HTX Platform Overview: Brand Evolution and Global Presence

HTX, formerly known as "Huobi Global," officially rebranded to its Chinese name "Huobi" in November 2022, simultaneously adjusting its English brand to "Huobi." Subsequently, to commemorate its tenth anniversary, the platform further upgraded its brand to "HTX." In this name, "H" stands for Huobi, "T" for Tron, and "X" symbolizes the exchange. HTX is committed to providing diverse digital asset trading and services to global users.

HTX offers services in over 130 countries and regions worldwide, supporting multiple language interfaces. The platform has obtained a DLT license from Gibraltar, and its affiliate, Huobi Technology, has secured Hong Kong SFC Type 4/9 licenses. Additionally, HTX has initiated the compliant exchange license application process in Pakistan. However, it is important to note that HTX currently does not provide registration and most services to users in mainland China and residents of the United States.

Before starting the HTX account registration process, please be sure to understand the following key information:

  • Regional Restrictions: Since September 2021, HTX has ceased providing new registration services for users in mainland China and has completed the withdrawal of existing users. Simultaneously, U.S. residents are generally not permitted to register or use most of HTX's services. Please ensure that your jurisdiction allows the use of the HTX platform and comply with local laws and regulations.
  • Preparations: You will need a valid email address or mobile phone number for registration and government-issued identification documents (such as a passport, ID card, or driver's license) for subsequent identity verification (KYC).

Detailed Steps for HTX Account Registration

Here are the detailed steps to register an HTX account:

  • Access Official Channels: Visit the official HTX website or download the official app. Always ensure you obtain it through reliable channels to prevent phishing websites.
  • Choose Registration Method: On the registration page, you can choose to register using an email address or a mobile phone number.
  • Fill in Registration Information:
    • Enter your chosen email address or mobile phone number.
    • Set a secure login password. Passwords typically require 8-20 characters, including at least one letter, and cannot consist solely of numbers.
    • Complete the anti-bot verification (e.g., puzzle verification).
    • Enter the verification code sent to your email or phone.
  • Invitation Code (Optional): If you have an invitation code, you can enter it during registration, which may help you receive new user benefits or trading fee discounts.

    Identity Verification (KYC) Process

    After completing basic registration, you will need to undergo identity verification (Know Your Customer, KYC) to unlock all HTX account features, including deposits, withdrawals, higher purchase limits, and access to P2P trading. Accounts that have not completed verification will face strict functional restrictions.

    • Verification Levels: HTX typically offers different levels of KYC verification. For example, a Level 1 personal account has a daily withdrawal limit of 5 BTC, while Level 2/3 personal accounts can have a daily withdrawal limit of up to 200 BTC.
    • Required Documents: Personal verification usually requires you to upload government-issued identification documents (such as a passport, ID card, or driver's license) and complete a selfie verification to confirm your identity.

    Account Security Settings

    To protect your assets, it is strongly recommended to enable the following security settings immediately after registration and KYC completion:

    • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Link Google Authenticator or enable SMS verification to provide an additional layer of security for your account.
    • Anti-Phishing Code: Setting an anti-phishing code can help you identify official emails sent by HTX, effectively preventing phishing scams.
