Huobi HTX New Asset Weekly Review (5.25—5.31): XLM skyrocketed by 78%, AI is warming up, BSC exploded over the weekend, and funds are flowing into these sectors

The last week of May (May 25 - May 31) saw the cryptocurrency market continue its fluctuating pattern, with Bitcoin repeatedly changing hands in a high price range as funds continued to seek out popular sectors with narrative support and liquidity advantages. According to data from the Huobi HTX platform, this week's top-performing assets included various tracks such as Perp DEX, AI, Layer1, and the BSC ecosystem, among which the leading Perp DEX asset HYPE maintained a strong performance, the AI sector saw renewed interest, and the BSC ecosystem experienced a concentrated surge over the weekend driven by market expectations.

The popularity of the Perp DEX track remains strong, while Layer1 veteran projects warm up

The main focus this week is the Perp DEX track. As the on-chain trading experience continues to improve, high-frequency trading users are increasingly demanding transparency and control over their assets, leading more users to turn to on-chain derivatives trading. Decentralized perpetual contract platforms (Perp DEX) have become one of the most promising segments in this cycle.

• HYPE (Hyperliquid): Increased by 15% this week, becoming one of the most representative leading assets in this round of derivatives. Hyperliquid is a high-performance L1 optimized from the ground up, with a vision to create a fully on-chain open financial system. As on-chain trading volume continues to grow, its ecological value is being re-evaluated by the market.

• XLM (Stellar): Increased by 78% in a single week, an established public chain project. The Stellar network is an open payment network that connects different financial systems, allowing anyone to build low-cost financial services for their communities. XLM has been continuously promoting institutional collaborations and ecological development in recent years.

The AI track regains attention, and the BSC ecosystem erupts over the weekend

After several weeks of adjustment, the AI track has once again become a focal point for funds. Whenever market liquidity improves, AI remains one of the hottest directions where consensus among funds is easily formed. Meanwhile, expectations for Binance to launch U.S. stock-related services continue to rise, boosting BNB and further activating the entire BSC ecosystem.

Previously, Huobi HTX fully launched the TradFi sector, providing users with an ultimate experience of "24/7 U.S. stock contract trading." Currently, the "U.S. Stock Contract TradFi Trading Competition" has also begun, allowing trading of popular quality U.S. stocks and TradFi assets' perpetual contracts, competing for a generous prize pool of $50,000.

• WLD (Worldcoin): Increased by 21% this week, driven by Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI. It consists of three parts: World ID (a privacy-protecting digital identity), Worldcoin Token (distributed for free worldwide), and World App. The narrative of integrating AI and cryptocurrency remains one of the long-term promising directions in the market.

• FHE (Mind Network): Weekly increase of 19%. As a representative project focusing on privacy computing and crypto AI infrastructure, the "AI + Privacy Computing" track where FHE is located is receiving increasing attention from institutions. As AI applications continue to expand, the demand for data security and privacy protection is also rising, creating new growth opportunities for related projects.

• BNB saw a weekly increase of 10%, as the core asset of the BSC ecosystem, its rise has boosted the overall activity of the ecosystem; Binance Life increased by 20% during the week, a BSC Chinese MEME project, making it one of the most talked-about assets this week.

DeFi and BTCFi continue to develop, with emerging narratives constantly emerging

This week, the DeFi and BTCFi sectors also remained active. More and more market participants are beginning to realize that Bitcoin is not only a store of value but is also expected to become an important underlying asset in the future on-chain financial system. As a result, the BTCFi track has become one of the important incremental directions in this market cycle.

• WARD (Warden Protocol): Increased by 13%. The Warden protocol is a full-stack L1 blockchain designed for developers to build smart applications. With the increase in on-chain capital utilization and the continuous enrichment of yield strategies, the DeFi track is entering a new round of product innovation cycles.

• Newly launched project ZEST (Zest Protocol): Increased by 10%. Zest Protocol is a Bitcoin lending protocol. As the Bitcoin ecosystem continues to expand, a new ecosystem is rapidly forming around the increased utilization of BTC assets, enhanced yields, and financial applications.
