On August 5, 2026, cryptocurrency exchange HTX officially launched the second phase of its TradFi Trade to Earn campaign. Running until August 15, the event offers a total prize pool of $80,000 to users who trade selected traditional finance (TradFi) perpetual futures pairs.
The campaign features 28 high-liquidity trading pairs across four major asset categories: precious metals (XAU, XAUT, XAG, PAXG), commodities (USOIL, BRENTOIL), indices (SPX500, QQQ, SOXL, EWY), and stocks (including NVDA, AAPL, TSLAX, GOOGL, MSFT, and others). Through a dual-track incentive structure, participants can trade with negative fee rates while supporting $HTX token buybacks.
Users who register and trade the designated pairs will receive $HTX rewards calculated as actual trading fees multiplied by an order reward ratio: 110% for Maker orders and 105% for Taker orders. This effectively means traders are paid to trade — the higher the volume, the greater the rewards. Daily rewards of up to $8,000 in $HTX are available.
HTX’s first Trade to Earn campaign in July generated over 63 million USDT in trading volume and distributed more than 23,000 USDT in rewards within 10 days. For this second edition, the exchange has expanded the prize pool significantly. Notably, all fee revenue generated from the designated TradFi futures pairs during the event will be used for $HTX buybacks, with the repurchased tokens subsequently burned as part of the quarterly $HTX burn mechanism. This deflationary measure is intended to support the long-term value appreciation of the $HTX token.
The campaign allows 24/7 access to global core assets without the time or geographical restrictions of traditional markets, enabling users to capitalize on macro events and price movements. HTX plans to continue expanding its TradFi offerings with additional asset classes and advanced instruments.
