HTX DAO x TRON TRON TOKEN2049 Afterparty: Leading the Next Decade of Global Web3 Ecosystem
As one of the earliest participants in the crypto industry, HTX has consistently driven innovation and led new trends throughout its 11 years of establishment.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsOn September 18 local time, the TOKEN2049 Afterparty, jointly hosted by HTX DAO and TRON, and co-organized by Alethea AI, Tour Billion, BitWave, ChainGPT, Google Cloud, The Block, among others, took place in Singapore. Justin Sun, founder of TRON and global advisor of Huobi HTX, delivered speeches alongside other industry leaders, discussing future trends in the Web3 space.
As one of the world’s most influential Web3 summits, TOKEN2049 brings together elite professionals from across the globe. Seizing this opportunity, HTX DAO and TRON hosted a grand Afterparty, gathering over 1,100 seasoned Web3 builders. The event attracted numerous renowned projects, investment firms, and crypto KOLs. Media partners included Odaily Planet Daily, ChainBeats, Foresight News, TechFlow, MarsBit, Cointime, DeThings, PANews, Jinse Finance, ChainCatcher, MetaEra, BroadChain Financial, Bitcoin.com, BeInCrypto, Blockopedia, and Monsterblockhk.
At the TOKEN2049 Afterparty, Justin Sun delivered a video keynote titled "The New Decade: Leading the Global Web3 Ecosystem with TRON x Huobi HTX." He highlighted the achievements of both Huobi HTX and TRON, while outlining a future vision driven by the synergistic "dual-engine" development of the two platforms.
Sun stated that blockchain technology has evolved from concept to reality over the past decade, fundamentally transforming the world—and both Huobi HTX and TRON have played pivotal roles in this journey. "TRON was born from a deep exploration of blockchain’s infinite possibilities. We remain committed to the core values of openness, transparency, and decentralization. As a key partner of TRON, Huobi HTX has helped drive the growth of the blockchain industry. This year marks Huobi HTX’s 11th anniversary. To sustainably build and innovate within the industry over such a long period is an achievement we can be proud of. Adhering to long-termism, Huobi HTX actively navigates market and regulatory shifts, consistently staying at the forefront through its user-first philosophy and relentless pursuit of security and superior user experience."
Looking ahead to the next decade of Web3, Sun emphasized that technology and products must focus more on real-world applications: "This includes higher-frequency interactions, diversified use cases, smarter AI assistance, more secure network systems, and connecting to a broader world." He added, "Over the next ten years, we will witness the powerful dual-engine effect between TRON and Huobi HTX."
Sun cited SunPump, the meme token launch platform launched on the TRON ecosystem in August, as a prime example of this dual-engine synergy. Nurtured on TRON’s fertile on-chain environment and accelerated by Huobi HTX’s market resources, SunPump became a phenomenon within just one month—sparking explosive transaction volumes and reciprocally boosting both TRON and Huobi HTX through traffic feedback loops.
"Our ultimate goal is to build a comprehensive Web3 ecosystem encompassing payments, investments, social interactions, and more," said Sun. "We will focus on energizing the TRON ecosystem, attracting high-quality DApps and projects, strengthening integration between TRON and Huobi HTX, and leveraging Huobi HTX’s global influence and resources. By combining TRON’s technological innovation with Huobi HTX’s market reach, we aim to deploy products and services globally faster and more effectively."
In addition to Sun, several guests from leading projects and media outlets also spoke at the event, including Arif Khan, Founder and CEO of AI infrastructure provider Alethea AI; Victor Yap, APAC Marketing Lead at gaming platform Tour Billion; Leo, Co-founder of Bitcoin L2 solution BitWave; Sharon Sciammas, CMO of AI tool provider ChainGPT; and Larry Cermak, CEO of crypto media outlet The Block. They shared insights and outlooks on trending sectors such as AI, DePIN, BTCFI, and GameFi.
As part of Huobi HTX’s 11th-anniversary celebration, the KOL Glory Battle Awards Ceremony was held during the Afterparty. Launched on July 16 and concluding on August 31, the campaign saw enthusiastic participation from KOLs and users alike, generating a total trading volume of $7.2 billion and 74,000 votes. A total of 111 KOLs received awards, sharing 15,000 USDT in rewards. Yikesqq and OxRasTrack were named Global Most Watched KOLs; while six individuals—Chuhaoji’s Web3, kajiQ, Michill, Goldchau.eth, Bishiwang, and EnHeng嗯哼—were honored as Most Influential KOLs.
Additionally, 10 individuals including Xiao Ge Community and G.CHINTHAN were recognized as Most Popular KOLs; over 20, including Crypto360 and crypto pro, won Best Content Creation (图文) KOL; 30 members from Panda Community and Fuwen Community earned titles as Futures Trading Pioneers; and more than 30 others, including N.Priyadharshini and SunshineN, were awarded Popular Streamer KOLs.
Notably, the evening featured dynamic audiovisual performances and multiple lucky draw sessions. Winners walked away with generous prizes, including 11 hardware wallets, 2.2 billion $HTX tokens, 5 ETH, $MASA worth 2,000 USDT, and 2 tickets to the F1 Grand Prix final.
At TOKEN2049 in 2023, Huobi HTX announced a brand upgrade on its 10th anniversary, marking the first step into its next decade. Over the past year, Huobi HTX has maintained strong momentum, with trading volume and liquidity ranking among the industry’s top performers. It continues to launch innovative products and high-quality assets. In early August, Huobi HTX rose to second place globally in CoinGecko’s organic exchange rankings and has remained in the Top 3 for several consecutive months—evidence of steady progress toward its goal of becoming one of the “Big Three” exchanges. Meanwhile, the establishment of HTX DAO represents another leap forward in building a decentralized ecosystem. To date, supported by Huobi HTX, the total funds allocated for HTX DAO liquidity contributions, $HTX buybacks, and token burns have reached $51.5 million, significantly advancing the development of a decentralized community.
This year, participants from the Huobi HTX ecosystem remain active at TOKEN2049. Beyond co-hosting the Afterparty with TRON, HTX Ventures’ Managing Partner will join a panel discussion hosted by Google Cloud titled “AI and Web3: Building a Trusted Digital Future.” Huobi HTX’s global branding efforts have achieved initial success and are set to expand further.
As one of the earliest players in the crypto space, Huobi HTX has consistently driven industry innovation and set new trends over its 11-year history. Going forward, Huobi HTX remains committed to its mission of “enabling financial freedom for eight billion people worldwide.” As Justin Sun put it, “With the joint efforts of Huobi HTX and TRON, we are confident in building a truly practical, convenient, and thriving Web3 ecosystem for global users within the next decade.”
