I’ve been watching the entire Hong Kong Carnival Conference these past two days, and today is the event’s last day. I’m looking at the Q1 2026 earnings report that HTX has just released, and in a year full of macro uncertainty, I care more about the infrastructure capabilities a platform demonstrates than about short-term rises and falls.

Let me talk about a few core changes I, as a deep user of HTX, felt in Q1. 👇
1/ A sense of security—the final line of defense in trading
The longer I stay in this space, the more I realize how important “smooth deposits and withdrawals” and “asset transparency” are. My most direct experience in Q1 was HTX’s “0 freeze” moat that it has been hard at work on through careful selection—appeal responses were controlled within 3 minutes, and it truly solved a major pain point. On top of that, the platform has continuously published PoR (Proof of Reserves) of over 100% for 42 consecutive months. It’s this steady, incremental compliance and transparency that is key to rebuilding trust.
2/ The underlying logic of the wealth effect: from blindly chasing cheap coins to relying on a platform’s “product selection power”
In Q1 this year, the crypto market entered a “re-pricing” phase. As ordinary people try to capture Alpha returns, they’re increasingly relying on the platform’s instincts. HTX launched nearly half of its new projects in this quarter, including assets like ELSA that surged more than 6 times. In addition to fee discounts on the spot side, the platform’s fundamentals in uncovering high-quality assets are indeed strengthening—and that’s also the core for retaining high-net-worth users.
3/ Breaking the wall between dimensions: the integration of crypto assets and TradFi
What surprised me is the expansion of trading boundaries. Now in HTX’s contracts section, besides mainstream crypto assets, you can directly trade gold, crude oil, and even US stock indices. Combined with continuously iterated smart copy trading and earn-coin products with highly competitive annualized returns (for example, the USDT current-account ladder), it is no longer just a simple “crypto trading app,” but more like a one-stop, global financial terminal.
4/ Embracing technology: AI isn’t just hype—it’s a tool
Many platforms are talking about AI, but the AI assistant that HTX launched in Q1 truly helped me filter out plenty of noise through deep calculation and decision support. Plus, with Web3-side direct integration—such as on-chain USDe wealth management—the platform is lowering the entry barrier for users through technology, while also returning more governance power to the community through HTX DAO.
In 2026’s crypto track, it’s about long-term compliance, asset quality, and building the ecosystem together. HTX’s performance this quarter proves that only by being a steadfast industry builder can value be continuously realized through market cycles. As one of 1/5900万, I look forward to seeing its deeper evolution in Q2.
