Huobi HTX C2C special action fully launched: After 5 months of "0 freezing" at the selected station, a strong crackdown on illegal merchants is underway again

On August 25, Huobi HTX announced the official launch of the C2C selection station's "Special Action Against Violating Merchants." It is noteworthy that since the launch of the selection station five months ago, Huobi HTX has achieved a record of "0 freezes" in user account judicial freeze incidents under the dual insurance mechanism of "0 freeze + 100% full compensation," becoming a rare safety achievement in the industry. The introduction of this special action aims to further strengthen the constraints on violating merchants, upgrade the risk control system comprehensively, and protect the core interests of users based on this achievement.

5 Months, 0 Freezes, 100% Safety Protection: C2C Safety Benchmark

In the past five months, the Huobi HTX C2C selection station has provided users with an unprecedentedly safe and efficient experience in fund deposits and withdrawals through a strict merchant admission mechanism, a 24/7 risk control system, and a 100% compensation commitment. Users do not need to worry about judicial freezes due to merchant violations, as Huobi HTX has fulfilled its promises with actual results.

However, there are still some merchants in the market attempting violations, such as non-real-name payments, malicious traffic diversion, and low-price order arbitrage. To ensure the long-term stability and safety of C2C transactions, Huobi HTX has chosen to take proactive measures and launch the "Special Action Against Violating Merchants."

Zero Tolerance for Violations, Immediate Expulsion for Violators

Huobi HTX C2C risk control adheres to the principles of "zero tolerance, full coverage, and deep tracing," conducting real-time risk monitoring and providing 24/7 security protection through intelligent identification technology to fully safeguard user funds. This special action clearly targets the following violations:

● Non-real-name payments: Any verified personal or corporate account will be immediately expelled, with the security deposit frozen and account functions permanently restricted; intermediaries engaging in "funds not passing through" will constitute serious violations, with security deposit freeze periods of up to 180 days.
● Judicial freeze risk: If a user's account is frozen due to merchant issues, it will directly trigger the expulsion mechanism.
● Malicious advertising and traffic diversion: Behaviors such as low-price orders diverting to high-price transactions and illegally pulling users to external platforms will all be included in the key rectification.
● Other violations: Such as failing to fulfill management obligations as required, refusing to cooperate with platform investigations, and maliciously evading debts will all face severe penalties.

Huobi HTX reiterates that for any behavior that harms user fund safety, it maintains a "zero tolerance" attitude. Once verified, violators will face immediate permanent bans, full deductions of security deposits, and ultimate penalties of being placed on the industry blacklist.

Three Phases of Special Action, Comprehensive Evolution of Risk Control System

This action adheres to the principles of "comprehensive investigation, precise strikes, and long-term prevention," and will be implemented in phases: from now until August 29 is the first phase, focusing on investigating and handling violating accounts; from August 29 to September 10 is the second phase, where typical cases will be published, the risk control model will be optimized, and a merchant credit scoring system will be introduced; after September 10, it will enter a long-term phase, regularly releasing transaction environment reports, continuously upgrading risk control strategies, and actively accepting user supervision.

At the same time, the platform's risk control system will undergo a full-chain upgrade:

● 24/7 inspection system: AI + expert dual linkage, 24/7 inspection, real-time monitoring without blind spots, and millisecond-level risk interception;
● Big data early warning model: Automatically scans over 20 multidimensional behavior data points daily to identify potential risks in advance;
● Dynamic expulsion of underperformers: Strictly implements a "monthly elite merchant" assessment system, with underperforming merchants facing regular elimination and expulsion;
● In-depth tracing and crackdown: Any user card freezing incident will trigger a first-level tracing response, locking in the source of risk and immediately updating risk control rules to achieve "one incident leads to the extermination of a type";
● Extremely strict admission and review mechanisms: Significantly raising the merchant certification threshold while enforcing strict quarterly reviews for operating merchants to ensure that the limited merchant positions belong to the most reliable and professional partners;
● Continuous empowerment of the risk control academy: Monthly special training sessions at the "Risk Control Academy" to promote the formation of an industry atmosphere where "violating is not dared, cannot, and does not want to."

Huobi HTX emphasizes that the dual insurance mechanism of "0 freezes + 100% full compensation" will continue to be implemented. If a user's funds are judicially frozen due to merchant violations, the platform will fully cover the losses, ensuring that user funds remain unaffected. Users also need not worry about any card freezing risks, as the platform's protection mechanism is always in place.

Since the launch of the selection station five months ago, Huobi HTX has demonstrated the reliability of its risk control and mechanisms with its "0 freezes" achievement. The renewed upgrade and launch of the "Special Action Against Violating Merchants" is a reaffirmation of the platform's commitment to user safety. In the future, Huobi HTX will continue to hold merchants to high industry standards, using strict risk control to safeguard user fund safety and work together with users to build a transparent, fair, and secure C2C trading environment.
