HT Operations Quarterly Report (Q1 2023)

Dear HTX Users,

Greetings from HTX! We thank you for your continuous support and trust in HT.

 

I. HT Burn Data in Q1 2023

827,226 HT were burned on HTX in the first quarter of 2023. As HTX steps up its burning mechanism, a total of 296,989,669 HT was burned as of April 15, 2023.

The quarterly circulating deflation rate was 0.3826%. (Note: Circulating deflation rate = HT burned at time T * (15%/20%) / Circulating supply at time T-1 = 827,300 HT * (15%/20%) / 162.19 million HT)

Current circulating supply: 161,362,774 HT.

Existing supply: 203.01 million HT.

II. Announcement on Upgrading HT Burning Mechanism

In December 2022, HTX decided to adjust the burning mechanism in response to the voices and feedback from the HT community. More transparency will be provided and the monthly burning will be upgraded to quarterly burning to be in line with the common practice of the leading crypto exchanges. This new burning mechanism takes effect in Q1 of 2023. Under the new mechanism, the number of HT burned in October, November, and December 2022 is to be announced on January 15, 2023. The number of HT burned in the first quarter of 2023 will be published on April 15, 2023. We will not announce the monthly HT burn data on February 15 and March 15, 2023. After that, the burned amount in each quarter will be published on the 15th of the first month of the next quarter.

 

What is the HT burning mechanism?

HTX allocates 20% of its revenue to burn HT.

HTX's revenue includes:

1. Trading fees from spot, futures, and OTC trading, as well as coin conversion.

2. Interest on isolated margin loans, cross margin loans, and OTC loans.

3. Withdrawal fees.

4.Revenue from various businesses/products/services, such as margin trading.

 

We will burn HT quarterly rather than monthly and disclose details to the public on a regular basis, as a part of our efforts to continuously improve the openness and transparency of HT burn.

 

The number of HT burned is calculated by the formula:

H = R1 * 20% / P2

 

R (HTX’s revenue) includes:

1. Trading fees from spot, futures, and OTC trading, as well as coin conversion.

2. Interest on isolated margin loans, cross margin loans, and OTC loans.

3. Withdrawal fees.

4.Revenue from various businesses/products/services, such as margin trading.

Calculation formula of P (HT's average price):

P = Σ (Daily HT amount received * Daily HT opening price) / Quarterly HT amount received

 

Since the launch of our HT empowerment plan, HT has seen continuous growth with the support of the community. By aligning itself with industry leaders, HTX is well positioned to make our HT burning mechanism more transparent and refined. More importantly, this upgrade shows that we are constantly reforming HT and growing with the community, which will speed up our return to the top 3.
