HTX’s assets events in 2024 centered on “upgrading and innovation”, upgrading both their gameplay and prize pools to refresh their offerings.
A Series of Prime Events: 48 PrimePool and 3 PrimeVote were launched over the year, releasing approximately 4.3 million USDT rewards in total to users (calculated at the price on the last day of the event). From the 17th PrimePool, users needed to stake $HTX to participate in the event, which effectively empowered $HTX by remarkably increasing users holding $HTX and the amount held.
Brand-New Launchpool: From December, PrimePool was upgraded to Launchpool, by which Earn and Launchpool were linked with each other. Therefore, users could use one investment to earn dual rewards, i.e. Launchpool airdrops and returns through subscribing to the $HTX Flexible Earn product. Launchpool also supported “Multiple Staking Rewards”, which means users could get airdrop rewards from all existing projects in the mining pool by investing with $HTX. The number of participants surged to 150,000 and $HTX Flexible assets increased by over 40%.
2. Farming Events
In 2024, HTX launched four major mining-related products, including “Trade to Earn”, “Earn with Pending Orders”, “Borrow & Earn” and “Liquid Restaking”.
Trade to Earn
The Trade to Earn event is a benefit for all trading users at the HTX exchange. Upon successful registration for this event, participants can earn $HTX as rewards by trading designated cryptocurrencies. In 2024, HTX held 10 Trade to Earn events that drew in over 45,000 participants and distributed over $10 million in rewards.
Earn with Pending Orders
“Earn with Pending Orders” is a limited-time event introduced by HTX, where users can earn $HTX rewards by providing liquidity. During the event, the platform will take random snapshots of pending orders for BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT spot trading pairs, as well as BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT perpetual futures trading pairs, every minute. The platform will then check if the prices of users’ pending orders fall within the effective range of the execution price at the time of snapshot. Rewards will be calculated based on the amount of pending orders each user has placed. This event equips users with effective risk management tools. By strategically placing orders and adjusting fund distribution, users can better manage risk and improve overall returns amidst market volatility. In 2024, HTX held 6 Earn with Pending Orders events, with the total participants at over 41,000 and the rewards distributed at over $2 million.
Borrow & Earn
