Finding certainty in the fluctuations. The crypto market displayed a typical structural trend over the past week (April 20—April 26). While the volatility of mainstream assets tended to converge, on-chain funds clearly migrated towards high-elasticity tracks, driving the rotation rise of DeFi, GameFi, and Meme assets. According to data from the Huobi HTX platform, the DeFi track gained strength mid-week, with CHIP (+134%), SPK (+143%), and OPG (+147%) experiencing widespread increases; over the weekend, GameFi and NFTs continued the upward trend, with A2Z (+225%), ACE (+193%), and APE (+190%) performing notably, while the Meme asset DONKEY surged by +417%, leading the market.

DeFi became the main focus of the week, with CHIP, SPK, OPG all rising

The GameFi sector performed particularly well this week, especially during the weekend when a concentrated explosion occurred, with A2Z leading the track with a 225% increase. The NFT sector experienced a corrective rebound after previous adjustments, with APE rising by 190%, becoming a representative asset of the sector's warming sentiment.

A2Z (Arena-Z): Leading the track with a 225% weekly increase. Arena-Z redefines the Web3 gaming experience by providing a player-first infrastructure based on the OP Stack.

Meme sector sentiment explodes, DONKEY leads the market

Meme assets again demonstrated strong fund absorption capabilities this week. Meme trends often feature characteristics of "quick activation, high volatility, strong diffusion." Huobi HTX enables users to participate in trading high-potential assets in real-time through rapid capture of on-chain hotspots.

DONKEY: Leading the list with a weekly increase of 417%, becoming the most representative sentiment-driven asset of the week. It originated from CZ's post claiming to be a donkey (I am a donkey), generating this Meme on the BSC chain.

CLAWD (clawd.atg.eth): Weekly increase of 200%. CLAWD is a Meme coin that exploded in popularity in the crypto market surrounding the topic of "AI agent/AI bot" on the Solana chain.

Structural market continuity, Huobi HTX continues to explore potential quality assets

Overall, this week the market did not present a unified main line and still exhibited characteristics of multi-track rotation: driven mainly by DeFi during the week, with emotions amplified by GameFi and NFTs over the weekend. This dispersed, rhythm-shifting market environment places higher demands on the asset selection and listing capabilities of trading platforms.

As the market enters a new phase dominated by structural opportunities, the trend-based opportunities for single assets are decreasing, while the ability to identify cross-track and multi-dimensional opportunities will become key for traders to achieve excess returns. In the future, Huobi HTX will continue to delve deep into the discovery of quality assets globally, focusing on high growth potential, strong community foundation, and clear narrative logic, continuously providing users with high-potential quality targets.
