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 mechanic — "Treasures of the Future," which participants can unlock by completing growth challenge tasks.

Rewards are credited for every step along the way to the goal. The prize pool includes: a grant for future research worth 2,000 USDT, a fully paid trip to the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore (including airfare and accommodation), exclusive limited-edition gifts for the 13th anniversary, as well as daily cash prizes drawn exactly at 08:13 Moscow time.

How to Ignite the First Treasure: Accessible to Everyone

Thirteen challenges may seem daunting, but the entry threshold here is minimal. To ignite the first "Treasure of the Future," it is enough to post a birthday wish or buy HTX worth at least 50 USDT. Spot trades of 130 USDT unlock another treasure. Additionally, individual tasks are tied to specific ecosystem products: Earn, margin trading, futures, P2P, on-chain deposits, trading bots, and even TradFi instruments.

Importantly, all 13 tasks cover different participation scenarios. You can start with the simplest and most familiar one — there is no need to tackle everything at once. Each ignited treasure brings you closer to the next tier of festive rewards.

From 3 to 13 Treasures: Rewards Grow

The value of the challenge lies not only in the final prize but also in the intermediate stages. Users complete tasks, undergo system verification, and unlock tiered privileges:

• 3 treasures — a basic growth gift.
• 6 treasures — an enhanced growth gift.
• 9 treasures — HTX tokens and other random rewards.
• 11 treasures — eligibility for a cash prize for the 13th anniversary. The claiming window opens daily at 08:13 Moscow time, quantities are 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 enter the grand prize draw.

The grand prize includes a fund for future research of 2,000 USDT, a fully paid trip to TOKEN2049 in Singapore, and a premium limited-edition gift for HTX's 13th anniversary.

$1 Million Prize Pool: Many Ways to Celebrate

In addition to the "Treasures of the Future," the exchange is running a series of special events with a total prize pool of $1 million. It covers spot, futures, margin trading, and other areas. There is no single path to prizes: both beginners and experienced users familiar with the exchange's product lineup will find a suitable way to participate. The earlier you start, the more time you will have to complete tasks and unlock higher privilege tiers.

Analytical Perspective

Such large-scale campaigns are not just a marketing move but an important tool for retaining an audience and driving activity within the ecosystem. Amid intense competition among exchanges, HTX is betting on gamification and engaging users across different products, which boosts their loyalty and LTV. For traders, this is also an opportunity to diversify their strategies and gain real benefits from performing routine actions.

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 take on this challenge together: one completed task — one ignited "Treasure of the Future."
