Huobi Futures' Ongoing Expansion: Yubi Treasure Launches to Positive Surprise, Three New Products Poised for Release
Data shows that in 2024, Huobi HTX's total futures trading volume reached approximately $900 billion, a 70% increase compared to 2023, with futures trading volume showing a steady monthly growth trend overall.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
2024 has been a landmark year for cryptocurrency. As one of the most established crypto exchanges, HTX (formerly Huobi) has continuously pushed boundaries, leading industry development with superior products and services.
Futures trading has been one of HTX’s key focus areas this year. After a year of effort, HTX Futures has made remarkable progress. Data shows that in 2024, HTX's total futures trading volume reached approximately $900 billion—up 70% from 2023—with monthly growth consistently rising throughout the year.
This achievement is due in part to the HTX Futures team’s ability to closely follow market trends and expand its asset offerings. In 2024, HTX launched over 80 new futures trading pairs, nearly 70 of which were high-performing assets achieving price increases of over 200%, representing more than 90% of all new listings. By December 2024, the platform supported over 160 futures trading pairs, offering users an extensive range of choices.
Equally important has been HTX’s proactive optimization and bold innovation in its futures product lineup. The launch of “Futures Idle Income,” an exclusive product available only on HTX, introduced a groundbreaking concept to the industry while delivering novel earning opportunities for users.
Over 260,000 Participants: Idle Income Takes Off
Idle Income is HTX’s pioneering product that enables users to earn interest directly from their futures trading accounts. Officially launched on November 14, it allows users to earn up to 6% annualized returns on funds held in their USDT-margined futures accounts—regardless of whether they have open positions. With zero entry barriers, high flexibility, and attractive yields, Idle Income perfectly meets the needs of futures traders and achieved rapid success.
By December 26, just over a month after launch, Idle Income had attracted more than 260,000 participants. Fueled by the 6% annualized return on idle futures funds and the lowest funding fees across the entire market, HTX Futures saw a significant boost in appeal: overall futures trading volume increased by 88% in the past 30 days, while Q4 trading volume rose 50% quarter-on-quarter. Users also received tangible benefits, with the highest individual earnings reaching 24,641 USDT.
Beyond launching major new products, HTX has placed strong emphasis on enhancing existing features. In 2024, HTX completed over 30 futures function optimizations, including take-profit/stop-loss spread protection and real-time position updates. For its copy trading product, HTX focused on improving user experience, completing 15 upgrades such as enabling users to follow multiple traders simultaneously and optimizing the ranking algorithm on the homepage. By November 2024, the number of copy trading users served by HTX had grown more than 700% compared to the beginning of the year. Today, HTX Futures stands as a formidable player in the competitive crypto derivatives space, built on excellent user experience and anchored by flagship offerings like Idle Income.
Year-End Highlights: Three New Futures Products Roll Out
As 2024 draws to a close, HTX continues advancing its mission to enhance user experience. Currently, three new futures products have either launched or are about to go live:
Zero-Cost Futures Positions
Recently, HTX introduced its "Zero-Cost Futures Positions" campaign, offering users cost-free access to futures trading—an initiative especially beneficial for beginners. Participants receive free contract positions in specified trading pairs with fixed leverage and holding direction, allowing them to become familiar with operations and gain hands-on trading experience in real market conditions. Profits from closing these positions are distributed as futures trial credits, helping users explore further earning opportunities, while any losses incurred do not affect the user’s own capital.
Futures Grid Trading
To provide users with smarter, strategy-based trading tools, HTX will fully upgrade its Futures Grid Trading feature by the end of December. This tool improves capital efficiency while reducing risk exposure, making it ideal for capturing investment opportunities during volatile, sideways markets. Once users set their grid parameters, a trading bot executes trades automatically—saving time and effort. Notably, HTX does not charge additional fees for using Futures Grid Trading.
Futures Cross-Margin
Around the Chinese New Year of 2025, HTX plans to roll out Futures Cross-Margin functionality, allowing traders to use multiple types of assets as margin collateral for USDT-margined contracts. For users managing diverse portfolios, cross-margin will offer a significantly smoother and more convenient trading experience.
In 2024, HTX invested tremendous effort into strengthening the competitiveness of its futures offerings. The popularity of Idle Income, along with substantial growth in trading volume and user numbers, reflects strong market recognition—and serves as HTX’s greatest motivation for continued innovation. Moving forward, HTX Futures will maintain momentum, continuously refining core trading functions and copy trading modules, while increasing investment in liquidity infrastructure. Priority will be given to deepening order book liquidity for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and trending market assets, ensuring an even smoother trading experience. At the same time, HTX will continue driving comprehensive ecosystem development through exceptional user experience, strong wealth-generation potential, robust security measures, and cutting-edge technological advancements—solidifying its leadership position in the industry. The year 2025 promises even greater achievements for HTX.
