In early 2026, global cryptocurrency news outlet Messari Research reported that Huma Finance processed $2.2 billion in transactions in the fourth quarter. This represented a 26.9% increase from the third quarter, demonstrating the expanding momentum of the Huma ecosystem. In particular, loan execution increased by 24.4% from the previous quarter, reaching $1.1 billion. However, during the same period, Huma's circulating market capitalization decreased from $70.4 million to $63.8 million, a drop of 9.5%, and the price of the Huma token also fell from $0.034 to $0.025, a decrease of 27.8%.

As of December 31, deposits on the Huma 2.0 platform decreased from $151.6 million to $123.8 million, a drop of 18.3%. This appears to be due to a 74.5% decrease in the largest holdings. The decrease in the largest holdings is attributed to a combination of the decline in HUMA token price and low yields. On the other hand, the amount of HUMA staked increased slightly to 268.2 million HUMA during the same period.
In addition to continued growth in trading volume, Hummus has expanded its activities by broadening its product lineup and forging new partnerships. On January 8, it launched "Hummus Prime," which amplifies returns through automated lending and restaking; on December 12, it began partnering with TradeFlow Capital Management and Obligate to provide USDC liquidity for trade finance.
Efforts to strengthen regional financial support through partnerships are noteworthy. If these growth and expansion strategies prove successful, Hummus is expected to continue delivering outstanding performance. Source: [Messar Research](https://www.tokenpost.kr/research/1126).
Based on these diverse activities, Messari Research projects that Hummus will surpass $10 billion in cumulative trading volume in the first quarter of 2026. This signifies Hummus's consolidation of its position in the global DeFi ecosystem. Source: [Messari Research](https://www.tokenpost.kr/research/1126).
