HTX launches a grand 13th anniversary celebration: $1 million prize pool and 13 challenges for the community
The cryptocurrency exchange HTX has officially launched a series of events dedicated to its 13th anniversary. The anniversary campaign under the motto "Reliability, Proven by Time" started on August 13, 2026, at 08:13 Moscow time and will last exactly one month. During this time, users will need to complete 13 tasks in the "growth challenge," ignite the "treasures of the future," and compete for an impressive prize pool of $1 million.
Participation Mechanics: From Beginner to Pro
The main question many have is: are all the challenges really designed only for large traders? Not at all. The entry threshold here is minimal—to ignite the first treasure, 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. Additionally, some tasks are tied to specific products: Earn, margin trading, futures, the P2P platform, online deposits, trading bots, and even traditional financial instruments (TradFi).
It is important to understand that you do not have to take on all 13 challenges at once. Each user can choose the most comfortable scenario for themselves, gradually progressing through levels and increasing the size of potential rewards.
Reward Structure: From Basic Gifts to the Grand Prize
The reward system is designed to reward every step forward. Here is how privileges are distributed depending on the number of ignited treasures:
- 3 treasures — a basic growth gift.
- 6 treasures — an extended growth gift.
- 9 treasures — HTX tokens and other random rewards.
- 11 treasures — the right to a daily cash reward. The claiming window opens every day at 08:13 Moscow time, the quantity is limited, and distribution occurs on a first-come, first-served basis.
- 13 treasures — the main milestone. Participants receive significant payouts in $HTX, and after publishing the campaign banner—a chance to compete for the grand prize.
The grand prize includes: a future research fund of 2000 USDT, a fully paid trip to TOKEN2049 in Singapore with airfare and accommodation, as well as a premium limited-edition gift released specifically for HTX's 13th anniversary.
A Celebration That Unites
HTX's journey over thirteen years has run parallel to the development of the entire digital asset industry. During this time, the platform has weathered several market cycles, and its users—from the first spot trades to complex derivatives strategies. The anniversary campaign is not just a giveaway of prizes but a way to express gratitude to the global community that has supported the exchange throughout this time.
The promotion will run from 08:13 Moscow time on August 13 until 08:13 Moscow time on September 13, 2026. HTX invites everyone to join the celebration: one completed task—one ignited treasure of the future. The earlier you start, the more time you will have to complete all levels and receive maximum privileges.
My take: HTX demonstrates a competent approach to audience retention, combining gamification with real value for users. In the face of fierce competition among exchanges, such campaigns not only boost loyalty but also encourage familiarity with ecosystem products. Given the generosity of the prize pool, increased activity should be expected from both retail traders and institutional participants interested in the trip to TOKEN2049.
