HBUS Welcomes New VP as Crypto Landscape Evolves

Meet the New Face of HBUS

In a bold step towards shaping its future, HBUS, the U.S. strategic partner of the renowned crypto exchange Huobi, has made a significant addition to its team. Former Draper Athena executive, Jay Ryu, has joined the company as the Vice President of Corporate Development. This announcement was made in a recent press release that sent shockwaves (or maybe gentle ripples) through the crypto community.

A Bit About Jay Ryu

Jay Ryu isn’t just another suit; he brings a hefty portfolio of experience from his time at Draper Athena, where he spent seven years steering technology investments across key global markets—Silicon Valley, Asia, and the Middle East. Let’s just say he knows his way around a crypto wallet. Ryu’s connections with iconic figures like Tim Draper, a champion of cryptocurrency, hint at the strategic vision he will bring to HBUS.

The Growing Crypto Community

Ryu remarked that the current crypto and blockchain landscape is “drastically different than what we witnessed last year.” Translation: it’s no longer just the wild west with a few cowboys; it’s a fast-evolving ecosystem that’s luring in the big guns. As institutional investors take a keener interest in the space, Ryu’s leadership could prove pivotal in navigating these choppy waters.

HBUS vs. The Giants

With Huobi holding strong at the third position among crypto exchanges by trade volume, HBUS is gearing up to challenge the established players like Coinbase and Robinhood. Since going live on July 10, the platform has been actively trading 22 different cryptocurrencies, including the heavyweights: Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). The friendly competition just got a little spicier!

Feature-Rich Future Ahead

Recently, HBUS added a new feather to its cap by releasing its API for experienced traders. It’s like they’re rolling out the red carpet for institutional investors. Features designed specifically for these savvy players are a signal that HBUS isn’t just content with standing in Huobi’s shadow; they’re aiming for the stars (or at least the top 50 on CoinMarketCap).

Current Standing

As of now, Huobi is making waves with approximately $388.2 million in daily trading volumes, while HBUS is still finding its footing at 142nd place, pulling in about $255K. It’s a classic tale of the tortoise and the hare, and it looks like HBUS is just getting warmed up!
