In the current market where trends in the cryptocurrency market continually switch, users' demands for the breadth of asset allocation and the efficiency of fund utilization are increasing. Whether one can seize market opportunities in real-time, and whether products, returns, and services can be solidly implemented in sync, are the most direct standards for users to evaluate a trading platform at this stage. In July 2026, Huobi HTX, adhering to the principle of putting users first, actively made efforts in dimensions such as asset expansion, trading tools, revenue products, event operations, and ecological construction, resulting in a 15% month-on-month growth in newly registered users, delivering a multi-faceted monthly performance report.

Expansion of TradFi territory, trading volume continues to rise

In this month, Huobi's contract asset matrix continued to expand, launching 56 new assets, of which 51 are popular stock contracts. The asset layout closely revolves around four high-heat tracks: commodities, precious metals, AI chips, and storage, selecting the core targets with the highest market attention, while taking into account growth potential and robust defensive attributes. Among these, AI and semiconductors became the strongest main line in July, with core storage and computing targets like SK Hynix (SKHYNIX, SKHY), Micron Technology (MU), and SanDisk (SNDK) being listed one after another, helping users flexibly capture market trends. Currently, the TradFi assets supported by the platform have reached 170 varieties, covering a wide range of targets including U.S. stocks, ETFs, and Pre-IPO, maintaining a leading level in the industry in terms of coverage of U.S. stocks. Users do not need to switch platforms to participate in global core asset trading opportunities in a one-stop manner on Huobi HTX.

While the asset matrix was enhanced, the trading experience continued to optimize. In July, Huobi's contracts completed deep adaptation for TradFi, optimizing index sources and funding rate mechanisms to make the pricing of stock contracts more aligned with the real market; on the web platform, a dedicated navigation for TradFi was launched, making it more convenient for users to find stock targets. Furthermore, the Rebase feature for stock contracts is expected to launch in the third quarter of this year, further upgrading the trading experience.

As a result, trading volume soared. By the end of July, the TradFi section of Huobi HTX reached a historic peak in daily trading volume, increasing over tenfold compared to June's daily average, with a cumulative trading volume of approximately 2.5 billion U.S. dollars.

In addition to continuously refining the TradFi contract trading business, Huobi HTX is making larger layouts around the integration of traditional finance and the cryptocurrency market. Against the backdrop where RWA, especially stock tokenization, is gradually becoming an important development direction for the global digital asset industry, Huobi HTX continues to pay attention to international regulatory dynamics, studying the regulatory framework and compliance paths for related businesses, preparing for future product innovation and internationalization.

Copy trading and strategy robots grow against the trend, mobile grid officially launched

Although the overall cryptocurrency market is currently under pressure, two automated trading services of Huobi Contracts achieved contrary growth: copy trading volume surged 184% month-on-month in July, while contract strategy robots saw a 9% month-on-month increase, and the platform's average daily position amount grew by 7%.

The growth in copy trading came from the sedimentation of the trader ecosystem. The platform continuously optimizes the ranking mechanism, constantly attracting and consolidating quality traders, steadily expanding the size of the trader team, and providing users with richer and more professional copy trading options, enhancing the copy trading returns experience and user trust simultaneously.

In terms of strategy tools, the mobile grid was officially launched in July, allowing grid ranges to adjust dynamically with market fluctuations, helping users to more intelligently capture volatility returns in fluctuating markets. The initial order placing mechanism for contract grids was upgraded to a limit price slippage order, effectively compressing slippage losses caused by market fluctuations during order placement, thus improving the performance of long-term running grid strategies.

Multiple optimizations of the trading experience have also been implemented in high-frequency operational scenarios for users: when opening both long and short positions for the same trading pair, one-click closing is supported, and operations can be completed in one go when the market changes rapidly; risk control models and triggering rules are simultaneously optimized, further enhancing protection against extreme market conditions; the newly launched contract activity center consolidates various contract activity entry points onto the same page, eliminating the need for users to jump back and forth between multiple entry points.

Income generation subscription amount exceeds 290 million U.S. dollars, lending system fully strengthened

Asset utilization efficiency is one of the most concerned issues for long-term holding users. In July, nearly 28,000 users subscribed to Huobi's income generation, with a subscription amount exceeding 290 million U.S. dollars. Stablecoins remain the most popular choice, with USDT, USDD, and USDC flexible products attracting more than 20,000 participants with their consistently leading yield advantage, with subscriptions approaching 250 million U.S. dollars. For Prime 5 and above large clients, BTC VIP flexible products were launched with an annualized yield of up to 1%. In addition to the previously launched USDT VIP flexible product, large clients now have more choices for long-term asset allocation.

Lending services have introduced innovative features. The margin swap trading on the TRX chain's energy arbitrage path allows users to pledge BTC, ETH, or USDT to borrow TRX, investing in Tron Stake 2.0 to obtain and lease energy, thus achieving high annualized returns; during the same period, limited-time low-interest lending was introduced for popular coins like XAUT, HYPE, ONDO, and AAVE, further reducing financing costs for holders. On the institutional side, Huobi's liquidity enhancement plan continues to provide large lending services for leading global market makers and institutional clients, supporting multiple currencies like TRX and USDT, and offering customized solutions for ultra-large clients, including higher collateral ratios and more flexible liquidation mechanisms.

On the C2C front, Huobi's selected station completed various advertisement label upgrades in July, optimizing the display logic of advertisement information, allowing users to quickly identify quality trading resources, continuously improving deposit and withdrawal efficiency and experience.

Online and offline fun World Cup, SVIP journey reshaping service experience

The 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico was the most globally focused event in July. Around this hotspot, Huobi HTX launched a World Cup prediction activity with a total prize pool of 500,000 USDT, including champion predictions, match outcomes, and total goals, providing global users with another layer of enjoyment beyond watching the matches. The event attracted nearly 13,000 users to register, with players casting over 180,000 prediction votes, driving nearly 170 million U.S. dollars in trading volume.

In addition to the online prediction activities, Huobi HTX also brought SVIP clients to the World Cup venue. To thank core clients for their long-standing companionship and support, Huobi HTX specially created an exclusive deep travel experience during the World Cup quarterfinals, offering VIP boxes at the stadium, customized itineraries, and other exclusive privileges, allowing SVIP clients to immerse themselves in the excitement of the World Cup on site.

Genesis Hackathon concludes successfully, $HTX application scenarios continue to expand

In July, the Genesis Hackathon co-hosted by HTX DAO and B.AI successfully concluded. As an important part of the HTX DAO Genesis Program, this hackathon focused on the AI × Web3 track, attracting over 200 developer teams to sign up and participate, exploring quality projects across AI Agent, AI trading, AI payments, AI wallets, DeFi and other directions, connecting global developers, investment institutions, and ecological partners to continuously improve the innovation ecosystem of HTX DAO.

In the same month, Huobi HTX launched the first phase of the TradFi trading mining activity. Users can not only conduct TradFi contract trading at negative rates, but the fees generated will be fully used for the buyback and destruction of $HTX, supporting the long-term value stability of $HTX. The first phase activity's trading volume exceeded 63 million USDT, returning over 1.8 billion $HTX in fees to users. Currently, the second phase of the TradFi trading mining activity is in full swing.

The 13th anniversary is approaching, more surprises are on the way

Next, Huobi HTX is about to celebrate its 13th anniversary, with many exciting activities on the way to reward new and old users for their trust and support for the platform.
