Huobi HTX New Asset Weekly Review (4.20—4.26): CHIP +134%, SPK +143%, Structural Opportunities Continue

Searching for Certainty Amidst Fluctuations. The crypto market continued to exhibit a typical structural trend in the past week (April 20 - April 26). While mainstream asset volatility tends to converge, on-chain funds have clearly migrated towards high-elasticity sectors, driving the rotation and rise of DeFi, GameFi, and Meme assets. According to data from the Huobi HTX platform, the DeFi sector strengthened mid-week, with CHIP (+134%), SPK (+143%), and OPG (+147%) experiencing broad gains; over the weekend, GameFi and NFTs surged, with A2Z (+225%), ACE (+193%), and APE (+190%) performing exceptionally, while the Meme asset DONKEY led the market with a +417% increase.

DeFi as the Main Line of the Week, Broad Gains for CHIP, SPK, OPG

The DeFi sector played the role of the "main line" this week. In the current macro environment, assets that rely solely on narrative-driven movements exhibit significant volatility, and funds prefer projects with real application scenarios and revenue logic.

GameFi and NFT Sectors Explode Over the Weekend, A2Z, ACE, CHR, and APE Flourish

The GameFi sector performed particularly well this week, especially experiencing a concentrated explosion over the weekend, with A2Z leading the sector with a 225% increase. The NFT sector also rebounded after earlier adjustments, with APE rising 190%, becoming a representative asset of the sector's renewed sentiment.

Meme Sector Sentiment Ignites, DONKEY Leads the Market

Meme assets once again demonstrated strong capital absorption capabilities this week. Meme markets often exhibit characteristics of "quick starts, high volatility, and strong diffusion." Huobi HTX enables users to participate in trading high-heat assets by quickly capturing on-chain hotspots.

• DONKEY: With a weekly increase of 417%, it ranks first, becoming the most representative sentiment-driven asset of the week. It originated from CZ's post claiming to be a donkey (I am a donkey), resulting in this Meme on the BSC chain.

• CLAWD (clawd.atg.eth): Weekly increase of 200%. CLAWD is a Meme coin that has gained popularity in the crypto market around the topic of "AI agent/AI bot" on the Solana chain.

Structural Trends Continue, Huobi HTX Continues to Discover Potential Quality Assets

Overall, the market did not present a unified main line this week, still exhibiting structural characteristics of multi-sector rotation: driven by DeFi in the week, and amplified sentiment by GameFi and NFTs over the weekend. This decentralized driving and rhythm-switching market environment places higher demands on the asset selection and launch capabilities of trading platforms.

As the market enters a new phase dominated by structural opportunities, the trend-based opportunities of single assets are decreasing, while the ability to identify cross-sector and multi-dimensional opportunities will become key for traders to achieve excess returns. In the future, Huobi HTX will continue to delve into the discovery of quality global assets, continuously providing users with high-potential targets based on dimensions such as high growth potential, strong community foundation, and clear narrative logic.
