HTX Lists NEWT & FUN: The Rise of Agentic Finance and Play-to-Earn Tokens

HTX Just Dropped Two Tokens That Could Reshape Web3

Today, HTX opened spot trading for NEWT/USDT and FUN/USDT at 11:00 GMT+8. Not a typo—this isn’t just another listing. As someone who’s calibrated risk models on 27 DeFi protocols, I see these two tokens as gateways to two very different but equally transformative trends.

Newt is not your average utility token. It’s part of a system that turns AI agents into financial executors—cross-chain, self-verifying, and embedded with safety boundaries. In short: trustless automation at scale.

Newton: When AI Does Your Finance (Without Asking)

Let me be clear—this isn’t sci-fi. Newton Protocol is building what I call ‘Agentic Finance’—a world where smart contracts don’t just react; they anticipate, delegate, and execute complex strategies autonomously.

Imagine setting up a DeFi vault that re-balances across five chains using real-time liquidity signals—and you don’t have to monitor it because an AI agent does it for you. With Newton, that agent runs on-chain with verifiable proof of execution.

That’s not convenience—that’s infrastructure change.

And yes, the fact that HTX is listing it now suggests institutional confidence is growing—even if most retail traders are still focused on price charts.

FUN Token: The Quiet Engine Behind Decentralized Gaming

Now let’s talk about FUN—the currency powering FunFair, one of the early pioneers in blockchain gaming.

It’s easy to dismiss play-to-earn tokens as hype traps. But here’s what most miss: FUN isn’t just a reward token; it’s the only way to place bets on FunFair games.

Every action—from playing poker to rolling dice—is settled in FUN. Developers get paid in FUN. Even platform fees are denominated in it.

This creates a closed-loop economy where demand flows directly from user engagement—not marketing campaigns or speculative pumps.

That kind of sustainability? Rare in this space.
