HTX releases Q3 2025 report: Trading volume increased by 25%, and the number of $HTX units destroyed

Following the strong increase earlier this year, the cryptocurrency market entered a period of stability in the third quarter. This was due to the delay in the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cuts, along with general price corrections in Bitcoin and other major assets. Despite the challenging macro environment, HTX continued to experience steady growth in terms of trading volume, user acquisition, new asset listings, brand awareness, and security measures. It once again became a highlight of this exchange.

Trading volume, assets, and natural traffic all increased steadily.

In the third quarter of 2025, HTX’s total trading volume increased by 25% compared to the previous quarter, while the number of new registered users also increased by 13%. The platform’s user base reached a new high. HTX users’ total assets amounted to $6.87 billion, an increase of 6.4% compared to the previous quarter. This further solidified HTX’s position as a leading exchange worldwide.

Metrics related to traffic also reflect the platform’s growing influence: the total number of display visits increased by 7%, reaching 13 million; page views increased by 37%, reaching 46 million; and the number of unique visitors increased by 43%, reaching 19 million. The continuous growth in natural traffic highlights HTX’s expanding global influence and user engagement.

High-quality new assets have become a valuable asset for investors, with the quarterly destruction volume of $HTX reaching a record high.

In the third quarter, HTX saw significant progress with the launch of 39 high-quality projects. These include popular projects such as TREE, CAMP, WLFI, HOLO, LINEA, AVNT, ASTER, 0G, XPL, and FF. Many of these projects have brought substantial returns to early investors. Investments in projects like AVNT, ASTER, 0G, and XPL nearly doubled. Among them, ASTER achieved remarkable growth—its trading volume soared by 400% after launch, making it the most successful project of the quarter. The excellent project AVNT, part of the Base ecosystem, even experienced a tripling of its value. WLFI, a DeFi project backed by the Trump family, also attracted widespread attention from the market. HTX continues to attract valuable assets, further solidifying its position as a platform for launching new opportunities and a preferred place for early token launches.

In terms of blockchain economics, HTX DAO officially announced on October 14 that it had completed the destruction of $HTX for the third quarter. A total of 13,119,801,941,748 units of $HTX were destroyed, worth over $27.03 million. This destruction rate increased by 11.19% compared to the previous quarter, setting a new record for the destruction mechanism since its implementation.

This provides developers with resources, visibility, and sustainable growth opportunities.

Marketing activities and brand building are also being carried out to enhance global influence.

At the Vietnam General Motors conference, more than 1,300 users registered on-site, setting a strong foundation for this quarter. During the TOKEN2049 Singapore event and related parties, the brand exposure of HTX DAO and HTX Ventures reached a total of 254 million times, reaching over 3,100 customers and 800 industry professionals. The “Flame”-themed event commemorating the platform’s 12th anniversary was particularly impressive.
