HTX Futures Head Breaks It Down: What HTX Futures Got Right in 2025 and Where It’s Headed Next

PANAMA CITY, Dec. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In 2025, amid white-hot competition in futures trading, HTX Futures achieved a milestone expansion of its user base, driven by robust risk controls and ongoing product innovation. As we pivot toward 2026, the industry is asking: How will HTX Futures sustain this momentum? And what is the driving force behind the “Copy Trading 4.0” buzz?

In the latest episode of Real Talk with HTX Executives, YOYO, Head of HTX Futures, addressed users directly to unpack the brand’s 2025 milestones and unveil the strategic blueprint for 2026.

Copy Trading 4.0: A System-Level Product Rebuild

Launched in 2023 and iterated throughout 2024, Copy Trading 4.0 saw breakout growth in late 2025. It is now recognized as the benchmark for HTX’s “human-centric” transformation. YOYO summarized this leap forward with three pillars: Enhanced User-Friendliness, Absolute Transparency, and Superior Security.

The copy trading engine is now natively integrated into the core futures interface. This “develop once, deploy everywhere” architecture ensures that every new futures feature is instantly available to copy traders, drastically shortening the innovation cycle.

For beginners, Smart Copy Mode removes the friction of complex configurations, allowing users to follow elite traders with balanced risk exposure. The system also offers a seamless “dual-identity” switch, letting users toggle between being a follower and a lead trader.

To prevent position commingling, the system now utilizes independent capital pools for each followed trader. Furthermore, the migration from order-based to position-based logic provides a more intuitive, real-time overview of portfolio health.

YOYO emphasized that 4.0 is not the finish line. The next phase involves integrating AI-driven strategies and expanding the elite trader ecosystem to ensure a sustainable, high-yield future for all participants.

Annual Review: What Did HTX Futures Get Right in 2025?

Looking back on the year soon coming to a close, YOYO described the trajectory of HTX Futures as one of “accumulative growth”. She revealed that the HTX Futures user base expanded by 2 to 3 times in 2025.

According to YOYO, this growth was not fueled by short-term market tailwinds but was a natural outcome of users’ long-term trust in the platform. This trust is underpinned by two core strengths HTX has consistently reinforced over the year – its brand foundation and service capabilities. These strengths are increasingly being converted into sustainable, long-term competitive advantages for its futures business.

  • Security and Risk Control: The Bedrock of Long-Term Trust

First and foremost is HTX’s risk control and security system. For futures traders, security remains the single most critical factor in decision-making.

YOYO noted that over the past 12 years, HTX has continuously strengthened and refined its risk-control system, building a comprehensive defense that spans user fund isolation, system stability, and resilience under extreme market conditions. Whether during the recent industry turbulence around October 11 or amid multiple periods of intense volatility earlier this year, HTX Futures experienced no major systemic risk incidents. Its proven resilience in maintaining stable operations through repeated real-world stress tests has become a fundamental pillar supporting long-term user trust.

  • Liquidity Development: A Key Milestone for the Futures Business

On liquidity, YOYO revealed that since April this year, HTX has achieved significant improvements in liquidity depth across major cryptocurrencies as well as selected secondary assets, with overall levels nearly doubling. This progress stands out as one of the most important developments for HTX Futures in 2025.

She also admitted that there is still room for improvement in certain long-tail and trending assets. Moving forward, the team will continue to solidify the foundations of K2 and secondary assets while rolling out more diversified solutions to optimize liquidity across all assets. This capability, in turn, is set to become one of the most critical and enduring competitive moats of HTX’s futures business.

  • Trading Speed and System Capabilities: Built for High-Frequency and Quantitative Traders

For high-frequency and quantitative traders, execution speed and system performance are paramount. YOYO explained that in May 2025, HTX launched its Multi-Assets Collateral system, which not only supports cross-asset hedging strategies involving cryptocurrencies such as BTC and ETH but has also boosted API trading throughput by nearly fourfold.

Today, a substantial portion of high-frequency quantitative trading activity on the platform has already migrated to this system. Meanwhile, the underlying matching infrastructure continues to undergo optimization. A brand-new matching engine is expected to go live in the first quarter of 2026, further enhancing the smoothness and stability of futures trading.

  • A Financial Product Suite: Enhancing Capital Efficiency and User Retention

While continuously strengthening its fundamental trading capabilities, HTX has steadily built out a more comprehensive financial product suite, now a key pillar for long-term user retention.

Since the launch of SmartEarn in December 2024, HTX Futures has centered its efforts on enhancing capital utilization efficiency. Designed around low entry thresholds and flexible deposits and withdrawals, SmartEarn allows users to earn annualized yields simply by keeping funds in their USDT-M accounts. YOYO revealed that SmartEarn is set to undergo another major iteration in 2026. Without raising usage barriers, its annualized yield potential is expected to increase by 2–3 times.

At the same time, HTX continues to upgrade both its grid trading and copy trading systems. The grid trading system was fully revamped in 2025, followed by the launch of Copy Trading 4.0 toward the end of the year.

In 2026, the team will further ramp up investment in AI-powered strategy trading tools, including AI trading assistants and integrated strategy capabilities. It is dedicated to making proven, mature strategies accessible to users at a lower entry threshold, helping them pursue long-term, sustainable returns.

YOYO emphasized that throughout its business growth, the HTX Futures team has remained committed to engaging directly with users, actively listening to authentic feedback across multiple channels, and using those insights as the primary engine for product optimization and iteration. This virtuous cycle has not only fostered increasingly deep user trust but has also become a solid foundation for business growth. At the same time, the team has consistently served every user with sincerity and dedication. Backed by strong group-level resource support for the futures business, it has become increasingly clear that the turnaround from user feedback to product iteration is getting faster.

The Next Phase of Capacity Building for Futures Trading

Looking ahead to 2026, the strategic direction of HTX Futures remains clear and focused – continuous product refinement, optimization of liquidity structures, improvements in capital efficiency, and deeper strengthening of risk-control frameworks to further solidify the foundational capabilities of the futures business. On this basis, an especially significant shift is now taking shape: exploring ways to return greater proactive risk-management control to users.

In YOYO’s view, the platform’s responsibility extends beyond providing users with robust systems and baseline safety protections. Through product and mechanism design, it should also equip users with mature, clear, and actionable risk-management tools, enabling them to actively participate in managing their own trading risks with a full understanding of potential risks. This also means that, on top of existing system security and risk-control frameworks, HTX Futures will help users establish more transparent and controllable risk-management pathways, so that risk control is no longer a passive outcome, but an integral part of trading decision-making.

Apparently, HTX Futures’ strategy goes beyond scale expansion, pointing instead toward a more mature trading infrastructure and a more clearly defined risk-management paradigm.

From system-level product reconstruction to an evolution in risk-control philosophy, HTX Futures is seeking to answer a longer-term question: in a highly volatile crypto market, how can more users participate in futures trading in a more controlled, rational manner, and ultimately realize long-term value? This, perhaps, is where its true competitive edge in the next phase will lie.

International Digital Image Index 2025 Unveiled, Spotlighting China’s Top Cities in Cyberspace

BEIJING, Dec. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On December 28, 2025, The School of Journalism and Communication at Renmin University of China (RUC) and School of Journalism and Communication Chongqing University jointly released the International Digital Image Index of Chinese Cities (2025) in Chongqing.

International Digital Image Index 2025 Unveiled, Spotlighting China's Top Cities in Cyberspace
International Digital Image Index 2025 Unveiled, Spotlighting China’s Top Cities in Cyberspace

The index set out an evaluation framework assessing the international online image of 106 Chinese cities. It drew on industry data, overseas media coverage, and overseas social media data, and applied big data analytics using tools and platforms including the Zhihuixingguang Daoding database and CISION One database.

The assessment system was built on three dimensions: international communication power, international influence and international recognition. According to the index, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen ranked among the leading cities on its measures of international online image. Large regional cities including Fuzhou, Xiamen and Ningbo also ranked highly and drew attention in international online discussions.

The index highlighted featured cases across the three dimensions. Beijing, Shanghai, Zhongshan and Chongqing were named in the communication category, while Fuzhou, Yiwu, Xiamen, Ningbo, Kaifeng and Yantai were listed for international influence and Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Shanghai for international recognition.

Lu Jiayin, the project leader and a professor at Renmin University of China, described the index as more than a ranking list, arguing that a city’s international online image is increasingly shaped by “online communication and audience resonance” rather than by population or economic size alone.

Zhou Yong, dean of School of Journalism and Communication at Renmin University of China, said international communication must go beyond simply “sending messages out. “He added, “It is not merely a translation of language, but a dialogue among civilizations, a connection of emotions, and a resonance of values .”

Hu Baoxiang, president of the China Cities News Media Alliance, described the index as a multi-source assessment and suggested the framework could serve as a methodological reference for cities seeking to improve their international communication.

The School of Journalism and Communication at Renmin University of China (RUC) was founded in 1955. With more than sixty years of continuous development, it has become a nationally acclaimed institution for journalism and communication education, a leader in education reform and innovation, and an important platform for global journalism and communication education exchanges. In the four rounds of national disciplinary evaluations conducted by the Ministry of Education of China, its Journalism and Communication Discipline has been consistently ranked No. 1. In 2017, it has been inducted into the Chinese “Double First-Class” discipline plan.

Voniko Celebrates CES 2026 with Monthly Battery-Powered Device Giveaways

Colorado-based premium battery brand launches monthly Facebook giveaways to thank customers who powered their rise to Amazon’s Top 4

BRIGHTON, Colo., Dec. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Voniko®, the U.S.-based battery brand known for great value household batteries, is showing appreciation for its loyal customers with a new monthly tradition: device giveaways on Facebook. Each month, lucky followers will receive high-quality battery-powered home devices as a token of gratitude for their continued trust in Voniko’s reliable power solutions. The giveaway launch comes as the Colorado-based company gears up for CES 2026 in Las Vegas, where it will show innovative new packaging and an expanded product line at booth South Hall 1 30538.

The Voniko Story: Quality Over Quick Profits

Founded in Brighton, Colorado in 2019, Voniko entered Amazon’s fiercely competitive battery marketplace with a clear mission: deliver superior performance through better engineering and materials. While competitors focused on rock-bottom pricing, Voniko invested in premium zinc materials and advanced chemistry to create batteries that truly last longer.

The path wasn’t easy. For three challenging years, Voniko operated at a loss while competing against low-cost alternatives flooding the market. The temptation to cut corners was constant, but the company remained committed to its quality-first approach.

“We could have gone cheap like everyone else,” said Voniko CEO Edward. “But we believed that if we stayed true to making genuinely better batteries, customers would eventually notice the difference.”

That belief proved prophetic. By 2023, customer loyalty began driving exponential growth. Repeat buyers praised Voniko’s remarkable longevity – with alkaline batteries offering 40% longer lasting power compared to competitor brands and lithium batteries delivering 10x longer lasting performance compared to alkaline alternatives. Word-of-mouth recommendations spread rapidly, propelling Voniko into the Top 4 bestselling battery brands on Amazon in the United States.

From Digital Success to Physical Expansion

Today, Voniko operates as the world’s one of the largest primary battery manufacturers with fully automated smart factories across multiple countries delivering 6.5 billion pieces annually. Despite this scale, the company maintains modest profit margins while continuing to outperform regular batteries in stability and quality.

Building on its digital marketplace success, Voniko is now targeting brick-and-mortar retail expansion. In 2025, the company is actively seeking exclusive distribution partners to bring Voniko products into physical stores across America and internationally.

Innovation and Industry Leadership

Voniko’s commitment to excellence extends beyond manufacturing. As one of five permanent members of the IEC primary battery standards community, the company helps shape industry standards while demonstrating leadership in primary battery technology.

The brand’s product lineup includes alkaline batteries with proprietary New Zinc Powder technology, lithium batteries with 15+ year shelf life, rechargeable options, and coin cell batteries with 7 year shelf life. Each product category delivers consistent performance backed by complete global certifications and rigorous quality control.

Power That Goes With You

Voniko’s monthly giveaway program represents more than customer appreciation – it reflects the brand’s core belief that quality builds lasting relationships. As the company expands from digital dominance to physical retail presence, this customer-first philosophy continues driving growth.

“Our journey proves that doing things the right way pays off,” added CEO Edward.”These giveaways are our way of saying thank you to the customers who believed in us when we were just starting out.”

About Voniko®

Mabwell Announces First Patient Dosed in Phase II Trial of Anti-IL-11 Antibody for Pathological Scarring

SHANGHAI, Dec. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mabwell (688062.SH), an innovation-driven biopharmaceutical company with a fully integrated industry chain, announced that the Phase II clinical trial of its self-developed innovative anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody (R&D code: 9MW3811) for pathological scarring recently completed the first patient dosing in China, becoming the world’s first IL-11 targeting drug candidate to initiate clinical trials for pathological scarring.

This Phase II clinical trial (CTR20254857) aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of 9MW3811 in patients with pathological scarring. The first patient was dosed at the Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Previously, 9MW3811 had completed Phase I trials in healthy subjects in Australia and China, with results showing good safety profile and a half-life of more than one month.

Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is a cytokine that plays a critical role in chronic inflammation and fibrosis-related diseases, and is widely involved in the fibrosis process of multiple organs. Preclinical research shows that 9MW3811 has demonstrated significant efficacy in various models such as pulmonary fibrosis, and has shown potential application value in fibrosis-related diseases such as hypertrophic scar and abnormal endometrial bleeding. Especially in human-derived keloid animal models, 9MW3811 can effectively alleviate the skin fibrosis process and reduce the volume of established scars. Currently, there is a lack of effective therapeutic drugs for hypertrophic scars and keloids, indicating significant unmet clinical needs. 9MW3811 is expected to bring new treatment options to patients.
