HTX Hot Listings Weekly Recap (Aug 17-23): Meme & DeFi Tokens Lead Rallies as Policy and Liquidity Outlooks Brighten
Last week, the crypto market broke out of a months-long slump, with August 19 marking a major turning point. On that day, U.S. President Trump convened a White House meeting with crypto executives, regulators, and traditional finance representatives, publicly urging Congress to advance digital asset legislation. Concurrently, the U.S. Treasury also announced that it would at least double the maximum size of each liquidity-support buyback operation for long-term Treasuries, from $2 billion to $4 billion. As policy and liquidity expectations improved in tandem, the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield fell by approximately 9 basis points, supporting a broad-based rally in risk assets, with Bitcoin surging more than 8% within 12 hours.
