Huobi HTX New Asset Weekly Review (8.4-8.11): DONKEY Soars 197%, Meme and ETH Ecosystem Experience General Surge

In the past week (August 4 - August 11), the cryptocurrency market saw frequent shifts in hotspots, with both mainstream and emerging sectors advancing simultaneously. Funds quickly switched between Meme, public chains, and emerging narrative sectors. Overall, multiple assets on the Huobi HTX platform experienced significant increases, with trading activity markedly rising. Some assets achieved short-term surges driven by single events, while mainstream sector ETH ecosystem assets steadily climbed.

Meme Sector Leads, DONKEY and MEMEFI in the Spotlight

This week, the Meme sector continued its strong performance. Although these assets are highly volatile, their low entry barriers, strong communities, and ease of dissemination often create wealth effects in the short term, making them a barometer of market sentiment.

• ++DONKEY++ (BSC Meme): Weekly increase of 197%, ranking first in this week's growth. As a hot Meme asset on the BSC chain, it originated from the social hot meme "CZ self-mockingly I am a donkey," which generated high community engagement and continuous meme creation, attracting a large influx of short-term funds. It has become a representative of lightweight on-chain Meme assets.
• ++MEMEFI++ (Meme): Increased by 120%. MemeFi is a Web3 social tech game that stacks a complex socio-economic layer on top of PvP and PvE games. By introducing keys for player transactions to increase rewards, it makes the game more engaging. With on-chain interactive activities and airdrop expectations, the price continued to rise throughout the week.

Emerging Narratives and Innovative Sectors Explode, SOON and OG Shine Bright

Breakthroughs in public chain performance, fan economy hype, and the integration of blockchain gaming with decentralized research and AI are heating up new stories, attracting both short-term speculation and long-term investment.

• ++SOON++ (L1 Public Chain): Increased by 145%, becoming one of the most watched new public chain projects this week. SOON is a rollup stack designed to provide top performance for all Layer 1 blockchains. As a new L1 public chain project, it has attracted dual attention from public chain enthusiasts and speculative funds due to its high-speed, low-cost on-chain performance test results and early ecological layout. The market generally believes that there is still room for imagination in the narrative of new public chains beyond the Ethereum and Solana ecosystems.
• ++OG++ (Fan Token): Weekly increase of 124%, with the fan economy concept gaining renewed market enthusiasm. The OG Fan Token (OG) is a fan token issued in collaboration between the esports club OG and Socios.com. OG leverages traffic from sports and entertainment IP, revitalizing the on-chain fan economy in the new cycle.
• ++A2Z++ (GameFi): Increased by 108%. The blockchain gaming sector has repeatedly become a hotspot in this year's recovery trend, and A2Z (Arena-Z) redefines the Web3 gaming experience by providing a simplified player-first infrastructure based on OP Stack, achieving new highs in on-chain active users and transaction volume.
• ++BIO++ (DeSci): Increased by 96%, with the decentralized science (DeSci) sector experiencing renewed warmth, sparking market expectations for long-term narratives of blockchain-enabled research. Although these projects exhibit significant short-term price fluctuations, they possess a unique positioning in long-term value exploration.
• ++GRIFT++ (SOL AI): Increased by 97%, with the AI + ++SOL++ narrative fusion triggering speculative excitement. ORBIT (GRIFT) is an integrated DeFi companion that uses AI agents to coordinate and execute on-chain operations based on users' natural language prompts. AI, as one of the long-term narratives in the cryptocurrency market by 2025, becomes even more appealing when combined with high-performance public chains. The market's exploration of the integration of AI and on-chain data is still rapidly advancing.

ETH and Its Ecosystem Assets Steadily Rise, Becoming a Robust Configuration Direction

This week, Ethereum (++ETH++) prices stabilized and rebounded, driving core assets in staking and DeFi to continue rising, becoming a robust configuration direction.

• ++LDO++ (Staking): Increased by 63%, driven by the recovery of the Ethereum staking ecosystem, with staking APR rebounding. Lido is a solution for liquid staking on Ethereum. Lido allows users to stake ETH without a minimum deposit or maintaining infrastructure while participating in on-chain activities (such as lending) to achieve compound growth of returns.
• ++PENDLE++ (DeFi): Increased by 45%, with the interest rate derivatives sector benefiting from a resurgence in institutional demand. Pendle Finance is a protocol for tokenizing and trading DeFi yields, allowing users to execute various yield management strategies.
• ++ENA++ (DeFi): Increased by 38%, steadily climbing in the strong backdrop of the ETH ecosystem. Ethena is a synthetic dollar protocol built on Ethereum, aiming to provide a crypto-native solution for currencies that do not rely on traditional banking infrastructure, with its main product being the delta-neutral synthetic dollar (Synthetic Dollars) USDe.

As the market enters mid-August, hotspots continue to emerge, intertwining new and old sectors to create rich trading opportunities. High-volatility sectors such as Meme, AI, public chains, and GameFi provide a stage for short-term funds, while core assets like the ETH ecosystem solidify the market's foundation. Huobi HTX will continue to help users capture wealth effects and potential opportunities in the new cycle through quality listings and comprehensive market tracking.
