    Founded in 2013 by Leon Li, a former Oracle engineer, HTX—formerly Huobi—has evolved into one of the world's premier cryptocurrency exchanges. Headquartered in Seychelles with a global footprint across 160+ countries, HTX rebranded in September 2023 to mark its 10th anniversary and align with visionary leadership under advisor Justin Sun. Today, as of mid-2025, it boasts over 50 million registered users, a 14% surge from the previous half-year, and daily trading volumes exceeding $4 billion. Ranked among the top 10 exchanges by CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap, HTX stands as a resilient powerhouse in the volatile crypto landscape.
HTX empowers traders with a comprehensive suite of tools tailored for beginners and pros alike. Dive into spot trading across 700+ cryptocurrencies and 1,000+ pairs, including BTC, ETH, XRP, and emerging altcoins. For advanced strategies, leverage up to 200x on futures contracts—USDT-margined or coin-margined—with zero-cost options for select pairs. Margin trading and automated bots, like the Grid Trading Bot, automate buys low and sells high within user-defined ranges, maximizing efficiency 24/7.
Earning opportunities abound through SmartEarn products: stake assets for flexible or fixed APYs, join Launchpool for new token rewards, or explore structured investments like Shark Fin and Dual Investment for principal-protected yields. The platform's intuitive mobile app (updated to v11.0 in July 2025) supports multi-language interfaces and fiat gateways in USD, EUR, and more, ensuring seamless deposits via P2P with zero fees and competitive rates.
In an era where security breaches cost billions—$2.17 billion in the first half of 2025 alone—HTX prioritizes user protection with multi-layered defenses.
Additional safeguards include mandatory 2FA, anti-phishing codes, withdrawal address whitelisting, and real-time monitoring. In January 2025, HTX blacklisted 189 risky addresses, intercepting 624,190 USDT in illicit funds. Despite past incidents in 2023 (fully reimbursed), the platform has enjoyed over 20 incident-free months by June 2025, earning Forbes' nod as one of the "Top 25 Most Trustworthy Crypto Exchanges of 2025."
HTX navigates regulations adeptly, holding licenses in Thailand, Japan, Gibraltar, and Hong Kong, while aligning with EU's MiCA framework as of March 2025.
