HTX, a major cryptocurrency and traditional finance trading platform, reported record daily trading volumes in its TradFi zone during July 2026, driven by expanded asset listings, optimized trading tools, and strong growth in automated trading services. The platform’s traditional finance division achieved approximately $2.5 billion in cumulative trading volume for the month, with daily trading volumes surging more than tenfold compared to June averages.

  • New Asset Listings: 56 new futures contracts, including 51 trending stock contracts across commodities, precious metals, AI chips, and memory sectors
  • TradFi Asset Coverage: 170 total assets supported, including US individual stocks, ETFs, and Pre-IPOs
  • Earn Subscriptions: $290 million total subscription volume with 28,000 participating users
  • Copy Trading Growth: 184% month-over-month increase in trading volume
  • User Registration: 15% month-to-month growth in new registered users

The platform concentrated its July listings on high-demand sectors, particularly AI and semiconductors. Key assets launched included SK Hynix, Micron Technology, and SanDisk contracts, allowing users to access dominant market narratives without switching between platforms. HTX simultaneously optimized its TradFi futures trading experience by refining index sources, funding rate calculations, and user interface navigation. A Stock Contract Rebase feature is scheduled for a Q3 2026 launch to further enhance trading capabilities.

Automated trading services demonstrated resilience amid broader crypto market volatility. Copy trading volume climbed 184% month-over-month, supported by improvements to the trader leaderboard mechanism and expanded talent pool. The platform’s Trailing Grid feature launched in July, enabling dynamic grid interval adjustments during market volatility. Futures grid trading received upgrades to its order-placement mechanism, converting to limit orders to reduce slippage losses. Risk control models and trigger rules were simultaneously strengthened to protect against negative balances under extreme conditions.

HTX’s capital efficiency offerings expanded substantially in July. The Earn subscription program accumulated $290 million in total volume, with stablecoins dominating participation. The platform introduced a BTC VIP Flexible Earn product offering 1% APY for Prime 5 and above clients, complementing existing USDT VIP options.

Lending services introduced a TRX energy arbitrage feature allowing users to stake BTC, ETH, or USDT to borrow TRX and generate yields through TRON Stake 2.0. Limited-time low-interest loan options were rolled out for XAUT, HYPE, ONDO, and AAVE holders. HTX is a cryptocurrency exchange platform offering spot trading, derivatives, automated trading tools, and traditional finance asset integration.
