View ChartHTX is the governance token of HTX DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization built to support the continued development of the decentralized economy. The token operates as an integral part of the broader HTX ecosystem, which also includes the HTX cryptocurrency exchange. Huobi, the exchange behind the ecosystem, was founded in 2013 and rebranded to HTX in September 2023; the HTX governance token launched in 2023. HTX is listed on CoinMarketCap under the Ethereum Ecosystem and BNB Chain Ecosystem tags, and the explorer listed for it is tronscan.org. The token has an initial and maximum supply of 999,990,000,000,000 HTX, with a circulating supply of approximately 898.23 trillion tokens, representing roughly 89.82% of the total supply. The project positions itself as a bridge between centralized exchange (CeFi) benefits and decentralized finance (DeFi) opportunities.
HTX traces its origins to Huobi, which was founded in 2013 by Leon Li. The organization rebranded to HTX in September 2023. The project is managed by Huobi Global's executive team, led by founder Leon Li, and includes professionals with experience in technology, finance, and related fields. Key people cited in available references include Leon Li as Chairman and Founder, Jiawei Zhu as COO, and Xianfeng Cheng as CTO. Some database profiles list Du Jun (also written Jun Du) as a founder and chief executive figure. HTX is Seychelles-based, with offices in Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and the United States. HTX DAO itself operates without formal registration, functioning as a decentralized assembly of token holders.
HTX functions as the governance token of HTX DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization that entrusts governance to the global community of token holders, developers, and partners. Token holders participate in decentralized governance through voting, which is designed to be transparent, secure, and efficient. The HTX DAO distinguishes itself through an Ecosystem Liquidity Pledge, which encourages voluntary pledging of HTX tokens as ecosystem liquidity for development purposes. This mechanism aims to bolster liquidity and catalyze the growth of DeFi applications and developer activities across multiple ecosystems. According to HTX DAO's published materials, the DAO plans to receive liquidity pledges from the HTX exchange and the Poloniex exchange in the future; no timeline has been disclosed. Other partners and community members are also welcome to contribute voluntarily. The token also facilitates transactions, offers fee discounts, and grants access to exclusive ecosystem features and services.
HTX distinguishes itself through several core characteristics. First, it emphasizes decentralized, open governance by entrusting decision-making to the global community rather than a centralized authority. Second, the Ecosystem Liquidity Pledge model incentivizes token use and voluntary contributions, creating a shared liquidity pool that supports DeFi growth. Third, HTX bridges DeFi and CeFi benefits, allowing holders to enjoy both the advantages of HTX DAO participation and various privileges on the HTX exchange. Fourth, the project prioritizes transparency, security, and efficiency in its voting mechanisms. HTX states in its white paper that it has institutionalized Proof-of-Reserve disclosures, describing transparency as a baseline for survival. HTX's 2026 Digital Asset Trends White Paper highlights AI-driven finance and AI agents as trends reshaping digital assets.
The HTX token serves multiple functions within the HTX DAO ecosystem. It is primarily used for decentralized governance, allowing holders to vote on proposals and participate in community decision-making. The token facilitates transactions within the ecosystem and offers fee discounts on the associated exchange platform. It also grants access to exclusive ecosystem features and services. Through the Ecosystem Liquidity Pledge, holders can voluntarily pledge their HTX tokens to support ecosystem liquidity and development. The distribution strategy prioritizes contributors, community programs, development initiatives, partnerships, and platform growth. HTX holders can benefit from both the advantages of HTX DAO and various privileges on the HTX exchange, getting fully involved in the DeFi and CeFi ecosystems simultaneously.
The HTX ecosystem continues to expand through several ongoing initiatives. According to HTX DAO's published materials, the DAO plans to receive liquidity pledges from the HTX exchange and the Poloniex exchange in the future; no timeline has been disclosed. Other partners and community members are invited to contribute voluntarily. HTX released its 2026 Digital Asset Trends White Paper in spring 2026 (release dates reported as March 31 and April 7, 2026). The paper identifies ten pivotal trends poised to reshape the digital asset landscape, including institutional adoption, tokenization, and AI agents. On 18 August 2026, HTX said it was investigating small transfers received by several addresses after community members attributed them to HTX, and denied sending them. HTX runs periodic trading campaigns and sign-up offers, such as "Sign up, trade, and earn up to $1,500".
HTX is not a mineable cryptocurrency. It is issued as a token on blockchain platforms and does not rely on proof-of-work mining. There is no mining mechanism associated with HTX. Token acquisition occurs through trading on supported exchanges or through participation in ecosystem activities. The HTX DAO operates without formal registration and emphasizes autonomy and collective governance rather than mining-based distribution. Detailed public information on staking or yield mechanisms is currently limited in available references. Community members may participate in governance and liquidity pledge initiatives as alternative ways to engage with the token ecosystem.
Keeping HTX tokens safe requires standard cryptocurrency security practices. Use a reputable wallet that supports the Tron20 platform, as HTX operates on that network. For long-term storage, consider hardware wallets that keep private keys offline. Always verify contract addresses before interacting with any token, and use the official explorer at tronscan.org to confirm transactions. Enable two-factor authentication on any exchange accounts holding HTX. Be cautious of phishing attempts and unofficial links. Since HTX DAO operates without formal registration and emphasizes autonomy, users should independently verify governance proposals and community communications. Keep software and wallet firmware updated, and never share private keys or seed phrases with anyone. Proof-of-Reserve disclosures can help users check reported reserves, but they are not a guarantee of solvency or of asset safety; exchange-held assets remain exposed to counterparty risk.
HTX is listed on select cryptocurrency exchanges; check that any venue you use is properly registered in your jurisdiction. Leveraged and perpetual contracts can amplify losses and are not suitable for every investor.
HTX services are not available in certain jurisdictions, including Singapore, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong SAR, Mainland China, the United States and all EU member states; users in those regions must not access HTX, including via VPNs.
