PANews reported on January 15th that, according to an official announcement from HTX DAO, the burning of $HTX tokens in the fourth quarter of 2025 was successfully completed on January 14th, 2026. On-chain data shows that a total of 13,616,371,495,327.31 $HTX tokens were burned, with a total value exceeding $23.31 million. To date, HTX DAO has cumulatively burned 99.49 trillion $HTX tokens, nearly 10% of the total issuance, with a total value of approximately $186 million.
Despite a relatively sluggish overall market in the fourth quarter, the scale of this burn still represents a 36.4% year-on-year increase compared to the same period in 2024. This demonstrates that Huobi HTX has maintained robust revenue capabilities, providing a solid foundation for the continuation and implementation of the $HTX quarterly burn mechanism.
The official statement indicated that the platform will continue to firmly implement the quarterly burn mechanism, and through long-term, transparent deflationary arrangements, continuously enhance the value support and ecosystem confidence of $HTX.

BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate. BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
