According to EmberCN on Twitter, crypto data provider Kaiko released its 2025 Q2 spot exchange research, ranking HTX as the 8th largest spot CEX among 45 exchanges, up two positions from the previous quarter (source: kaiko.com/indices/exchange-rankings). Additional data from Coingecko’s April 2025 report further highlights HTX’s spot trading growth. For traders, HTX’s improved ranking and rising trading activity signal increased liquidity and potentially tighter spreads, making it a more attractive venue for spot crypto trades. This upward momentum may lead to greater competition among top exchanges, influencing overall crypto market depth and volatility (source: Coingecko 2025 Q2 report).

According to @ThinkingUSD, all major market makers such as Jump and HRT are actively trading on the Hyperliquid platform, with some firms reportedly executing hundreds of billions in trading volume over the past 12 months (source: @ThinkingUSD, Twitter, May 30, 2025). However, Hyperliquid Protocol (HLP) volumes account for less than 2% of the total exchange volume, indicating that while institutional participation is high, the overall market share remains limited. For traders, this signals increased liquidity and potential for tighter spreads on Hyperliquid, but highlights the need to monitor market depth and volume distribution across exchanges for optimal trading strategies.
