Huobi HTX launches major "Second Phase Campaign Against Non-Compliant Merchants": using risk control as a blade to protect the foundation of trust
The further upgrade of this special operation reflects not only the platform's continuous enhancement of risk control capabilities, but also its firm commitment to user asset security and a fair trading environment.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
As competition intensifies and regulations tighten in the crypto asset industry, security and trust have become fundamental to platform sustainability. Huobi HTX has recently launched its "Phase II Special Campaign Against Non-Compliant Merchants," enforcing higher standards, stronger risk controls, and stricter execution to comprehensively address violations on its C2C Select Station—particularly focusing on high-risk issues like "non-nominee payments"—to continuously build a transaction ecosystem of "0 freezes, 0 risks, 100% security."
Since the launch of its C2C Select Station, Huobi HTX has earned widespread user trust through innovative mechanisms such as "100% full compensation" and "new-user-friendly policies." This upgraded campaign not only reflects the platform’s ongoing enhancement of risk control capabilities but also underscores its firm commitment to user asset security and fair trading environments.
Phase II Special Campaign: Targeting Root Causes, Strengthening Trust in Selection
Since its launch, Huobi's Select Station has become users' preferred C2C channel due to its carefully selected merchants, fast settlement, and high security standards. However, as transaction volumes grow, some merchants have been found using non-nominee accounts for payments, attempting to circumvent real-name requirements. Such actions violate platform rules and threaten user transaction security.
In response, Huobi HTX has initiated the "Phase II Special Campaign" with a clear "zero tolerance" penalty mechanism:
● First violation: The merchant’s buying function is restricted for 3 days, new trade orders are prohibited, and a rectification report must be submitted;
● Second violation: Immediate removal from the Select Station and termination of all trading privileges.
During this round of inspections, the platform identified only one case where a user, after conducting multiple normal transactions with a merchant, received a non-nominee payment from that merchant. To protect user rights, Huobi HTX immediately contacted the user, explained potential risks in detail, and provided security guidance to ensure no account impact. Going forward, upon detecting similar cases, the platform will proactively contact users via phone or email and maintain open long-term communication channels.
Different from previous efforts, this campaign goes beyond simple enforcement upgrades by integrating systems, technology, and risk control models to comprehensively close security loopholes. Huobi HTX aims to set a higher benchmark in risk management, making the "zero tolerance" stance a true embodiment of the word "Select"—representing "trustworthy and sustainable."
Risk Control Upgrade: AI Detection + Manual Review, Building an Intelligent Security Defense
Compared to the first phase, this "Phase II Special Campaign" marks a comprehensive intelligence upgrade in the risk control system. Leveraging smart risk models, AI algorithm modeling, and big data tracking, Huobi HTX can automatically detect abnormal transaction behaviors and trigger real-time risk alerts. Simultaneously, a more rigorous manual review process has been introduced, with professional risk control teams conducting individual audits on suspicious merchants and transactions to ensure every trade is traceable and verifiable—achieving precise interception without false positives or omissions.
This dual-track safety architecture combining "technology + systems" positions Huobi HTX at the forefront of industry risk governance—shifting from "post-event penalties" to "pre-event prevention," and from "passive responses" to "proactive management." Additionally, the platform will intensify monitoring of advertisers’ payment methods and fund flows, strictly cracking down on transactions conducted through others’ accounts, family accounts, or subordinate sub-accounts, ensuring all C2C transaction funding sources match verified real-name information and restoring C2C trading to its "origin of trust."
User-Centric Approach: Launching Reward Program to Encourage Joint Security Efforts
Notably, this special campaign is not merely a one-way "crackdown" but a collective effort involving all users. Huobi HTX has simultaneously launched a "User Reporting Reward Program," encouraging users to actively reject non-nominee payments and report violations. Users who successfully report violations that are subsequently verified will receive Huobi HTX-branded commemorative merchandise.
By transforming users from passive protectees into active security participants, the reward mechanism incentivizes joint maintenance of a fair trading environment. Huobi HTX is building an open ecosystem centered on "user co-governance and shared security." "Security" is no longer solely the platform’s responsibility but a shared mission in which users can participate, contribute, and supervise. Every user becomes a node in the platform’s security network, helping create a more transparent, fair, and mutually trusted C2C trading environment.
Building Trust Through Compliance, Driving Growth Through Trust: Select Station Sets a New Industry Benchmark
In today’s uncertain market, competition among trading platforms has shifted from "traffic wars" to "trust wars." Since launching the Select Station, Huobi HTX’s C2C business has maintained strong industry reputation through strict merchant准入 criteria, fast fund settlement, and a robust risk control system.
This "Phase II Special Campaign," with stricter enforcement, smarter risk controls, and a more open user co-governance model, continues fulfilling the long-term promise of being "secure, transparent, and efficient," building a C2C trading ecosystem that is "secure and transparent, standardized and efficient, user-first." Every transaction will take place under full transparency, making trust the core value of the Select Station. Moving forward, Huobi HTX will continue demonstrating responsibility through action and ensuring security through systems, leading C2C trading into a new era of greater transparency and stability.
