Originally founded as Huobi in 2013 by Leon Li in China, the company grew to become one of the world's leading cryptocurrency exchanges. Following increased regulatory scrutiny in China, the company shifted its focus to international markets. In September 2023, Huobi rebranded to HTX. The company states its mission is to be a gateway to Web3, providing users with a comprehensive suite of services including spot and derivatives trading, staking, crypto loans, and an NFT marketplace. The rebranding aims to embark on a new "global" and "decentralized" chapter for the exchange.
