HTX Research: A Fresh Look at Bitcoin Amidst Macro Changes, Featuring HTX’s New Compliant Stablecoin Offerings

SINGAPORE, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HTX Research, the research arm of HTX, has just released a crucial new report: The New Macroeconomic Landscape and Bitcoin Outlook: An Analysis of Liquidity, Risk Appetite, Policy Dynamics, and Investment Strategy. This comprehensive analysis comes at a pivotal time, as the global macroeconomic landscape undergoes profound shifts and the cryptocurrency market, especially Bitcoin’s price movements, becomes increasingly influenced by this complex backdrop. The report offers investors valuable insights, a clear market outlook, and strategic investment guidance on how evolving macroeconomic conditions are shaping the Bitcoin market.

Bitcoin Outlook in the Macro Environment: Liquidity & Market Risk Appetite

The current global macro environment is complex. A combination of factors, including cooling expectations for Fed rate cuts, ongoing quantitative tightening (QT), the replenishment of the U.S. Treasury General Account (TGA), and anticipated rate hikes by the Bank of Japan, are collectively contributing to tighter short-term liquidity.

Over the medium term (3–12 months), liquidity is expected to gradually improve. However, uncertainty surrounding market risk appetite presents both opportunities and challenges for the Bitcoin market.

Policy Tug-of-War Signals Crypto-Friendly Shifts: A Loosening Grip on Stablecoin Regulation?

The ongoing policy debate is having a significant impact on the crypto market. In a notable development, Hong Kong’s Legislative Council has passed the Stablecoin Bill, which establishes a comprehensive licensing regime for fiat-backed stablecoin issuers in Hong Kong. This legislation further refines the regulatory framework for virtual asset activities within the region, aiming to foster financial stability and consumer protection.

The more profound and complex policy impacts are unfolding in the United States. The Trump administration’s “Big Beautiful Tax Plan”, aimed at reducing taxes by $5 trillion over the next decade, has boosted market sentiment in the short term. However, the growing fiscal deficit and debt ceiling issues could spark liquidity volatility.

Regarding regulation, the U.S. Senate is making progress on stablecoin legislation. The GENIUS Act seeks to establish a standardized framework for the stablecoin market, mandating backing by 100% high-quality asset reserves. Negotiations have reportedly reached a consensus on approximately 90% of the terms, signaling a strong bipartisan push for regulatory clarity in this critical sector.

Additionally, the accelerated exploration of tokenized U.S. equities is noteworthy, with the U.S. SEC is actively researching and evaluating this space, while major financial institutions (e.g., JPMorgan) are strategically positioning themselves in this emerging field.

Furthermore, U.S. federal and state initiatives to legislate “strategic Bitcoin reserves,” such as New Hampshire’s H.B. 302 bill, are further elevating Bitcoin’s strategic importance and providing policy support for increased institutional participation. These developments collectively indicate a growing recognition and integration of digital assets within traditional financial and governmental structures.

HTX Lists USD1 and Other Compliant Stablecoins, Introduces Zero-Fee Conversion

With global policy easing on the horizon and a growing push for regulatory clarity, stablecoins are increasingly solidifying their role as the foundation of liquidity and value pegs within the crypto market. Recognizing this pivotal opportunity, HTX has recently launched a range of compliant stablecoins, including USD1 (World Liberty Financial USD), USDQ (Quantoz), EURQ (Quantoz), USDR (StablR),  EURR (StablR),and AETHUSDT (Aave Ethereum USDT). This expansion is designed to meet diverse user investment preferences and boost capital efficiency.

To celebrate the launch of USD1 and reduce barriers to user participation, HTX is offering a special zero-fee conversion service. From now until December 31, 2025, at 15:59 (UTC), users can trade the USD1/USDT spot pair with no trading fees. This initiative ensures users incur no additional costs during conversion, thereby maximizing their capital utilization.

The report concludes that the Bitcoin market may encounter liquidity pressures and volatility risks in the short term. However, the medium to long term holds significant potential for a rebound. This optimistic outlook is largely supported by clearer regulatory policies and growing institutional adoption. HTX will continue to closely monitor market and regulatory trends to help users seize opportunities and achieve steady growth in the complex and evolving crypto landscape.

CGTN: Sci-fi becomes reality: China’s groundbreaking humanoid fighting championship captivates global audiences

China Media Group debuted the world’s first humanoid robot combat event in Hangzhou on May 25, 2025, showcasing bots performing martial arts moves learned from motion-captured fighters. Celebrated as a tech milestone, the competition merges innovation with spectacle, signaling China’s ambition to lead the robotics industry and pioneer real-world applications.


BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 May 2025 – China Media Group (CMG) unveiled the world’s inaugural humanoid robot fighting competition on Sunday in Hangzhou City, east China’s Zhejiang Province, marking a milestone in robotics innovation.

image-1.jpeg

Dubbed the “Mech Combat Arena Competition,” this high-energy event showcased robots engaging in choreographed combat, performing moves like jabs, uppercuts and kicks. As part of CMG’s broader World Robot Competition Series – which includes robot football and basketball – the tournament blends education and entertainment, aiming to popularize cutting-edge robotics through immersive, theme-based spectacles.

How robots learned to fight

Behind the robots’ seemingly effortless martial prowess lies a meticulous development process: the bots learn from human “shifus.”

Engineers collaborated with professional fighters to capture motion data from key body joints during real combat maneuvers. This data was then integrated into the robots’ AI-backed control systems, followed by extensive testing and refinement to ensure stability and fluidity.

The result? Machines capable of dynamic, human-like agility under intense duress – a testament to advancements in motion planning and real-time balance control.

Experts laud breakthroughs and future potential

The competition has drawn praise from industry leaders for pushing technological boundaries. Liu Tai, deputy chief engineer at the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, called the event “a thrilling demonstration of stability and coordination in high-intensity scenarios,” highlighting its role in bridging scientific progress with industrial application.

Meanwhile, Sun Tizhong, an official in charge of future industries development in Zhejiang Province, emphasized the region’s strategic focus on humanoid robotics, citing its “explosive potential” and noting Zhejiang’s 2024 action plan to foster cross-sector collaboration in the field.

Global audiences embrace the robotic revolution

The tournament resonated far beyond the Chinese mainland. Media outlets in China’s Taiwan region hailed it as turning “sci-fi into reality,” while Taipei youths praised CMG for transforming complex topics like productivity innovation into accessible public discourse. On social media, international viewers flooded CGTN’s YouTube channel with enthusiastic reactions:

“This is just the start. Imagine in five years with all the crazy tech advancements.”

“Soon this will become a new world sporting event.”

“The fact that they chose to include kicks… and generally pull it off is impressive.”

“American dreams, all comes true in China.”

From showbiz to real-world applications

The Hangzhou showdown follows April’s historic humanoid robot half-marathon in Beijing, where the Tiangong Ultra robot completed 21 kilometers in under three hours.

While still a collaborative experiment rather than a pure competition, the race underscored broader ambitions. As engineer Cheng Xuemei noted, the technology behind these feats could revolutionize elder care, hazardous environment operations and industrial automation.

With China projected to produce over 10,000 humanoid robots by 2025 – claiming more than half the global market – the nation’s robotics sector appears poised to reshape both industry and daily life worldwide.
