Huobi HTX releases May report: TradFi monthly trading volume exceeds $1 billion, multi-line progress reshapes ecological confidence

May 2026 is a month filled with challenges and hope for the global cryptocurrency industry. The AI narrative continues to heat up, traditional finance and crypto assets are accelerating their integration, and institutional funds are steadily entering the market. For Huobi HTX and its tens of millions of users, this May carries even more special significance—it is a testament to the journey shared through storms and a commitment to respond to trust with action.

In May, Huobi HTX faced regulatory concerns head-on, actively communicating with all parties to properly promote problem-solving efforts for the healthy development of the industry. According to CMC data, as of June 10, Huobi HTX saw a net inflow of funds exceeding $27.5 million in the past week, ranking first among mainstream centralized exchanges globally. Funds do not lie; users have cast a heavy vote of trust in Huobi HTX through their real actions.

Through thick and thin, we are grateful for the journey together. In May, Huobi HTX adhered to a user-first principle, making simultaneous efforts in four dimensions: asset expansion, yield protection, product deepening, and ecological co-construction, delivering a warm and substantial May report card: the total trading volume on the platform increased by 3.11% month-on-month, and the market share in the contract market steadily rebounded; the TradFi asset matrix rose to 75 types, and the monthly trading volume in TradFi exceeded $1 billion. Every number is a positive response to user trust; every construction is building momentum for the next phase of growth.

Safety First, "Grateful for You": Returning Every Bit of Trust with Transparency and Commitment

Trust is the most valuable asset; safety is the best return.

In the face of external pressure, Huobi HTX users did not leave but chose to stay. This trust is upheld by Huobi HTX in the most solid way—continuous and transparent asset reserve disclosures. According to the latest Merkle Tree Proof of Reserves (PoR) data, as of June 1, 2026 (UTC+8), the reserve rates of all mainstream assets on Huobi HTX remained above 100%. As one of the first platforms in the industry to continuously disclose Merkle Tree Proof of Reserves, Huobi HTX has publicly disclosed PoR data for 44 consecutive months, providing long-term security for user assets. Users can visit the "Assets - Reserve Proof Report" page on the Huobi HTX official website to view.

Safety is the bottom line, gratitude is the attitude. Recently, Huobi HTX launched a user care program themed "Thank You for Your Trust, Walking with You." From June 1 to June 15, 2026, the platform will distribute care airdrop packages worth over $10 million to all users, launching ten rights activities around trading, earning coins, lending, and customer service to help users optimize capital allocation efficiency and gain a better trading experience. Additionally, the May Pizza Festival attracted 130,000 participants, including 11,000 new users, with rewards exceeding 130,000 USDT already distributed.

In terms of C2C, May saw the grand launch of the SVIP Exclusive Station, deepening refined operations for high-net-worth users through six core rights and exclusive full lifecycle services, completing the product matrix of "Classic Station - Selected Station - SVIP Exclusive Station," upgrading Huobi HTX C2C from a single matching trading platform to an asset service system covering different user tiers.
