Walking with the Wise: What Key Signals Did the HTX DAO VIP Dinner for Major Clients Release?
As the entire industry recalibrates its coordinates amid a downturn, and issues such as compliance, liquidity, and asset security are repeatedly brought to the forefront, how a platform should build—and what kind of relationship it should build—with its core user base has become a pivotal question determining the industry’s future landscape. Through this dinner event, HTX (formerly Huobi) presented its approach to addressing this challenge.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsApril marks one of the busiest periods of the year for the Web3 industry. Booths, roadshows, and roundtable discussions push information density to its limits. Yet if you’ve been in this space long enough, you’ll know that the most meaningful conversations don’t always happen amid the noise. On the evening of April 22, HTX DAO hosted an exclusive VIP dinner—an invitation-only dialogue that brought together VIP clients from across the globe.
As the entire industry recalibrates its coordinates amid a bear market—and as topics like compliance, liquidity, and asset security repeatedly take center stage—the question facing every platform is no longer just *how* to build relationships with its core user base, but *what kind* of relationship to build. That question will decisively shape the industry’s future landscape. Through this dinner, Huobi HTX offered its answer.
Making Trust Verifiable
In recent years, trust costs across the exchange industry have surged due to repeated black-swan events. Every platform must confront a fundamental question: Why should users entrust hundreds of thousands—or even millions—of dollars to it? Huobi HTX responded with sincerity: through time, data, and a consistent track record of reliability—even under extreme market conditions.
As of Q1 2026, Huobi HTX’s clean assets rank firmly among the top tier of global offshore exchanges. Amid industry-wide capital outflows, Huobi HTX achieved逆势 growth in net deposits exceeding $30 million. More importantly, SVIP trading volume rose by as much as 50% over the past year—evidence that an increasing number of high-net-worth users are casting their votes of confidence with real capital.
Making Expectations Actionable
Maintaining this hard-earned trust hinges on what comes next. In his opening speech at the dinner, Sun Yuchen, Global Advisor to Huobi HTX, addressed VIP clients’ expectations candidly and without reservation.
He spoke about $HTX. Recently, $HTX officially became Huobi HTX’s sole fee-discount token—a move signaling strong conviction in its utility, especially as other platforms gradually downplay platform token benefits. Sun Yuchen stated, “Our overarching strategy this year centers on empowering $HTX—focusing diligently on fundamentals, business operations, and service quality—not capital-market maneuvers.”
He spoke about ecosystem synergy. Beyond Huobi HTX’s steady growth, P Network has also seen explosive expansion since entering 2026, climbing significantly in global exchange rankings. “Our strategic framework positions Huobi HTX as the main platform and P Network as a subsidiary—or ‘Huobi Alpha,’” Sun Yuchen explained. P Network operates at a faster pace, serving as the frontline for listing and testing cutting-edge assets while maintaining its zero-fee advantage. Huobi HTX prioritizes stability, anchoring core liquidity and catering to premium clients. Optimizing liquidity across both platforms remains a top priority—with projected liquidity improvements doubling this year.
He spoke about fiat on-ramps. According to Sun Yuchen, Huobi HTX is actively expanding its OTC business globally—partnering with local regulators and payment channels to roll out its signature zero-freeze service into more key markets.
“We’re not doing anything superficial—we deliver tangible empowerment and concrete change, with major updates every quarter,” Sun Yuchen affirmed.
Making Service Replicable
The real needs of VIP clients may be simpler than imagined. For users operating at scale, market volatility isn’t necessarily their greatest risk. What matters more is whether issues receive prompt responses and resolutions, whether trading feels seamless, and whether product offerings are comprehensive. It’s these specific, practical experiences—taken together—that ultimately determine where a VIP client chooses to place their business.
Huobi HTX’s upgrades to its SVIP program over the past year directly address such concrete concerns. Its guiding principle isn’t simply “layering on perks,” but rather redesigning service granularity around the actual asset management journey of high-net-worth users—centered on three pillars: asset security, asset allocation, and dedicated access.
A dedicated high-yield earn product line for VIP clients offers up to 9% APY, supported by diverse structures enabling customized portfolio solutions for varied needs; deeper coverage of premium asset pools ensures users never wait in line when opportunities arise; and one-on-one account managers guarantee immediate support at critical moments. An increasingly refined SVIP service system integrates all these capabilities into a cohesive whole.
The true barrier to elite-tier service lies in consistency. Doing it once is easy—it’s far harder to ensure every VIP receives the same high standard of response, every single time. This requires years of accumulated infrastructure: robust service systems, seasoned talent pipelines, and rigorously codified operational protocols. “Professional depth” ultimately resides in these invisible foundations. Events like this VIP dinner are precisely how that service system extends offline—where the platform shares its strategic vision with VIPs, listens to their feedback, insights, and needs, and carries those inputs directly into the next cycle of product and service iteration.
Making Co-Creation Sustainable
As the dinner progressed into its second half, the atmosphere grew more relaxed. Platform executives engaged openly with attendees—discussing the platform’s next steps, broader industry trends, and the real-world challenges VIPs face in daily usage.
That, too, is the essence of this dinner. While many voices in the industry continue chasing short-term narratives and traffic, Huobi HTX chose to bring its strategic direction back to its users—inviting those who understand the platform best to co-shape what comes next. “User-first” has been said so often in the exchange industry—but its true weight can only be measured in face-to-face dialogue.
As Sun Yuchen noted, such close, direct engagement with users has already become常态化 at Huobi HTX.
Where will the next dialogue take place? What new ideas will emerge? Those answers remain unwritten. But one thing is certain: the channel for dialogue will stay open—for every “Huobi partner” willing to co-build this ecosystem alongside the platform.
