"In the market winter, we are going to take big actions."

This is a clear signal revealed by Molly, the head of Huobi HTX Marketing Center and HTX DAO ambassador, in a recent interview. Huobi HTX global advisor Sun Yuchen also frankly stated on X, "Let $HTX become the only platform coin for Huobi... Focus more on independently empowering $HTX, promoting better development for $HTX."

These signals quickly received a response in the secondary market. Amid the severe fluctuations in Bitcoin and Ethereum, and the significant adjustments of most altcoins, an independent market for $HTX is silently starting.

Reviewing the recent weekly trend of $HTX, a clear "W-bottom" is forming on the right side. The price is steadily above the MA5 and MA10 moving averages, forming a golden cross (currently reported around 0.000001722), with clear anti-fall attributes and upward intentions. Behind the seemingly contrary manifestation of "other coins fall heavily, I fall lightly; others fluctuate, I rise," is actually the market's pricing feedback on the recent series of fundamental reshaping actions by Huobi HTX and HTX DAO.

Fourfold Empowerment Landing, Creating the "Supply-Demand Scissors Gap"

The long-term upward logic of any token is fundamentally tied to changes in supply and demand dynamics. The "Fourfold Empowerment" unveiled by HTX DAO from March to April has precisely hit the supply-demand artery of $HTX:

Increased Capital Influx: On March 4, $HTX officially launched on the European compliant trading platform Bit2Me. This, combined with the previous release of the governance token white paper compliant with the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA, Regulation (EU) 2023/1114) by HTX DAO, brings $HTX into a clearer regulatory context, opening the channel for fiat funds into the European region. More specifically, the establishment of a compliant entry essentially expands the "quality of new funding sources," which will directly impact the medium to long-term pricing system of $HTX.

On-Chain Staking and Locking: On March 16, HTX DAO launched the $HTX staking function, allowing users to earn up to 10% annualized returns through staking and participating in HTX DAO governance. The core of this move is to establish $HTX as one of the infrastructures bridging CeFi and DeFi.

Meanwhile, the attractive return levels will significantly enhance users' willingness to hold $HTX long-term, guiding more chips into a locked state, thereby compressing the circulation scale of the secondary market on the supply side, easing potential selling pressure, and enhancing the stability and elasticity of the pricing system.

Reshaping High-Frequency Necessities: Starting on April 1, $HTX welcomed an epic empowerment - becoming the only fee offset token of Huobi HTX exchange.

Sun Yuchen noted the underlying business logic in a previous social media post: "With the development over the years, Huobi HTX has gradually achieved independent operation, the business is on the right track, and the profit margin is increasing. Now is the right time for independent empowerment."

This adjustment fundamentally reconstructs the trading cost system, transforming $HTX from a "held asset" and "optional use" into a "high-frequency necessity" for traders, creating a continuous real buying pressure in both the spot and contract markets.

Extreme Deflation Mechanism: On April 15, HTX DAO will execute the Q1 2026 destruction plan. According to the HTX DAO white paper, Huobi HTX, as an ecological partner of HTX DAO, will allocate 50% of its income to $HTX buyback and destruction every quarter. Currently, the $HTX destruction plan has been executed 6 times, with nearly one quadrillion coins destroyed and donated for liquidity, about 10% of the total supply.

Only when destruction meets necessity does deflation hold significance.

When a large amount of $HTX is used to offset transaction fees, coupled with a large number of chips locked in staking, along with regular cash destruction and entry of compliant funds, the "scissors gap" formed by sharply reduced supply and skyrocketing demand builds an unbreakable price moat for $HTX.

$100,000 Carnival Month: Amplifying Short-Term Capital Speculation

If the fourfold empowerment is the long-term value foundation for $HTX, then the upcoming $HTX Carnival Month launched by Huobi HTX is the catalyst to ignite short-term market activity.

From April 2 to April 15, users participating in various tasks such as holding, trading, and earning with $HTX will have the chance to share a reward pool of 100,000 USDT. Activity details: $HTX Carnival Month: Trade, Hold, Earn, Share 100,000 USDT Prize Pool!

From early March to mid-April, over a month and a half, Huobi HTX and HTX DAO launched a complete combination of actions: first solidifying the fundamentals with "fourfold mechanisms," then igniting liquidity with "carnival month," and finally wrapping up with deflation and destruction. Each step is interconnected, all aiming for the same goal: to enhance the long-term value and short-term appeal of $HTX.

It is evident that a more proactive path is taking shape around $HTX: from mechanism reconstruction to behavioral incentives to capital accumulation, this is a systematic reshaping around supply-demand relations and asset efficiency.

Wealth Effect Highlighted: $HTX Enters the Hitting Zone

When we refocus on the market dynamics, everything has a reasonable explanation. The recent anti-fall resilience and steady rise of $HTX is precisely the sharp capital responding to this complex logic: both the deep momentum from the platform's long-term ecological construction and the perfect loop constructed by the "fundamentals + activity aspect."

For investors, the current wealth effect of $HTX has already shown a "multiplier level" amplification:

Beta Returns: The macro bottom is apparent, and the technical aspect shows bullish alignment of moving averages, with the possibility of volume breakthroughs launching a main upward wave.

Alpha Returns: During the holding period, one can not only enjoy the highest 10% staking yield but also "earn effortlessly" airdrop rewards during the carnival month.

In the mid-break of the bull market, the most scarce thing in the market is "certainty." Huobi HTX and HTX DAO have demonstrated their determination to defend the coin price and reward the community through a series of dramatic combinations. From the grand narrative of European compliance to the unique offset necessity scenario, and to real monetary subsidies and destruction, the value flywheel of $HTX has already started.

"Big moves" have been made. At this golden turning point of both volume and price rising, holding onto $HTX may be one of the most cost-effective strategic configurations in this cycle.
