Weekly Gain of Up to 319%! HTX New Listings Weekly Recap (June 1–7): BTCFi Ignites June’s Market Rally, and HTX’s Fresh Listings Deliver Wealth Effects Once Again

Over the past week (June 1–7), the crypto market experienced a phase of recovery following the sharp correction at the end of May, with capital continuing to flow into high-beta sectors. According to HTX’s weekly data, BTCFi, DeFi, BSC-based Chinese MEME tokens, AI, and privacy-focused projects all delivered standout performance. Notably, BTW and ZEST—newly listed assets that HTX prioritized early—delivered particularly strong results, reaffirming the explosive potential of high-quality early-stage assets.

HTX’s Early-Stage Asset Advantage Reemerges: BTW and ZEST Lead Market Gains

The BTCFi sector was unquestionably the top-performing segment this week. Market enthusiasm for high-quality Bitcoin ecosystem projects remains robust. As Bitcoin’s infrastructure continues to mature, BTCFi is emerging as the next major capital magnet—following in the footsteps of DeFi and Layer 2 solutions. Moreover, as the market enters the second half of the year, DeFi stands to benefit further from rising on-chain transaction activity and the gradual entry of institutional capital into the broader crypto space.

Notably, ZEST and BTW share similar growth drivers. Having launched earlier on HTX, both ZEST and BTW achieved early liquidity development, followed by listing on Binance’s perpetual futures contracts—significantly boosting investor attention and trading depth, thereby fueling surging market sentiment.

• BTW (Bitway): Surged 319% weekly, ranking among the market’s strongest performers. Bitway is a Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for Bitcoin-native applications.
• BABY (Babylon): Up 32% this week. Also part of the BTCFi ecosystem, Babylon is a decentralized protocol enabling native Bitcoin staking directly on the Bitcoin blockchain—without intermediaries. Its price catalyst stemmed primarily from its recent spot listing on Korea’s leading exchange, Upbit.
• ZEST (Zest Protocol): Gained 87% weekly. Zest Protocol is a Bitcoin-native lending protocol. As the Bitcoin ecosystem expands, a new wave of innovation is rapidly taking shape—centered on enhancing BTC asset utilization, yield generation, and financialization use cases.
• BEAT (Audiera): Rose 210% in one week—second only to BTW in strength. Audiera pioneers an agent-native participatory economic model where humans and autonomous AI agents participate as equals.

Chinese MEME Tokens Maintain Momentum; AI and Privacy Sectors Stay Active

The MEME sector remains one of the most talked-about segments in this market cycle. Unlike traditional MEME projects, BSC-based Chinese MEME tokens often gain traction through community consensus, viral spread across Chinese internet platforms, and short-term capital alignment.

• Longxia (Lobster): Up 62% this week. Longxia is a popular OpenClaw-themed Chinese MEME token on BSC.
• Binance Life: Gained 33%. Inspired by a meme trend (“Android Life” / “iPhone Life”) popularized by Chinese internet KOL Hu Chenfeng, Binance Life has recently generated intense discussion within Chinese crypto communities.
• WLD (Worldcoin): Up 25% this week. Proposed in 2019 by OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman, Worldcoin remains one of the flagship AI-themed projects, consistently attracting investor interest.
• ZEC (Zcash): Up 15% this week. As a representative privacy project, ZEC benefits from rising global discourse around on-chain privacy, data security, and digital identity—reigniting investor interest in privacy assets. Trading volume and热度 for ZEC have notably increased recently.
