HTX Spot Trading Fees

HTX sets out its fees on an official public fee page, which describes a Prime level system, separate schedules for spot and futures, and options to pay fees through HTX-deduction or point cards. The numeric spot-rate table on that page could not be retrieved during this check, so the current spot rates could not be independently confirmed here.

Before placing an order, check your logged-in fee settings and confirm which Prime level applies, since tiers alter the maker and taker rates charged. The review table concerns spot trading only; no withdrawal, futures, margin or local eligibility details were verified.

Why HTX rates need a logged-in check

The checked HTX fee page describes a Prime tier structure, but current numeric rates could not be independently confirmed. That is an evidence limitation rather than a finding about the provider. Under the maker-taker model, tier membership can change what you pay, so second-hand rate quotes should not be relied on. Before deciding an HTX account suits your intended trade, open the fee page, identify the tier that matches your situation, and confirm the rate shown in your logged-in account. If you use fee-deduction options such as token payments or point cards, confirm those settings separately, since they can alter the effective charge. A logged-in rate does not by itself confirm legal registration in your jurisdiction, which requires separate regulatory checks. To compare HTX against other exchanges on sourced fee schedules, use the exchange comparison.
