New Listings Surge! HTX Weekly Recap (June 15–21): Newly Listed RE and O Prices Double Upon Debut While DeFi Emerges as the Dominant Market Narrative
Over the past week, the crypto market exhibited a volatile and divergent trend, driven by shifting expectations regarding Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Bitcoin briefly dipped below the $64,000 mark and Ethereum lost the $1,800 level, causing market sentiment to temporarily pivot toward a defensive posture. However, macroeconomic policy uncertainties failed to disrupt the structural positioning of on-chain capital, with the DeFi, BTCFi, and infrastructure sectors recapturing significant investor attention. According to data from the HTX platform, several popular assets reached recent highs between June 15 and June 21, led by BICO with a staggering 231% weekly gain, while newly listed tokens RE and O both delivered over 100% returns on debut.
