Regulation
No licence from a financial regulator found. The UK FCA lists htx.com as an unauthorised firm (warning since October 2023, updated February 2026) and took HTX to the High Court in October 2025 over illegal financial promotions. On 26 May 2026 the UK sanctioned the operating company, Huobi Global S.A., and in July 2026 the EU added it to its 21st sanctions package, with a transaction ban from 23 August 2026.

Your money, this pair
How much will you earn?
Method: monthly compounding (1 + APR/12)ⁿ, where APR is the exchange's stated rate. The realized 12-month return is slightly higher due to reinvestment. Rates may change. Not financial advice.

How BCH earns on HTX
When you deposit BCH into HTX's earn product you receive 5.0 % APY as a Flexible rate. The platform puts the asset to work and shares the yield — your balance grows without you doing anything.
This is a base rate, not a promotional teaser: it's what an ordinary deposit actually earns. HTX carries a YieldScope safety grade of C, so weigh the yield against platform risk — a higher rate on a weaker grade is not automatically a better deal.
Rates on BCH move with lending demand and market conditions. We re-check them daily and keep a history, so you can see whether today's number is unusually high, unusually low, or steady.
