About the exchange

HTX (formerly Huobi) is one of the oldest crypto exchanges, founded in China in 2013, that went through a regulatory exit in 2017 and a rebrand under Justin Sun's ownership in 2023. Supports TON on spot and via RUB P2P, no perpetuals. Trading fees are above market average (0.2%), and TON-pair liquidity is thinner than on Bybit or OKX. Proof of Reserves is published ad-hoc rather than on a fixed schedule. In September 2023 the platform suffered an ~$8M hot-wallet exploit — losses were covered, but it's an operational-security signal. Useful as a secondary exchange for diversification or for less-liquid pairs through P2P.
