May 2026 has been a month full of challenges and hope for the global cryptocurrency industry. The AI narrative continues to heat up, traditional finance integrates with crypto assets at an accelerated pace, and institutional funds steadily enter the market. For Huobi HTX and its tens of millions of users, this May carries even more special significance — it is a testament to the journey we have walked through stormy weather together and a commitment to responding to trust with action.

In May, Huobi HTX faced regulatory concerns head-on, actively communicated with all parties, and diligently worked to resolve issues to promote healthy industry development. According to CMC data, as of June 10, Huobi HTX recorded a net capital inflow of over 27.5 million USD in the past 7 days, ranking first among mainstream centralized exchanges worldwide. Funds do not lie; users voted a heavy trust vote for Huobi HTX with real actions.

Through rain and shine, we are grateful to have you with us. In May, Huobi HTX upheld user-first principles, simultaneously enhancing four dimensions: asset expansion, income guarantees, product deepening, and ecosystem co-construction, delivering a warm and substantial report card for May: the total trading volume of the platform increased by 3.11% month-on-month, and the contract market share steadily rebounded; the TradFi asset matrix surged to 75 types, with monthly TradFi trading volume surpassing 1 billion USD. Every number is a positive response to user trust; every construction is building momentum for the next stage of growth.

Safety first, "Grateful for You": Returning every bit of trust with transparency and commitment

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

In the face of external pressure, Huobi HTX users did not leave but chose to stay. This trust is received by Huobi HTX in the most solid way — through continuous and transparent asset reserve disclosures. According to the latest Merkle Tree Reserve Proof (PoR) data, as of June 1, 2026 (UTC+8), the reserve rates of all mainstream assets at Huobi HTX are maintained at over 100%. As one of the first platforms in the industry to continuously disclose Merkle Tree Reserve Proof, Huobi HTX has publicly disclosed PoR data for 44 consecutive months, providing long-term guarantees for users' asset safety. Users can visit the Huobi HTX official website’s “Asset - Reserve Proof Report” page for details.

Safety is the baseline, gratitude is the attitude. Recently, Huobi HTX launched aUser Care Program themed "Thank You for Your Trust, We Walk With You." From June 1 to June 15, 2026, the platform will distribute care airdrop packages worth over ten million USD to all users, offering ten benefit activities centered around trading, earning coins, lending, and customer service, helping users optimize capital allocation efficiency and achieve a superior trading experience. Additionally, the May Pizza Festival attracted 130,000 participants, including 11,000 new users, with over 130,000 USDT in rewards distributed so far.

For thirteen years, Huobi HTX has navigated bull and bear markets with global users, experiencing the industry's ups and downs together. In the future, Huobi HTX will continue to safeguard every long-time companion user with extreme safety and more benefits — sincere thanks, thank you for not leaving during the toughest times.

Spot and Earning Coins: Hot Assets Frequently Emerging, Earning Coin Returns Fully Realized



In May, Huobi HTX continued to conduct trading incentive activities around mainstream assets and market hot assets, focusing on high-interest cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI, TON, ZEC, HYPE, and WLD, driving participation to over 20,000 users, with total spot trading volume exceeding 500 million USDT. Among them, BTC accounted for over 70% of the activity participants in a single period, reflecting users’ high trust in the platform’s capacity to hold mainstream assets. At the same time, in response to short-term hot market trends, Huobi HTX established a complete closed loop from discovering hotspots to launching activities and reaching users through the "72H Rapid Challenge," with assets like SKYAI and HYPE performing outstandingly during the activity.

On the new assets front, six new cryptocurrencies were launched in May, of which BILL, ZEST, and CTR are debut coins. BILL and ZEST achieved maximum gains of 300% and 124% respectively, bringing significant wealth effects for users who continue to pay attention to the platform's new assets.

The earning coin segment also had frequent highlights. Stablecoin savings USDT, USDD, and USDC reached annualized yields of up to 10%, continuing to solidify industry-leading advantages; VIP savings products received wide acclaim from large clients, with the outstanding scale of mainstream PoS type coins increasing by nearly 20%. In May, ten popular new coin earning products were successfully launched, collectively driving subscription amounts to 10 million U. The gratitude return event airdropped 1.5 billion $HTX, attracting 20,000 users and raising 20 million U.

Contracts and C2C: TradFi Landscape Expanding to 75 Types, Huobi C2C Launches Premium SVIP Station

Contract business was one of the most groundbreaking segments in May. The contract business experienced significant expansion in May: 51 new assets were launched (including 42 stock assets and 9 new coins), supporting stock trading assets surged to 75 types, covering four popular sectors: AI semiconductors, consumer finance, new energy, and high-end technology. Core AI computing assets like AMD, AVGO, QCOM, ARM, as well as stable defensive assets like NFLX, JPM, LLY, and cutting-edge pre-IPO targets like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are all included in the contract system. Users can participate in trading global core assets without withdrawing funds. In May, TradFi monthly trading volume exceeded 1 billion USD, with overall contract trading volume increasing by 5% month-on-month.

The Yubi Treasure’s daily average annualized yield in May reached 2.33%, with a maximum daily annualized yield of 4.11%, improving by 0.61% from April’s daily average annualized yield. With no participation threshold, no locking restrictions, and daily distribution of earnings, it continues to lead similar products in the industry. Even more exciting, a dedicated 4% annual yield for USDD Yubi Treasure will go live in June, allowing USDD holders to enjoy stable earnings and serve as contract collateral, significantly enhancing fund utilization efficiency.

In C2C, the launch of the SVIP Premium Station in May deepened refined operations for high-net-worth users through six core benefits and exclusive lifecycle services, perfecting the whole lifecycle product matrix of “Classic Station - Selected Station - SVIP Premium Station,” upgrading Huobi HTX C2C from a single matchmaking trading platform to a comprehensive asset service system covering different user levels.

Products and Compliance: Continuous Upgrade of Product Power, Steady Deepening of Compliance for Sustaining Trust

In May, the contract system completed multiple upgrades centered on user experience, making each user transaction more efficient, transparent, and secure: limit order request now includes follow order types, while the WEB version introduced real-time displays of estimated liquidation prices, making risk boundaries clear at a glance; users can batch set leverage for multiple trading pairs with one click; the position page now includes realized profits and losses and breakeven price fields, making position management more transparent and intuitive; the WEB version launched a profit-sharing feature, allowing users to share joyful moments with just one click.

The follower ecosystem also maintained rapid growth.

Grid trading drove trading volume to 260 million USD, representing a 29% month-on-month increase. Major features such as mobile grid and range modification will launch in June, further satisfying the detailed needs of large clients.

On the compliance construction front, Huobi HTX's Kyrgyzstan virtual asset exchange project has made phased progress, with the licensing application path, regulatory requirements, and business scope being basically clarified. The project has officially entered the preparation stage for launching the trading platform, and orderly progress is being made around core modules such as KYC/AML, risk control, and safety infrastructure, further deepening compliance layout in Central Asia.
