PANAMA CITY, Jan. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Transitioning from late 2025 into early 2026, the crypto market saw a recovery in risk appetite despite ongoing volatility. As market liquidity gradually improved, capital rotated from defensive positions toward high-beta, sentiment-driven sectors, thrusting memecoins back into the spotlight.
Over the past week (December 29, 2025 - January 4, 2026), multiple newly listed assets on HTX recorded impressive gains. Memecoins across BSC, Solana, Base, Ethereum, and TRON ecosystems rallied, marking one of the most representative market trends of the week.
Memecoin Sector: Multi-Chain Rallies Driven by Accelerating Momentum
This week's top gainers were dominated by memecoin projects, reflecting a sustained capital preference for assets with high consensus and strong virality.
On BNB Smart Chain (BSC), BROCCOLI (CZ's dog) stood out as the top performer, surging 170% over the week. As an active memecoin project within the BSC ecosystem, BROCCOLI rapidly attracted capital through community-driven dissemination and sentiment resonance. Meanwhile, 4 (FOUR) gained 48%, PALU rose 37%, and Binance Life increased 19%, highlighting a broad-based pickup in the BSC memecoin sector.
The Solana ecosystem maintained its strength. PONKE (Ponke) climbed 104% this week, supported by rising community engagement and expanding trading volume, making it a flagship asset within the SOL memecoin space. BONK (Bonk) advanced 44%, while BOME (Book of Meme) gained 37%, signaling continued development potential for Solana-based memecoins.
Other ecosystems also posted notable gains. On Ethereum, leading memecoin PEPE rose 64%. On TRON, memecoin SUNDOG (Sundog) increased 39% over the week. Within the Base ecosystem, BRETT (Brett) recorded a 43% weekly gain. These moves underscore that both the royal public chains and the emerging Layer2 networks continue to attract capital under the memecoin narrative.
AI Sector: Selective Recovery Led by the Base Ecosystem
While memecoins drove short-term retail sentiment, the AI sector experienced a "structural recovery," with strength concentrated primarily within the Base ecosystem.
GAMEBASE (Game by Virtuals) surged 60% during the week. As an AI agent gaming framework supported by Virtuals, GAME attracted attention at the intersection of AI, blockchain gaming, and application-layer narratives. Meanwhile, VIRTUAL (Virtuals Protocol) rose 40%, driven by its positioning as an AI and Metaverse protocol focused on virtual interaction. Overall, AI assets exhibited a structural recovery rather than a sentiment-driven surge. While short-term momentum lagged memecoins, AI assets continue to hold mid-term allocation value within broader narrative cycles.

HTX Listing Strategy: Multi-Sector Coverage with a Value-Oriented Focus
The market performance this week followed a clear "sentiment-first, memecoin-led" pattern. With strong consensus, rapid dissemination, and high volatility, memecoins became the primary short-term destination for capital. At the same time, assets from the narrative-driven sectors such as AI showed selective recovery across specific chains, offering diversified opportunities.

HTX Hot Listings Weekly Recap (Dec 29 - Jan 4): PEPE Leads Memecoin Frenzy as Multi-Chain Memecoins Surge
HTX Hot Listings Weekly Recap (Dec 29 - Jan 4): PEPE Leads Memecoin Frenzy as Multi-Chain Memecoins Surge
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Guide Sensmart (Booth 21740, Central Hall), a global leader in thermal imaging technology, officially launched its next-generation thermal imaging innovation – ApexVision – alongside a series of new products empowered by the technology. This launch represents a systemic leap for the industry from merely "seeing heat" to "seeing with clarity, precision, and intelligence," marking the dawn of a new era defined by Ultra-Clarity.
CES Show Floor Reaction: "Ultra-Clarity" Draws Deep Engagement
At the Guide Sensmart booth, live product demonstrations powered by ApexVision attracted strong attention from industry analysts to global media. Hands-on comparisons—such as maintaining clear imaging details of distant targets and delivering crisp, smear-free imaging of fast-moving objects—earned consistent praise. Many professional visitors noted that this reliable "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" clarity would directly enhance operational efficiency and decision-making confidence.
ApexVision integrating both hardware and software: It combines the high-sensitivity ApexCore S1 detector, the Nexus 1.0 processing platform, and scenario-optimized algorithms. Together, ApexVision successfully overcomes persistent challenges such as low contrast in complex environments, detail loss at long range or high magnification, motion blur on fast-moving objects, and inaccurate detection of minute temperature differences.
From Architecture to Application: A Full Portfolio Empowered
On the CES show floor, Guide Sensmart demonstrated how ApexVision delivers tangible improvements across thermal devices. Thermography tools (e.g. E3S, H6S thermal cameras) leverage the SharpIR 2.0 algorithm to provide stable, accurate temperature measurement in demanding environments, enabling inspectors to pinpoint hidden faults with greater confidence. Outdoor hunting optics (e.g. TD650LS monocular and TN650MS binocular), benefit from Hyper-Light 2.0, allowing users to identify nocturnal wildlife in complete darkness and track fast-moving targets while maintaining clean, sharp images even at 10× zoom.
"The launch of ApexVision marks a milestone where our vertically integrated technology development translates into real value for users," said a Guide Sensmart spokesperson. "It is more than a set of specifications—it delivers the certainty of Ultra-Clarity to every professional user."
The debut of ApexVision at CES 2026 signifies more than a routine product update. By resolving long-standing trade-offs between sensitivity, stability, and environmental robustness, Guide Sensmart is advancing thermal imaging into the Ultra-Clarity Era, building a clearer, safer, and more efficient future.
We are keen to explore partnership of collaboration with you. Know more about Guide Sensmart at https://www.guideir.com.
