The report credited HTX’s progress in user trust, technical architecture, and product diversity, which are key drivers behind its rise into the industry’s top tier.
Steady Growth Backed by 12 Years of Commitment and Dedication
HTX stood out in this recovery cycle by staying focused on its users, following a long-term vision, and continuously innovating its products and services. The platform has built a reliable trading environment while expanding its brand presence globally. Twelve years of persistent effort have laid a solid foundation for its steady growth.
Driving the Evolution from “Exchange to Crypto Gateway”
HTX continues to refine its products and expand trading and asset management tools, aiming to create a holistic one-stop platform experience. In the first half of 2025, the platform rolled out a suite of innovative features, including Multi-Assets Collateral, custody sub-accounts, and the HTX DAO on-chain voting mechanism. These enhancements allow users to benefit from liquidity while maximizing capital efficiency and strengthening security. At the end of July, the HTX App underwent a major upgrade, boosting interaction efficiency by 20% and delivering a lighter user experience with a more youthful design language.
Furthermore, HTX is pioneering the development of its stablecoin ecosystem, with a seamless 1:1 conversion between USDT and USDD to reduce friction and costs for users in on-chain payments and asset management. These ongoing product innovations not only facilitate trading for users but also keep HTX at the forefront of functional innovation in the industry.
Building User Trust with Security and Transparency as the Cornerstone
In an industry where compliance is tightening and security incidents frequently occur, HTX has always placed safety as its top priority, establishing a multi-layered protection framework that spans asset reserves, on-chain risk control, and user education. The platform has now disclosed its reserve data for 34 consecutive months, fully upgraded its Merkle Tree Proof of Reserves, and introduced distributed databases to further enhance reserve transparency, enabling dynamic, auditable asset security.
At the same time, HTX continuously strengthens its security response mechanisms with rapid iterations: cracking down on phishing sites, enhancing on-chain monitoring, and upgrading anti-fraud interception measures…These concrete actions are not just proof of HTX’s risk control capabilities but a true fulfillment of its safety commitment to users. This is precisely why HTX continues to solidify user trust and build a moat in the turbulent market.
Driving User Engagement via Brand Globalization and DAO Governance
HTX has always believed that a trusted brand should not only exist on a screen but also connect directly with people and markets. In the first half of 2025, HTX reached a broad range of users globally and resonated with them through offline brand events in Dubai, and the CIS region, as well as online campaigns such as “Mars Program”, “Miss HTX”, and “Join HTX on a Fitness Journey”.
With the advancement of its DAO ecosystem, HTX is no longer a centralized platform in the traditional sense but an open system co-built with its community. Through on-chain governance voting, proposal mechanisms, and collaborative asset listings, users are deeply involved in the platform’s decision-making process. This not only strengthens brand identity and user stickiness but also fosters a unique ecosystem atmosphere where HTX is seen as the “people’s exchange”.
A New Beginning at Twelve: Shaping a Promising Future
On its 12th anniversary, HTX is more than an exchange—it has become a pivotal force shaping the development of the industry. The platform has entered a new round of swift development, and these impressive achievements so far are only the beginning. Going forward, HTX will remain user-centric, expand into global markets, diversify its product offerings, and accelerate the development of the Web3 ecosystem, striving to create a more comprehensive financial free port for users worldwide.
