HTX DAO Celebrates First Anniversary with Explosive Growth and Bold Plans for 2025

SINGAPORE, Feb. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HTX DAO, a leading decentralized autonomous organization in the blockchain space, commemorates its first anniversary with resounding success. Throughout 2024, HTX DAO demonstrated strong market performance, refined its decentralized governance model, and empowered its community, laying the foundation for continued success in 2025 and beyond.

HTX DAO’s First Annual Report: $HTX Demonstrates Exceptional Growth in 2024

HTX DAO has achieved significant milestones in its inaugural year. The number of users subscribed to $HTX Earn reached an impressive 391,221, with a total subscription value of $4.308 billion. As of January 22, 2025, $HTX holders had grown to over 728,900, highlighting its expanding influence within the cryptocurrency market.

In 2024, $HTX’s market performance was exceptional. After dipping to a low of $0.0000008 in early August, $HTX surged to an all-time high of $0.000003596, marking a remarkable 350% increase. Currently, $HTX is trading at approximately $0.0000023, reflecting a nearly threefold rise in its average price.

This growth is attributed to a combination of factors, including an effective token burn mechanism that saw 49 trillion $HTX tokens burned in 2024, effectively managing supply and demand.

Empowering the Community Through Decentralized Governance

At the core of HTX DAO is its commitment to community-driven governance. In 2024, HTX DAO reinforced its decentralized model by actively involving its users in the decision-making process. The DAO held two governance committee elections, resulting in the selection of 11 community-elected members, all chosen by $HTX holders, ensuring genuine decentralization. Key initiatives launched in 2024 include:

  • Vote to List: This innovative model gives users with higher Rocket Value (based on token holdings and trading activity) greater voting power in crypto listing proposals,making the process more community-driven and promoting a healthy ecosystem.
  • Surprise Gift: This fun and engaging feature allows projects to distribute crypto rewards to users, boosting participation and real-time interaction.
  • Multi-Farming for Launchpool: The DAO proposed a new staking model, the One Asset, Multiple Rewards which allows users to earn both yields and airdrops from a single asset, offering a smarter and more user-friendly experience. In 2024, Launchpool distributed $5.19 million in rewards, with a peak APY of 100%, making it one of the hottest yield-generating tools in the market.

These initiatives exemplify HTX DAO’s commitment to decentralization, ensuring that the community plays a central role in shaping the platform’s future.

Looking Ahead to 2025: The Road to The People’s Exchange 2.0

In 2025, HTX DAO will be focusing on further advancing its core mission: driving token burns, refining community-driven governance, and expanding its global presence. With more high-quality projects joining the ecosystem and innovative collaborations underway, the DAO is poised to embark on the journey toward The People’s Exchange 2.0, driven by a long-term vision of building a metaverse free port aimed at achieving financial freedom for all 8 billion people on Earth.

Key plans for 2025 include:

Expanding Global Reach: The DAO aims to increase $HTX’s global liquidity by listing on additional cryptocurrency exchanges, building upon its successful 2024 listings on 28 platforms. 50% of HTX’s revenue will be allocated towards $HTX buybacks and burns, increasing token scarcity and supporting long-term value growth.

Enhancing Community Governance: HTX DAO encourages all community members to actively engage in governance proposals and contribute innovative ideas to improve the platform. This participation is integral to shaping the DAO’s future and fostering collaboration across the ecosystem.

As the HTX DAO whitepaper states, “The ‘X’ within HTX embodies adaptability, inclusivity, and the potential for exponential growth.” HTX DAO is committed to embracing the future of blockchain technology and empowering its community to shape the future of decentralized finance.

About HTX DAO 

As a multi-chain deployed decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), HTX DAO demonstrates an innovative governance approach. Unlike traditional corporate structures, it adopts a decentralized governance structure composed of a diversified group, jointly committed to the success of this organization. This unique ecosystem advocates openness and encourages all DAO participants to propose ideas that can promote the development of HTX DAO.

Celebrating The Power of Partnerships: Who’s Leading the Next Wave of Retail Commerce?

TORONTO, Feb. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As the e-commerce landscape grows ever more crowded, capturing and retaining customers’ attention has become even more challenging. Winning customers is no longer about competing on price alone — it’s about crafting unique products, building distinctive brands, and connecting with consumers on a deeper level. As e-commerce continues to surge, businesses must navigate fierce competition and find strategies that truly set them apart.

In this interconnected world, isolated efforts are no longer enough. Success now depends on collaboration — between brands, technology, and ecosystems. Tapping into the power of partnerships has become the key to unlocking innovation and driving localized growth in the ever-evolving e-commerce landscape.

From Product Creators to Ecosystem Builders

Today’s merchants are no longer just sellers — they’ve become architects of a global business ecosystem. While traditional commerce platforms still matter, the rise of independent online stores has unlocked new opportunities for brands to connect with customers on their own terms.

This evolution brings its own set of challenges, from inventory management to marketing, payments, and fulfillment. One company that is addressing these issues head-on is Shoplazza, a global leader in retail commerce technology. By combining cutting-edge technology with a strong partner ecosystem, Shoplazza enables merchants to streamline operations and focus on what truly matters: building distinctive brands and delivering outstanding customer experiences.

In line with this vision, Shoplazza hosts its annual Shoplazza Awards to celebrate merchants who leverage their brand strength and customer insights to successfully expand into both cross-border and local markets. The awards also spotlight exceptional partners recognized for their technical innovation, deep understanding of merchant needs, and close collaboration with the platform. The 2024 winners, announced recently, exemplify how collaboration fuels success and reshapes the future of commerce.

Empowering Brands to Forge Deeper Consumer Connections

A strong brand is essential for online businesses to succeed, as is the ability to forge meaningful connections with consumers. Achieving this requires a deep understanding of customer needs, a focus on brand building, and strong platform support. The 2024 Shoplazza Awards highlighted merchants who excelled in these areas.

One such company is MUJOSH, a fashion eyewear brand that used Shoplazza’s omnichannel solutions to integrate its online and offline operations. This collaboration resulted in simplifying the customer journey, which in turn drove brand loyalty. Similarly, ICOICE, a DTC fast-fashion lens brand, customized platform features to introduce a subscription model and enhance its sustainability-focused image, ultimately boosting retention and brand value.

Meanwhile, Vitamin World, a 47-year-old health and wellness brand, partnered with Shoplazza to overcome system integration challenges, resulting in an impressive 247.3% year-over-year GMV growth during Black Friday 2024. This success is setting a high bar for what traditional businesses can achieve when they embrace digital solutions.

These brands are an example of how consumer-centric strategies, supported by Shoplazza’s tailored solutions, are driving success in today’s competitive market. Through this partnership, they’re not only building lasting connections with customers but also achieving sustained growth and setting new industry standards.

Partners Driving Ecosystem Innovation

Teaming up with strategic partners expands the capabilities of any platform or solution, providing sellers with a wider array of tools and expertise. By collaborating with key industry players, platforms can help merchants streamline operations, improve customer experiences, and drive innovation within their own business ecosystems. These partnerships create a synergistic effect, where the combined value of each player exceeds the sum of its individual contributions, helping businesses scale more effectively and stay ahead of the competition.

With a robust partner ecosystem, Shoplazza provides sellers with the tools and solutions they need to thrive in an increasingly competitive market. By collaborating with a diverse range of partners, the platform offers merchants access to resources that drive success and innovation. For example, PlumSpace, an app development company, introduced over 40 tools on the Shoplazza App Store in 2024, offering solutions that streamline operations, from traffic analysis to marketing automation. This enables merchants to optimize their workflows and focus on scaling their businesses.

Similarly, Narivex, a global digital marketing platform, brought localized expertise to streamline TikTok onboarding, fueling growth for global brands looking to tap into emerging markets. Meanwhile, payment leaders like Mastercard and Payoneer launched innovative solutions that simplified payment processes, boosted conversion rates, and optimized cross-border transactions, further enhancing the merchant experience. 

These partners not only contributed cutting-edge technologies but also exemplified the power of collaboration with Shoplazza, reinforcing how strong partnerships can propel innovation and create greater value for merchants. 

Collaboration at the Heart of Growth

The synergy between merchants, technology providers, and platforms highlights the strength of an interconnected ecosystem. By aligning merchant needs with partner expertise, businesses can foster collaboration, enabling everyone to thrive. Shoplazza is a prime example of how a platform can leverage its partnerships to help merchants overcome the challenges they face, fostering innovation and accelerating growth. As the retail commerce landscape continues to evolve, strategic partnerships will be key to unlocking new opportunities and shaping the future of global commerce.
