HTX, a leading crypto exchange, has released its Q1 2025 performance report, demonstrating significant growth across user activity, asset onboarding, and platform utility despite a turbulent crypto market. HTX has reported a 210% increase in net inflows compared to the previous quarter, alongside the achievement of several operational milestones. These developments contribute to the platform’s continued expansion and presence in the global cryptocurrency market.
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 reported sustained user participation in its flagship Launchpool product, indicating continued engagement with the platform’s feature offerings. 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.
Thought Leadership and Product Enhancements
HTX Ventures released pivotal industry research this quarter, covering the AI agent revolution and DeFi compliance trends:
- “DeepSeek Ignites AI’s iPhone Moment” highlighted the rise of reinforcement-learning-powered agent tokens in real-world crypto use.
- “A New Era for DeFi” explored opportunities in RWAFi and stablecoin payments, driven by evolving regulatory clarity.
Additionally, HTX Ventures released the article, “Striking a Balance between Compliance and Innovation in a Shifting Regulatory Landscape”, providing strategic insight into navigating regulation while sustaining innovation.
Product-wise, HTX launched its upgraded “Premium C2C Zone,” featuring pre-screened merchants with zero-asset-freeze policies for optimal fiat onboarding. Meanwhile, Earn product enhancements now support auto-redemption and 1:1 USDT→USDD flexible staking, maximizing passive income opportunities.
