What is HT

Huobi Token (HT) is the native cryptocurrency of the HTX exchange. The exchange was founded in China in 2013 but then moved its operations to Seychelles for more friendly crypto and finance regulations. It became a popular option among those seeking to enter the new world of crypto that lets users invest in projects through trading and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). HTX followed Binance’s path by releasing the exchange token in 2018 that facilitates on-platform governance, rewards, and special event access.

The Huobi Token-HT has played a large part in one of the biggest crypto exchanges in the world, with a daily trading volume in the billions.

How Does Huobi Token Work?

The Huobi Token works to provide HTX Exchange users a better experience with new ways to get a discount on trading fees, access new cryptocurrencies, and vote on decisions about the future of the platform. With HT, exchange users can directly benefit from how well the platform does over time. If HTX continues to move up in popularity, HT holders will see their accounts rise as well.

The Huobi Token is part of the HTX Eco Chain that hosts DeFi apps like decentralized lending and borrowing platforms. The Eco Chain is similar to the Binance Smart Chain, an established exchange-based blockchain.

HT is an ERC-20 token that acts to secure the network and provides benefits and transaction methods for HTX users. It acts much like Binance Coin (BNB) on the back-end. It also has similar tokenomics like BNB’s buyback or coin-burning strategy. Using this method, HTX utilizes 20% of the revenue generated from contracts to buy back HT from the network and removes it from circulation to increase its value.
As HTX steps up its burning mechanism, a total of 296,989,226 HT was burned as of April 15, 2023. The Current existing supply: 203.01 million HT.

What Makes Huobi Token Unique?

The Huobi Token has a few unique benefits for users, but it is mostly a way to keep up with the evolving economics of the crypto exchange business. It was created in part to keep up with Binance and its native BNB token. The Huobi Token will provide a common or uniform method of payment across the ecosystem. It will also be used largely in OTC trading and corporate payments.

The Huobi Token currently ranks 50 on CoinMarketCap (at the time of writing) and has gained tremendous value since its release in 2018. In the beginning, HT was trading at around $1.30 USD. During the all-time-high period in 2021, it reached a price of nearly $35 before stabilizing. Many are optimistic in their future price estimates since native tokens of other exchanges have also performed well.

The Future of Huobi Token

As more people become involved in crypto trading, HTX will benefit and grow along with the industry. It also provides a compelling loyalty and rewards scheme that will position it well in an increasingly competitive crypto exchange industry.
