HTX Releases October Report Card: Spot Depth Improves Across the Board, Earn Rate-Boost Campaign Accompanies Users in "Warm Winter Together"

Entering the fourth quarter, the crypto market has continued to weaken in choppy trade, with major asset prices falling back from their highs and market participation turning cautious. As sentiment cooled, HTX directed more of its energy toward shoring up its core trading fundamentals and offering diversified ways to earn. In October just past, market depth for HTX's core spot trading pairs improved across the board, with BTC/USDT's 0.05% depth up 78%; tradeable stock assets on the platform rose to 307, and cumulative TradFi trading volume topped $7.5 billion. At month's end, the "Warm Winter Together" earn rate-boost campaign officially went live, bringing users a steady yield option amid volatile markets.

Spot Depth Improves Across the Board, Large Orders Fill More Comfortably

In October, HTX continued to deepen cooperation with professional market makers, optimizing market-making support, order book depth and the trading environment on multiple fronts, which produced an overall improvement in market depth for core spot trading pairs. Take BTC/USDT: in October, the pair's 0.01% depth rose 42% and its 0.05% depth rose 78%. The better the depth, the smaller the price impact of an order of the same size, so large trades can also be filled at prices closer to the market. For a core asset like BTC, this means users can still complete their buys and sells more comfortably even when the market swings sharply.

Around BTC and ETH, its two core assets, HTX also rolled out a series of trading perks in October, including trading challenges, fee cashback, trading lotteries and an iPhone Duo themed event. The flagship trading challenge alone drew more than 10,000 participants.

Asset Lineup Keeps Expanding, Stock Assets Rise to 307

In October, HTX Futures listed 40 new assets, including 29 selected stocks and ETFs and 11 crypto assets. As of now, tradeable stock assets on the platform have grown to 307, covering core US equities, major global indices and ETFs, biomedicine, energy infrastructure and Asia-Pacific market leaders, with both overall platform liquidity and user activity hitting new highs.

This month's listings focused on tracks such as AI computing power and hardware innovation, biomedicine and health, mass consumption and high-dividend blue chips, and core Asia-Pacific markets and frontier technology. STMicroelectronics (STM), United Microelectronics (UMC), Synopsys (SNPS), Constellation Energy (CEG), Pfizer (PFE), Boeing (BA), Procter & Gamble (PG), McDonald's (MCD), Starbucks (SBUX), the Indonesia ETF (EIDO) and Japan's Taiyo Yuden (TAIYOYUDEN) were listed in succession, balancing tech growth against defensive assets such as consumer and pharmaceutical names.

As the asset lineup continues to broaden, HTX TradFi's cumulative trading volume has surpassed $7.5 billion, of which $1.5 billion was added in October alone.

On the spot side, HTX's new listings in October were mainly in the AI sector, with projects such as POD, AXIS, DNA and NMR going live in succession. Among them, Axis Robotics (AXIS), which focuses on physical AI and robot training data, was co-first-listed by HTX and rose as much as 37% after listing.

Rate-Boost Subsidies on 7 Earn Products, USDT Borrowing Rates Stay Highly Competitive

In October, HTX Earn continued to heat up. SVIP flexible-term subscriptions aimed at large holders remained popular: subscribing users grew 16.1% month-on-month and subscription amounts grew more than 20% month-on-month.

On October 31, HTX launched the "Warm Winter Together" earn rate-boost campaign, offering rate-boost subsidies on 7-day fixed-term products for three major coins — BTC, ETH and TRX — and four stablecoins — USDT, USDC, USDS and USDD — with annualized yields of up to 10%. Each coin carries a maximum subscription quota of $2 million equivalent per person; across the seven coins combined, a single user's maximum rate-boost quota is about $14 million, fully meeting large holders' capital allocation needs. Products can be subscribed again after maturity, so funds also retain reasonably good liquidity.

On the lending side, HTX's USDT borrowing rates remain strongly competitive within the industry. In October, the platform's annualized USDT borrowing rate was 4.75% to 5.3%, and large clients could get as low as 3.84% after discounts, letting users unlock the capital potential of their holdings at a lower cost. During the Golden Autumn double-holiday leverage season, USDT outstanding borrowings grew 18.6% month-on-month and leveraged trading volume grew more than 128%. Currently, Leverage Carnival Month is underway and runs until November 25, with seven tiers of rewards for borrowing USDT and up to 50% fee rebates in leveraged token trading competitions.

Security and Compliance Work Advances Steadily

Asset security is an important standard by which users choose a trading platform. In October, HTX C2C's Chinese-language zone continued to refine its 7×24 trade dispute handling mechanism and its multi-level review system for large-amount appeals, achieving zero asset-loss incidents. For nighttime trading scenarios, the platform upgraded the merchant assessment mechanism for its nighttime service express line and implemented periodic dynamic adjustments, continuously improving response efficiency for nighttime orders. On fiat bulk trading, HTX reached cooperation with several payment channels to further lower users' transaction costs.

On compliance, HTX continued in October to deepen constructive communication with relevant regulatory authorities, pushing for the proper resolution of relevant matters, while further refining and implementing compliance operations measures, creating more favorable conditions for focusing on user service and advancing long-term development.

$HTX Q3 Burn Delivers Strong Results, TOKEN2049 Showcases Brand Influence

On October 15, HTX DAO completed the Q3 2026 $HTX burn. A total of about 9.39 trillion $HTX was burned, worth about $15.48 million, with the burned amount up about 25.6% month-on-month.

HTX DAO, meanwhile, hosted several side events during the summit. At "Future Night," Justin Sun, HTX global advisor and a core supporter of HTX DAO, shared via video his views on crypto industry trends and the future development of the digital economy, listing the free flow of value in the digital world as an important trend worth continued attention over the next decade; at the VIP private dinner, the HTX team held in-depth talks with industry representatives, ecosystem contributors and partners, exchanging views on topics including industry development, market changes and product experience, creating the conditions to further mutual understanding as well as service optimization and cooperation expansion.
