Panama City, Panama, November 24th, 2025, Chainwire
Driven by favorable macroeconomic factors and shifting market narratives, significant rallies swept across the BTCFi, AI, L2, DEX, and memecoin sectors this November. Amidst this momentum, HTX’s curated listing program, "HTX Select," delivered exceptional performance, validating its core strategy of "Rapid Discovery, Rigorous Vetting."
Six projects posted gains exceeding 100%, with SOON, GIGGLE, and BANK all doubling that threshold to surpass 200%. Below, we analyze the key assets across six major sectors, highlighting the investment thesis behind HTX’s selection methodology.
Privacy Sector’s Rise: ZEC and DASH Re-Emerge with Long-Term Value
Privacy assets benefited from converging compliance and decentralization narratives. ZEC and DASH have maintained deep accumulation on the HTX platform, continuously contributing stable trading volumes. This resilience underscores the effectiveness of HTX’s strategy to support classic assets and category leaders
- ZEC (Zcash) +160.9%: As one of the world’s earliest zero-knowledge privacy chains, Zcash utilizes zk-SNARKs to ensure end-to-end privacy. Regarded as the "gold standard" for privacy, ZEC continues to provide essential infrastructure for on-chain protection as demand for compliant Web3 privacy payments grows.
- DASH (Dash) +265.9%: Built on the Bitcoin codebase, Dash is a pioneer in anonymous payments. Leveraging a masternode network for instant transactions, it remains a critical infrastructure for privacy payments, maintaining strong use cases in regions like Latin America.
BTCFi: A Top Growth Engine
Bitcoin DeFi (BTCFi) has established itself as a dominant incremental market outside of Ethereum DeFi in 2025. HTX’s timely listing of BANK proves its ability to capture trending narratives.
- BANK (Lorenzo Protocol) +248.5%: As a rapidly rising native protocol in the BTCFi ecosystem, Lorenzo acts as a financial layer designed to tokenize Bitcoin staking.
Layer 2 (L2) remains a high-conviction sector for 2025. HTX’s listing pace closely mirrors mainstream L2 expansion, ensuring users access new opportunities immediately.
- SOON +849.2%: The month’s top performer, Soon is a lightweight L2 optimized for instant quotes, low-cost execution, and seamless contract deployment. Its explosive growth is driven by a combination of high product usability and memecoin-grade community energy.
- STRK (Starknet) +130%: Built on STARK zero-knowledge proofs, Starknet remains an industry-leading Ethereum ZK Rollup solution. Its high performance and steadily expanding developer ecosystem continually reinforce its position as a robust L2 infrastructure.
- MET (Meteora) +75.8%: As a core Solana-based liquidity protocol, Meteora is recognized for its dynamic position management and capital-efficient AMM (Automated Market Maker) capabilities.
- ASTER (Aster) +53.8%: As a next-gen perpetual futures DEX, Aster emphasizes low slippage and lightweight matching. Following its listing on HTX, the protocol saw a rapid surge in trading activity and capital efficiency.
- VIRTUAL (Virtuals Protocol) +133.8%: Building an autonomous intelligent economy, Virtuals enables the creation of tradable, interactive AI agents. Fueled by the broader AI sector rally and the rise of the x402 ecosystem, its developer community continues to expand aggressively.
- BSC Memecoins: GIGGLE (Giggle Fund) soared 301.5%, going viral with its exaggerated visuals and carnival-like atmosphere, establishing itself as a standout emotional asset on BSC. Meanwhile, BINANCELIFE rose 66.7%, driven by short-form video trends and strong Chinese community engagement. Both assets exemplify the power of community-driven, traffic-based momentum.
