In this blog, we will explore how to use the HTX exchange, including how to sign up and deposit funds. HTX (formerly Huobi), a global cryptocurrency exchange, is attracting attention from many investors with its diverse coins and various trading options. However, for those who are new to using overseas exchanges, the process from signing up to actual trading can feel somewhat complex. In particular, starting can be difficult because of the different interface and procedures compared to domestic exchanges. Since proceeding with the wrong method can lead to wasted time or security risks, accurate guidance is needed. This article will guide you step-by-step on how to use the HTX exchange safely and efficiently. It provides practical information, including how to sign up, essential security settings, the pros and cons of various deposit methods, and the best selection criteria.
1. Sign Up for HTX
To use the HTX exchange, you must first complete the sign-up process.
If you sign up for the HTX exchange through the link above, you'll be connected to a partner link officially associated with the exchange, which allows you to receive a 30% discount on fees.
Clicking the link will take you to the sign-up screen, where you can create an account by selecting your email address or phone number. After setting a password and entering the 6-digit verification code that has been sent, the sign-up process is complete.
2. HTX KYC Identity Verification
After completing the sign-up, you must proceed with KYC verification to safely deposit and withdraw funds through domestic exchanges and travel rules.
After signing in to your account, click the icon in the upper left corner and select Unverified. Then, click Level 2 Basic Verification and enter your country and basic information.

In the next step, you will need to take a photo of your ID card and provide a selfie for identity verification. You can choose from a resident registration card, passport, or driver's license. After taking photos of the front and back of your ID card and uploading them, the verification will be completed within about 10 minutes.
3. Depositing Funds into the HTX Exchange
Now, I will guide you on how to deposit funds into the exchange for futures trading. Unlike domestic exchanges, it is not possible to directly deposit and withdraw in Korean won, so you will need to purchase coins on a domestic exchange and then transfer them to the exchange.
First, click the Assets (Wallet) button at the bottom right of the app. Then, click Deposit → USDT (Tether) to generate a wallet address for the Tether coin, and copy this address.
After purchasing Tether on Upbit, click Withdraw → Withdraw. Select Tron as the withdrawal network and paste the copied address. Then, Tether will be sent from Upbit to the HTX exchange in about 5 minutes.
Once the transfer is complete, click the Assets (Wallet) → Transfer button. Select From : Spot, To : USDT-M Futures to convert to a futures wallet, and then proceed with futures trading.
