HTX still works well if you want to trade long tail altcoins, deploy quick speculative trades, or tap into high promotional yields on small balances. Management has also shown a consistent habit of covering hack losses directly out of corporate funds to keep retail users whole.
However, the concentration of regulatory enforcement, repeated security breaches(SEP 25 2023 & NOV 22 2023), Low User Trust Scores(Customer Reviews) and a reserve model tied closely to internal ecosystem tokens make storing long term wealth on HTX an unacceptable risk.

It's surprising to say there's a time I'd open Houbi exchange twice before even going to other exchanges. This news management and renaming is just an entire different experience for me withdrawal fees are generally standard but vary on blockchain networks and can feel expensive during congestion periods. Global adoption is large thanks to Huobi, but trust perception is weaker in Western markets due to regulatory warnings and reputational issues. Teams has a lot to work on here.

I have used HTX (formerly Huobi), which is owned by Justin Sun. In my experience, the platform has good liquidity and lists many altcoins. However, the UI/UX is quite poor and the customer support is not very reliable. HTX has also faced regulatory issues in several regions. Recently, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) took action against the exchange for allegedly promoting crypto services to UK consumers without proper authorization

HTX boasts high trading volume, many altcoins, strong liquidity, and good security features which traders praise for growth and listings.However frequent withdrawal freezes, terrible support, KYC delays, and scam accusations make it highly risky https://x.com/R05141051/status/2006783619487137941 https://x.com/ViserSuper/status/2003274312430829929 https://x.com/Lightyagami191/status/2011319336355709248

The UI is serviceable but not particularly intuitive compared to newer platforms. Fees are generally competitive, and liquidity on major pairs is sufficient, Transparency remains a point of friction Delay in withdrawal is something to improve on ...

Huobi had issues yeah (mediocre liquidtiy, slow interface, incompetent support) but was just fine (now called HTX). Since Justin Sun bought it, it’s been suffering to death. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t make use of it. I think he just doesn’t care after all, he can easily spend US $6.2 million on a banana (yes, literally a banana) at auction. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/29/crypto-entrepreneur-justin-sun-eats-banana-art-he-bought-for-6m-dollars

RIP Huobi (HTX) Old good days of HTX are gona. It was considered to be in top 3 with the old team especially marketing and community efforts were awesome. Now they can't reach the end user. Overall the app is fine with enough liquidity in most pairs, fees are reasonable but could be better

About HTX

Website
Socials 4 more
Year Established 2013
Country Seychelles
Founder Leon Li
CEO Justin Sun

Platform Background & Leadership

Formerly Huobi, founded 2013 by Leon Li. Acquired October 2022 by About Capital Management, widely reported as a front for Tron founder Justin Sun (Wikipedia: Justin Sun), who officially holds the title "adviser" but acts as the public face. Rebranded to HTX September 2023. Seychelles registration. 762 markets.

Reserves heavily concentrated in TRX and Sun-backed tokens, flagged as a concentration risk. Sun faces an ongoing SEC lawsuit (March 2023) for fraud and securities violations. His involvement with World Liberty Financial (Trump-associated) raises additional conflict-of-interest questions.

Security Track Record

Multiple breaches in rapid succession. September 2023: $8 million ETH stolen from hot wallet (CoinDesk Report). November 2023: $30 million second hack plus $85 million HECO Chain bridge exploit. Same month, Sun's Poloniex hacked for ~$120 million (Cointelegraph: 4 Hacks in 2 Months). Total: ~$240 million across Sun-linked platforms in two months. Losses covered but frequency raised serious infrastructure questions.

Also experienced a 2023 customer data breach (two years of user data exposed, downplayed by the exchange). HT-to-HTX token conversion in January 2024 was controversial. HECO chain users found tokens stranded.

With 10 verified reviews, HTX holds an OG Score of 26.8. The hack frequency, TRX-heavy reserves and Justin Sun's unresolved legal situation create a risk profile that demands elevated caution.

HTX Fees & Fee Structure

Spot: 0.20% maker, 0.20% taker, higher than Binance. HT/HTX token discounts. Futures: 0.02% maker, 0.06% taker.

Staking & Earn Products

Flexible/fixed savings. Has offered extreme promotional yields (up to 100% on BTC) as user retention. Such rates should be viewed with skepticism. Check whether yields come from sustainable revenue or unsustainable incentive spending.

Trading Experience & Platform Features

Spot, margin, futures, options. Functional interface. Liquidity has declined from Huobi's peak years. Lost significant market share since ownership transition. Our community approaches HTX with elevated caution.

We compiled this HTX analysis using publicly available data, including the HTX Official Website, HTX X (Twitter) Account.
