Outlook for 2024: Breaking the Shackles of Centralization for a People-Centered Exchange
As 2024 begins, the crypto market continues to surge ahead. There has been an observed enhancement in the overall economic situation and emerging innovations within the crypto sphere. These trends suggest an anticipation for the imminent arrival of a new bullish market cycle.
As HTX joins HTX DAO ecosystem builders and the crypto market picks up steam, in this new competitive cycle, HTX is set for a revival and to reintroduce itself to the market with a focus on liberating from constraints through “community governance” and “decentralization”. It has demonstrated a stronger competitive edge.
HTX’s anticipated strategies include:
Focusing on trending sectors for wealth creation: HTX will closely monitor the development in asset size and derivative products after the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs and regulatory policies across various countries. The approval not only signifies the regularization of Bitcoin investments but also presents vast opportunities for HTX to list and grow more assets. Therefore, the development of the BTC ecosystem remains a priority for HTX, particularly emerging protocols beyond BRC-20, such as BRC-420, ARC-20, and BTC L2 solutions (e.g., RGB smart contracts and BitVM). The progress and adoption of these technologies will further enrich the BTC ecosystem, heating the market in coordination with the upcoming halving event.
Meanwhile, HTX continues to be optimistic about Web3 projects combined with AI, as well as new models where purely AI projects incentivize data contribution through tokens. Integration AI with DeFi, storage solutions, and DePin is poised to introduce novel project concepts to the market. This not only attracts funds from the technology sector but also injects new vitality and potential into the crypto market.
Additionally, the Dencun Upgrade will bring revolutionary improvements to Ethereum, significantly reducing gas fees and further enhancing network processing capacity. This will profoundly impact the entire ETH ecosystem. Progresses such as Layer 2 sorters, parallel EVM development, and the application of ZK technology also make Ethereum more efficient and scalable. These advancements, while strengthening Ethereum, create new opportunities for investors and developers. Therefore, HTX will closely follow the market developments after the Dencun Upgrade and monitor the innovation and growth it brings to the ETH ecosystem.
In summary, in 2024, HTX will follow market trends, focus on popular sectors, and select high-quality projects to provide users with a diverse options for wealth creation.
Product Technology Innovation and Upgrades: With a focus on trading experience, HTX will continue to optimize its trading system, innovate system architectures, and enhance stability and throughput capacity to ensure security in trading. Meanwhile, it will improve copy trading products and enrich strategy trading tools to increase efficiency and convenience in futures trading. The platform will also continue to offer diverse, high-yield Earn products and conduct online/offline user education to help users better understand the market and products. Moreover, user experience will be enhanced from multiple aspects such as platform design and KOL empowerment, along with upgraded risk management models to ensure asset security.
多元化业务/活动拓展:HTX将继续利用火星计划扩大合作伙伴关系,同时优化活动规则,降低难度,为铸造火星NFT的用户提供更多奖励。

此外,HTX还将强化安全体系,有效应对潜在威胁,确保用户数字资产的安全可靠。
丰富的生态系统发展:HTX Ventures将继续致力于推进Web3基础设施和生态系统发展,以支持下一代Web3企业,并为HTX生态系统的发展做出贡献。
此外,HTX Research还将联合合作伙伴开展多维度的市场教育,促进Web2与Web3的融合。
