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 under the slogan "Reliability, Proven by Time" started on August 13, 2026, at 08:13 MSK and will last exactly one month. The total prize pool reaches $1 million, and the participation mechanics are built around the so-called "treasures of the future" — a multi-level system of tasks and rewards.
Mechanics: from simple to complex
Unlike many standard retro campaigns where only a select few receive rewards, a phased system is provided here. Users are invited to complete 13 challenges, each of which brings them closer to the coveted prize. At the same time, the entry threshold 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.
The tasks cover virtually all ecosystem products: from Earn and margin trading to futures, the P2P platform, online top-ups, and even trading bots. This approach allows both beginners and experienced traders to participate, choosing the most convenient scenarios.
Reward tiers: from basic to the grand prize
The reward system is structured hierarchically and encourages completing all stages:
- 3 treasures — a basic gift for getting started;
- 6 treasures — an expanded set of bonuses;
- 9 treasures — HTX tokens and random prizes;
- 11 treasures — the right to a daily cash reward. The claiming window opens every day at 08:13 MSK, but 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 super prize.
The grand prize includes: a research fund of 2000 USDT, a fully paid trip to TOKEN2049 in Singapore (airfare and accommodation), and an exclusive limited-edition gift set for the exchange's 13th anniversary.
Market analysis and conclusions
It is worth noting that HTX, founded in 2013, has weathered more than one market cycle, and the current campaign is not just a marketing move but an attempt to strengthen community loyalty amid fierce competition. Tying tasks to real products (Earn, margin trading, P2P) is a smart step that not only distributes prizes but also encourages users to explore new platform tools.
In my opinion, the key intrigue remains the daily distribution of cash prizes at 08:13 MSK. The limited pool and first-come, first-served principle create a buzz that could lead to high demand in the first minutes after the window opens. I recommend participants plan their strategy in advance and not put off completing tasks until the last days — the earlier you start, the better your chances of reaching the upper levels and the grand prize.
