HTX Achieves 100% YoY Trading Volume Growth to $2.4 Trillion in 2024, Powers User Growth to Over 49 Million
Embracing a New Era of Crypto Growth with Enhanced Security, Premium Listings, and Global Expansion in 2025
SINGAPORE, Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HTX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, today released its annual report, “Embracing Global Growth with Innovation and Trust,” detailing its significant achievements in 2024 and outlining its ambitious roadmap for the year ahead.

2024: A Year of Explosive Growth Across Multiple Fronts
In 2024, HTX demonstrated remarkable progress across key areas, including user acquisition, trading volume, product innovation, compliance, and ecosystem development. This success was driven by cutting-edge offerings, excellent services, and a robust global strategy.
- Key Metrics Show Accelerated Growth Through Innovative Events
HTX’s performance metrics reveal unparalleled momentum. The platform welcomed 3 million new registered users in 2024, bringing its total user base to over 49 million. Trading volume surged, reaching nearly $2.4 trillion, marking a 100% year-over-year increase with consistent monthly growth. User assets also saw significant growth, with a net capital inflow of $1 billion, bringing the total to $5 billion—a robust 80% increase compared to early 2024.
These achievements can be attributed to the success of HTX’s innovative events, such as Launchpool, Trade to Earn, Earn with Pending Orders, Borrow & Earn, SmartEarn, and the 11th Anniversary Series. These events fostered unprecedented engagement, trading volume, and rewards offered to participants.
Over the past year, community members actively participated in HTX DAO, casting over 350,000 votes. Based on the governance proposals passed by HTX DAO, HTX introduced new models such as “Multiple Staking Rewards” to enhance the value of $HTX. These models further strengthened the competitiveness of the $HTX token. Data shows that thanks to mechanisms such as Liquidity Pledge and Token Burns, the total number of users holding $HTX on the HTX exchange reached over 720,000. Moreover, the amount held by large holders increased by 268%, with the number of large holders possessing over 100,000 USDT experiencing a 110% increase.
- Spotlight on Emerging Trends and Early Opportunities
Leveraging its market insights, HTX listed 218 high-quality assets in 2024, including WIF, BOME, ONDO, and ENA, across diverse hot sectors including DePIN, RWA, and meme coins. Notably, 171 of these assets were initially listed on HTX.
SUNDOG, the best-performing coin within the SunPump ecosystem, experienced a remarkable 37-fold growth after its listing, becoming a key driver of SunPump’s success. Recognizing the importance of identifying and capitalizing on emerging opportunities, HTX promptly launched the Crypto Gem Hunt to help users discover and capitalize on potential wealth-generating assets.
- Commitment to Security and Regulatory Compliance
HTX made significant strides in global compliance, including applying for Europe’s MiCA licenses and pursuing regulatory approvals in Dubai (VARA’s FMP license) and Bahrain for custody, brokerage, and exchange operations.
To ensure asset transparency, the exchange consistently delivered Proof of Reserves by Merkle Tree Verification for 12 consecutive months, maintaining over 100% reserve ratios across eight assets.
- Towards Long-Term Development Through Ecosystem Cooperation
HTX Ventures, the global investment arm of HTX, invested in 28 leading projects in 2024, spanning diverse sectors such as BTCFi, ZK-rollups, modular infrastructure, AI, SocialFi, and more. Furthermore, HTX fostered strategic collaborations with leading venture capital firms, including Bankless and Figment, to jointly promote the sustained growth and development of the crypto industry.
- Promotion of Brand Image to Facilitate Global Reach
Throughout 2024, HTX consistently made a strong impression at top crypto summits worldwide, such as TOKEN2049 and Blockchain Life, hosting 19 brand events and receiving 4 industry awards. Notably, the host of Crypto Summit 2024 revealed at the opening ceremony that HTX holds an 11% market share, ranking third in the CIS region, solidifying its position as a key player in the market.
2025: Seizing Opportunities in a New Crypto Era
HTX’s 2025 vision aligns with anticipated industry tailwinds, including potential shifts in the U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest policies and the evolving global regulatory landscape. The exchange plans to:
1. Expand premium listings.
2. Enhance product offerings and user experience through innovation.
3. Strengthen security measures and global operations models.
4. Support decentralized governance and foster global crypto prosperity.
5. Cement HTX’s influence, particularly in high-potential regions like the CIS.
2025 will be a pivotal year for HTX to seize emerging industry opportunities. As a well-established digital asset trading platform with a proven track record of industry building, and a strong user-centric focus, HTX is confident to deliver exceptional services for its global user base and advance toward its vision of “Achieving Financial Freedom for 8 Billion People on Earth”.

DUBAI, UAE, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, now offers API access for its On-Chain Earn and Flexible Savings products. Expansion to other Earn product types is currently in progress. Full technical specifications and integration instructions are available in the official API documentation.
This new integration gives institutional users and developers the ability to connect directly with Bybit’s infrastructure, enabling efficient, automated, and scalable management of their yield-generating strategies.
Bybit’s On-Chain Earn products allows users to earn rewards by participating in blockchain-based (or “on-chain”) financial opportunities such as staking and liquidity protocols. These products provide users with a DeFi-like experience by enabling interaction with smart contracts on public blockchains without the need for technical expertise. Staking in the crypto world often demands significant technical know-how and dedicated hardware, making it inaccessible for many. Bybit’s On-Chain Earn removes these barriers by handling the complexities behind the scenes — including gas fees, node operations, and reward distribution — so users can stake with ease and confidence.
An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a tool that allows different software systems to communicate. Bybit’s API allows developers and institutional users to programmatically access On-Chain Earn and Flexible Savings functions through their own platforms, enhancing customization and operational control.
“Bridging centralized access with decentralized opportunity is one of our core missions,” said Jerry Li, Head of Earn & Wealth Management at Bybit. “With API support for On-Chain Earn, we’re giving power users the infrastructure they need to build, manage, and fine-tune strategies with the speed and precision the market demands.”
The API offers structured access to key functions, including:
- An overview of currently available On-Chain Earn products, with filters by token and product category (LST, non-LST, or Mint),
- Detailed product data such as estimated APYs, staking terms, redemption timelines, minimum and maximum limits, exchange rates, and reward distribution mechanisms,
- Historical and real-time tracking of staking and redemption,
- Summaries of current positions and accrued rewards,
- Programmatic access to eligible Earn products for subscription and redemption, tailored to each supported mechanism.
This release marks a key step in Bybit’s continued efforts to support advanced users with infrastructure that connects centralized tools to decentralized finance opportunities.

BTC Pricing Alert: Bitcoin Rebounds as Trump’s Trade War Comments Ignite Market Rally – Bybit x Block Scholes Report
DUBAI, UAE, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest weekly crypto derivatives analytics report in partnership with Block Scholes. The report highlights a shift in market sentiment following upbeat remarks from US President Trump on trade negotiations with China, which coincided with a broad rally in both crypto and equity markets.
Earlier last week, Bitcoin showed signs of decoupling from US equities. Following the announcement of a 145% tariff on Chinese goods and comments from Trump, BTC climbed by more than 7% from April 21, 2025, alongside broader risk assets. Short-tenor implied volatility rose, and put-call skew turned upward by 5%, indicating that traders had been positioning for further gains at the time.
Key Highlights:
Perpetual open interest rises across tokens
Perpetual futures open interest climbed significantly by 20% last week, particularly for ETH. Trading volumes also increased, with April 7, 2025 recording the highest daily volume for the month. The spike followed Trump’s comment: “Forget markets for a second, we have all the advantages.”
BTC option open interest shows a mixed picture; put-call skew in short tenor sends positive signals
President Trump’s recent willingness to negotiate a trade deal with China’s President Xi triggered a relief rally across asset classes, including crypto. Bitcoin had already risen 7% since Apr 21, 2025 prior to Trump’s comments. Despite this rally, open interest in puts has outpaced calls, with options volume remaining relatively balanced.
It’s unclear if the demand for puts reflects a hedge against downside risks, or a bet against the upward movement. Meanwhile, perpetual funding rates are providing limited insight into sentiment. However, the recovery of the put-call skew at short tenors indicates that traders are seeking upside exposure to the rally — and are willing to pay for it.
ETH outperforms BTC by 1% in the past week, signals rebound expectations
ETH led last week’s rally in spot markets — a rare occurrence in past relief rallies. Options data shows ETH calls nearly double puts in open interest, with calls also dominating volume. This suggests traders expect ETH to close its recent performance gap with BTC and competing chains like SUI and SOL. ETH’s term structure also inverted again, reflecting expectations of near-term price action.
