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.
| Recorded fee | Rate per executed order |
|---|---|
| Maker | Not confirmed |
| Taker | Not confirmed |
Public fee settings describe Prime tiers, but current numeric rates could not be retrieved; check the logged-in account rate
Provider fee information · Schedule checked .
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.
