HTX Executives Go Face-to-Face: Justin Sun & Molly Dive Into Market Strategy, Space Visions, and More Opportunities
SINGAPORE, May 20, 2025 /CNW/ -- HTX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange has officially launched its new live talk show series Real Talk with HTX Executives. The premiere episode featured Justin Sun, Advisor to HTX, who provided an in-depth discussion on several recent platform highlights. HTX representative Molly also participated in the show, directly addressing user questions in real-time.
On The Launch of Mars Program Special Edition
Justin Sun: A journey to Mars is actually a personal dream of mine. Interestingly,the Chinese names HTX and Mars form a natural alliteration.
For now, the first step is space travel. I believe it's a pursuit worth sharing with the HTX community. If there's ever an opportunity, I aspire to offer our users the chance to experience space as well. Our investment in the space sector is long-term.
Our focus on space does not imply any deceleration in our core product development. On the contrary, HTX remains aggressive and ahead of the curve in new asset listings. As a Top 10 exchange, HTX possesses both significant momentum and established credibility. Regarding the speed and quality of token listings, our competitiveness matches, if not surpasses, that of any other exchange in the market.
The Mars Program symbolizes our vision for the future, reaching for the stars and beyond. Simultaneously, we remain firmly grounded in our commitment to our community. Our ongoing reward campaigns and $HTX token empowerment initiatives continue to operate at full capacity, delivering tangible value to our users.
On the Partnership with Trump Family's Crypto Project
Justin Sun: We were one of the earliest players to recognize the significance of the Trump family's involvement in crypto. From the beginning, I believed that Donald Trump's influence would bring a huge wave of positive momentum into space, and now we're seeing that come to life.
I am honored to serve as an advisor to the Trump family's crypto team. I'm actively involved in providing insights and helping bridge the gap between crypto and traditional politics and, in a broader sense, possibly even between the two major economies. Our objective is to establish a robust, long-term relationship with the Trump family and onboard individuals from traditional industries into Web3.
On HTX's Performance and Growth Strategy
Justin Sun: I'm confident that as long as HTX stays on the right course, sustainable growth will follow. Our strong brand influence, coupled with established reputation as a veteran exchange, fosters deep and enduring trust among our user base. What sets us apart is our unwavering focus on doing what's right, especially in security and risk controls. HTX has maintained an unblemished security record for over twenty months, a significant accomplishment considering the frequency of security breaches within the industry.
We will soon launch a major win-back campaign for dormant users. If you've been away from HTX, there's never been a better time to come back and rediscover what we offer.
The "Real Talk with HTX Executives" program was conceived based on my conviction that security is the paramount concern for cryptocurrency users. A lack of public engagement from exchange leadership can potentially erode user trust. This on-camera series will enable HTX executives to speak directly to our users, share important updates, and listen to their thoughts and concerns firsthand. This commitment to open communication is fundamental to how HTX continuously builds and reinforces user trust.
In response to inquiries about the future role of exchanges and HTX's potential redefinition of the "trading platform," HTX representative @HTX_Molly explained that HTX is evolving beyond the traditional exchange model, aiming to be a builder driving the industry's long-term progress. By cultivating DAO culture and prioritizing community engagement, HTX is forging deeper connections among miners, developers, and users. This collaborative approach aims to facilitate the integration of Web3 into mainstream adoption through genuine consensus-building.
Meanwhile, with Justin Sun's recent efforts to expand HTX's reach into the U.S. market, the exchange is making a strategic move to send a global message — that Chinese exchanges offer not only speed, but also conviction and long-term vision.

Trump says Musk could face ‘serious consequences' if he backs Democrats

Asked specifically if he thought his relationship with the mega-billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX is over, Trump responded, 'I would assume so, yeah.' 'I'm too busy doing other things,' Trump continued. 'You know, I won an election in a landslide. 'I gave him a lot of breaks, long before this happened, I gave him breaks in my first administration, and saved his life in my first administration, I have no intention of speaking to him.'

Vance also defended the bill that has drawn Musk's ire, and said its central goal was not to cut spending but to extend the 2017 tax cuts approved in Trump's first term. The bill would slash spending and taxes but also leave some 10.9 million more people without health insurance and spike deficits by $2.4 trillion over the decade, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.

He said Musk was making a 'huge mistake' going after Trump, but tried to downplay it as an 'emotional guy' getting frustrated. 'I hope that eventually Elon comes back into the fold. Maybe that's not possible now because he's gone so nuclear,' Vance said. Other Republicans in recent days urged the two men to mend fences. Musk's torrent of social media posts attacking Trump came as the president portrayed him as disgruntled and 'CRAZY' and threatened to cut the government contracts held by his businesses. Musk, who runs electric vehicle maker Tesla, internet company Starlink and rocket company SpaceX, lambasted Trump's centerpiece tax cuts and spending bill but also suggested Trump should be impeached and claimed without evidence that the government was concealing information about the president's association with infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

'I've flown off the handle way worse than Elon Musk did in the last 24 hours.' RECOMMENDED VIDEO Vance made the comments in an interview with ' manosphere' comedian Theo Von, who last month joked about snorting drugs off a mixed-race baby and the sexuality of men in the U.S. Navy when he opened for Trump at a military base in Qatar. The vice president told Von that as Musk for days was calling on social media for Congress to kill Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill,' the president was 'getting a little frustrated, feeling like some of the criticisms were unfair coming from Elon, but I think has been very restrained because the president doesn't think that he needs to be in a blood feud with Elon Musk.'

He also said it was ridiculous for some House Republicans who voted for the bill but later found parts objectionable to claim they hadn't had time to read it. Vance said the text had been available for weeks and said, 'the idea that people haven't had an opportunity to actually read it is ridiculous.' Elsewhere in the interview, Vance laughed as Von cracked jokes about famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass' sexuality. 'We're gonna talk to the Smithsonian about putting up an exhibit on that,' Vance joked. 'And Theo Von, you can be the narrator for this new understanding of the history of Frederick Douglass.' The podcaster also asked the vice president if he 'got high' on election night to celebrate Trump's victory. Vance laughed and joked that he wouldn't admit it if he did. 'I did not get high,' he then said. 'I did have a fair amount to drink that night.' The interview was taped in Nashville at a restaurant owned by musician Kid Rock, a Trump ally.
