HTX
Crypto.comIn short: the difference
How HTX differs from Crypto.com
What HTX is: a venue that doubles as a toolkit. On the market since 2013, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own HTX token.
What Crypto.com is: an exchange that covers several jobs at once. On the market since 2016, jurisdiction: Singapore, its own CRO token.
What HTX gives you
The rival’s service list is wide, yet HTX wins on other things: On the market since 2013, and the cheapest USDT withdrawal in our coverage — 0.001 over BTT. Spot across nearly six hundred pairs, perpetual futures, P2P in dozens of currencies, HTX Earn yield products, Primepool launches and copy trading. Thirteen networks to withdraw through.
Where HTX is strong
the cheapest USDT withdrawal we cover, a broad P2P, running since 2013.
What Crypto.com gives you
Compared with an ecosystem, Crypto.com leans on its own strengths: An international venue with licences in several jurisdictions, a card programme and an app used by tens of millions. What it quotes against first is the dollar rather than USDT: USDT pairs number a little over a hundred, but they are liquid coins with a dense book. Derivatives are here too — four hundred perpetual contracts; funding comes one contract per request, yet accrual is hourly and a dedicated walker keeps pace.
Where Crypto.com is strong
a dense book on the major pairs, licences and regulation, the CRO token for discounts.
What decides it
Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows
- Age. HTX has run since 2013, Crypto.com since 2016 — a gap of 3 years. It guarantees nothing on its own, but the older venue has been through more market cycles.
- Jurisdiction. HTX sits in Seychelles, Crypto.com in Singapore. It shapes both the checks you pass and what the venue has to disclose.
- Native tokens. HTX has HTX, Crypto.com has CRO: holders usually get fee discounts and access to launches.
- Strengths side by side. HTX: the cheapest USDT withdrawal we cover, a broad P2P, running since 2013; Crypto.com: a dense book on the major pairs, licences and regulation, the CRO token for discounts.
- Which job. HTX is for anyone who moves coins between venues often, while Crypto.com is as a price reference and a funding venue.
- Worth remembering. HTX: the spot fee is above the average here — keep it in your maths. Crypto.com: only a hundred-odd USDT pairs: most trading is against the actual dollar.
Which one fits you
Who HTX suits

What people ask most
Questions about HTX
HTX: How large is the HTX token discount? On spot, 25%: the base 0.20% becomes 0.15%. On contracts the discount is smaller, up to 10%. A separate discount card does not automatically stack with the token discount.
HTX: Is there P2P here? Yes, with the exchange holding escrow: while a trade runs, the seller's coins stay frozen.
HTX: Why did Huobi become HTX? A 2023 rebrand. The name changed, but the venue itself is still one of the oldest on the market — it has run since 2013.
Questions about Crypto.com
Crypto.com: What is the minimum spot order? One dollar equivalent. That is the order's value, not a coin count: the actual quantity is rounded up to the pair's quantity tick. An order below the minimum returns BELOW_MIN_ORDER_SIZE.
Crypto.com: How does Crypto.com Exchange differ from the app? They are different products on different rules. Fees, minimum amounts, the set of networks and which features are available do not match. Crypto Earn, for one, belongs to the app rather than the exchange.
Crypto.com: What does withdrawing dollars cost? Up to a million dollars of net withdrawals over a rolling thirty days is free; above that, 0.05% of the excess. Net volume is withdrawals minus dollar deposits and net OTC inflows; crypto deposits do not reduce it.
Both at once
When it makes sense to keep accounts on both HTX and Crypto.com
You do not have to pick one. Two accounts give you a fallback when the coin or network you need exists only on the other venue. It makes sense to split the jobs: spot and earn on one, bots and launches on the other. Balances are pre-funded, so no transfer is needed at the moment of a trade.
