During ETHDenver 2024, HTX Ventures attended the event and exclusively sponsored the Zen Zone. This highlights HTX’s close observation of how technological advancements drive the growth and innovation of Ethereum and its ecosystem, while remaining committed to advancing Web3 infrastructure and ecosystem development. In doing so, HTX Ventures supports the next generation of Web3 enterprises and contributes to the development of the HTX ecosystem.
HTX Ventures, the global investment arm of HTX, adopts a strategy of direct investment and fund investment, having invested in over 200 projects in 2023. These projects span various fields, including infrastructure, DeFi, RWA, L1 & L2 public chain ecosystems, SocialFi, NFTs, and education. Seeking to explore emerging business models within the industry, it offers comprehensive support to collaborative projects, including financing, resources, and strategic consulting, to foster the growth of the blockchain ecosystem.
HTX and HTX Ventures view Ethereum as a vast ecosystem that supports a wide array of applications. Its emphasis on scalability, privacy, and decentralized governance is poised to drive Ethereum towards its vision of becoming a decentralized platform for the new era of digital interaction and collaboration.
In HTX Ventures’ research report, “Layer2: Status and Trends,” it is highlighted that the year 2023 witnessed a major reshuffling in the landscape of new public chains. It’s highly unlikely for new public chain projects to replace Ethereum’s dominant position in the blockchain space. However, a Layer 2 project, capable of attracting funds, users, and developers from Ethereum, outperforms new public chain projects in bear markets. Layer 2 not only solidifies Ethereum’s position but also acts as a catalyst, boosting the value of ETH.
HTX Ventures also noted that decentralized sequencers represent one of the solutions to address security and fairness issues in Layer 2 networks. Furthermore, the upcoming EIP-4844 is expected to further reduce the cost of Layer 2 Rollups, thereby promoting the adoption of Layer 2 projects. Consequently, the Layer 2 sector has the potential to emerge as a catalyst for the next bull market.
Furthermore, HTX Ventures emphasizes that many projects within the Ethereum ecosystem have yet to launch their tokens. The potential for wealth creation in these projects may extend into the next bull market, attracting widespread attention from users and investors. Additionally, in 2024, the Web3 sector is poised for deep integration, improved regulatory adaptability, and a trend towards maturity. This will facilitate the gradual implementation of interoperability between chains and ecosystems, driving the cryptocurrency market towards maturity and mainstream adoption. Moving forward, HTX and HTX Ventures are dedicated to closely monitoring the innovation and development of the Ethereum ecosystem, while continuously advancing investment and project incubation to nurture the next generation of Web3 enterprises.
