On the evening of March 25, in Shenzhen, when Molly, the official spokesperson for Huobi HTX and HTX DAO ambassador, said this at the "Walking Towards Spring · 2026 Web3 Salon Dinner," there was a moment of thoughtful silence in the audience. It was a sense of resonance — everyone present was aware that the current industry is at a point where someone needs to speak the truth and take real action.

This was the first offline event for HTX DAO after the New Year, but it was different from the "crypto circle events" people might expect. There was no dense brand exposure, no labeled guest appearances. Instead, it was an in-depth dialogue centered around "AI × Crypto" and the future of the industry — discussing not what Huobi HTX and HTX DAO have done, but where this industry is headed and what we as practitioners can do.

If the Shenzhen salon on March 25 was HTX DAO's "rational response" to industry trends, then the HTX DAO trip to Huizhou starting March 26 was an "emotional response" to community connection. Two events, two languages, pointing to the same proposition: co-construction is not just a slogan; it requires real action.

Deep Dialogue Among Builders

Molly did not shy away from the industry's uncertainties; instead, she started from there. She stated that at times of unclear prospects, it is more important to foster genuine connections and communication among people than to chase short-term trends. It is through repeated face-to-face dialogues that Huobi HTX and HTX DAO can continuously discover like-minded partners — those who are genuinely committed to industry building. By making continuous investments and fostering deep connections, they push the industry forward, which is what Huobi HTX and HTX DAO have been doing.

In addition to Molly's sharing, several industry opinion leaders, including KOL Vito, Cloud, and Yu Jianing, also contributed a wealth of viewpoints. Topics ranged from entrepreneurial opportunities in AI and Crypto, the new trading paradigm in the AI era, to financial narratives around RWA tokenization, covering several cutting-edge themes of Web3. During the roundtable session, all participants engaged in an open discussion about "Is Web4.0 a concept or the future," leading to a profound industry dialogue.

This is precisely the purpose of HTX DAO holding offline events: the value of an event lies not in how many are held, but in what is discussed. Rather than building a brand exhibition stage, it is better to create a platform for dialogue where builders can spark new ideas.

Returning to Where the Dream Began

From March 26 to 27, HTX DAO, in collaboration with several industry KOLs, embarked on an urban journey in Huizhou that combined human warmth with industry significance.

Huizhou is where Sun Yuchen, the global advisor of Huobi HTX, grew up, and the most important stop on this trip was his alma mater — Huizhou No. 1 Middle School. Molly shared a detail in her tweet: the school leadership said that because of Sun Yuchen, more people are aware of the school and the students have a more tangible role model for learning. A group of people working in Web3 came to a city and entered a campus because of an industry leader; this fact itself speaks to the power of "credibility" — when you continuously make real contributions to the community and the industry, this accumulation will eventually return in some way. This is true for a school and also for the Web3 industry.

Sun Yuchen's growth trajectory, from Huizhou No. 1 Middle School to Peking University and then deeply engaged in the global blockchain business, is a story about breakthroughs and perseverance. HTX DAO's visit to this starting point is not to tell a success story but is a spiritual return — reminding every industry participant that no matter how far you go, you should never forget the belief you had at the beginning.

Doing "Difficult but Right" Things: A Multifaceted Footnote on Long-termism

If we zoom out a bit, this dual-city event is not an isolated incident; it is a microcosm of a series of recent actions by Huobi HTX and HTX DAO.

From March to April, $HTX has welcomed a round of intensive empowerment, and a clear thread of long-termism is forming: launching on the compliant European platform Bit2Me, initiating on-chain staking functions, becoming the only fee deduction token for Huobi HTX, and continuously executing quarterly buybacks and burns — this set of strategies is not about short-term price boosts, but about building a sustainable token economy around compliance, governance, and deflation.

From the perspective of industry exploration, the "2026 Digital Asset Trends White Paper" recently published by Huobi HTX in collaboration with several leading industry media systematically discusses the trend of digital migration in the global financial system, proposing that "digital assets are not just a new investment category, but a financial system that is taking shape." The white paper covers frontier areas like AI × Crypto, RWA, modular blockchain, resonating with the topics discussed at the Shenzhen salon. The depth of online research and the warmth of offline dialogues converge here.

Breaking down these actions, the entire HTX ecosystem is actually doing three "difficult but right" things:

First, building a dialogue platform. Instead of pursuing quantity and traffic, let every event become a genuine industry dialogue with real content and engagement.

Second, making governance participatory. Through a series of mechanisms like staking, burning, and compliance, enable $HTX holders to become genuine participants in the ecosystem, rather than mere bystanders.

Third, responding to short-term fluctuations with long-term actions. In the midst of industry cyclical shocks, use white papers to provide trend coordinates, use tokens to provide long-term confidence, and use community activities to provide real connections.

Next Stop, Continue Co-Building

While many voices in the industry still chase traffic and short-term narratives, HTX DAO has chosen a longer path — going into the community, standing alongside the true builders. As Molly said, the meaning of communication lies in finding like-minded people, and the progress of the industry is propelled step by step by these individuals.

What city will HTX DAO's next activity be in? What kind of dialogue will it bring? Who will it connect with? The answers to these questions are still on the way.

But one thing is certain — HTX DAO will continue to move forward with builders, walking towards spring.
