Huobi HTX Rises to Top Eight in Kaiko's Global Exchange Rankings, Leading the Industry in Commercial and Technical Capabilities
Multi-dimensional Advancement!
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsRecently, renowned crypto data firm Kaiko released its Q2 2025 Spot Exchange Rankings. Among the 45 centralized exchanges analyzed globally, HTX (formerly Huobi) climbed two spots to secure a place in the global Top 8, making it the most improved platform within the Top 10 spot exchanges. This achievement highlights HTX's strong competitiveness and continuously enhanced comprehensive capabilities in the global crypto market.
The report states that Kaiko’s exchange scoring system evaluates over 100 major trading platforms worldwide across six key dimensions: governance, liquidity, technology, commercial capability, security, and data quality. HTX delivered an outstanding performance this quarter, particularly excelling in "commercial capability" and "technical capability," while also receiving high marks for security.
Commercial Capability Ranks Second Industry-Wide, Recognition of Brand Strength and Product Depth
HTX ranked second industry-wide in the "commercial capability" category, reflecting its excellence in brand heritage, operational efficiency, and product breadth.
In April alone, HTX launched 14 new tokens spanning popular sectors such as staking infrastructure and on-chain emerging concepts. The newly listed tokens performed exceptionally well—STO surged up to 303% after its debut, significantly outperforming the market average. DARK, representing the on-chain MCP narrative, achieved a peak gain of 246%, while HOUSE, a Solana-based meme coin, rose by 176%, quickly becoming hot picks among users for trading and investment. Additionally, HTX was the first global exchange to list the stablecoin USD1 (World Liberty Financial USD), consistently capturing early-mover advantages in emerging trends and offering users immediate access to next-generation narrative-driven assets.
Moreover, according to recent data from DeFiLlama, HTX recorded a net inflow of $472 million in April—the highest among all major CEXs globally, surpassing some platforms by 6–7 times. CoinGecko’s 2025 Q1 Crypto Report further confirms that HTX is the only Top 10 exchange to achieve growth in spot trading volume this year.
Top-Tier Technical Performance Delivers Efficient Trading Experience
HTX also demonstrated excellent performance in the "technical capability" dimension, ranking among the industry leaders. Technical capability is a critical metric measuring an exchange’s capacity to handle large-scale transactions and respond efficiently under pressure.
In an increasingly competitive trading landscape, HTX delivers a smooth and secure trading experience through its stable system architecture, low-latency API responses, and support for high-frequency trading. According to Kaiko’s report, technical infrastructure has become a core factor in user retention, and HTX’s continuous investment and optimization in this area have earned widespread market recognition.
Robust Asset Security Paves the Way Toward Global Tier-One Exchange Status
Beyond standout performances in commercial and technical capabilities, HTX has made steady progress across other key dimensions including governance compliance, data quality, and platform security—further strengthening its overall competitiveness among leading global exchanges. Notably, HTX’s security score placed it among the top-tier platforms industry-wide, reflecting its proactive investments and robust capabilities in areas such as security certification deployment, cold and hot wallet management, and user asset protection mechanisms.
In recent years, HTX has comprehensively upgraded its security defenses, implementing new features such as multi-device login alerts,异地 login notifications, and abnormal transfer warnings. It has also partnered with numerous white-hat teams, conducting ongoing penetration testing, security drills, and vulnerability research to enhance its defense systems and risk response mechanisms. In April, HTX successfully integrated Fireblocks Off-Exchange, further improving regulatory compliance to meet the challenges of an increasingly complex global crypto environment and boosting trust among institutional clients worldwide. To date, HTX has maintained a flawless security record for over 20 consecutive months without any security incidents.
HTX remains committed to high standards and transparent operations, having published proof-of-reserves data regularly for 31 consecutive months—one of the most consistent in the industry. As of May 2025, HTX has updated its Merkle tree proof-of-reserves, showing significant growth in total held assets. For instance, user holdings of USDT increased from approximately 665 million to 1.15 billion tokens—a rise of over 73% compared to March—while May saw another month-on-month increase in USDT reserves exceeding 30%. This continued enhancement in capital backing underscores HTX’s deep commitment to user asset safety and information transparency.
HTX stated that moving forward, it will remain user-centric, continuing to strengthen efforts in platform security, compliance, global expansion, liquidity, and user experience. By reinforcing its core strengths, HTX aims to build a more efficient, transparent, and trustworthy digital asset trading environment for users worldwide.
