On August 12, 2026, HTX released its July performance report, showcasing a 15% month-over-month increase in new registered users and significant milestones across trading, earning, and ecosystem initiatives. The standout development was the rapid expansion of the TradFi zone, where 56 new futures listings—including 51 stock contracts in commodities, precious metals, AI chips, and memory—pushed daily trading volume to an all‑time high, surging over 10× compared to June and accumulating approximately $2.5 billion in total TradFi volume for the month.
Automated trading also defied a sluggish crypto market: copy trading volume soared 184% month-over-month, while futures trading bot volume grew 9%. The newly launched Trailing Grid feature dynamically adjusts grid intervals, and an upgrade to limit‑order execution for futures grids reduces slippage. Additionally, the platform introduced a one‑click close for dual‑direction positions and strengthened risk controls against negative balances in extreme conditions.
HTX Earn recorded nearly 28,000 participants with subscriptions exceeding $290 million, led by stablecoin products. A BTC VIP Flexible Earn product at 1% APY was introduced for high‑tier clients. Lending innovations included a TRX on‑chain energy arbitrage mechanism—users stake BTC, ETH, or USDT to borrow TRX, deposit it into TRON Stake 2.0, and lease energy for yield—and low‑interest loans for XAUT, HYPE, ONDO, and AAVE.
Engagement was further boosted by a World Cup prediction campaign with a 500,000 USDT prize pool and an exclusive SVIP quarter‑final experience. The Genesis Hackathon, co‑hosted by HTX DAO, focused on AI–Web3 projects, while the first TradFi “Trade to Earn” event routed 100% of trading fees into $HTX buyback and burn. The inaugural round generated over 63 million USDT in volume and returned more than 1.8 billion $HTX to users, strengthening the token’s long‑term value.
