What HTX is
HTX is the former Huobi, one of the oldest exchanges on the market, running since 2013. The name change did not change the substance: a large venue with a full set of services and a very long history.
For a practitioner it has one decisive advantage: the cheapest USDT withdrawal in our review, 0.001 on the BTT network. Not one of the cheap ones — the cheapest. If you shuttle coins between exchanges often, that number saves more than any difference in trading fees.
What you get here
Spot — almost six hundred USDT pairs.
Futures — over three hundred and fifty perpetual contracts.
P2P — crypto for ordinary money across dozens of currencies.
HTX Earn — savings and staking.
Primepool and Primelist — new token launches.
Copy trading — mirror other traders.
HTX token — fee discounts and access to exchange programmes.
Fees
The entry-level trading fee is above the average of this review, and it is fair to keep that in your calculations. It falls with volume, but if you make one or two trades a month you will feel the difference.
On transfers, though, you save enough that frequent operations put you ahead. Thirteen networks to choose from, with live prices in the table at the top of this page.
Deposits and withdrawals
P2P on HTX is broad across currencies. The usual flow: pick an offer, pay the seller, the crypto leaves escrow.
Who it suits
Anyone moving coins often — on withdrawal cost this is the best venue in the review. Anyone who cares about an exchange age and reputation. And as a transit point in cross-exchange routes: fund it, send cheaply, move on.
