  • 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.
  • Use 2FA and avoid holding long-term funds on any exchange used mainly for altcoin access.
