HTX, the global cryptocurrency exchange formerly known as Huobi, has unveiled a massive Lunar New Year promotional campaign featuring a 3,000,000 USDT prize pool. The "Mega Spring Festival Airdrops" event is scheduled to run from February 15, 2026, at 03:00 UTC to March 3, 2026, at 03:00 UTC. The comprehensive campaign is designed to celebrate the Year of the Horse and includes multiple avenues for users to earn rewards.
The core of the promotion is a daily login airdrop where users can claim rewards by logging into the HTX App at 03:00 UTC and visiting any Spot, Margin, or Futures trading page. This segment alone accounts for 2,600,000 USDT of the total prize pool, with individual participants eligible to win up to 2,026 USDT. Rewards are randomized and include popular cryptocurrencies, Trading Fee Rebate Vouchers, Futures Trial Bonuses, and APY Booster Coupons.
HTX has partnered with seven "Diamond Partners" for an exclusive cross-project promotion. Users can engage with the K-line comment sections for the tokens SUN, JST, NFT, BTT, WIN, TRX, and STEEM to claim daily surprise gifts on a first-come, first-served basis. Trading these designated tokens in Spot or Futures markets will count for triple (3x) the trading volume toward task calculations for other campaign components.
Additional campaign mechanics include a 50,000 USDT lucky draw where users can win a grand prize of 18,888 USDT by completing trades or interactive tasks, and a 50,000 USDT social sharing incentive. For the latter, users who send an HTX Crypto Gift of 10 USDT or more to friends will earn a cash reward of up to 20 USDT once the gift is claimed.
In a separate but related development, HTX has announced a collaboration with AINFT to co-host a special AI Challenge. This campaign features a combined prize pool of 40,000 USDT and is positioned as an effort to build a new Web3 AI gateway. AINFT is described as a Web3-native platform that provides permissionless access to leading large language models (LLMs) like Claude Opus 4.5, ChatGPT-5.2, and Gemini 3 Pro, using TronLink wallet for login and on-chain identity authentication.
The AI Challenge, which runs through March 13, 2026, at 08:00 UTC, is in its second season. It requires participants to connect a TronLink wallet, submit their HTX UID, and complete tasks on both the AINFT platform and HTX exchange. The 40,000 USDT prize pool is split: 13,000 USDT is allocated for AINFT AI Challenge tasks (including Boosted, Early Bird, and Deposit gift packages), and 27,000 USDT is reserved for exclusive rewards for HTX users. These include a point bonus, a welcome bonus for new HTX sign-ups, and a trading reward for users who complete minimum trading volumes on HTX.
HTX emphasized its commitment to transparency and fairness, stating it will monitor for irregular activities. All rewards will be credited to winners' "My Rewards" or "Assets" sections according to event rules.
