16 years ago on May 22nd, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz exchanged 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas. This was not only the first real-world transaction in cryptocurrency history but also the starting point for consensus building in the Web3 world.

Today, 16 years later, Bitcoin has become a global mainstream asset, and the "Bitcoin Pizza Day" has long become the most ritualistic symbol in the Web3 world.

As "5·22 Pizza Day" arrives again as scheduled, HTX DAO will transform this festival of geeky romanticism into a global Web3 cultural carnival spanning five core cities around the world. This not only signifies the comprehensive upgrade of HTX's global service, but also reflects the most authentic shift in investment mentality in the current crypto market.

Five-City Collaboration: An Upgrade of Global Service Capability

If the early days of the crypto world were more like a niche utopia for internet natives, today's Web3 has truly entered a stage of globalization. The boundaries of the industry are constantly being broken, and crypto culture is moving from on-chain communities to a broader real-world.

This time, HTX DAO has chosen to expand the scope of this event to the five major core cities globally in the warmest and most community-oriented manner, presenting a cross-border Web3 consensus party in a completely different form.

We have seen the most Crypto-native spirit of "point-to-point citywide delivery," delivering pizzas directly to the community partners' hands; we have seen a DIY feast party in bustling commercial districts, where young Web3 players discuss AI, DeFi, and the next round of industry narratives while kneading dough and sprinkling toppings; we have seen cultural flash mobs in street parks, with custom-made NFTs and pizza boxes becoming the coolest landmarks in the city.

We have also witnessed a VIP Pizza Festival with a high-quality and exclusive atmosphere. From custom Ferrari car escorts to a high-end dinner intertwined with red wine, steak, and pizza; from in-depth conversations in intimate social settings to clashes of viewpoints around market trends, asset allocation, and industry cycles, the entire event has preserved the freedom and enthusiasm of crypto culture while showcasing the logic of high-net-worth services as the crypto finance industry gradually matures.

In addition, to allow more users to enjoy pizza, Huobi HTX has also launched a Pizza Festival welfare event, with tens of thousands of pizza vouchers and millions of benefits waiting to be unlocked. The event only requires 5 steps to complete, providing a 5-minute express pass.

If the offline carnival of the five-city linkage is a mirror of the HTX DAO's global ecological services, then behind this mirror, it reflects the most authentic emotional changes in the current Web3 market.

At the on-site HTX DAO Global Pizza Festival, community users engaged in a deeper discussion around "asset allocation" and "coin-based interest," with significantly increased attention to the annualized earnings from Huobi HTX's staking business. A clear industry narrative turning point has emerged.

From FOMO to Stable Returns: Cryptofinance Enters the "New Asset Management Era"

The crypto world has never lacked overnight riches urban legends. Over the past few years, market sentiment has always been dominated by FOMO, with people fervently chasing the next 100x coin or 1000x Alpha.

However, as the industry enters the deep waters of compliance and faces macroeconomic fluctuations, the underlying mindset of the market is quietly reshaping. After the frenzy subsides, whether it is a seasoned Builder with battle scars or a whale-sized large holder, they are all moving from "dreaming" to "practicality" in unison.

This shift is also directly reflected in the real data of exchanges and user demands.

Molly, HTX DAO Ambassador and spokesperson for Huobi HTX, recently stated that in the team's user welfare surveys and top client interviews, "earning coin interest coupons" have become one of the most sought-after benefits. This change shows that users' understanding of cryptocurrency asset management is adjusting, leaning more towards prioritizing the ability to earn stable returns.

To some extent, this is also a sign of the gradual maturation of the crypto industry.

The atmosphere conveyed by the HTX DAO Global Pizza Festival this time also coincides with this industry's emotional shift: the enthusiasm still exists, but rationality is returning; dreams are still preserved, but long-termism is beginning to become a new consensus.

Pizza may be eaten, but consensus persists

From witnessing the enlightenment of Bitcoin transaction value 16 years ago to the HTX DAO 5·22 Global Pizza Festival, which now gathers rational discussions on "earnings from stable coins," this is not only a warm tribute to the development history of crypto but also a witness to the mature transformation of the market and the consensus bond resonating with users worldwide.

Over the 16 years, as pizza flavors have changed and market cycles have shifted, what remains constant is HTX DAO's commitment to supporting the community through bull and bear markets, along with a steadfast belief in the decentralized world and consensus for steady progress.
