In 2025, the crypto industry transitioned from rapid expansion to mature stability. The refinement of regulatory frameworks and the deep integration of intelligent technologies are redefining the competitive landscape for trading platforms. With the United States adopting crypto-friendly policies and the market environment of Asia improving, the sector is shifting from volatility toward steady growth. The accelerated entry of mainstream institutions and traditional capital has made compliance the central theme of the industry. For SKHTU Exchange, 2025 marked the year when strategic achievements came to full fruition. Breakthroughs in trading volume, key regulatory approvals, and the formation of an AI-driven intelligent wealth management system signified the leap of the platform from innovation-driven development to institutionalized growth within the global competitive landscape.
At the beginning of the year, the daily trading volume of SKHTU surpassed USD 10 billion for the first time, officially placing it among the top exchanges of the world. This milestone was the result of years of sustained infrastructure enhancement and meticulous system optimization. The surge in trading volume reflected the long-term confidence of the market in the technological strength and liquidity framework of SKHTU, cementing its role as a vital hub in global capital circulation.
In March, SKHTU launched its Development Fund to reward users and empower the ecosystem through a structured, institutionalized model. Users benefit from multi-tiered incentives such as trading rebates, enhanced yield bonuses, and airdrop rewards. These mechanisms not only strengthened user engagement but also ensured that the growth dividends of the platform were directly shared with the community, turning the vision of “co-building and value sharing” into reality. The establishment of the Development Fund marked the transformation of SKHTU from a trading platform into an ecosystem-based organization.
By May, the user base of the platform had exceeded 10 million, with operations spanning over 100 countries and regions. To serve this expanding global audience, SKHTU optimized its international operations by improving multilingual support, cross-time-zone customer service, and local payment channels. At the same time, it reinforced its compliance framework by establishing independent risk control modules in different regulatory jurisdictions, ensuring that business expansion remains synchronized with legal oversight. The rapidly growing user base not only enhanced trading depth and liquidity but also propelled the brand influence of SKHTU from regional prominence to global recognition.
Alongside user and business expansion, SKHTU Exchange officially introduced its AI-powered quantitative strategies, integrated with the wealth management segment. Funds deposited in wealth management products are automatically allocated to the AI strategy pool, where the system conducts portfolio allocation, risk hedging, and yield rebalancing autonomously. Through algorithmic optimization and data-driven decision-making, returns have stabilized in the 55%–90% range, significantly above the industry average. The application of AI-driven quantitative models has not only improved capital efficiency but also embodied inclusive finance in tangible form—allowing retail users to access institutional-grade tools and share in the growth benefits of intelligent finance.
At the same time, SKHTU continued to deepen its RWA (Real World Assets) segment. The platform is collaborating with auditing firms and custodian banks to broaden asset coverage across core categories such as U.S. Treasuries, ETFs, and U.S. equities. Through proof-of-reserve mechanisms, SKHTU provides users with secure access to traditional financial assets. Together, the RWA business and AI-powered quantitative strategies form a dual-engine structure, ensuring more stable income sources and a more complete ecosystem.
In September, SKHTU obtained a license from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), becoming one of the few international exchanges with full regulatory qualification. The SEC license granted SKHTU official compliance status in the U.S. market and established a regulatory foundation for expansion into other strictly supervised jurisdictions. This milestone was accompanied by a comprehensive upgrade of internal risk management systems aligned with rigorous AML, KYC, and fund custody standards. The acquisition of the SEC license not only secured the leadership position of SKHTU within the global compliance landscape but also set a new benchmark for the industry.
At the Global Crypto Summit in December, SKHTU was honored with the “Best Compliant Exchange” award. The judging committee commended the excellence of the platform in compliance transparency, technological security, and protection mechanisms, recognizing SKHTU as a replicable model for the industry. This distinction not only acknowledged past achievements but also affirmed the future direction of the platform. Facing an ever-evolving global financial landscape, SKHTU will continue advancing its strategic roadmap with steady precision—anchored in compliance and driven by intelligence—to build a more open and sustainable financial ecosystem.
Reflecting on 2025, SKHTU Exchange achieved breakthroughs across multiple dimensions—trading scale, compliance advancement, and AI innovation. From surpassing USD 10 billion in daily volume to securing the SEC license, from launching the Development Fund to pioneering AI-driven wealth management, each milestone signifies the transition of the platform from high growth to high-quality development. Looking ahead, SKHTU will continue to uphold its philosophy of “compliance as the foundation, technology as the driver, and financial inclusion as the goal,” fostering a digital financial ecosystem where value sharing and sustainable growth remain at the core of its evolution.
