Huoxun Finance News, January 15th - According to an official announcement from HTXDAO, the Q4 2025 $HTX token burn 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, HTXDAO has cumulatively burned 99.49 trillion $HTX tokens, nearly 10% of the total issuance, with a total value of approximately $186 million. Despite the relatively sluggish overall market conditions in Q4, 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 indicates that the platform will continue to firmly implement the quarterly burn mechanism, continuously enhancing the value support and ecosystem confidence of $HTX through long-term, transparent deflationary arrangements.

Huoxun Finance reported on January 15th that, according to CoinDesk, the NCAA has sent a letter to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) requesting a suspension of prediction market trading related to college sports. The NCAA argues that these prediction markets function essentially as sports betting, but circumvent the age restrictions, advertising constraints, and integrity monitoring required of licensed sports betting organizations. Currently, college sports-related contracts traded on Polymarket have reached approximately $320 million. The association is concerned that these markets, allowing users aged 18 and older, could attract college students and even athletes themselves; prediction contracts targeting individual athletes could potentially induce coercion and harassment, posing a "catastrophic" risk to student-athletes and the entire college sports ecosystem.
