Entering the fourth quarter, the cryptocurrency market continued to show fluctuations and weaknesses, with mainstream asset prices retreating from their highs, leading to a more cautious trading environment. As the market cooled, Huobi HTX directed more energy towards solidifying the trading foundation and providing diversified earning channels.

In the past October, the market depth of Huobi HTX's core trading pairs increased overall, with the BTC/USDT depth at a price of 15,000 increasing by 78%; the number of tradable equity assets on the platform rose to 307, and the cumulative trading volume of TradFi exceeded 7.5 billion USD. At the end of the month, the "Warm Winter Together" coin earning interest activity was officially launched, providing users with stable earning options amidst the fluctuating market.

Overall increase in spot depth, larger transactions executed more smoothly

In October, Huobi HTX continued to deepen its cooperation with professional market makers, enhancing market depth through optimization in support, order book depth, and trading environment, which led to an overall increase in the market depth of core trading pairs. For example, in October, the 1% depth for BTC/USDT improved by 42%, and the 0.05% depth increased by 78%.

The better the depth, the smaller the impact on prices from orders of the same scale, allowing larger transactions to be executed at prices closer to the market price. For core assets like BTC, this means that during times of significant price volatility, users can still carry out their buy and sell transactions more calmly.

In October, focusing on the two major core assets of BTC and ETH, Huobi HTX launched a series of trading benefits, including a trading challenge, fee rebates, trading lotteries, and a theme activity around the iPhone Duo, with the key trading challenge attracting over 10,000 participants.
