Huobi HTX New Assets Weekly Review (9.1-9.7):盘点 of "High-Potential" Sectors Amid Market Volatility
Huobi HTX data shows that multiple tokens in the DEFI, AI, and L1-related sectors recorded significant gains, becoming the main highlights of the past seven days.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
Over the past week (September 1–7), the crypto market continued its volatile trend, with major assets like BTC and ETH remaining range-bound. Market sentiment stayed cautious, yet certain niche sectors performed strongly against the broader trend, attracting short-term capital inflows. Data from HTX shows that multiple tokens in DeFi, AI, and L1-related sectors recorded significant gains, becoming the main highlights of the past seven days.
L1 Sector: Emergence of New Public Chains
L1 public chains demonstrated steady performance, becoming one of the focal points of market attention. Their upward movement not only reflects sustained demand for underlying infrastructure but also indicates that the potential for new application rollouts and user growth is being repriced.
● M (MEME, L1): Weekly gain of 178%, the strongest performer. MemeCore (M) is the first Layer 1 public chain specifically built for "Meme 2.0." It breaks the long-standing dependency of meme projects on mainstream blockchains, using a "native chain + cultural consensus" architecture to elevate memes from mere speculative symbols into structured assets.
● SOON: Up 41% this week, indicating a clear rise in investor interest in emerging public chain narratives. SOON is a Rollup stack based on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), focused on high-performance blockchain solutions. Compared to traditional public chains, SOON aims to provide more efficient and lower-cost infrastructure to support large-scale Web3 adoption.
DeFi Recovery: Capital Returns, Narrative Continues
The broad-based rally in the DeFi market was no accident. On one hand, institutional capital is accelerating its entry—whether through RWA, compliant lending, or 401(k) allocations to crypto assets—providing long-term momentum. On the other hand, as bullish expectations grow, retail demand for on-chain yields is recovering, while continuous technological upgrades are spawning new use cases, driving capital to regroup.
Notably, many established projects made a comeback during this rebound, reflecting restored market confidence and signaling the beginning of a new round of DeFi competition.
● RED: Weekly gain of 63%. Part of the surge stemmed from its listing on Upbit, but fundamentally, RedStone (RED) has become one of the fastest-growing DeFi oracles. Its unique modular architecture enables price feeds for over a thousand crypto assets and supports integration across more than 100 public chains, demonstrating strong scalability and flexibility.
● EIGEN: Up 18% this week. Driven by staking activities from ETH reserve companies, EigenLayer (EIGEN) achieved a record-breaking TVL exceeding $22 billion in August.
AI Sector: Momentum Builds Steadily
The convergence of AI and blockchain is being driven by both technological innovation and growing market interest, with capital continuing to favor projects that offer real-world applications and strong ecosystem potential.
● WLD: Weekly gain of 28%. Benefiting from dual tailwinds in AI and identity verification, Worldcoin (WLD) maintained solid upward momentum. Data shows WLD has become a Top 3 asset in the on-chain public wallet holdings of Amber Group, a crypto financial services platform.
● BUZZ: Weekly gain of 20%. The primary driver behind Hive AI (Buzz)’s rise is its role as a DeFi Agent, drawing significant investor and user attention. Particularly amid rapidly increasing demand for DeFi usability, BUZZ’s value is being quickly recognized by the market.
BTC L2 Emerges Strongly
Overall, the BTC L2 ecosystem is gradually realizing its application value. The sector’s rise reflects not only short-term market sentiment but also underscores the long-term investment thesis centered on infrastructure development and ecosystem potential.
● MERL: Weekly gain of 25%. As the native token of Merlin Chain, MERL leverages Layer 2 technology to enhance Bitcoin’s transaction speed and scalability, improving BTC’s utility in payments, staking, and smart contract applications. On the news front, U.S.-listed company CIMG Inc. accepted Bitcoin as payment for stocks and plans to collaborate with Merlin Chain, further attracting capital inflows.
Market Outlook: New Potential Brewing Amid Volatility
Looking back at the past decade of Bitcoin market performance, September has typically been relatively weak, often posting negative returns—reflecting investor caution toward volatility and risk during this month. However, favorable factors are now accumulating: the inclusion of crypto assets in 401(k) plans supports long-term capital inflows, while expectations of Fed rate cuts could improve overall risk appetite. These two forces may provide meaningful support to the market, potentially creating conditions for new structural opportunities and an upward move alongside ongoing consolidation.
