HTX Ventures: Striking a Balance between Compliance and Innovation in a Shifting Regulatory Landscape
SINGAPORE, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HTX, a leading crypto exchange, has been ranked as the “Top 3 Exchanges for EUR-Stablecoin Trading Activity” in a recent CoinDesk report titled “MiCAR: The Institutional Playbook for Europe’s Digital Asset Market“. The report explores key trends shaping the European digital asset market with the implementation of Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) and highlights that HTX achieved a monthly average EUR-stablecoin trading volume of €48 million, with a notable volume of €33 million in November 2024, ranking third following Binance and Coinbase.
This surge in EUR-denominated trading coincides with the regulatory shifts. Regulatory clarity has become a key driver of institutional adoption and market confidence. The full rollout of MiCAR represents a major milestone for the industry, offering a unified framework that spans across 27 European Union (EU) member states. While MiCAR streamlines compliance and fosters innovation, it also brings along complex challenges that exchanges must navigate. HTX Ventures explores both the opportunities and hurdles that come with this landmark regulation.
Alec Goh, Head of HTX Ventures, said, “The implementation of MiCAR is a major step in the right direction for the crypto industry, providing much-needed regulatory clarity and fostering an environment conducive to institutional adoption. As jurisdictions worldwide become more crypto-friendly, a united framework like MiCAR will accelerate innovation while ensuring robust compliance. At HTX Ventures, we see this as an opportunity to drive the development of on-chain compliance tools, support the emergence of compliant DeFi solutions, and bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital assets.”
Opportunities:
- Unified Regulatory Framework Reduces Costs and Boosts Market Confidence
MiCAR covers all 27 EU member states through a “single license” approach, enabling exchanges to significantly reduce compliance costs across borders. This unified regulatory framework provides a clear and stable regulatory environment for the market, increasing confidence and participation among institutional investors while positioning Europe to becoming the world’s largest compliant digital asset market. - Technological Innovations Drive On-Chain Compliance Tools
To meet MiCAR’s stringent anti-money laundering (AML) and reserve monitoring requirements, exchanges can actively explore compliance tool innovations, including:- Using oracle networks to modularize AML rules and reserve monitoring, executing them on-chain for real-time data transparency.
- Adopting zk-SNARKs to build an on-chain central platform for regulatory data, enabling transaction data desensitization to balance regulatory transparency with user privacy.
- Leveraging account abstraction technology (ERC-4337) to integrate KYC processes into non-custodial wallets, lowering barriers for traditional financial institutions to access DeFi.
- New Opportunities for the Convergence of Traditional and Crypto Assets
With platforms such as Coinbase launching securitized tokens, exchanges can introduce real-world asset (RWA) trading. This includes income-based stablecoins backed by US stocks or Treasuries, enabling users to leverage assets like USDT for multi-asset allocation and global liquidity matching.
Challenges:
- High Costs and Technical Complexity of Compliance
MiCAR imposes strict requirements on stablecoin issuers and Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASPs), including adequate reserves, regular audits, and robust anti-money laundering measures. Exchanges must invest significantly in R&D to integrate compliance tools, data desensitization techniques, and on-chain regulatory platforms without compromising market fluidity.
- Uncertainty in the Dynamic Policy Environment
With regulatory policies evolving rapidly, exchanges must establish multi-chain testing environments and collaborate with regulatory-friendly regions (e.g., Lithuania, Malta) for cross-border stress tests and regulatory scenario simulations. This requires continuous investment, with risks at the policy interpretation and implementation levels.
- Security Risks and Stringent Custody Requirements
Following high-profile incidents like FTX, MiCAR has introduced rigorous digital asset custody requirements, mandating bank-level security measures to prevent hacking and asset loss. As DeFi integrates with traditional financial regulations, exchanges must address both technical vulnerabilities and evolving security risks.
HTX Ventures firmly believes that under a clearer regulatory framework such as MiCAR, exchanges can achieve a win-win situation through technological innovations and global asset allocation, balancing compliance with market innovation. Moving forward, the firm will continue to leverage its insights and expertise to actively explore on-chain compliance tools, expand RWA trading, and build a dynamic testing environment, navigating regulatory complexities and ensuring that crypto innovation remains aligned with long-term institutional adoption and market sustainability.

MEXC Launches DEX+: One-Stop Platform For Seamless On-Chain and Off-Chain Trading
VICTORIA, Seychelles, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, announced the launch of DEX+, the market’s first innovative CEX and DEX hybrid product that provides a seamless, one-stop experience for both on-chain and off-chain trading. This development marks a significant milestone in the evolution of hybrid crypto trading platforms. DEX+ allows users to trade directly on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) through the MEXC app and website, offering access to a wide range of on-chain assets. The initial version of DEX+ will support the Solana ecosystem, enabling users to trade over 10,000 tokens available on Raydium and pump.fun, with future expansion to additional DEXs and blockchain networks.
DEX+ stands out by addressing many of the common pain points faced by users on traditional DEX platforms. Conventional DEX interfaces require users to navigate multi-step interactions with complex on-chain processes such as token approvals, transaction signings, and cryptocurrency swaps. MEXC’s DEX+ simplifies this process entirely. Users can transfer funds directly into their DEX+ account and execute buy and sell orders without dealing with intricate on-chain operations. This approach makes decentralized trading more accessible, especially for new crypto users.
“MEXC’s DEX+ bridges the gap between centralized efficiency and decentralized freedom. Despite the growing popularity of DEXs, the lack of user-friendly interfaces and high transaction fees remain a significant hindrance to widespread adoption. Through DEX+, MEXC aims to solve these issues by providing a familiar, CEX-like trading experience while retaining the benefits of accessing on-chain assets. Users can seamlessly switch between centralized exchange and DEX+ features,” said Tracy Jin, COO of MEXC.
MEXC is dedicated to offering a diverse range of accessible assets through its listing strategy and innovative products, all while ensuring top-tier security for its users. MEXC delivers comprehensive custodial wallet management for DEX+ users, ensuring security at an institutional level. Additionally, the platform offers Proof of Reserves, ensuring asset integrity and exceptional transparency. Users’ assets are backed 1:1, and customer fund compensation requirements are fully covered. This dual-layer protection ensures unmatched security for user assets.
Furthermore, MEXC announced its collaboration with GoPlus, an independent third-party security provider that inspects the safety of all trading pairs listed on the platform. This added measure boosts user confidence and transparency, allowing them to trade with greater assurance and peace of mind.
Moving forward, MEXC’s DEX+ is expected to play a pivotal role in the continued growth of DeFi and DEX ecosystems. As more users transition toward decentralized trading platforms, integrating CEX and DEX models will become increasingly important. With DEX+, MEXC strives to stand at the forefront of this innovative trend.
To celebrate the successful launch of DEX+, MEXC is pleased to announce its incentive program: new users completing trades of 100 USDT or more on the DEX+ platform will be eligible to receive a 20 USDT reward. For more details, please visit: https://www.mexc.com/dex-rewards.
