Htx Releases August Performance Report: 13Th Anniversary Celebration Ignites Global User Engagement

What Happened

The Grand Prize included a 2,000 USDT Future Exploration Fund, an all-inclusive trip to Singapore TOKEN2049 (flights & hotel included), and an HTX 13th Anniversary premium limited-edition gift. At the same time, a referral campaign was launched with a mega prize pool, covering multiple trading scenarios including spot, futures, and margin trading. Users who completed designated tasks will share in the rewards.

Throughout the anniversary month, various platform services also rolled out their own rewarding programs. HTX Earn launched its 13th Anniversary Earn Bonanza, attracting more than 30,000 subscribers to Earn products during the month. Both the subscriber count and subscription amount for popular new-crypto products grew by more than 10% month over month.

As the asset matrix expanded, trading volume grew accordingly. By the end of August, cumulative TradFi trading volume on HTX had surpassed $4 billion, with $1.6 billion added in August alone. In terms of trading costs, the platform also completed a fee-rate upgrade, bringing its TradFi net fee rates into the industry’s top tier.

For users who plan to stay in the market long term but do not want their funds sitting idle, HTX SmartEarn was one of the month’s standout products. In August, SmartEarn launched a limited-time APY boost campaign offering up to an additional 11% APY. With an average daily basic APY of 2.71%, it offered a maximum APY of over 13%.

Market Context

Apia, Samoa, September 9, 2026 – In August, leading global cryptocurrency exchange HTX marked its 13th anniversary with a major anniversary celebration. In an industry where leading projects come and go rapidly, few platforms have continued delivering quality services to users worldwide for 13 consecutive years. Even fewer have continued expanding their capabilities after weathering multiple bull and bear cycles.

Centered around the “Resilience Reveals the Future” campaign and Trading Championship #3, HTX delivered a series of anniversary rewards for global users throughout August. At the same time, the platform continued to expand its asset offerings and enhance its trading tools and yield products.

On-platform balances grew 6.6% month over month, supported stock trading assets reached 210, and cumulative TradFi trading volume surpassed $4 billion, resulting in a strong August performance.

Featuring campaigns across its three major products, Collateral Swap, margin trading, and institutional lending, unlocked user asset potential through low-interest loans and drove a 19% month-over-month increase in daily average margin trading trader count.

Trading Championship #3 Returns with Over 40,000 Participants

Coinciding with its 13th anniversary, HTX’s flagship trading competition, the Trading Championship, returned for its third season. The competition featured three consecutive stages, including Points Contest, Individual Challenge, and Team Battle, with a total prize pool of 800,000 USDT.

By the end of August, the competition had attracted more than 40,000 participants, generating over 1.25 billion USDT in spot trading volume and more than 4.17 billion USDT in futures trading volume.

The three stages offered different ways to participate. The Individual Challenge featured three tracks based on trading volume, PnL, and PnL percentage, giving users with different trading styles a chance to compete for the leaderboard.

The spot trading volume champion recorded nearly 150 million USDT in cumulative trading volume and took home the 25,000 USDT first-place prize. The Team Battle added a stronger social element, turning individual competition into team-based competition through features such as one-click team building, team leader guidance, and one-click copy trading. The Team Battle is currently underway and will run through September 15.

Whether through “Resilience Reveals the Future” or Trading Championship #3, the combination of user rewards and enthusiastic global participation highlights the core drivers behind HTX’s resilience and enduring leadership across multiple market cycles.

Expanding Asset Listings: Cumulative TradFi Trading Volume Surpasses $4 Billion

In August, HTX continued to expand its futures product lineup, adding 56 new assets, including 41 popular stocks and index products and 15 new cryptocurrencies. The platform now supports 210 stock assets, covering U.S. equities, major global indices and ETFs, unicorn pre-IPO equities, and leading companies in Japan and South Korea. This further strengthens HTX’s position in multi-market stock coverage.

Key assets including Zhongji InnoLight (ZHONGJI), GigaDevice (GIGADEV), Unitree Robotics (UNITREE), Shein (SHEIN), PDD Holdings (PDD), SoftBank (SOFTBANK), Samsung Electro-Mechanics (SAMSUNGEM), Nikkei 225 (JP225), and the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KR200/KODEX200) were added successively. The addition of Japanese and Korean markets and global indices further expanded the platform’s asset coverage beyond U.S. equities, giving users more direct access to opportunities across global markets.

The spot market also continued adding trending assets. In August, HTX became the first platform to list the Chinese memecoin 牛来 (Niu Lai), which gained as much as 460% after listing.

AI-related assets TAO and DOS were also listed during the month, with TAO ranking among the industry’s leading assets by market capitalization. HTX consistently demonstrates agility in capturing trending market assets.
