HTX 2024 Recap & 2025 Outlook: Embracing Global Growth with Innovation and Trust
Foreword
As we enter 2025, the cryptocurrency industry has embarked on a new growth cycle. Bitcoin hit new highs, breaking through the $100,000 milestone, driven by multiple stimuli, including the halving in 2024 and Trump’s victory in the presidential election. Ethereum’s “Cancun-Deneb” upgrade completely activated the Layer2 ecosystem, significantly reducing on-chain transaction fees with improved user experience. The deeper integration of AI and blockchain has promoted the comprehensive innovation of DeFi, NFT and SocialFi, enabling a richer Web3 application scenario. The approval of spot ETFs of Bitcoin and Ethereum have drawn more institutional investors, leading to accelerated integration of traditional finance and the crypto industry. Expecting favorable adjustment of interest rate policy by the Federal Reserve and easing global regulatory environment, the crypto market is ushering in a new golden age.
