Sunny, who recently gained national hero status in China for his performance in the 2026
FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers, has been the goalkeeper for the Singapore
national team since 2004, playing 115 matches during this time. Since 2023, he
has also been associated with the local club Albirex Niigata.

During the mid-June match against Thailand, he saved 11 shots from the
opposition, ultimately eliminating Thailand from further qualifying
competitions and helping China to advance to the next phase of the competition.

"The
partnership between HTX, the ‘People’s Exchange’, and Hassan Sunny, the
‘People’s Goalkeeper’, is a perfect match," said Justin Sun, the Member of
the HTX Global Advisory Board.

HTX has
established its latest sponsorship collaboration with a popular Asian athlete at a time when its trading volumes have significantly increased. Finance
Magnates reported at the end of May that the exchange surpassed Coinbase by
reaching $2.4 billion in spot trading volume.
