HTX is a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange. Founded in China as Huobi (Chinese: 火币网; pinyin: Huǒbìwǎng), the company now has offices in Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and the United States. In August 2018 it became a publicly listed Hong Kong company. Following a 2017 ban on Bitcoin exchanges by the Chinese government, Huobi stopped Bitcoin withdrawals. Huobi China continues to operate as a blockchain consulting and research platform. As of March 2018, Huobi processed around US $1 billion in trades daily. Huobi changed its name to HTX in September 2023.
