HTX launches a grand 13th-anniversary celebration: a $1 million prize pool and a hunt for "treasures of the future"
The cryptocurrency exchange HTX has officially launched a series of events marking its 13th anniversary. The anniversary campaign, running under the motto "Reliability, Proven by Time," started on August 13, 2026, at 08:13 Moscow time and will last exactly one month. As part of the celebration, the platform has established an impressive prize pool of $1 million, distributed across multiple levels and activities.
The key mechanic of the anniversary promotion is the "Growth Challenge," which includes 13 trials. Participants will need to light up "treasures of the future" — special in-platform rewards that unlock upon completing specific actions. It is important to note that the entry threshold is minimal: to activate the first "treasure," it is enough to post a birthday wish for the exchange or purchase HTX tokens worth at least 50 USDT. Spot trades of 130 USDT unlock another treasure. The developers have provided scenarios for users with different experience levels: tasks cover Earn products, margin trading, futures, the P2P segment, online top-ups, trading bots, and even TradFi tools.
Reward Progression: From Basic Gifts to the Grand Prize
The reward system is built on the principle of multi-level progression, where each lit "treasure" brings you closer to the coveted goal:
- 3 treasures — a basic growth gift;
- 6 treasures — an expanded set of bonuses;
- 9 treasures — HTX tokens and random rewards;
- 11 treasures — the right to a daily cash payout (the activation window opens at 08:13 Moscow time, quantity is limited, payouts are made on a first-come, first-served basis);
- 13 treasures — the main milestone, granting access to a draw for substantial prizes in $HTX and a chance at the grand prize after publishing the campaign banner.
The grand prize includes: a research fund of 2000 USDT, a fully paid trip to the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore (including airfare and accommodation), as well as an exclusive limited-edition gift set dedicated to the exchange's 13th anniversary.
Analytics and Participation Strategy
Such long-term campaigns are not just a marketing move but a well-thought-out strategy for retaining the audience and encouraging cross-product usage. HTX skillfully motivates users to explore all areas of the platform rather than focusing on a single tool. For experienced traders, this is an opportunity to gain real value from familiar actions, and for beginners, it is a low-barrier way to get acquainted with the ecosystem.
The promotion will run from 08:13 Moscow time on August 13 until 08:13 Moscow time on September 13, 2026. Given the limited pool of daily cash rewards and high competition for the grand prize, I recommend starting the trials as early as possible — this will allow you to methodically unlock all 13 levels and maximize your chances of success.
