Catenaa, Sunday, July 27, 2025-HTX DAO has officially launched its “Token Listing and Delisting Governance by Recommendation” mechanism, marking a pivotal shift from peripheral community input to deep governance involvement in the platform’s core asset management.
The new system empowers $HTX token holders to recommend, discuss, and vote on tokens for listing or removal on the HTX Exchange.
This transition enhances transparency and fairness by aligning token listings with community consensus while enforcing clear criteria to exclude illiquid, risky, or non-compliant assets.
As the exchange’s core utility token, $HTX benefits directly from this governance model.
Half of the platform’s quarterly revenue is allocated to buy back and burn $HTX, linking trading activity and token scarcity.
Popular tokens recommended by the DAO could also gain access to Launchpool, HTX Earn, Futures, and other ecosystem utilities, amplifying $HTX’s value.
The governance framework introduces incentives for active participants. Voters and recommenders of successfully listed tokens may earn fee cashback, point rewards, and future access to whitelists and airdrops, fostering sustained engagement.
On-chain governance records will support a forthcoming “governance credit system,” further integrating community participation.
HTX DAO’s initiative represents a broader industry trend of decentralizing decision-making power traditionally held by exchanges.
By embedding the DAO into the platform’s governance ecosystem alongside exchange operators and project teams, HTX aims to enhance operational transparency, reduce token manipulation, and strengthen user trust.
The move underscores the growing real-world utility of DAOs beyond DeFi and NFTs, signaling their potential to reshape centralized exchange governance and boost platform quality and efficiency.
