Since the start of Q4, the crypto market has continued to weaken amid volatility. Major asset prices have pulled back from their highs, and market participants have become more cautious. As the market cools, HTX has focused its efforts on solidifying its trading fundamentals and offering diverse yield generation pathways. In October, HTX saw a significant overall improvement in the market depth of its core spot trading pairs, with the 0.05% depth for the BTC/USDT pair increasing by 78%. Meanwhile, the platform’s total count of stock trading assets grew to 307, with cumulative TradFi trading volume surpassing 7.5 billion USDT. At the end of October, HTX Earn launched the APY Boost Promotion as part of the HTX Winter Campaign, delivering stable yield options for users amid fluctuating market conditions.
Overall Spot Depth Enhancement, Ensuring Smoother Execution for Large-Volume Trades
In October, HTX continued to strengthen its collaboration with professional market makers, improving market-making support, order book depth, and the overall trading environment, which contributed to an overall improvement in the market depth of its core spot trading pairs. Taking BTC/USDT as an example, the pair’s 0.01% depth increased by 42% in October, while its 0.05% depth jumped by 78%. Deeper market depth ensures that orders of the same size have a smaller price impact, allowing large-volume trades to be executed closer to market price. For core assets like BTC, this means users can easily execute trades even during periods of severe market volatility.
Centered around the two core assets of BTC and ETH, HTX also rolled out a series of trading rewards in October, including trading challenges, fee rebates, trading lucky draws, and iPhone Duo theme activities, with the flagship trading challenge attracting over 10,000 participants.
Asset Matrix Continues to Expand, Stock Trading Assets Reach 307 Types
In October, HTX Futures launched 40 new assets, including 29 selected stocks and ETFs alongside 11 crypto assets. To date, the platform’s number of stock trading assets has grown to 307, covering core US stocks, major global indices and ETFs, biopharmaceuticals, energy infrastructure, and Asia-Pacific market leaders. Overall platform liquidity and user activity have both reached new highs.
This month’s new listings focused on sectors including AI computing power and hardware innovation, biopharmaceuticals and healthcare, mass consumption and high-dividend blue chips, as well as Asia-Pacific core markets and frontier technologies. Targets such as STMicroelectronics (STM), United Microelectronics (UMC), Synopsys (SNPS), Constellation Energy (CEG), Pfizer (PFE), Boeing (BA), Procter & Gamble (PG), McDonald’s (MCD), Starbucks (SBUX), Indonesia Index ETF (EIDO), and Taiyo Yuden (TAIYOYUDEN) were rolled out in succession, offering a balanced mix of growth-oriented tech stocks and defensive assets like consumer goods and pharmaceuticals.
As HTX continues to expand its asset offerings, cumulative TradFi trading volume has surpassed $7.5 billion, with $1.5 billion added in October alone.
In the spot asset category, new listings introduced by HTX in October primarily centered around the AI sector, featuring projects such as POD, AXIS, DNA, and NMR. Notably, Axis Robotics (AXIS), which focuses on physical AI and robotics training data, was jointly launched as a primary listing by HTX, surging by up to 37% following its debut.

In October, user interest in HTX Earn continued to rise. SVIP Flexible subscriptions among users with large holdings remained exceptionally popular, with participating users increasing by 16.1% month-on-month and subscription volume surging by over 20% month-on-month.

Each user can subscribe for up to 2 million USDT worth of each respective asset in the 7-day fixed product for that asset. By subscribing to all seven assets, a user can access a combined boosted APY quota of up to approximately 14 million USDT, fully accommodating the asset allocation needs of users with large holdings. After the products mature, users can subscribe again, ensuring strong liquidity for their funds.
In terms of borrowing, HTX’s USDT loan interest rates maintained robust competitiveness across the industry. In October, the platform’s annualized USDT loan interest rate ranged from 4.75% to 5.3%, with discounted rates for large-volume borrowers as low as 3.84%, empowering users to unlock the capital potential of their holdings at lower costs. During the HTX Margin Autumn Craze, USDT loan scale grew by 18.6% month-on-month, and margin trading volume surged by over 128%. Currently, the HTX Margin Trading & Borrowing Bonanza Month is underway and will run through November 25, offering 7 tiers of rewards for USDT loans alongside up to a 50% fee rebate on trades during the Margin Trading Contest.
In the OTC sector, HTX has continued to expand payment channels for its OTC Desk, partnering with multiple payment providers to further optimize the user trading experience and reduce transaction costs.
