HTX Hot Listings Weekly Recap (May 18–24): New Listing ZEST Surges 131%! Privacy Sector Stages a Comeback, AI Narrative Continues to Gain Traction
The third week of May saw a long-awaited rebound in profit-making momentum sweep across the crypto market. With Bitcoin oscillating within a key range, the ensuing sentiment spillover energized the altcoin market. Three dominant narratives defined this week’s price action: privacy coins, led by ZEC, staged a broad-based rally amid incrementally improving regulatory expectations; the Perp DEX narrative, spearheaded by HYPE, continued to attract sustained capital inflows; and NEAR carved out an independent run, backed by solid AI infrastructure fundamentals. According to HTX platform data, top-performing assets over the past week (May 18–24) spanned multiple core sectors — including privacy, AI, DeFi, and Perp DEX — with the newly listed ZEST emerging as the week’s standout dark horse, posting a staggering 131% gain.
