In the current environment where hot topics in the crypto market are constantly shifting, users have increasingly high demands for the breadth of asset allocation and the efficiency of fund utilization. The ability to seize market opportunities in real-time and to solidify products, returns, and services simultaneously is the most direct standard by which users evaluate a trading platform at this stage. In July 2026, Huobi HTX adhered to the principle of putting users first, making simultaneous efforts in asset expansion, trading tools, yield products, event operations, and ecological construction, resulting in a month-on-month growth of new registered users by as much as 15%, delivering a monthly report of multi-line progress.

Expansion of TradFi Landscape, Continuous Increase in Trading Volume

This month, Huobi's contract asset matrix continued to expand, launching 56 new assets, of which 51 are popular stock perpetual contracts. The asset layout closely revolves around four high-demand sectors: commodities, precious metals, AI chips, and storage, carefully selecting the core targets with the highest market attention, balancing growth potential and defensive attributes. Among them, AI and semiconductors became the strongest mainline in July, with core storage and computing targets like SK Hynix (SKHYNIX, SKHY), Micron Technology (MU), and SanDisk (SNDK) being launched one after another, helping users flexibly capture market trends. Currently, the platform supports 170 types of TradFi assets, comprehensively covering U.S. stocks, ETFs, and Pre-IPOs, maintaining an industry-leading level in the coverage of U.S. stocks. Users can participate in trading opportunities for global core assets in a one-stop manner on Huobi HTX without needing to switch platforms.

While the asset matrix is being perfected, the trading experience is also continuously optimized. In July, Huobi's contracts completed deep adaptations for TradFi, optimizing index sources and funding rate mechanisms, making the pricing of stock contracts closer to the real market; a dedicated navigation for TradFi was launched on the web, making it easier for users to find stock targets. Additionally, the Rebase function for stock perpetual contracts is expected to be launched in the third quarter of this year, further upgrading the trading experience.

As a result, trading scale has surged. By the end of July, the trading volume in the Huobi HTX TradFi zone set a historical record for a single day, increasing more than tenfold compared to the daily average in June, with the cumulative trading volume for TradFi reaching approximately $2.5 billion.

In addition to continuously refining TradFi contract trading, Huobi HTX is making larger layouts around the integration of traditional finance and the crypto market. Against the backdrop of RWA, especially stock tokenization, gradually becoming an important development direction in the global digital asset industry, Huobi HTX continues to monitor international regulatory dynamics, studying the regulatory framework and compliance paths for related businesses, preparing for future product innovation and international expansion.

Copy Trading and Strategy Bots Grow Against the Trend, Mobile Grid Officially Launched

Despite the recent overall pressure on the crypto market, Huobi's two automated trading services have achieved growth against the trend: in July, the trading volume of copy trading increased by 184% compared to June, and the trading volume of contract strategy bots grew by 9%, with the platform's average daily position amount rising by 7%.

The growth of the copy trading business comes from the accumulation of the trader ecosystem. The platform continuously optimizes the leaderboard mechanism, constantly attracting and retaining quality traders, steadily expanding the trader team size, and providing users with richer and more professional copy trading options, enhancing both the return experience and user trust in copy trading.

In terms of strategy tools, the mobile grid was officially launched in July, allowing the grid range to be dynamically adjusted according to market conditions, helping users intelligently capture volatility returns in fluctuating markets. The initial order placement mechanism for contract grids has been upgraded to limit price slippage orders, effectively compressing slippage losses caused by market fluctuations during the order placement process, thereby improving the performance of long-term running grid strategies.

Multiple optimizations in the trading experience are also reflected in users' high-frequency operation scenarios: when opening both long and short positions for the same trading pair, one-click closing is supported, allowing for quick operations during rapid market changes; risk control models and triggering rules have been optimized in sync, further enhancing the ability to prevent liquidation in extreme market conditions; the newly launched contract activity center consolidates various contract activity entrances onto one page, eliminating the need for users to switch back and forth between multiple entrances.

Over $290 million in Earn Coin Subscription Amount, Comprehensive Strengthening of Lending System

Asset utilization efficiency is one of the most concerning issues for long-term holders. In July, Huobi Earn Coin accumulated nearly 28,000 users for subscriptions, with the subscription amount exceeding $290 million. Stablecoins remain the most popular choice, with USDT, USDD, and USDC savings products attracting over 20,000 participants due to their consistently leading yield advantages, with subscription amounts approaching $250 million. For Prime 5 and above large clients, the BTC VIP savings product was launched, offering up to 1% annualized yield. Along with the previously launched USDT VIP savings, large clients now have more options for long-term asset allocation.

Lending services have introduced innovative gameplay. The margin exchange for TRX chain energy arbitrage path allows users to pledge BTC, ETH, or USDT to borrow TRX, invest in TRON Stake 2.0 to obtain and lease energy, thereby earning high annualized returns; concurrently, popular cryptocurrencies like XAUT, HYPE, ONDO, and AAVE have launched limited-time low-interest lending, further reducing the financing costs for holders. On the institutional side, Huobi's liquidity enhancement program continues to provide large lending services for top global market makers and institutional clients, supporting multiple currencies like TRX and USDT, and offering customized solutions for ultra-large clients, including higher pledge rates and more lenient liquidation mechanisms.

In the C2C aspect, Huobi's selection station completed a diverse advertising tag upgrade in July, allowing users to quickly identify quality trading resources through optimized advertisement information display logic, continuously improving withdrawal and deposit efficiency and experience.

Online and Offline Engage with the World Cup, SVIP Journey Reshapes Service Experience

The 2026 World Cup in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico was the most globally focused event in July. Around this hot topic, Huobi HTX launched a World Cup prediction event with a total prize pool of 500,000 USDT, including champion predictions, single match outcomes, and total goals, providing global users with another layer of enjoyment beyond watching the games. The event attracted nearly 13,000 users to participate, with players casting over 180,000 prediction tickets, driving nearly $170 million in trading volume.

Beyond the online prediction event, Huobi HTX also brought SVIP clients to the World Cup venue. To thank core clients for their long-term companionship and support, Huobi HTX specially created an exclusive deep tour during the World Cup quarter-finals, offering VIP boxes at the stadium and customized itineraries, allowing SVIP clients to immerse themselves in the excitement of the World Cup on-site.

Genesis Hackathon Successfully Concludes, $HTX Application Scenarios Continue to Expand

In July, the Genesis Hackathon co-hosted by HTX DAO and B.AI successfully concluded. As an important part of the HTX DAO Genesis Program, this hackathon focused on the AI × Web3 track, attracting over 200 developer teams to participate, exploring quality projects around AI Agents, AI trading, AI payments, AI wallets, DeFi, and more, linking global developers, investment institutions, and ecological partners, continuously improving the innovative ecosystem of HTX DAO.

In the same month, Huobi HTX launched the first phase of the TradFi trading mining activity. Users can not only trade TradFi contracts at a negative fee rate, but the fees generated will be fully used for the repurchase and destruction of $HTX to support the long-term value stability of $HTX. The trading volume for the first phase exceeded 63 million USDT, returning over 1.8 billion $HTX in fees to users. Currently, the second phase of the TradFi trading mining activity is in full swing.
