HTX

HTX (formerly Huobi) is one of the oldest cryptocurrency exchanges, founded in 2013, offering deep liquidity, extensive altcoin selection, spot trading, futures, staking, and earning products across 700+ trading pairs. The platform maintains a strong operational history and has survived multiple market cycles, though user sentiment is divided: many praise its broad asset access, reliable order execution, and feature-rich ecosystem, while others cite a pattern of security incidents between 2021–2023 (including a $100M HECO Chain Bridge exploit), service quality decline following Justin Sun's acquisition and the rebrand to HTX, regulatory scrutiny including UK sanctions over alleged Russian sanctions evasion ties, and mixed customer support experiences. Long-term users often express nostalgia for the Huobi era and caution about the platform's current governance and compliance risks, though it remains a functional venue for accessing niche tokens and active trading.
