Huobi HTX Venture Head: The market needs to rebuild trust with stable liquidity and security systems.

During the conference, Alec Goh, the head of Huobi HTX venture capital, was invited to attend a roundtable forum themed “Crypto Market 2025: New Growth or Continued Stagnation?” and shared insightful views.

Alec Goh was invited to attend the roundtable forum and express his views.

Alec stated in his speech that the 10·11 black swan event exposed the structural vulnerabilities of the crypto market, including weak liquidity, excessive leverage among retail investors, and reliance on a few large market makers. The automatic deleveraging mechanism of the exchanges triggered a chain reaction during the event, further worsening the market depth. Alec pointed out that the current market is in a “consolidation phase after the speculative era,” similar to 2016 or 2019. During this phase, market enthusiasm has cooled, but builders are quietly accumulating market share. To restore retail investors' trust in the market, the industry must return to fundamentals: more stable liquidity design, stronger security systems, and higher quality projects.

Talking about future trends, Alec believes that the combination of AI and Blockchain is entering a construction phase, similar to the DeFi stage of 2018. In the next 2–3 years, we may see AI Agents interacting directly with smart contracts, and Initial Model Offerings (IMO) becoming a new way of financing, which could be the starting point of the next big wave.

Focusing on “Ease of Use and Practicality”: Huobi HTX Venture Capital Ranks Among the Industry Leaders

At the official awards ceremony of the conference, Huobi HTX Ventures was awarded the “Best Web3 Venture Capital Fund of the Year” for its forward-looking layout and continuous influence in the global Web3 investment field.

Meanwhile, Huobi HTX successfully ranked among the top three centralized exchanges of the year.

These two honors reflect the global Blockchain industry's high recognition of Huobi HTX in terms of innovation, investment layout, and industry driving force. As Alec mentioned, Huobi HTX's venture capital will continue to uphold the mission of “making Blockchain easier to use and more practical,” focusing on key areas such as DeFi, AI Agent, RWA tokenization, and infrastructure, supporting the growth and implementation of high-quality Web3 projects worldwide, and contributing to the sustainable development of the industry.
