Strong Growth in Users and Capital Inflows
In Q1 2025, HTX recorded a 116% increase in new registered users and a 210% jump in net inflows compared to the previous quarter. The platform’s March performance was particularly noteworthy, with natural traffic up 127% month-over-month and both search volume and backlinks reaching all-time highs.
This momentum coincided with the global media spotlight on Justin Sun, Global Advisor of HTX, who appeared on the cover of Forbes—becoming the fourth exchange leader featured after CZ, SBF, and Brian Armstrong.
Asset Performance and Trading Momentum
HTX’s agility in capturing market trends led to the early listing of key narrative tokens in Q1. The platform was among the first to launch AI-themed assets such as VIRTUAL (+104%), AVAAI (+256%), and LUNA (+312%), as well as “celebrity token” TRUMP, which reached 9x gains post-listing. In the DeFAI sector, assets like GRIFFAIN and GRIFT nearly doubled.
The exchange also launched strong performers from the Layer 2 and BSC ecosystems, including LAYER (+153%), XION (+116%), KAITO (+99%), TST, and MUBARAK, reinforcing its reputation for timely, strategic listings.
Launchpool and Campaign Engagement Peaks
HTX’s flagship Launchpool product continued to draw massive user interest. In its third season, the program saw participation peak at 178,000 users. Participants staking $HTX could access dual earnings from flexible staking yields and project airdrops. The second Launchpool alone distributed rewards across VIRTUAL, AVA, MOODENGETH, and KIMA.
Campaign-wise, January’s TRUMP spot-derivatives promotion attracted nearly 40,000 participants and generated $799 million in trading volume. March’s “SunPump Meme Fest” offered zero-fee trading and bonuses, drawing close to 10,000 users and achieving $14 million in campaign volume.
