HTX DAO and HTX Ventures at Bitcoin 2025: Empowering the Global Rise of the Bitcoin Ecosystem
SINGAPORE, May 29, 2025 /CNW/ -- HTX DAO and HTX Ventures, two integral forces within the HTX ecosystem, proudly participated in Bitcoin 2025, the world's premier Bitcoin summit held in Las Vegas. Engaging with global crypto leaders, they actively explored the future of Bitcoin and the broader digital asset industry—while supporting innovation and accelerating transformation across the decentralized ecosystem.
Justin Sun, Advisor to HTX and Founder of TRON, joined a high-profile panel discussion during the event, where he shared invaluable insights on Bitcoin's evolution, WBTC's critical role in smart contract integration, and how U.S. policy signals are shaping worldwide adoption.
"One of the biggest lessons I've learned since entering crypto in 2012 is: never bet against Bitcoin," said Sun. "We've already seen Bitcoin surpass $110,000, and I firmly believe that as long as we keep building, Bitcoin will continue to hit new highs."
Reflecting on his recent engagement with U.S. President Donald Trump, Sun emphasized the significance of political support for the industry, "President Trump's backing is monumental. Without his support, Bitcoin wouldn't have broken $100,000. The U.S. plays a leading role in global financial regulation—once it sets a clear crypto policy, other countries will follow. This will speed up global Bitcoin adoption and bring more people into the crypto space."
Sun also spoke in depth about Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) as a gateway for unlocking Bitcoin's potential in the smart contract world, "WBTC enables Bitcoin holders to interact with DeFi, earn yield, and use BTC as collateral across Ethereum, TRON, Solana and more. It transforms Bitcoin into a programmable asset. With proof-of-reserve, on-chain transparency, and cold storage security, WBTC is both safe and powerful."
Looking ahead, Sun forecasted that traditional financial products will inevitably migrate onto the blockchain, creating new opportunities for yield and arbitrage, "WBTC is just the first step. In the future, all financial products—stocks, bonds, stablecoins—will be brought on-chain. Transparency and decentralization will define the next generation of global finance."
Immersive Community Experience by HTX DAO and HTX Ventures
During the event, HTX DAO and HTX Ventures unveiled a life-size replica of Justin Sun's iconic space capsule, inviting attendees to participate in an immersive and shareable experience. Visitors were encouraged to follow @HTX_DAO and @Ventures_HTX on X (formerly Twitter), and post creative selfies using the hashtag #HTXDAOLasVegas. Winners received up to 100 USDT in crypto rewards. The activation quickly became a highlight of the event.
Notably, Bitcoin 2025 gathered an impressive lineup of high-profile speakers, including U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Eric Trump, White House advisor on AI and crypto David Sacks, MicroStrategy Co-Founder Michael Saylor, and BitMEX Co-Founder Arthur Hayes. Throughout the conference, these leaders engaged in in-depth discussions on Bitcoin ecosystem development, regulatory policy, technological innovation, and global adoption—providing valuable direction for the industry's future.

While Bitcoin Hits a New Price Record, Critics Still Have These Warnings for Crypto Investors
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) may have hit a new all-time high of $112,000 in May, but it's not out of the woods quite yet. Already, Bitcoin has retreated back down to the $105,000 level, and there are some critics warning about a further decline in price. While the long-term outlook for Bitcoin might be bullish, there could be quite a bit of uncertainty and volatility over the second half of 2025. Here are three key factors keeping the Bitcoin skeptics up at night. Tariff and trade uncertainty As long as tariffs continue to dominate the headlines, they will continue to have a direct impact on how investors view the crypto market. As a result, it's been a see-saw year for Bitcoin. After hitting an all-time high in January, Bitcoin dropped as low as $75,000 after President Donald Trump announced the new Liberation Day tariffs on April 2. Bitcoin has subsequently recovered, but every week seems to bring some new twist or turn in the tariff debate. The newest factor is the worsening state of the trade negotiations involving the U.S. and China. At one time, it looked like some kind of trade deal might be worked out by mid-summer. Now, it looks like the two sides are further apart than ever. So how will Bitcoin investors react? If they view Bitcoin as a safe haven asset, they might move even more money into Bitcoin, thereby boosting its price. However, if they view Bitcoin as a risky and volatile digital asset, then they might sell off, just as they did in April. Unfinished business in Washington When President Trump came into office in January, the future looked very bright indeed for Bitcoin. New crypto legislation looked like it would be ready to sign soon, and crypto enthusiasts were excited about upcoming Bitcoin initiatives from the Trump White House. However, five months into the presidency, and there's still a lot of unfinished business. Take the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, for example. Yes, Trump signed an executive order for its creation in March, but it delivered much less punch than many people expected. Most importantly, the executive order failed to outline how the government planned to buy Bitcoin in the future. As a result, investors are still waiting on some form of legislation, such as the BITCOIN Act proposed by Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), that will precisely outline a mechanism for buying more Bitcoin. On top of all that, there are now questions swirling around the Trump family's connections to Bitcoin. At the very least, there appear to be potential conflicts of interest. For example, Donald Trump's media company -- Trump Media & Technology Group -- recently divulged plans to buy $2.5 billion worth of Bitcoin. And members of the Trump family now have interests in a variety of Bitcoin-related projects. The four-year Bitcoin cycle Historically, Bitcoin has followed a fairly predictable pattern of boom and bust. The four-year Bitcoin cycle starts with a period of quiet accumulation, followed by a period of rapid growth. This leads to a Bitcoin bubble filled with hype and speculation. After that comes the crash. For example, the 2020-2021 rally that saw Bitcoin hit a (then) all-time high of $69,000 was quickly followed by a disastrous market crash that saw it lose 65% of its value in 2022. And the same pattern may be happening again. If history is any guide, then the final phase of the Bitcoin cycle could be arriving soon. Thus, even if Bitcoin soars to $150,000 this year, it might have a hard time holding on to those gains heading into 2026. If you'd have waited until now to buy Bitcoin, you might be buying at or close to the top of the market. By the end of 2025, it might already be too late. Only a 22% chance of failure? The good news is that most Bitcoin investors are remarkably bullish these days. According to online prediction markets, Bitcoin only has a 22% chance of falling below the $70,000 price level, and only a 16% chance of falling below the $60,000 price level. Long gone are the days when people regularly prognosticated that Bitcoin could fall all the way to zero. That being said, investors still need to be aware of the risks of investing in Bitcoin. The price of Bitcoin never goes straight up. It is highly volatile, filled with many peaks and valleys. If you don't have firm convictions about Bitcoin, it's remarkably easy to buy high and sell low. When it comes to Bitcoin, it's best to keep a long-term perspective. Bitcoin has never been a tariff-proof, inflation-proof, or recession-proof asset. But over a long enough time horizon, it continues to be the top-performing asset in the world. The only catch is that you have to be willing to hold on to it, through good times and bad. Should you invest $1,000 in Bitcoin right now?

MEXC Officially Unveils Launchpad Platform: Acquire BTC at Discounted Prices
VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 6, 2025 /CNW/ -- MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has officially unveiled its new Launchpad, an innovative token issuance platform that provides users with guaranteed access to high-quality projects at discounted prices. MEXC's first-ever Launchpad event and debut offering lets users subscribe to select tokens and unlock discounts on BTC. According to data from Triple-A, the global crypto user base has surpassed 560 million, and market momentum continues to grow. However, many users remain sidelined from having early investment access to promising projects, but also access to established assets at significant discounts due to high entry barriers and complex risk factors. MEXC Launchpad addresses these pain points with a redesigned, fully upgraded investment platform that breaks through the traditional IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) model. By offering discounted access to premium project tokens, Launchpad aims to provide users with inclusive access to high-quality crypto investments, helping retail users capture emerging and established market opportunities. Because of these highlights, MEXC Launchpad is known for being the "Your Easiest Way to Top Tokens — Early or at a Discount." Key features of the Launchpad include: Discounted Access to Token Subscriptions The platform adopts a differentiated pricing strategy, offering users the opportunity to subscribe at prices below market expectations. This significantly lowers the cost barrier for retail investors to participate in high-quality projects and positions them to benefit from potential gains after the token is listed. Fair Participation Breaking away from traditional lottery systems and favoring large holders, MEXC Launchpad ensures that all eligible users can participate on equal footing. Users are not required to complete complex tasks to subscribe, a feat that significantly improves participation and enhances accessibility. Rigorous and Professional Project Selection MEXC has implemented a rigorous evaluation framework that assesses projects across multiple dimensions, including technology and innovation, team background, and development potential. This professional vetting process ensures that only high-quality projects are featured, helping users manage investment risk effectively. Flexible and Diverse Subscription Models Users can participate using designated tokens, with both non-oversubscription and oversubscription models available. In the non-oversubscribed model, users receive tokens based on the amount committed. The oversubscribed model uses a proportional allocation mechanism to ensure a fair distribution process. The debut MEXC Launchpad event offers BTC-based subscriptions, featuring special discount packages tailored to different types of users. New User Exclusive: Subscribe at up to 90% off (as low as 10% of the market price), with subscription limits ranging from 5 to 55 USDT and a total supply of 4 BTC. All Users: Enjoy a 20% discount on subscriptions, with subscription limits from 25 to 250 USD1 and a total supply of 3 BTC. Referral Rewards: Earn a 5 USDT bonus for each new user referred, up to a maximum of 100 USDT in referral rewards. Subscription Period: June 6 to June 20 "The release of MEXC Launchpad marks a major milestone in MEXC's commitment to inclusive finance," said Tracy Jin, COO of MEXC. " By offering a fair and simple subscription model, we're making premium project investment accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few. Choosing BTC as the first featured asset opens a new channel for everyday users to participate in "digital gold." Looking ahead, we'll continue introducing high-quality projects to bring more value to our global users." Cryptocurrency investing involves significant risk and is subject to market volatility. Investors may face potential loss of principal. Please ensure you thoroughly understand the project details and carefully evaluate your risk tolerance before making any investment decisions. The first BTC Launchpad event is now live on MEXC. For more details, visit the official Launchpad page: About MEXC Founded in 2018, MEXC is committed to being "Your Easiest Way to Crypto."
