HTX New Asset Listings Weekly Review (6.22-6.28): AAVE Weekly Gain Over 30%, Leading DeFi Sector

Over the past week (June 22 to June 28), the crypto market overall maintained a pattern of high-level consolidation, with Bitcoin consolidating under pressure near $60,000 and market sentiment turning cautious. Although mainstream coins were briefly quiet, structural opportunities have quietly emerged—the DeFi sector woke up from the silence first, with multiple head protocol tokens showing significant independent performance this week. According to Huobi HTX platform data, blue-chip assets such as AAVE, DYDX, and JTO strengthened alternately; AI sector heat continued, with MANTA and BEAT remaining strong; meanwhile, the Solana ecosystem reactivated, and SOL became one of the best-performing large-cap assets this week.

DeFi Sector: Protocol Value Returns, Blue-Chip Leaders Collectively Revalued

The most standout performance this week was the DeFi sector. Driven by the dual forces of continuous accumulation of on-chain liquidity and steady growth in protocol revenue, the DeFi sector as a whole ushered in a round of value repair rally, with multiple core targets achieving considerable weekly gains.

AAVE（Aave Protocol）: Weekly gain reached 31%, leading similar large-cap DeFi assets. As the absolute leader of decentralized lending protocols, Aave protocol's TVL (Total Value Locked) has long ranked at the forefront of the industry. It is worth noting that the token buyback plan previously advanced by the protocol (weekly buyback scale of about $1 million) continues to release positive signals, and the market's logic for mid-to-long-term value revaluation of Aave is becoming increasingly clear.

GWEI（ETHGas）: Up 63% this week. As a DeFi protocol focused on the Ethereum ecosystem infrastructure layer, GWEI benefited from the recovery of Ethereum network activity and growth in on-chain interaction demand, bringing direct traffic and fee capture capabilities.

DYDX（dYdX）: A benchmark project in the on-chain perpetual contracts sector, up 26% this week. As on-chain derivatives trading demand gradually recovers, DYDX, relying on its mature order book model and deep liquidity, continues to attract institutional-level users to participate.

XPL（Plasma）: Up 26%. As an emerging protocol target in the DeFi ecosystem, Plasma is a Layer 1 EVM-compatible blockchain built specifically for high-volume, low-cost global stablecoin payments.

JTO（Jito）: Weekly gain reached 23%, the logic behind is highly related to the overall recovery of the Solana ecosystem. JTO, as a liquid staking protocol under the Solana ecosystem, benefited from the obvious warming of SOL on-chain activity—especially the reactivation of the Solana on-chain Meme ecosystem this week, driving bidirectional expansion of staking demand and on-chain capital liquidity.

AI Sector and Solana Ecosystem Continue to Heat Up, SOL Leads Mainstream Assets

AI remains one of the most sustainable hot sectors in this market cycle. With sub-directions such as AI Agents, decentralized computing power, and AI infrastructure continuously evolving, the fusion of AI and Web3 is expected to become one of the key focus directions of the market in the second half of the year.

MANTA（Manta Network）: Weekly gain reached 93%. MANTA, relying on the dual positioning of modular Layer2 and AI computing infrastructure, continuously attracts the attention of technology-driven capital. This week, MANTA-related ecosystem dynamics were released intensively, continuously promoting integration work with AI computing power protocols, and narrative heat significantly improved.

BEAT（Audiera）: Up 70% this week. Audiera pioneered an agent-native participatory economic model on the BNB chain: humans and autonomous AI agents as equal participants.

At the same time, the Solana ecosystem was also active this week. SOL（Solana） up 2% this week, performing at the forefront among mainstream market cap assets. Over the past year, Solana, relying on high performance, low fees, and a mature developer ecosystem, continuously attracts a large number of users and capital. Recently, Solana on-chain Meme trading heat has obviously recovered, and new project issuance count and on-chain activity continue to grow. SOL as the core asset of the ecosystem is expected to continue benefiting from the overall prosperity of the ecosystem.
