Crypto Exchange HTX Reports Strong Q2 Gains, Named Among Top 10 Global Exchanges

HTX Climbs Back Into Top Global Exchange Rankings As It Celebrates 12 Years

Cryptocurrency exchange HTX, formerly known as Huobi, has reported strong momentum in the second quarter of 2025, reclaiming a position among the world’s top platforms after 12 years in operation.

The company said it achieved growth across several key measures, aided by a steady operational strategy and new technology, as the digital asset market rallied in mid-August when Bitcoin and Ethereum returned to record highs and altcoins advanced sharply.

The period coincided with HTX’s 12th anniversary. Since its founding in 2013, the platform has focused on user security and innovation, and now begins its 13th year with several industry rankings to its name.

According to CoinGecko’s Q2 2025 Crypto Industry Report, HTX ranked first worldwide for spot trading volume growth, the highest increase among all exchanges in the period.

In CoinDesk’s July Exchange Review, HTX placed second globally for market share increase, behind Binance, reflecting an expanding user base and market depth.

Data provider CryptoQuant ranked HTX second worldwide for trading volume in new token listings, recording US$38 billion during the quarter, a sign of strong demand for early access to emerging digital assets.

HTX was also included in Bitcoin.com’s 2025 Top 10 Global Crypto Exchanges, praised as “one of the fastest-growing and most promising exchanges”.

The company said these results show the benefit of a long-term approach.

"HTX stood out in this recovery cycle by staying focused on its users, following a long-term vision, and continuously innovating its products and services. The platform has built a reliable trading environment while expanding its brand presence globally. Twelve years of persistent effort have laid a solid foundation for its steady growth."
