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, formerly known as Huobi, founded in 2013 and rebranded to HTX in September 2023. According to available references, HTX operates on the Tron20 platform and is tagged under the Ethereum Ecosystem and BNB Chain Ecosystem on CoinMarketCap. 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 launched in 2023 and 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. Du Jun and Jun Du are also cited as founders and chief executive figures in various database profiles. The organization is headquartered in Seychelles and has four executives according to CB Insights. 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. In the future, HTX DAO is set to receive liquidity pledges from the HTX exchange and the Poloniex exchange, while 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. Additionally, HTX has been cited as the first in the industry to implement Proof-of-Reserve (PoR) as a standard practice, using technology to achieve a clear and verifiable asset structure. The project also tracks cutting-edge technology through initiatives such as HTX AI Skills, which allows users to input natural language prompts for AI-driven market analysis, strategy generation, and execution assistance.
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. HTX DAO is set to receive liquidity pledges from the HTX exchange and the Poloniex exchange, with other partners and community members invited to contribute voluntarily. The platform has released an updated white paper for HTX DAO in August 2025, and in 2026 published a "Digital Asset Trends White Paper" identifying ten pivotal trends poised to reshape the digital asset landscape, including institutional adoption, tokenization, and AI agents. HTX has also launched HTX AI Skills for AI-driven market analysis and strategy generation. Recent developments include HTX Earn launching CRTS on NewList, HTX opening trading for AINVDA, and HTX supporting Nesa (NES) contract upgrades. The exchange marked its 13th anniversary with the "Resilience Reveals the Future" campaign and Trading Championship #3, distributing over 130,000 prizes.
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. The project emphasizes transparency and Proof-of-Reserve as a standard practice, which can help users verify asset backing.
