree Reserve Proof (PoR) data from Huobi HTX, as of May 1, 2026 (UTC+8), the reserve rates of various mainstream assets on the platform remained above 100%, with overall fund reserves being sufficient. As one of the earliest platforms in the industry to continuously disclose Merkle Tree Reserve Proof, Huobi HTX has publicly disclosed PoR data for 43 consecutive months, providing long-term security for user assets.

In this month's PoR update, the USDs aggregated assets were upgraded again—on the basis of the original unified display of dollar stablecoins such as USDT and USDC, the new USDS asset was included in the "USDs" aggregation system, making the platform's overall dollar asset structure clearer and more transparent. Users can access the "Assets - Reserve Proof Report" page on the Huobi HTX official website at any time to view the monthly updated reserve proof reports.

Huobi HTX's journey of advancement in April has been as hot as early summer. Behind the growth of each business line points in the same direction: through the synergy of product capabilities, operational density, and ecological breadth, creating more complete participation scenarios for users of different levels. This is the competitive barrier that Huobi HTX is establishing and the underlying logic for its next phase of scale growth.
