HTX Publishes Hot Listings Weekly Recap (Oct 20-26): Top Gainer Surges 222% Amid Multi-Sector Growth Led by Memecoin and GameFi - Chainwire

Panama City, Panama, October 31st, 2025, Chainwire

Over the past week, the crypto market has entered a phase of renewed volatility. While major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum saw limited breakout momentum, risk appetite rebounded across sectors such as memecoin, GameFi, and AI, driving impressive secondary market rallies. 

As a global leading digital asset trading platform, HTX captured this momentum with a diversified range of listings. The week’s top 10 gainers spanned memecoin, GameFi, Base AI, DeFi, and Privacy sectors, with the leading token soaring by 222%. This strengthens the platform’s role as a hub for emerging opportunities.

AI Agents on Base Blockchain Ignite Smart Economy

This year, the “AI + Blockchain” narrative continues to dominate popularity in the crypto space. Base, Ethereum’s Layer 2 powerhouse, is at the center of the new AI revolution. 

• GAME (GAME by Virtuals): Up 167%. As an AI agent token within the Virtuals Protocol ecosystem, it is designed for on-chain business and generative service applications. GAME climbed from $0.013 to $0.034, fueled by Base network upgrades and renewed enthusiasm for AI narratives.
• VIRTUAL (Virtuals Protocol): Up 80%. The native token of the Virtuals protocol, rose 80% to $1.45, benefiting from heightened attention following the Base x402 protocol announcement that reignited interest in AI-driven economies.

These performances mark a clear inflection point that the Base AI ecosystem is evolving from conceptual potential to tangible opportunity.

Hot Token Listing Winners——10.20-10.26 2025

Memecoin Sector: Viral Momentum Keeps the Party Going

As the emotional amplifier of the crypto market, memecoins once again showcased their explosive power. 

• DARK (Dark Eclipse): It led the week with an approximate 222% rally, becoming the undisputed champion. As a Solana-based hybrid of AI and memecoin narratives, DARK’s surge was likely fueled by a mix of community hype, liquidity expansion, and speculative focus. 
• GIGGLE (Giggle Fund): Up 56%. This BSC-based memecoin gained moderate traction compared to DARK. Its growth was mainly driven by social media engagement, KOL exposure, and event-driven marketing such as airdrops.

Cautionary Note: While memecoins can yield eye-popping returns, they remain highly volatile with limited fundamental support.

DeFi Sector: Efficiency Boost Through Leverage and Synthetic Assets

• F (SynFutures): Up 106%. F is the governance token of SynFutures, supporting a single-token liquidity model that enables users to freely list and trade any asset in seconds. SynFutures recently introduced the industry’s first Perp Launchpad, allowing instant listings of assets ranging from blue-chip tokens to LSTs and memecoins.
• AVNT (Avantis): Up 51% to $0.74. Positioned as the largest RWA perpetuals DEX on Base, Avantis allows users to trade not only crypto, but real-world assets (RWAs) like FX, commodities, indices, and soon, equities. The token’s listing on Binance.US last week drove a new wave of interest, and HTX’s margin trading for AVNT has made it a preferred choice for professional traders.

GameFi and Privacy: Old Themes, New Momentum 

• MAVIA (Heroes of Mavia): 167% weekly growth, ranking second among all gainers. As the governance token of the Heroes of Mavia strategy game, MAVIA enables players to earn RUBY rewards through real-time base-building battles. The price jumping from $0.09 to $0.24 was fueled by its integration with BNB Chain bridges and the launch of the game’s new season, which attracted millions of active players.
• ZEC (Zcash): Rose 46%, a privacy token representative. Powered by zk-SNARKs, Zcash provides state-of-the-art privacy protection. Renewed attention followed Arthur Hayes’ bold “$10,000 ZEC” prediction, triggering a 20% 24-hour surge and reviving discussions on privacy as crypto’s foundational ethos.

From Base’s AI agent revolution to memecoin euphoria, GameFi’s play-to-earn revival, DeFi’s efficiency breakthroughs, and Privacy’s comeback, the week of Oct 20-26 showcased a broad market rotation toward smaller projects, high-narrative assets with tangible progress potential. HTX, leveraging its strategic foresight in asset curation and sector discovery, continues to offer users early access to emerging narratives and multi-dimensional growth opportunities, empowering global traders to capture value in the next phase of the digital economy.
