Fact Check
The GlobeNewswire official press release explicitly states HTX DAO destroyed 7.47 trillion tokens in Q2 2026 and that H1 2026 burns totaled over $32.82 million, matching the claim exactly. The official HTX DAO X account (@HTX_DAO) independently confirms the 7.47 trillion figure with an on-chain burn transaction link. Independent crypto news coverage (cryptonews.net) further corroborates the numbers. The tying of burns to platform activity, user growth, and ecosystem development is also directly reflected in the press release.

Summary

HTX DAO said it completed its second-quarter 2026 $HTX token burn on July 15, removing 7,474,935,439,560 tokens valued at more than $13.6 million from circulation. The organization said cumulative burned and pledged $HTX has now reached 117.79 trillion tokens, backed by on-chain burn proofs. Combined with the first-quarter burn of 10.83 trillion $HTX valued at more than $19.22 million, HTX DAO said first-half 2026 burns totaled more than $32.82 million. The group framed the latest burn as notable against a weaker market backdrop marked by tighter liquidity, softer trading activity and shifting macro sentiment. It said HTX's first-half data showed cumulative registered users of 59.49 million, total trading volume approaching $90 million and support for more than 612 trading pairs, which it presented as the operating base supporting continued token deflation. HTX DAO also pointed to ecosystem expansion as a longer-term driver of $HTX demand beyond supply reduction alone. It said the HTX Genesis Hackathon, co-hosted by HTX DAO and B.AI and co-organized by TinTinLand, has entered its final stage with a 20,000 USDT prize pool and more than $100,000 in computing power resources, attracting over 200 developer teams focused on areas including $HTX utility, AI agent finance, on-chain asset management, DAO tools and smart financial operating systems.
