(Panama, November 19, 2025) 2025 was a decisive year for HTX DAO, the year its strategic blueprint turned into concrete results and its value cycle began to take shape.
HTX DAO has systematically broken the limitations of traditional DAOs and completed the initial construction of a “financial free port”. Accelerating deflation and maturing on-chain governance both deeply support the long-term value strategy of “sustainability and verifiability.”
HTX DAO demonstrates a vibrant, user-centric, mechanism-driven DAO ecosystem to the global community.
A breakthrough in both value and scale
In 2025, HTX DAO delivered breakthrough performance across key metrics, demonstrating strong resilience and strong community cohesion. These results also reflect the positive market reception of the financial free port strategy.
● Market capitalization and global presence: $HTX’s market capitalization reached $1.841 billion and was listed on 28 crypto exchanges, solidifying its position among the world’s mainstream assets.
● Subscriptions skyrocket: Dollar HTX’s revenue-generating product subscriptions total more than $9 billion, an annual increase of more than 90%, and nearly 500,000 participants. This reflects growing confidence in long-term $HTX returns.
● User rewards: The total user reward payments exceeded $30 million, an increase of 30% year-on-year, providing substantial and sustainable value to holders and maturing community co-prosperity.
● Expanding holder base: Global $HTX holders increased by 16.6% to 849,900 people, demonstrating an improved community base and expanded ecosystem coverage.
●Acceleration of deflation: From the first quarter to the third quarter of 2025, HTX DAO consumed $36.22 trillion HTX, accounting for 42.2% of the total consumption. Continuous fires further increase rarity and long-term value.
HTX DAO has not only expanded its market footprint, but also achieved a qualitative leap in asset retention and user value distribution. Growth is no longer driven solely by the user base, but by mechanisms to lock in real profits and quality capital, moving steadily towards the vision of building a financial free port.
Institutionalized deflation: Building scarcity into governance
This year, HTX DAO resolutely executed its burn plan. In any cryptoeconomy, writing a token is not just a technical act, but also an economic signal. HTX DAO written data is a concrete representation of community consensus.
By Q3 2025, HTX DAO will have cumulatively consumed $85.88 trillion in HTX, which is approximately $163 million. The most recent writes alone exceeded 13.12 trillion tokens, making it one of the largest write events in DAO history.
Deflation efficiency is rapidly accelerating, from 0.78% in Q2 2024 to 1.39% in Q3 2025, with an average growth rate of 33%. $HTX supply contraction is currently entering a phase of steady acceleration.
Unlike traditional projects where deflation relies on team discretion, HTX DAO built deflation into the governance structure, transforming burn from a passive decision to a form of long-term autonomous agreement.
In July, HTX DAO updated its whitepaper and moved its economic model from a liquidity collateral mechanism to a burn-based model. This evolution elevates deflation from a monetary adjustment tool to a structural value filter at the governance level.
For HTX DAO, token burning is no longer a one-time or uncertain event, but a sustainable process, representing a rare model of financial autonomy in Web3 where value is consistently returned to the community.
First realization of “people-to-people exchanges”: From voting rights to economic sovereignty
2025 was the year that HTX DAO governance actually took effect.
On June 30th, DAO’s on-chain token list system was officially launched, marking a significant transition from community discussion to on-chain execution. Its importance rivals a Bretton Woods-level moment in DAO governance. The community not only gained the right to vote, but also the right to decide on the allocation of resources. Specifically, community voting now directly determines the list of trading pairs and the allocation of liquidity incentives. This completes the structural transition of economic sovereignty from centralization to token holders.
Since launch, over $1,191.6 billion HTX has been cast in on-chain voting, with a value of over $3 million, and 6 tokens have been successfully promoted and listed on the HTX Exchange. This governance activity had a measurable market impact, with the $HTX price surging 44.3% at its monthly peak, adding over 12,000 new holding addresses, and increasing TVL by $42 million.
These achievements represent the first wave of positive feedback after the People’s Exchange mechanism went live.
The breakthrough lies in the fact that for the first time, HTX DAO truly returns listing decision power to the community and supports $HTX value. By leveraging community consensus to identify trending project tokens, HTX DAO enhances market depth and fee income for HTX exchanges. 50% of this revenue will be used to buy back and burn $HTX, thereby creating continued deflation and sustained value support.
This cycle of “vote, list, trade, distribute, write/redistribute” creates a decentralized paradigm where DAO governance maps directly to market efficiency, giving real economic meaning to the People’s Exchange vision.
HTX DAO is currently implementing a Listing Governance 2.0 initiative that directly integrates on-chain voting with HTX’s voting system to maximize participant participation. Further incentives such as “voting subsidies” are being considered to attract broader governance participation.
The second evolution of HTX DAO: Building a consistent on-chain financial system
In 2025, HTX DAO began its transformation from a decentralized autonomous organization to a full-fledged, autonomous, and scalable on-chain financial infrastructure.
The updated whitepaper clarifies the evolution of $HTX in three directions: governance credentials, yield credentials, and write mechanisms. This not only marks a systematic upgrade of HTX DAO’s economic model, but also a pivot towards anchoring long-term value in real-world use cases and on-chain strategic interests.
$HTX has evolved from just a governance token to a financial hub asset that integrates trading, incentives, governance, and cross-chain integration. Key modules include:
● Staking: Establish value lock-in with quantifiable governance rewards.
● Voting: Align decision-making authority with dynamic incentives.
● Point system: Map user behavior to measurable contribution values.
● Finance: Handles the inflow, allocation, and reclamation of funds, giving HTX DAO long-term financial sustainability.
Importantly, HTX DAO is expanding beyond internal governance and launching a builder ecosystem.
In September, DAO launched a global developer program to support builders with access to resources, applications, and governance. The program focuses on integrating CeFi and DeFi, promoting interoperability of decentralized exchanges and on-chain applications.
Through these efforts, HTX DAO transforms on-chain governance into economic infrastructure, injecting sustainable autonomy and growth momentum into the $HTX ecosystem.
Anchoring the Global Hub: Web3 World Tour of HTX DAO
HTX DAO’s vision is not limited to blockchain, but also impacts the physical world.
In 2025, HTX DAO has appeared across the world’s most influential Web3 stages, bringing decentralization from code to culture. From the Hong Kong Web3 Conference and HTX DAO x TRON Hong Kong Night, to CIS’s Blockchain Forum, HTX DAO Dubai Night and Istanbul Blockchain Week, to Bitcoin 2025 and TOKEN2049 Singapore Afterparty, HTX DAO participated in almost every important Web3 conference this year.
On these global stages, HTX DAO demonstrated its ability to create self-sustaining loops across governance, assets, and ecosystem collaboration, attracting builders around the world to an open, user-driven financial system.
This organic, bottom-up model positions HTX DAO as a global movement towards decentralization. The world is watching as a truly user-driven financial and governance ecosystem takes shape on blockchain.
Toward a sustainable cycle of autonomy and growth
The information released by HTX DAO outlines its next phase, a roadmap centered around continued evolution.
1. Name governance as the new normal.
HTX DAO will continue to optimize its voting system and establish a consistent listing routine where the results will directly shape HTX Exchange’s listing strategy and resource allocation. This enables a dynamic, collaborative model where “the community truly leads the market.”
2. Expanding DeFi integration
With staking and governance already in place, HTX DAO extends the utility of $HTX across DeFi by deploying on-chain earns, staking yield aggregators, and other modules that form a visible user-driven growth cycle.
3. Building a developer ecosystem
DAO is preparing HTX Builder Grants and a global hackathon program to support builders with a focus on governance and data tools, liquidity/market-making infrastructure, risk management and trade analysis systems, mobile wallets, AI-driven trading, and DeFi solutions.
HTX DAO aims to enable more builders to directly participate in co-building on-chain infrastructure and governance mechanisms through funding, co-promotion, and ecosystem incubation.
4. CeFi and DeFi integration
By leveraging the HTX exchange as an entry point, DAO creates seamless interoperability. There, accounts become governance identities, assets become credentials, and all economic flows are verifiable on-chain.
HTX DAO aims to blend the security and liquidity of CeFi with the openness and transparency of DeFi to create an integrated financial super gateway. It’s not just about improving autonomous systems, it’s about building free financial ports where users share governance, values and trust.
In an era where trust is being rewritten by algorithms and power is shifted by the right to vote, the HTX DAO illustrates the profound truth that autonomy is not the destruction of order, but the rebirth of order.
From the exchange infrastructure to the financial architecture, HTX DAO is moving toward a future where everyone can participate, validate, and benefit.
This is the future that could be the ultimate destination for Web3.
