HTX launches a grand 13th anniversary celebration: a $1 million prize pool and a hunt for "treasures of the future"
The cryptocurrency exchange HTX, one of the oldest players in the industry, has officially launched a series of events dedicated to its 13th anniversary. The anniversary campaign under the slogan "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 formed an impressive prize fund of $1 million and prepared a multi-level reward system, including a chance to win the main prize.
The key feature of the promotion is the "treasures of the future" mechanic. Users will need to complete a series of 13 challenges, each of which unlocks access to new levels of privileges. It is important to emphasize: the organizers designed the scenario so that participation is comfortable for both beginners and experienced traders. The entry threshold is minimal — just publish a birthday wish or purchase HTX worth at least 50 USDT. Spot trades of 130 USDT unlock an additional treasure. Individual tasks are tied to ecosystem products: Earn, margin trading, futures, P2P, online top-ups, trading bots, and even TradFi instruments.
Reward mechanics: from the base level to the main prize
The reward system is built on a progression principle. Rewards are credited for each completed task, and the more "treasures" are lit, the more valuable the prizes:
- 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 cash prize for the anniversary. The claiming window opens daily at 08:13 Moscow time, the quantity is limited, and distribution is 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 main prize.
The main prize includes: a research fund of 2000 USDT, a fully paid trip to TOKEN2049 in Singapore (including airfare and accommodation), as well as an exclusive limited-edition gift set released specifically for the exchange's 13th anniversary.
A strategic view of the anniversary campaign
Notably, HTX is not limited to spot trading alone. The prize fund is distributed across spot, futures, margin trading, and other areas, which indicates the platform's desire to engage the widest possible audience. There is no single path to prizes — each user can choose the most comfortable scenario for themselves. The earlier you start, the more time remains to complete all 13 tasks and reach the highest levels of privileges.
The promotion will run from 08:13 Moscow time on August 13 to 08:13 Moscow time on September 13, 2026. HTX invites the global community to walk this path together: one completed task — one lit "treasure of the future."
Analyst's comment: Such anniversary campaigns are not just a marketing move, but an important tool for retaining loyalty in a highly competitive environment. HTX is betting on gamification and multi-product engagement, which allows not only attracting new users but also reminding existing ones of the breadth of its ecosystem. However, the key question is how transparent and fair the distribution system for the main prizes will be, because trust is the main asset of any exchange that has survived more than one market cycle.
