HTX Outperforms Industry Peers at the Start of 2026, Leveraging Disciplined Listing Strategies to Capture "Smart Money" Inflows

PANAMA CITY, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2025, amid heightened volatility and widening dispersion across sectors, HTX delivered a strategy that is both measurable and repeatable: smart listings are defined by timing, judgment, and risk discipline working together to create realizable returns for users.

HTX Outperformed on Securable Returns

A review of HTX's newly listed assets in 2025 shows the platform listed 166 new assets over the year, spanning AI, memecoin, Layer1/Layer2, RWA, stablecoins, and DeFi. 96 assets recorded post-listing gains exceeding 100%, while 9 surged more than 1,000%. The top performer, PIPPIN, achieved a peak increase of 9,500%.

HTX's competitive edge lies not in headline returns, but in the time window available to ordinary users to access those assets.

In 2025, 17.47% of new listings on HTX achieved gains of more than 20% within seven days of listing, ranking No.1 among peer top-tier exchanges. 

Time as Alpha: Why Early Participation Matters

One thing has remained constant at HTX in listing: in the crypto space, time itself is a source of return.

AI: Advancing Timeline by Entire Cycle

In early 2025, AI Agent and DeFAI narratives began to emerge. Between January 18 and January 28, just eleven days, HTX listed 11 AI-related projects, including NEUR, BUZZ, AVAAI, PIPPIN, ARC, GAMEBASE, AI16Z, GRIFFAIN, ELIZAOS, SWARMS, and DEGENAI. Nearly all were initial listings or extremely early-stage listings.

While the broader market was still debating whether AI would become a primary narrative, HTX had already completed a structural deployment. This allowed users to position ahead of consensus formation, rather than chasing momentum at peak sentiment.

Beating Market Is About Positioning, Not Prediction

Throughout the year, 18 assets were listed on HTX ahead of other major exchanges, including PLUME, BANK, BIGTIME, USD1, and TRUMP. When the market consensus was formed, HTX users were already positioned with existing holdings

This advantage was particularly evident in the following BSC ecosystem assets:

• DONKEY was listed before widespread discussion in the market, later surging 6,811%
• M benefited from early structural positioning and continuous marketing after listing, delivering a maximum increase of 4,186%
• ASTER, first listed on HTX among CEXs, it rose 340% before broader recognition
• Binance Life, marking HTX one of the earliest CEXs to support the Chinese memecoins, it was listed before narrative expansion and achieved a 438% surge

These were not arbitrary listings in their early stages. Each was supported by sustained monitoring of on-chain data, community activity, and capital flows. 

Smart Timing Also Means Knowing When Not to List

A disciplined listing strategy does not equate to being first at all costs. Sometimes, waiting or delaying a launch is more responsible for users. Certain projects may not be suitable for participation on their debut day, yet remain valuable once the timing is right.

For instance, many VC-backed tokens face heavy selling pressure during initial unlock periods. By anticipating the convergence of high supply and shorting sentiment, HTX often chooses to list only after the market has completed its hand-over and confirmed the project's resilience. The subsequent price rallies often validate the wisdom of this strategic delay.

Deconstructing HTX Listing Strategy

Looking back at 2025, the principle of "listing whatever is trending," as highlighted by Justin Sun, Advisor to HTX, formed the foundational logic of the platform's asset strategy, which has consistently evolved around three core questions:. 

Firstly, is it early enough? True momentum often emerges before consensus. HTX advances the timeline by tracking on-chain data, community engagement, and capital structure ahead of narrative breakouts.

Secondly, is the judgment accurate? Among trending assets, HTX prioritizes sustainability over noise, filtering out structurally imbalanced or purely emotional trades.

Thirdly, is the strategy user-centric? The purpose of listing is not traffic, but realizable participation for users. Through early positioning, staged observation, and risk filtering, hot narratives are converted into actionable opportunities.

HTX's listing strategy speaks for itself. As 2026 unfolds, HTX is partnering with its global users to navigate volatility and capture long-term upside across market cycles.

HTX Outperforms Industry Peers at the Start of 2026, Leveraging Disciplined Listing Strategies to Capture "Smart Money" Inflows

2026 SEAL Sustainable Product Award winner IrriSense 2 brings smart, multi-zone irrigation to spring lawn care – designed to cut water use by up to 40%

ATLANTA, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aiper, the world's No.1 smart robotic pool cleaner brand^[1] and leader in smart yard innovation, is bringing its 2026 SEAL Sustainable Product Award-winning IrriSense 2 smart irrigation system to market. The recognition underscores the measurable impact and purpose-built approach to sustainability behind the IrriSense 2. Designed to deliver precision, sustainability, and simplicity in one integrated solution, IrriSense 2 replaces traditional irrigation systems with an intelligent, easy-to-install ecosystem that conserves water while promoting healthier landscapes.

Unlike conventional irrigation systems that rely on underground hardware, fixed timers, and professional installation, IrriSense 2 delivers a complete irrigation ecosystem in a single device that installs in just 15 minutes, making it easier for homeowners to get their yards ready for spring. At its core, IrriSense 2 is the world's first 4-in-1 multi-zone smart irrigation system, replacing the controller, rotor sprinklers, electric valve, and nutrient feeder with one connected solution.

Water-Saving Precision Irrigation Designed for Every Yard

As lawns emerge from winter dormancy and gardens prepare for new growth, IrriSense 2 enables homeowners to manage up to ten independent watering zones, tailoring irrigation plans based on specific plant types and landscape needs. Through plant-specific irrigation mapping, users can control watering depth, frequency, and schedules for each zone, ensuring efficient hydration without overwatering.

To support this level of precision across the entire yard, the system delivers EvenRain™ coverage across up to 445 square meters, simulating natural rainfall to create a soft, uniform water curtain designed to protect soil and newly planted seeds while eliminating dry patches and reducing runoff. TÜV-certified pressure stability ensures consistent performance while maximizing absorption and minimizing waste.

Powered by Aiper's Weather-Sense™ Response System, IrriSense 2 uses real-time weather intelligence to automatically adjust irrigation. If rain is forecast, watering is delayed, while periods of extreme heat trigger increased irrigation only where needed. A built-in rain sensor detects unexpected precipitation and stops irrigation automatically, helping homeowners achieve up to 40% water savings compared to traditional irrigation.

Smart Control from a Simple Setup

Simple installation designed for homeowners - no tools, trenching, or wiring required. Users simply snap the modules together, connect to Wi-Fi, map their yard in the Aiper app, and the system is ready in fifteen minutes. The app serves as the irrigation command center, offering intelligent scheduling, real-time water tracking, zone-level insights, and remote control from anywhere. Users can manage irrigation while traveling or allow the system to operate autonomously for a truly hands-free experience.

Engineered for year-round durability, IrriSense 2 is built on an Engineered Resilience Framework, featuring UV-resistant housing, freeze-safe drainage, corrosion-resistant copper fittings, and quiet operation under 60 decibels, ensuring long-term performance in all conditions.

Award-Winning Innovation and Sustainability Leadership

Presented by the SEAL Awards, which recognize products designed to deliver real environmental progress, the honor reflects the ability of IrriSense 2 to reduce water waste through intelligent design, precision control, and adaptive, real-time decision-making, demonstrating that sustainability can be achieved through smarter engineering rather than added complexity.

In addition to the 2026 SEAL Sustainable Product Award win, the IrriSense 2 has earned significant industry recognition for its innovation, design, and sustainability impact. Honors include:

• Digital Trends Publisher Awards – CES 2026
• Gadgety Awards Best of CES Honoree 2026
• Netzwelt Innovation Awards 2026 Honoree
• PC Welt Best of CES 2026
• Reviewed Best Tech Product Awards
• Techlicious Editor's Choice – CES 2026

Aiper's leadership in sustainable design began with the first-generation IrriSense, which received the IDEA Design Bronze Award for excellence in product design. That recognition reflects a sustainability-driven design philosophy that continues with the IrriSense 2. The first- generation IrriSense was also honored with a CES Innovation Award in 2025, establishing the IrriSense line as a leader in smart irrigation.

IrriSense 2 is available for purchase starting today at $499.99 on Aiper.com and Amazon.com.
