SINGAPORE, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — HTX Ventures, the global investment division of HTX, shared insightful perspectives on the transforming crypto investment landscape. Edward, Managing Partner of HTX Ventures, explored how crypto exchanges are transforming to meet investor needs, manage risks in volatile markets, and capitalize on emerging trends.  

Empowering Private Investors Through Diversification and Education
The panel first focused on how exchanges are empowering private investors to adapt to evolving market conditions by providing diversified asset offerings and extensive educational resources. Edward emphasized that technological advancements, such as blockchain innovations and new assets like BRC-20 tokens and Solana-based assets, are creating unprecedented opportunities for portfolio diversification. 

Edward also highlighted that HTX Ventures is offering early access to new and promising projects, allowing private investors to participate in growth opportunities from the ground up. “Exchanges aren’t just trading platforms anymore,” he said. “We’re becoming strategic partners to investors by offering a wide range of assets, providing detailed market research, and ensuring they can make informed decisions.”  

Edward commented that HTX Ventures prioritizes investor education, particularly in areas like risk management, platform security, and compliance. He pointed out common investor mistakes, such as neglecting security measures like two-factor authentication (2FA) or failing for phishing scams. HTX Ventures addresses these pitfalls by providing comprehensive educational resources, tutorials, and responsive customer support. 

Managing Risks and Liquidity in a Volatile Market
Managing risk in a volatile crypto market was another key point of discussion. Edward mentioned that liquidity is paramount for both large and small investors, particularly during periods of heightened market volatility. Exchanges like HTX manage liquidity by maintaining deep order books, employing algorithmic trading, and utilizing price stability mechanisms, ensuring that trades can be executed smoothly across different market conditions.

“Maintaining liquidity is paramount in this space,” Edward explained. “For smaller investors, the risks are often higher when dealing with less liquid assets. That’s why we provide tools like stop-loss orders, portfolio tracking, and algorithmic risk management to help mitigate these risks and protect them during market swings.” 

The panel also discussed how exchanges are educating smaller investors on understanding market depth and liquidity management, which promotes informed decision-making in a highly volatile environment. Such initiatives are crucial as the crypto market continues to attract a broader range of participants, many of whom are new to the space. 

The Future Role of Exchanges in a Decentralized Era
Looking ahead, the role of exchanges in the era of Web 3.0 and decentralized finance (DeFi) was a key talking point. Edward outlined HTX’s vision of integrating decentralized elements into their platform, advancing beyond traditional trade execution to becoming comprehensive hubs for DeFi-related services. 

“Exchanges are evolving into multi-functional platforms offering everything from lending and liquidity mining to tokenized asset trading,” Edward said. He predicted that as the Web 3.0 landscape develops, exchanges will serve as essential gateways for private investors to access decentralized ecosystems, allowing them to participate in services like decentralized identity verification, data privacy protection, and direct access to DeFi protocols. 

Edward further emphasized that regulatory compliance will remain a core focus, especially as more private investors seek safe, regulated environments for their crypto activities. By continually enhancing compliance processes – such as robust KYC and AML measures – while expanding DeFi capabilities, HTX aims to build a secure, transparent, and innovative ecosystem for private investors, positioning itself at the forefront of the next phase in the crypto revolution.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — HTX Ventures, the global investment division of HTX, today unveils its latest research on crypto and its impact on the much anticipated U.S. presidential election. This marks the first time that crypto has become a key issue in a U.S. election, and the report, titled 2024 U.S. Election For Crypto: A Potential Turning Point from Tight Regulation and Ban to Support and Innovation, aims to discuss the reasons behind it and analyze what crypto will potentially look like after the election.

Both presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, have leveraged crypto in their campaigns to garner support from the crypto community. As the report suggests, there are four reasons that crypto has come to the center of the stage.

First of all, crypto is becoming more important to the U.S. On the one hand, no matter which candidate wins, the U.S. deficit and debt burdens are likely to go worse, and “as a decentralized and scarce asset, Bitcoin can serve as an effective tool for governments and investors to hedge against inflation and risk. In particular, it holds potential strategic significance in the face of debt and inflation pressures,” the report points out. On the other hand, stablecoins can help expand the international influence of the U.S. dollar. The growing significance leads to the second reason that the voters are more and more interested in crypto.

Thirdly, as the Biden administration implemented tight regulation on crypto, the industry now calls for a new regulatory framework which is more relaxed.

Lastly, crypto companies have become the main contributors to political donations in 2024. The report indicates that, “these funds not only influence presidential candidates’ policies but also push for congressional election strategies in favor of cryptocurrency. As a result, the crypto industry has moved from behind the scenes into the public eye, becoming a vital force in U.S. politics.”

The report then compared the two candidates’ crypto policies. Harris is expected to be more crypto-friendly than Biden. However, she has made limited statements on crypto policies, and is cautious on key issues like taxation, Bitcoin mining, and self-custody.

Trump, on the other hand, has shown strong interest in the digital asset industry, claiming that he aims to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet and the Bitcoin superpower of the world”. He has proposed a series of crypto policy proposals, including creating a strategic Bitcoin stockpile, establishing a crypto Presidential Advisory Council, and barring the Federal Reserve from issuing a digital currency. The report anticipates that, should Trump win, there will be a clearer and more relaxed regulatory environment that benefits crypto startups and DeFi. Meanwhile, as Trump has promised to substantially lower U.S. interest rates if he is re-elected, the prices of crypto assets may be driven up thanks to increased liquidity.

The report also discusses the emergence of on-chain prediction markets. Compared to the centralized betting providers, they utilize smart contracts and decentralized ledgers to create transparent global markets, ensuring that these platforms are fair and tamper-proof.

Polymarket is the most successful platform in the sector, which secured 80% of the volume brought on by wagers on the U.S. presidential election. It has been adopted by multiple mainstream media outlets as an alternative news source. As a Web3 prediction market, Polymarket has surpassed its Web2 competitors and holds the largest market share, which is extremely rare. “Prediction markets’ impact has extended into various fields such as public opinion, financial hedging, and business decision-making,” the report states.
