The major cryptocurrency platform HTX has officially launched a series of events marking its 13th anniversary. The anniversary campaign under the motto "Reliability, Proven by Time" kicked off on August 13, 2026, at 08:13 Moscow time and will run for exactly one month. As part of the celebration, the exchange has prepared a prize pool of $1 million, as well as a unique participation mechanic based on completing tasks and unlocking multi-tiered rewards.

The Mechanic: From Simple to Complex

At the core of the promotion is the so-called "growth challenge," consisting of 13 trials. Contrary to possible concerns that the tasks would be designed exclusively for large traders, HTX has provided scenarios for users with varying experience and capital sizes. The entry threshold is minimal: to light up the first "treasure of the future," it is enough to post a wish for the exchange's anniversary or purchase HTX worth at least 50 USDT. Spot trades of 130 USDT unlock access to the next level. Individual trials are tied to specific ecosystem products—Earn, margin trading, futures, the P2P platform, online top-ups, trading bots, and even the TradFi segment.

Reward System: 13 Treasures and the Grand Prize

A key feature of the campaign is the progression of rewards. The more tasks completed, the more valuable the prizes. The structure is as follows:

• 3 treasures — a basic growth gift;
• 6 treasures — an expanded set of bonuses;
• 9 treasures — HTX tokens and random rewards;
• 11 treasures — eligibility for a daily cash payout (the window opens at 08:13 Moscow time, quantity is limited, distribution is on a first-come, first-served basis);
• 13 treasures — the final milestone, granting access to the grand prize drawing.

The grand prize includes a research fund of 2000 USDT, a fully paid trip to the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore (airfare and accommodation), as well as an exclusive limited-edition gift set released for the exchange's 13th anniversary. Additionally, the campaign includes daily cash giveaways.

Strategic Perspective

Note: HTX is actively promoting not only spot trading but also its derivatives products, futures, and services for institutional users. This is a signal that the exchange is betting on the comprehensive development of its ecosystem rather than one-off retail trader acquisition. For the market, this is a positive indicator: mature platforms continue to invest in audience loyalty despite volatility.

The promotion will run until 08:13 Moscow time on September 13, 2026. Given the generosity of the prize pool and the low entry threshold, it is worth participating as early as possible—the number of daily payouts is limited, and competition for top rewards will be high.
