Cost checklist
- Check spot fees, VIP tiers and campaign discounts directly.
- Smaller altcoin pairs require liquidity and spread checks.
- Withdrawal fees can vary by asset and network.
Account access
HTX access, limits and products can depend on verification and country. Check current rules before relying on any product or limit.
Safety notes
Before depositing
- Check current country access before depositing.
- Test withdrawals with a small amount first.
