HTX Identifies Top Performers in Crypto Gem Hunt #6
In a market dominated by uncertainty and price swings, HTX is leaning into precision and potential. On June 10, 2025, the global crypto exchange launched the sixth round of its Crypto Gem Hunt, highlighting seven standout digital assets that are making waves across various sectors. With Bitcoin hovering between $100,000 and $110,000, HTX is using this moment to spotlight promising projects that have not only demonstrated resilience but are also riding significant waves of community support and sectoral innovation.
This latest phase of Crypto Gem Hunt draws from a wide range of categories—RWA/DeFi, AI, Meme, LSD, and SocialFi—offering investors a curated mix of emerging and established tokens with strong upward potential.
New Listings Reflect Expanding Sector Priorities
HTX continues to expand its listings, with 23 new assets added in May alone, including six stablecoins. Among them, USD1 made a global debut on HTX. Issued by World Liberty Financial, a firm backed by the Trump family, USD1 aims to develop a DeFi lending ecosystem focused in the U.S. The token quickly became a hot topic on social media and earned an S rating, marking it as one of the most-watched new entries of the month.
Another standout is SYRUP, the native token of Maple Finance, a decentralized lending platform operating in the RWA/DeFi space. Since its May 8 listing, SYRUP surged 117.7%, receiving an A rating. The token functions by allowing users to deposit USDC and earn yield through syrupUSDC, with all loans backed by digital collateral.
In the rapidly evolving AI sector, KAITO has emerged as a key contender. Listed on February 23, the AI-powered information platform has since grown 263.6% and earned an A rating. KAITO is building an intelligent crypto content network designed to streamline the distribution of information between creators, users, and investors—positioning itself squarely at the intersection of blockchain and artificial intelligence.
Veteran Tokens Reignite Interest with Renewed Growth
Beyond the newcomers, HTX’s Crypto Gem Hunt #6 also pays attention to older tokens that are finding new life. These projects, launched months or even years earlier, are demonstrating that strong fundamentals and engaged communities can still drive powerful momentum in a crowded field.
MOODENG, a Meme token built on the Solana blockchain, has become a surprise success. Launched in September 2024, MOODENG is themed around a popular pygmy hippopotamus from Thailand. Its quirky branding, viral presence, and energetic community helped it skyrocket by 961.5%, securing an A rating and solidifying its place among the top-performing Meme assets.
Another notable veteran is NEIROCTO—“First Neiro on Ethereum”—which also debuted in September 2024. Inspired by the spirit of Dogecoin and driven by community enthusiasm, NEIROCTO achieved a peak increase of 235%. Its strategy revolves around consistent engagement through content and operational development.
LSD and SocialFi Projects Prove Long-Term Viability
Interest in LSD (Liquid Staking Derivatives) remains strong, and ETHFI (ether.fi) is one of the leading names in the space. Launched in March 2024, ETHFI has risen 258.7%, buoyed by growing institutional and retail interest in Ethereum-based staking solutions. Its success suggests that LSD-focused protocols continue to offer attractive returns and reliability within the decentralized finance landscape.
In the SocialFi realm, MASK (Mask Network) is reasserting itself. Although it launched back in 2021, MASK has recently gained 187.3%, thanks to ongoing feature rollouts and sustained community growth. The project aims to bridge Web2 and Web3 by allowing users to run decentralized applications directly within traditional social platforms using a browser plugin—making Web3 more accessible to mainstream users.
A Balanced Approach to Crypto Discovery
According to HTX, the goal of Crypto Gem Hunt is not just to follow hype but to help users discover undervalued or high-performing assets through data-backed, forward-looking analysis. By mixing rising newcomers with seasoned tokens that have found renewed energy, HTX is curating an investment landscape that offers both defensive stability and high-upside opportunities.
This strategy reflects HTX’s broader mission. Since its founding in 2013, HTX has expanded from a cryptocurrency exchange into a global blockchain ecosystem offering services in asset trading, derivatives, research, investment, and incubation. Its continued focus on compliance, security, and innovation places it among the leading gateways into the Web3 world.
Looking Ahead: Continued Innovation in Asset Discovery
As the sixth edition of the Crypto Gem Hunt rolls out, HTX remains committed to guiding users through the complex terrain of digital assets. Each round of the program reflects not only short-term trends but long-term growth narratives based on community, technology, and market alignment.
“HTX Crypto Gem Hunt will continue to empower users through professional, intuitive asset discovery supported by robust data and forward-looking analysis,” the exchange stated.
With macroeconomic pressures, shifting regulations, and evolving investor behavior continuing to shape the market, programs like HTX’s Crypto Gem Hunt may provide a helpful compass in navigating the digital asset frontier.
