May 2026 was a month of both trials and hope for the global crypto industry. The AI narrative continued to gain momentum, traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto assets accelerated their convergence, and institutional capital steadily entered the market. For Huobi HTX—and its tens of millions of users—May held special significance: it served as testimony to a shared journey through stormy weather, and as a commitment fulfilled through action.

In May, Huobi HTX proactively addressed regulatory concerns, engaged constructively with all stakeholders, and advanced resolution efforts responsibly—all in service of healthy industry development. According to CoinMarketCap (CMC) data, as of June 10, Huobi HTX recorded net inflows exceeding $27.5 million over the past seven days—the highest among major centralized exchanges globally. Capital does not lie: users expressed their confidence in Huobi HTX through concrete action—casting a weighty vote of trust.

Through wind and rain, we are grateful for your companionship. In May, Huobi HTX upheld “users first” across four key dimensions—asset expansion, yield protection, product deepening, and ecosystem co-construction—delivering a warm, substantive performance report for the month: platform-wide spot trading volume rose 3.11% month-on-month; derivatives market share steadily rebounded; the TradFi asset matrix expanded to 75 instruments; and monthly TradFi trading volume surpassed $1 billion. Every figure reflects a direct response to user trust; every initiative builds momentum for the next phase of growth.

Security First, “Gratitude for Your Presence”: Transparency and Commitment as Rewards for Trust

Trust is the most valuable asset; security is the best return.

Faced with external pressures, Huobi HTX users did not depart—they chose to stay. To honor that trust, Huobi HTX responded with unwavering transparency: consistent on-chain proof-of-reserves (PoR) disclosures. Per the latest Merkle-tree-based PoR data, as of June 1, 2026 (UTC+8), Huobi HTX maintained reserve ratios above 100% across all major assets. As one of the earliest platforms in the industry to publish Merkle-tree PoR reports continuously, Huobi HTX has disclosed PoR data publicly for 44 consecutive months—providing long-term assurance for user asset safety. Users may access the “Assets – Proof of Reserves Report” page on the Huobi HTX official website.

Security is non-negotiable; gratitude is our attitude. Recently, Huobi HTX launched its “Thank You for Your Trust, Walking With You” User Care Program. From June 1 to June 15, 2026, the platform will distribute care airdrop packages worth over $10 million to all users. Ten benefit-focused campaigns—spanning trading, earn products, lending, and customer support—will help users optimize capital allocation efficiency and deliver an enhanced trading experience. Additionally, the May Pizza Festival attracted 130,000 participants—including 11,000 new users—with over $130,000 USDT already distributed in rewards.

Over thirteen years, Huobi HTX has navigated bull and bear markets alongside global users, weathering industry volatility together. Moving forward, Huobi HTX will continue safeguarding assets with uncompromising security—and rewarding loyal users with ever-greater benefits. Sincerely, thank you—for staying with us during the toughest times.
Spot & Earn: Breakout Assets & Realized Yield



In May, Huobi HTX ran targeted trading incentive programs across major and trending assets—including BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI, TON, ZEC, HYPE, and WLD—drawing over 20,000 participating users and generating total spot trading volume exceeding $500 million USDT. BTC alone accounted for over 70% of participants in its dedicated campaign—demonstrating strong user confidence in Huobi HTX’s capacity to serve mainstream assets. Meanwhile, Huobi HTX executed a full-cycle “72-Hour Rapid Challenge” to rapidly identify emerging trends, launch corresponding campaigns, and reach users—driving standout performance from assets such as SKYAI and HYPE.

On new listings, six tokens debuted in May—including three first-time launches: BILL, ZEST, and CTR. BILL and ZEST peaked at +300% and +124%, respectively, delivering tangible wealth effects for users who consistently follow Huobi HTX’s new asset pipeline.

The Earn segment also delivered strong results. Annualized yields on stablecoin demand deposits (USDT, USDD, USDC) reached up to 10%—reinforcing Huobi HTX’s industry-leading position. VIP demand deposit products continued receiving strong praise from high-net-worth clients, while staking volumes for major PoS tokens increased nearly 20%. Ten popular new token Earn products launched in May, driving total subscription value to $10 million USDT. A gratitude-themed airdrop of 1.5 billion $HTX attracted 20,000 participants and raised $20 million USDT.

Derivatives & P2P: TradFi Asset Count Surges to 75; Huobi P2P Launches SVIP Premium Hub

Derivatives was one of May’s most breakthrough segments. The derivatives offering underwent major expansion: 51 new assets launched—including 42 equity instruments and 9 new tokens—bringing supported TradFi instruments to 75 across four high-demand sectors: AI semiconductors, consumer finance, new energy, and high-end technology. Core AI compute names—including AMD, AVGO, QCOM, and ARM—as well as defensive stalwarts like NFLX, JPM, and LLY, plus pre-IPO frontier assets such as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic, were all integrated into Huobi HTX’s derivatives suite. Users can now trade these global flagship assets directly on Huobi HTX—without withdrawing funds. May’s TradFi trading volume exceeded $1 billion, while overall derivatives volume rose 5% month-on-month.

Huobi HTX’s YuBiBao (YBB) achieved a daily average APY of 2.33% in May, peaking at 4.11% on a single day—a 0.61 percentage-point increase versus April’s daily average APY. With zero entry barrier, no lock-up requirements, and daily yield distribution, YBB continues to lead peers. More excitingly, the USDD-dedicated YBB product offering a 4% APY will go live in June—enabling USDD holders to simultaneously earn stable yields and use their holdings as margin collateral, significantly boosting capital efficiency.

On the P2P front, Huobi HTX launched its premium SVIP Hub in May. Through six core privileges and end-to-end personalized services, the SVIP Hub deepens refined operations for high-net-worth users—completing Huobi HTX’s full-lifecycle P2P product matrix (“Classic Hub → Select Hub → SVIP Premium Hub”). This elevates Huobi HTX P2P from a simple order-matching platform to a tiered asset services ecosystem catering to diverse user segments.

Product & Compliance: Continuous Product Innovation, Steady Regulatory Progress—Fueling Trust Long-Term

In May, Huobi HTX’s derivatives system underwent multiple user-centric upgrades—making every trade faster, more transparent, and safer: limit orders added trailing-order functionality; the web interface introduced real-time estimated liquidation price display—clarifying risk boundaries at a glance; leverage settings can now be batch-adjusted and synced across multiple pairs with one click; the position dashboard added realized P&L and breakeven price fields—enhancing position management transparency; and the web interface rolled out profit-sharing functionality—letting users instantly generate celebratory posters upon realizing gains.

The copy-trading ecosystem also grew rapidly. Trader monthly trading volume hit $150 million—a 66% increase month-on-month; the “First-Order Guarantee” mechanism drove new-user growth by 35%, while copy-trading volume rose 55% MoM. Grid trading generated $260 million in volume—a 29% increase MoM. Key features—including mobile grid trading and adjustable range parameters—will roll out in June to further meet sophisticated traders’ needs.

On compliance, Huobi HTX’s Kyrgyzstan virtual asset exchange project made significant progress: the licensing pathway, regulatory requirements, and business scope have been largely defined, and the project has formally entered the platform deployment preparation stage. Core modules—including KYC/AML, risk management, and security infrastructure—are advancing in parallel, deepening Huobi HTX’s Central Asian compliance footprint.

Looking Ahead to June: Gratitude Beyond Words; Benefits Already En Route

The May performance report stands as a declaration of renewed confidence—forged in adversity. #1 global net inflows, $1 billion+ TradFi monthly volume, $10 million+ in user care benefits… Behind each milestone lies joint effort between Huobi HTX and its users.

In June, Huobi HTX will continue embedding “users first” into every detail—advancing the User Care Program, launching the Ceffu third-party custody public beta, rolling out the USDD-dedicated YBB APY, and debuting additional product enhancements. Supported by robust product capabilities and broad ecosystem integration, Huobi HTX is building a more complete, secure, and rewarding digital asset participation experience. A great platform doesn’t just empower you during bull markets—it quietly gets better, day after day. Huobi HTX stands firm, walking beside you through every storm.
