HTX Releases April Performance Report: Futures Trading Volume Approaches $10 Billion; Huobi Earn Solidifies “Stable Yield Gateway”; Multi-Pronged Strategy Builds Ecosystem Growth Flywheel
From user growth to ecosystem expansion, HTX (formerly Huobi) is accelerating the construction of its next-phase growth flywheel through a multi-pronged approach in April.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
In April 2026, the crypto market completed a critical emotional recovery. Institutional capital continued flowing in, while sectors including AI, DeFi, and GameFi rotated upward in gains—shifting the overall market structure toward “selective recovery.” In the same month, HTX delivered a comprehensive growth report across all business lines. According to CoinMarketCap (CMC) data, HTX ranked first globally in net fund inflows over a seven-day period in mid-May; its total platform assets rose 4.94% month-on-month, with stablecoin assets surging 11.46%; its monthly derivatives trading volume approached $100 billion; and it celebrated the one-year anniversary of Huobi Select. From user growth to ecosystem expansion, HTX advanced on multiple fronts in April, accelerating the construction of its next-phase growth flywheel.
Top Global Net Inflow Over 7 Days: Steady Platform Asset Growth Driven by Stablecoin Earning Products
Asset scale is one of the core indicators of platform health. In April, HTX’s total platform assets grew 4.94% month-on-month, with stablecoin assets rising 11.46%—a pace significantly outpacing the overall growth rate. This structural growth was underpinned by continuous new asset listings and the sustained momentum of HTX Earn.
In April, HTX launched nine new tokens, co-launching four projects—OPG, CHIP, BLEND, and MEGA. Among them, BLEND surged 151% post-listing, while CHIP rose 74%. The AI sector stood out as the strongest performer in April: Genius, an AI-sector token, gained 50% after listing; SPK and ORCA from the DeFi sector rose 40% and 64%, respectively; APE and AXS from the GameFi sector climbed 111% and 52%; and ZEC and ZAMA from the privacy sector posted gains of 20% and 50%.
In April, HTX Earn’s stablecoin flexible-term products maintained industry-leading yield advantages. Notably, net inflows for USDT, USDD, and USDC continued strengthening, while the circulating supply of select PoS tokens increased nearly 20%. HTX’s globally exclusive VIP flexible-term product—designed to reward nearly 1,000 high-value clients—has seen both user count and fund size rise consecutively since launch. Meanwhile, 15 popular new tokens were added to the Earn section, driving over $10 million in new subscription value. Accelerated accumulation of stablecoin assets reflects users’ long-term trust in the platform’s security and yield stability—further reinforcing HTX Earn’s core positioning as the “gateway to stable returns.”
OTC Expansion and $HTX Ecosystem Activation: 88.9% Holding Rate, Spot Daily Trading Volume Up 117.6%
On the OTC front, Huobi Select celebrated its first anniversary on April 7. As the industry’s first C2C premium trading zone, Huobi Select marked key milestones achieved since its global debut on April 7, 2025. Most notably, it pioneered the industry’s first “100% full compensation mechanism” in August 2025—and has maintained a flawless “zero freeze record” throughout its full 365-day operational history. From “first-to-market” to “standard-setting,” Huobi Select completed, in just one year, a leap from product innovation to industry paradigm building—establishing new benchmarks for risk control and user experience in the C2C space, and continuously advancing C2C trading toward greater safety and transparency.
In April, HTX rolled out two major campaigns—“$HTX Carnival Month” and “Ignite $HTX Season”—offering multi-layered incentives tied to $HTX holdings, spot trading, grid strategies, and earning tasks. Each campaign featured prize pools totaling $100,000 USDT. Official data shows that participating users achieved an 88.9% holding rate, with average daily holding amounts rising 47.6% during the campaign period, and $HTX spot trading volume increasing 117.6% day-on-day.
Simultaneously, HTX partnered with HTX DAO to promote these initiatives across social media and community channels, creating a closed-loop synergy between “in-platform benefit delivery” and “off-platform ecosystem amplification.” This strengthened ecosystem consensus and enriched users’ trading experiences and asset participation opportunities. Notably, on-chain staking reached over 2 trillion $HTX tokens within its first month—making $HTX, the sole fee discount token on the HTX exchange, surge to a peak price of $0.000002, breaking above its 60-week moving average (MA60) for the first time in nearly 17 months and hitting a new cyclical high. Holders directly benefited from this round of price recovery. Additionally, the HTX Genesis Hackathon officially opened registration and announced an ecosystem development fund totaling $10 million worth of $HTX, delivering further ecosystem rewards to participants.
Deepening TradFi Integration and Frequent Product Upgrades: Nearly $100 Billion in Trading Volume
Derivatives trading was among HTX’s most outstanding performance areas in April. The platform launched 28 new contract pairs—including 11 popular equity assets such as MU, SNDK, META, and NVDA—pushing monthly trading volume near $100 billion. Its TradFi integration deepened further: in early May, HTX listed pre-IPO assets including SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic, broadening users’ asset allocation options. YuBiBao delivered a daily annualized yield of 2%, consistently leading industry peers in average annualized returns. BTC, ETH, and USDT all enjoy equal annualized yields—requiring zero minimum balance, no lock-up periods, and daily payout distribution—without interfering with normal derivatives trading.
At the product level, HTX’s derivatives system underwent several upgrades this month. A new “Trending Contracts” leaderboard was added to the search page, helping users quickly identify market hotspots. The USD-margined contract trading system was fully rebuilt: cross-margin floating P&L became available for withdrawal and transfer; isolated-margin long/short positions now support independent leverage settings; and the upgrade employed a progressive automatic migration process—requiring zero manual intervention, with positions and orders unaffected. The copy-trading feature introduced intelligent pop-up alerts highlighting key risk information upfront, enhancing both compliance and user experience.
Meanwhile, spot copy-trading officially launched on April 20—a pivotal step for HTX to complete its trading product suite. Leveraging professional traders’ live strategies, retail users can now follow trades with one click, lowering entry barriers for spot investing and boosting platform ecosystem engagement. HuoBan AI also launched, supporting market analysis, earn recommendations, news interpretation, and opportunity discovery. On third-party custody, the Ceffu project’s code went live in April, with public testing imminent. Designed for institutional clients, Ceffu delivers a secure, efficient asset custody and trading infrastructure—marking another milestone in HTX’s institutional service capability enhancement.
Brand Building in CIS Markets and Uncompromising Security: Awarded “Best P2P Platform,” Reserve Ratio Sustained Above 100%
In April, at the Blockchain Forum Moscow Conference, HTX received the “Best P2P Platform” annual award, along with multiple nominations for exchange- and individual-level honors—further solidifying its brand trust and influence in the CIS region.
HTX Ventures released its April research report—The Rise of Yield-Bearing Currency: How Crypto Neobanks Are Challenging the Traditional Banking Model—and publishes weekly recaps every Wednesday at noon to help HTX users navigate current market dynamics and make sound investment decisions.
On security, HTX continues advancing its virtual asset licensing application in Kyrgyzstan, maintaining active dialogue with local authorities and regulators to steadily advance its compliant expansion into Central Asia. According to HTX’s latest Merkle Tree Proof of Reserve (PoR) data, as of May 1, 2026 (UTC+8), reserve ratios for all major assets remained above 100%, confirming ample liquidity coverage. As one of the earliest platforms in the industry to publish Merkle Tree PoR reports on an ongoing basis, HTX has publicly disclosed PoR data for 43 consecutive months—providing long-term assurance for user asset security. This month’s PoR update included an upgrade to the USDs aggregated asset category: in addition to previously unified display of USDT, USDC, and other dollar-pegged stablecoins, USDS has now been integrated into the “USDs” aggregation framework—enhancing clarity and transparency of the platform’s overall USD-denominated asset composition. Users may visit HTX’s official website “Assets – Proof of Reserve Report” page anytime to view the monthly updated reserve report.
HTX’s April advancement journey unfolded with the energy of early summer. Behind each line of business growth lies a singular direction: leveraging synergies across product capability, operational density, and ecosystem breadth to create more holistic participation scenarios for users at every level. This is the competitive moat HTX is building—and the foundational logic powering its next phase of scale-driven growth.
