Huobi Rebrands to HTX on 10th Anniversary
Crypto exchange Huobi celebrated its 10th anniversary on September 13th by rebranding to HTX as part of its new strategy. The platform explained that ‘H’ represents Huobi, ‘T’ symbolizes its commitment to Tron, the blockchain network led by Justin Sun, and ‘X’ signifies its role as an exchange. The Roman numeral for 10 also represents HTX’s ten years in the digital asset space.
HTX’s Growth Strategy
HTX has outlined its growth strategy, focusing on global expansion, a thriving ecosystem, wealth effect, and security and compliance. The exchange plans to enter new markets worldwide and build a metaverse-free port. It will also collaborate with public chains like Tron and cross-chain protocols in the TRX ecosystem, as well as stablecoin projects such as TrueUSD.
“After the rebranding, HTX’s listing strategy will start a new phase by expanding its ecosystem with new assets listings. We will select premium and popular assets from around the world by introducing all-star projects that come with volume, popularity, and new trends. Additionally, HTX will deepen collaborations with mainstream ecosystems, including but not limited to public chain, Layer 2, and memecoins.”
Rumors and Challenges
A month prior to the rebranding, Huobi faced rumors of potential insolvency and experienced significant outflows. However, Justin Sun urged the community to disregard the FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) and rumors about Chinese police investigations into offshore crypto marketplaces.
