Unveiling Halfway Mark and Future Course: HTX's 2025 Mid-Year Financial Report and Strategic Plan
HTX Announces Ambitious Plans for Second Half of 2025
HTX, a global leader in the crypto exchange industry, has unveiled its strategic plans for the second half of 2025. The exchange, which focuses on global expansion, thriving ecosystem, wealth effect, security, and compliance, aims to further solidify its position in the ever-evolving crypto landscape.
In the first half of 2025, HTX reported a 14% increase in user base and a 17% rise in trading volume, with Justin Sun playing an influential advisory role. The exchange's user base surged past 50 million, and trading volume rose by 11%.
HTX's growth strategy is centred around becoming a decentralized, fully transparent "People's Exchange," with a focus on user acquisition and asset expansion to sustain ecosystem growth, despite regulatory challenges.
To achieve this, HTX DAO is entering a new phase of community-driven governance. A share of trading fees on HTX will flow into a community-managed treasury, funding ecosystem growth and innovation, under the DAO Treasury System. This move is designed to empower the community and foster a more decentralized exchange.
HTX has also been proactive in enhancing user empowerment and ecosystem growth. The exchange has launched six new stablecoins, including USD1, issued by World Liberty Financial, a project backed by the Trump family. Furthermore, HTX has conducted significant token burns, with approximately 11.79 trillion HTX tokens destroyed in Q2 2025 alone and around 23 trillion tokens burned in the first half of the year.
In terms of security and compliance, HTX has partnered with custody providers Fireblocks and BitGo to enhance asset security and institutional services. These integrations provide advanced trading security and strengthen regulatory compliance capabilities.
Looking ahead, HTX has a packed agenda for the rest of 2025. The exchange plans a full app upgrade in Q3, including improvements to spot, margin, and futures trading. HTX is also taking a "bold yet cautious" approach to decentralization, aiming to institutionalize a fully decentralized, user-governed exchange model with verifiable on-chain accountability.
Community engagement on HTX DAO will be recorded on-chain and rewarded via future token airdrops, transforming participation into yield. The upgraded app will feature enhanced user experience, visual refreshes, and seamless order execution.
HTX's token recommendation standards for listing are built around three pillars: strong community demand, a proven team, and clear tokenomics. The exchange prides itself on providing users with safe and reliable services as a world-leading gateway to Web3.
Founded in 2013, HTX has evolved into a comprehensive ecosystem of blockchain businesses. Users can learn more about HTX by visiting their website at https://www.htx.com/ or HTX Square, and can follow them on X, Telegram, and Discord. For inquiries, users can contact [email protected].
