In short: the difference
How HTX differs from WEEX
First in the pair, HTX, is an exchange with services around the trading. On the market since 2013, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own HTX token.
Second in the pair, WEEX, is a venue built for leveraged trading. On the market since 2018, jurisdiction: Singapore, its own WXT token.
What HTX gives you
Next to a derivatives terminal, HTX answers with something else: A venue with history since 2013 and the cheapest USDT withdrawal we cover — 0.001 on BTT. Spot across nearly six hundred pairs, perpetual futures, P2P in dozens of currencies, savings and staking under HTX Earn, Primepool launches and copy trading. Thirteen withdrawal networks.
Where HTX is strong
the cheapest USDT withdrawal we cover, a broad P2P, running since 2013.
What WEEX gives you
The rival’s service list is wide, yet WEEX wins on other things: A young venue that grew quickly: seventeen hundred spot pairs and a thousand perpetual contracts, wider than some long-standing names. The set includes P2P in dozens of currencies, copy trading, savings and the WXT token. It is separately known for the user protection fund it keeps in public view.
Where WEEX is strong
1700 spot pairs and 1000 contracts, a broad P2P, a public protection fund.
What decides it
Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows
- Age. HTX has run since 2013, WEEX since 2018 — a gap of 5 years. It guarantees nothing on its own, but the older venue has been through more market cycles.
- Jurisdiction. HTX sits in Seychelles, WEEX in Singapore. It shapes both the checks you pass and what the venue has to disclose.
- Native tokens. HTX has HTX, WEEX has WXT: 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; WEEX: 1700 spot pairs and 1000 contracts, a broad P2P, a public protection fund.
- Which job. HTX is for anyone who moves coins between venues often, while WEEX is for anyone who needs a wide choice of pairs and a live P2P in their currency.
- Worth remembering. HTX: the spot fee is above the average here — keep it in your maths. WEEX: eleven withdrawal networks — fewer than the largest venues.

Who HTX suits

What people ask most
Questions about HTX
HTX: What does trading on HTX cost? The base spot rate is 0.20% both ways, above the average we cover. With Prime it falls to 0.0126% maker and 0.0218% taker. Contracts are 0.02% and 0.06% on USDT margin and 0.02% and 0.05% on coin margin.
HTX: Why are some networks closed for withdrawal? Venues pause withdrawals on individual networks during maintenance or when the network itself is congested. The live table at the top of this page shows what is open right now.
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 WEEX
WEEX: Is it true that WEEX offers 400x leverage? Yes, but only on the first risk step. On the gold contract 400x holds up to a 50,000 USDT position; beyond that the ceiling falls to 100x, 50x, 20x and 10x while the maintenance margin rises from 0.15% to 50%.
WEEX: What is the protection fund? A public thousand-bitcoin reserve. Its addresses are published and the balance can be checked on-chain. It is not a full audit of the exchange.
WEEX: How is a VIP tier reached on WEEX? Meeting one of three conditions is enough: 30-day volume, a WXT balance held for a day, or average asset value over five days. Tier one on spot takes $500,000 of volume, or 5,000 WXT, or $10,000 of assets.
Both at once
When it makes sense to keep accounts on both HTX and WEEX
Most people end up keeping both: one for daily trades, the other for what the first one lacks. Spot and earn stay on the ecosystem, contracts on the terminal. Moving between them costs pennies on the right network.
