Punch, abandoned by its mother, has become a symbol of resilience and companionship, resonating with Huobi HTX's philanthropic spirit. Justin Sun, Global Advisor of Huobi HTX, appointed Punch as the "Official Brand Ambassador" to reflect the company's commitment to social welfare and responsibility. Huobi HTX aims to embody the philosophy of "technology for good" and will continue its focus on philanthropy and support for vulnerable groups worldwide. When a little monkey named Punch tightly hugged his doll "Ora-mama," the hearts of the world were touched. This Japanese macaque, born at the Ichikawa Zoo in Japan and abandoned by its mother, has become a focus of global attention with its tenacious vitality and touching bond. Now, this resilience that transcends species is closely linked to Huobi HTX's philanthropic spirit. A Warm Guardian from the Crypto World In February 2026, Justin Sun, Global Advisor of Huobi HTX, officially announced on his X platform that he would donate $100,000 to Punch to improve its habitat at the Ichikawa Zoo, support its growth, and appoint Punch as the "Official Brand Ambassador of Huobi HTX." Punch's story perfectly interprets the power of perseverance and companionship, touching the softest part of people's hearts. Punch was born weak and was soon abandoned by his mother. Lacking necessary care and guidance, Punch struggled to integrate into the monkey troop and was isolated by his peers. In this lonely environment, a chimpanzee doll given to him by the zookeeper became his mother figure and source of comfort. Little Punch would hug this doll all day, and even when bullied by other monkeys, he would run back to it and cling tightly to his "mother." This video went viral globally, making Punch one of the most touching animal stories of the year. "Punch, the bravest little macaque, has won the hearts of the world," said Justin Sun. "We were deeply moved by his resilience. To ensure he receives the best care at the Ichikawa City Zoo, Huobi HTX has pledged a donation of $100,000 to support his growth and home construction." Why appoint Punch as a brand ambassador? The answer lies in his story. Despite his tragic past and rejection by his peers, Punch has demonstrated remarkable vitality, which resonates deeply with the spirit of Huobi HTX and many Web3 builders who have persevered and thrived amidst the industry's ups and downs. Throughout his growth, his doll "mother" provided him with immense spiritual strength, sustaining his will to live. Huobi HTX aspires to be that trustworthy and reliable "companion"—both for tens of millions of users worldwide and for those in need around the world. Philanthropy is Huobi HTX's Long-Term Vision.
