From Blockchain to Space: HTX Leads GM Vietnam 2025, Justin Sun’s New Web3 Journey Takes Flight
HTX, a renowned global crypto exchange, has made a significant impression at GM Vietnam 2025 – Vietnam Blockchain Week, held from August 1-2, 2025. As the proud sponsor of the Business Networking Zone, HTX showcased its forward-looking global strategy and reinforced its position as a key influencer in the Web3 industry.
During a pivotal panel discussion titled “Stablecoin – The Most Viable Use Case for Crypto Adoption,” Alec Goh, Head of HTX Ventures, was featured as a key speaker. Alec emphasized the rapid evolution of stablecoins, noting that their market capitalization has surged to over $250 billion – an astonishing 60% increase this year. Driven by growing regulatory clarity in countries like the U.S. and active participation from traditional institutions, stablecoins are transcending their role as crypto-native tools to become fundamental components of global financial infrastructure.
The rise of stablecoins marks the early stages of mainstream adoption. He further elaborated that in key sectors such as on-chain credit, Real World Assets (RWA), and cross-border trade, stablecoins serve as the essential layer for value settlement and liquidity within digital financial infrastructure.
“The future is not a binary choice between centralized and decentralized systems but a blend of compliance and composability,” Alec emphasized. “Legal frameworks and on-chain technology will evolve together, enabling global scalability while preserving crypto’s core principles. Ultimately, whether a system is centralized or decentralized matters less than its ability to meet user needs. If decentralized transactions continue to deliver greater value, the market will naturally gravitate towards them.”
HTX made another significant appearance at GM Vietnam 2025 with an exclusive “Web3 Future Night” cocktail party, presented by HTX and hosted by ChainCatcher. This high-profile event brought together a distinguished crowd including top local project teams, leading investors, influential KOLs, and core community members.
Industry-leading partners, such as SoSoValue, Bifrost, TRADOOR, TRON , SunPump, and RootData actively participated in this event, fostering an extraordinary networking opportunity. By hosting the “Web3 Future Night,” HTX reinforced its commitment to bolstering the Vietnamese crypto community and driving the ongoing development of the global Web3 ecosystem.
Justin Sun Becomes Youngest Chinese Commercial Astronaut
During Vietnam Blockchain Week, Justin Sun, Advisor to HTX, made history by successfully completing a suborbital flight aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard spacecraft. The mission took approximately 10 minutes, offering an extraordinary zero-gravity experience before safely returning to the landing site in Texas. With this groundbreaking achievement, he became the youngest Chinese commercial astronaut in history.
Following his historic journey, Justin stated in an interview that “this was my first commitment and initial step towards space and there will be more to come in the future.” His accomplishment reflects not only his unwavering spirit of exploration but also HTX’s unrelenting pursuit as a pioneering force in the global Web3 space.
