HTX Hotlist Weekly Summary (July 15th)

HTX, a leading global crypto exchange, was newly listed in the third week of July and recorded robust performance from feature assets. This period was characterized by an enhanced rotation of trend narratives across the crypto market, increasingly changing from established capital to promising emerging tokens and high potential sectors.

Ethereum ($eth) once again stood out as “the hottest mainstream asset”, earning an impressive 23%, strengthening its appeal as an anchor in the core market. This consistent performance positions ETH as the primary allocation target for capital that seeks both safety and stable growth. The staking yield of Escalate ETH 2.0, the thriving tier 2 ecosystem, and sustained institutional accumulation continue to solidify ETH’s position as a core asset for substantial investment.

Importantly, the strategic choice of HTX’s major new listings was extremely effective, with several tokens across categories such as Meme, NFT, Defi, Social, and Infrastructure more than doubled their value within a week. Below are some highlights of this week’s top performers.

Emerging assets provide fuel and boost the impact of wealth

●Ani Grok Companion ($ani): Increased 137% in just 7 days to earn Top Gains of the Week. This AI+ meme project blends “Gooning” memes with Grok images from Xai and Elon Musk, combining AI trends with community-driven content creation. Driven by the talk of the organic community, innovative gameplay and short-term trading opportunities, ANI was one of the fastest growing tokens on the platform by trading volumes.

●Elixir ($ELX): Showing a strong revival of Defi’s story, posting a profit of 115% each week. Elixir is a blockchain project dedicated to advances in Defi and liquidity solutions. With TVL over $300 million, Elixir has also introduced DEUSD, a synthetic USD-stablecoin that maintains stability via its “delta neutral strategy” and generates returns through its funding rate.

●Distributed Information Assets ($DIA): This on-chain infrastructure token also saw an increase of 115% over the course of a week. $DIA is a decentralized Oracle platform that provides reliable data feeds for DEFI and other blockchain applications. Its main functions are to provide chain and chain off-chain market data, price supply, and Oracle services. DIA’s positive price momentum was supported by increased Web3 development activities and increased expectations for adoption of the application layer.

●Pudgy Penguins ($Pengu): Following last week’s surge in NFT concept assets, Pengu has maintained a robust performance with a profit of 111% this week. The Pudgy Penguins NFT Collection features 8,888 unique penguin avatars known for their powerful IP attributes and a deeply involved community. The rise of Pengu is a reflection of the new enthusiasm and potential of the NFT sector during the current cycle.

Infrastructure and public chain sectors will rotate aggressively with layer 1 market heating

This week, a prominent structural rotation occurred in the Layer 1 sector, with several important tokens experiencing abrupt upward movement.

●Conflux ($CFX): Increases by 104% in one week. Conflux works as a public layer 1 blockchain designed to power DAPP, e-commerce, and Web 3.0 infrastructure by providing superior scalability, decentralization and security compared to existing protocols. $CFX has worked very well with increased on-chain activity in Asia and the deployment of ecosystem support programs.

●Tezos ($XTZ): We won 62% this week. As a veteran Layer1 project, Tezos identified flaws in the governance of blockchain networks in 2014 and pioneered chain governance solutions. Tezos allows token holders to determine network upgrade roadmap and prioritize, effectively resolve disputes and bypass the need for disruptive network hard forks. Recent upgrades have further driven ecosystem expansion, and have also gained the adoption of pilots by several institutional organizations.

●Litecoin ($LTC): Increased 22% every week. Litecoin’s adoption as a payment method has grown over the years and is widely accepted by a wide range of merchants and organizations, including the American Red Cross, Newegg and Twitch. Beyond consistent price stability, the expansion of integration with traditional financial concepts has attracted market attention. Recently, LTC was designated as one of the initial assets linked to “crypto equity funds” launched by major US brokerage companies, giving them a new “Crypto ETF-like” attribute.
