Huobi HTX New Asset Weekly Review (7.15-7.21): Ethereum Steadily Leads the Rise, Hotspot Rotation Sparks Wealth Effect

Huobi HTX New Asset Weekly Review

In the third week of July, the crypto market's hot spots continued to heat up, with trends shifting from mainstream coins to emerging assets and high-volatility sectors. Ethereum (ETH) regained its title as "the hottest mainstream asset" with a solid 23% increase. The newly listed and key assets on Huobi HTX continued to perform strongly, with multiple coins doubling in value within just a week, covering diverse sectors such as Meme, NFT, DeFi, social, and infrastructure, further confirming Huobi HTX's precise selection and layout capabilities for hot assets. Here are the highlights of quality assets this week:

Emerging Assets Lead the Charge, Wealth Effect Continues to Amplify

ANI (Ani Grok Companion) emerged as the weekly champion with a staggering 137% increase in just seven days. As a representative of the AI + Meme sector, this project incorporates the "gooning" meme and the Grok image related to xAI and Elon Musk, blending AI trends with community-driven creative culture. With spontaneous community enthusiasm, innovative gameplay, and short-cycle trading opportunities, it became one of the fastest-growing coins in terms of trading volume on the platform that week.

ELX (Elixir) recorded a 115% weekly increase as a representative of the DeFi narrative's resurgence. Elixir is a blockchain project focused on DeFi and liquidity solutions, aiming to provide efficient liquidity support for DEXs. Its protocol's TVL exceeds $300 million, and it has launched a synthetic dollar stablecoin called deUSD, which maintains stability through a "Delta-neutral strategy" and captures profits via funding rates.

DIA (Decentralized Information Asset), as an on-chain infrastructure token, also recorded a 115% weekly increase. DIA is a decentralized oracle platform focused on providing reliable data for DeFi applications and other blockchain applications. Its main functions include providing on-chain and off-chain market data, price information, and oracle services. Benefiting from the increased activity in Web3 development and expectations of application implementation, DIA's price performance has been positive.

Following last week's explosion of NFT concept assets, PENGU (Pudgy Penguins) performed strongly this week with a 111% increase. The Pudgy Penguins NFT series was initially deployed on the Ethereum chain in July 2021, including 8,888 unique penguin avatars, featuring complete IP characteristics and strong community attributes. Backed by digital IP and avatar community economic models, it demonstrates the renewed vitality of the NFT sector in the new cycle.

Infrastructure and Public Chain Sectors Active, L1 Market Heats Up

This week, multiple Layer 1 assets surged strongly, forming a structural rotation trend:

CFX (Conflux) saw a weekly increase of +104%: Conflux is a public Layer 1 blockchain designed to power decentralized applications (dApps), e-commerce, and Web 3.0 infrastructure with greater scalability, decentralization, and security than existing protocols. Conflux makes transferring valuable assets easier by enabling fast, efficient processes without network congestion and low transaction costs. Benefiting from increased on-chain activity in Asia and the implementation of ecological support plans, CFX performed impressively.

XTZ (Tezos) recorded a weekly increase of +62%: As an established L1 asset, Tezos recognized the governance flaws in blockchain networks as early as 2014 and was one of the first to propose on-chain governance solutions. Through its on-chain governance system, token holders can decide the upgrade path and priorities of the system, helping to resolve disputes and avoid hard forks. Recent upgrades have driven ecological expansion, while some institutions have begun pilot adoption.

LTC (Litecoin) saw a weekly increase of +22%: Litecoin was developed in 2011 as a branch of the Bitcoin network, aiming to improve Bitcoin's shortcomings. It is the first altcoin, designed to provide a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) currency with faster transaction processing times and lower fees than Bitcoin. Over the years, the use of Litecoin as a payment method has steadily increased, with merchants including the American Red Cross, Newegg, and Twitch accepting LTC as a payment option. In addition to its stable price trend, its integration with traditional financial concepts has also attracted market attention—recently, LTC became one of the first assets linked to a "crypto stock fund" under a major U.S. brokerage, granting it new "crypto ETF-like" attributes.

It is worth mentioning that ETH, as the current market's largest hot mainstream coin, continues to maintain a steady upward trend, with a weekly increase of 23%, becoming a major allocation direction for capital seeking safety and steady growth. With ETH 2.0 staking yields continuing to rise, a flourishing Layer 2 ecosystem, and institutions continuously increasing their positions, this asset has once again become a core allocation target for large funds.
