# HFT (Hashflow) — Situation Report as of August 17, 2026

## Overview

HFT is the governance token of Hashflow, a multichain decentralized exchange (DEX) that uses a Request-for-Quote (RFQ) system powered by professional market makers rather than a traditional AMM model, offering zero-slippage trading and bridgeless cross-chain swaps [[8]](https://app.coinpedia.org/company/hashflow/)[[14]](https://bingx.com/en/learn/article/what-is-hashflow-hft-token-and-how-does-hft-work). As of mid-August 2026, HFT is trading at extremely depressed levels — approximately 99.8% below its all-time high of $3.61 [[2]](https://www.ainvest.com/news/hashflow-hft-1-2-atl-bounce-binance-monitoring-tag-competitive-erosion-pressures-persist-2607/) — and faces a critical existential catalyst today.
