HTX DAO announced the successful completion of its $HTX token burn for Q3 2025. This ongoing deflation initiative effectively optimizes the token's circulation structure and further solidifies the long-term value foundation of $HTX.
Over $27.03 Million Burned, Setting a New All-Time Record
On-chain data confirms the destruction of 13,119,801,941,747.93 $HTX tokens, valued at over $27.03 million, an 11.19% increase quarter-on-quarter, marking a new record since the launch of the burn mechanism.
Burn Details: https://tronscan.org/#/transaction/02d799c40124f89980f6bd492bf19308e4ee35265d80aa4b2aec64b1c2c10cf5
Since introducing the burn program, HTX DAO has remained firmly committed to its on-chain governance principles of "transparency, openness, and verifiability", regularly publishing burn progress and on-chain data to ensure real-time traceability for the entire community. Following this burn, HTX DAO's cumulative burn amount has reached 85.88 trillion $HTX, with an aggregate value of approximately $163 million.
Data indicates that $HTX’s burn efficiency has increased over the past year, rising from 0.78% in Q2 2024 to 1.39% in Q3 2025, representing an average quarterly growth rate of approximately 33%. The figures suggest that the $HTX burn mechanism has become more effective in reducing token supply over time.
Token burns are an integral part of HTX DAO's governance mechanism, representing the core path of redistributing ecosystem revenue to the community and driving token value appreciation. With continuous growth in platform trading volume, ecosystem income, and community engagement, quarterly burns have maintained an upward trajectory, reflecting the healthy development of the $HTX ecosystem and the strengthening confidence of the market.
Record Burn Driven by Sustained Growth in Exchange Business
The record-breaking burn data this quarter was inseparable from the steady expansion of HTX's overall business.
In Q3 2025, HTX's total trading volume rose 25% quarter-on-quarter, while the number of registered users increased by 13%, continuing the trend of consistent user base growth. Meanwhile, total platform assets surpassed $6.87 billion, up 6.4% quarter-on-quarter, securing HTX's position among the world's leading exchanges.
This performance reflects HTX’s consistent growth trend throughout 2025 rather than a short-term variation. Data shows that in H1 2025 alone, HTX surpassed 50 million registered users, with total assets rising 14% year-on-year to exceed $6.4 billion. Overall trading volume climbed 17% year-on-year, while active traders grew 11% from the previous half.
The consistent improvement of its core business provides a solid foundation for ecosystem revenue and the token burn mechanism, forming the backbone of $HTX's stable deflation and long-term value growth. As trading depth, user stickiness, and global reach continue to expand, HTX is moving forward with steady momentum, driving the ecosystem's virtuous cycle and sustainable growth.
Community Governance in Full Bloom: Multiple Listing Proposals Approved by Vote
As HTX DAO's governance mechanisms gradually mature, the community is taking on a greater role in decision-making.
Since the launch of the Listing Governance by Crypto Recommendation, HTX DAO has voted to approve listing proposals for tokens such as 0G_labs, Eclipse, MANYU, and Succinct on the HTX Exchange, showcasing the community's openness, autonomy, and execution capability in ecosystem decision-making.
It can be foreseen that this decentralized recommendation and voting system will become the core engine of $HTX's self-evolution, propelling the platform toward a more efficient, open, and resilient governance structure and offering a replicable paradigm for Web3 governance.
Focusing on CeFi x DeFi Integration and Expanding Innovative Use Cases On-Chain
Beyond its token burn and governance mechanisms, HTX DAO is committed to building a global ecosystem that is open to all developers. The primary focus is to create new applications for the $HTX token on the blockchain by integrating CeFi (Centralized Finance) with DeFi (Decentralized Finance) and exploring Real-World Assets (RWAs), creating a true "Free Finance Port". HTX DAO promises to empower the global builder community with the resources, tools, and stage necessary to accelerate the adoption and development of more $HTX native applications.
In the future, HTX DAO will continue to uphold the principles of openness, transparency, and decentralization, working alongside the global community and developers to drive the prosperity of the $HTX ecosystem. Together, they aim to support the ongoing development of the DeFi ecosystem and advance the evolution of a more inclusive and innovative Web3 environment.
