HTX launches a grand 13th anniversary celebration: $1 million prize pool and 13 challenges for users
The cryptocurrency exchange HTX has officially launched a series of events marking its 13th anniversary. The celebration kicks off on August 13, 2026, at 08:13 Moscow time under the slogan "Reliability, Proven by Time" and will last exactly one month. During this period, users will need to complete 13 tasks in a special challenge to gain access to tiered rewards, including a chance at the grand prize.
Challenge Mechanics: From Simple to Complex
A key feature of the promotion is its accessibility to all categories of traders. Contrary to expectations that the tasks would be aimed only at major players, the entry threshold here is minimal. To light the first "treasure of the future," it is enough to post a birthday wish for the exchange or purchase HTX worth at least 50 USDT. Spot trades of 130 USDT unlock an additional level. At the same time, individual tasks are tied to specific ecosystem products — Earn, margin trading, futures, the P2P platform, online top-ups, trading bots, and even the TradFi segment.
In total, there are 13 "treasures," each bringing the participant closer to the next level of privileges. The reward system is structured in stages: 3 treasures earn a basic gift, 6 unlock an expanded one, and 9 grant access to HTX tokens and random prizes. Reaching 11 treasures entitles the participant to a daily cash payout, which occurs at 08:13 Moscow time on a first-come, first-served basis. The final milestone — 13 treasures — enters the participant into the draw for the grand prize.
Grand Prize and Prize Pool
The campaign's total prize pool is $1 million, distributed across numerous areas: spot, futures, margin trading, and other products. The grand prize includes a research grant 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 issued for the exchange's 13th anniversary.
The promotion will run from 08:13 Moscow time on August 13 until 08:13 Moscow time on September 13, 2026. HTX invites the global community to join the challenge: one completed task — one lit "treasure of the future."
Cryptalist Analytics
HTX's strategy appears well-thought-out: instead of one-off bonuses, the exchange is building a long-term campaign that encourages users to explore all ecosystem products. This is not just a marketing move but also a tool for retaining an audience amid growing competition. However, it is worth noting that the real value of the promotion will depend on the transparency of reward distribution and the actual volume of payouts — in an industry where loud promises are not always backed by execution, this aspect will be key to community trust.
