Strong release of new asset wealth effects: significant gains in hot assets, continuous activity on the platform

In terms of platform activities, Huobi HTX held two Launchpool events in the first quarter.

In terms of products, Huobi HTX continued to upgrade multiple product features, comprehensively enhancing user trading convenience and capital efficiency. The most significant upgrade was the renewal of the C2C trading model— the launch of the "High-Quality C2C Trading Zone" "Huobi Selected Station," which carefully selects zero-freeze merchants, offering the cheapest buying and safest selling of U, creating the most user-friendly C2C platform.

At the same time, the coin earning subscription page experience has been upgraded, with the coin earning account now supporting automatic subscription and redemption, and the USDT 1:1 subscription for USDD flexible coin earning feature launched, helping users manage assets flexibly and improve yield efficiency.

Balancing risk prevention and service to ensure user trading safety

At the same time, the platform's asset reserve ratio remained above 100% throughout the quarter, and regular reserve proof reports were published, bringing higher transparency to platform assets. Additionally, this quarter, the Merkle tree proof mechanism was upgraded, transitioning the PoR data storage from memory to TiDB storage. The overall asset accumulation of Huobi HTX showed significant growth, indicating a strong trend of net inflow of user assets. Users can access the "Assets - Reserve Proof Report" page on the Huobi HTX official website at any time to view the monthly updated reserve proof reports.

In terms of customer service, the Huobi HTX customer service team served over 100,000 users, efficiently handling over 200,000 inquiries, with a satisfaction rate of 81%.

With professional and meticulous service, the customer service team continues to enhance user experience and further strengthen platform stickiness.

In the first quarter of 2025, Huobi HTX achieved remarkable results in user growth, new asset performance, security assurance, product optimization, and brand building across multiple dimensions, laying a solid foundation for its annual goals.
