HTX referral code guide
How to sign up on HTX with code p55577
- Click the HTX invite link here. It opens a regional HTX domain with invite_code=p55577 attached.
- HTX operates on more than one web address. Bookmark the one you sign up on so you return to the same official site.
- Register using email or phone and create a strong password.
- Confirm the invite code reads p55577: a lowercase p followed by five digits.
- Verify your contact details, then turn on two-factor authentication.
- Complete identity checks before depositing, as HTX may restrict withdrawals on unverified accounts.
What the HTX referral code gives you
On HTX the referral matters more than usual, because HTX has the highest spot fee of any exchange on this site: 0.2% for both makers and takers, double the common 0.1%. Taking 20% off a fee twice the size of everyone else's saves you twice as much per dollar traded.
HTX is the exchange formerly known as Huobi, operating since 2013. Long-running users often know the platform under its old name, and code p55577 applies only to new HTX accounts. An old Huobi login does not qualify, so returning users should read HTX's referral terms before opening anything new.
HTX trading fees explained
A $5,000 spot trade on HTX costs $10.00 at the base 0.2% rate. With p55577 that falls to $8.00, a $2.00 saving. The same trade on an exchange charging 0.1% would cost $5.00 before any discount, so even with the code HTX spot costs more than standard-rate venues.
Futures fees are far more competitive: 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker. A $25,000 perpetual entered at market costs $12.50, or $10.00 discounted. This split means HTX makes more sense for derivatives than for spot buying at these rates.
Who HTX is best for and not for
Best for
- Traders who value a long operating history, since HTX dates back to 2013.
- Futures traders who want a 0.05% taker rate on an established venue.
- Users who need tokens or pairs listed on HTX and not available elsewhere.
Not for
- Cost-conscious spot traders. At 0.2%, HTX spot is the most expensive on this site even after the 20% referral discount.
- Users confused by multiple domains, who should double-check every link before entering credentials.
- Anyone expecting the old Huobi account and the new HTX referral to merge.
HTX vs Binance and Gate.io
Binance charges half HTX's spot rate (0.1% against 0.2%) and the same futures rates (0.02% and 0.05%). On $20,000 of monthly spot volume, Binance costs $20 at base against $40 on HTX. For derivatives the two are level at the listed rates.
Gate.io lists spot at 0.09%, less than half HTX's rate, and matches HTX's 0.02%/0.05% futures pricing. Gate.io also lists more than 1,400 cryptocurrencies. Unless you need something only HTX offers, both rivals cost less for spot.
One sensible way to use HTX is to split roles: keep spot buying on a cheaper venue and use HTX only for futures, where its 0.02%/0.05% pricing matches both rivals. Registering with p55577 still makes sense in that setup, because the 20% discount then applies to the futures fees you actually pay, and you skip the 0.2% spot charge entirely.
A quick check of the numbers: $10,000 of futures market orders costs $5.00 on HTX, or $4.00 with p55577. That is lower than the undiscounted $5.00 Binance charges for the same order.
