Frequently asked questions

Question 1

What is HTX and where is it based/located?

Accepted Answer

HTX is a centralized exchange (CEX) offering Spot, Margin, Futures, and trading bots. HTX was founded by Leon Li in China in 2013. HTX previously operated through a Seychelles-registered company. However, UK regulatory filings identify a Panama-incorporated company as the claimed successor operator of HTX, following the former Seychelles company's removal from the register in October 2023. These filings do not establish a current physical headquarters for HTX.

Question 2

Is HTX safe & legit?

Accepted Answer

HTX has experienced security breaches, including approximately $8 million stolen in September 2023 and a reported $30 million loss in November 2023. HTX also faces UK legal proceedings over allegedly unlawful cryptoasset promotions. HTX offers passkey authentication and publishes proof-of-reserves disclosures, but these measures should not be treated as a guarantee against losses. HTX prohibits users from the United States under the HTX user agreement. Before depositing funds with HTX, check local eligibility and regulatory protections rather than assuming that an established trading history guarantees safety.
