HTX to Adjust Futures Leverage Limits and API Permissions for New Users

To maintain a fair and healthy trading environment and further safeguard user assets, HTX will implement new rules for futures API permissions and maximum leverage for users who sign up on the platform on or after March 26, 2026. These changes take effect on March 30, 2026, at 07:00 (UTC). Please review the updated rules carefully: I. Available Leverage for New Users During Order Placement by KYC Level Users who have not completed level 2 KYC verification are limited to a maximum leverage of 5x for Futures trading. To access leverage higher than 5x, please complete level 2 or higher KYC verification. II. API Order Placement Permissions Based on KYC Level Users who have not completed KYC verification, or who have only completed level 1 KYC verification, will be unable to place futures orders via the API. API trading functionality will be granted upon successful completion of level 2 or higher KYC verification. Notes: 1. Sub-accounts inherit the KYC level of their main account. Accordingly, API futures trading restrictions and available leverage for sub-accounts are the same as those of the main account. 2. These updates apply to standard futures trading only. Copy trading and grid trading are unaffected and will continue to follow existing rules. 3. These updates do not affect current holdings, historical orders, or the ability to close or reduce positions. Only new position openings and leverage adjustments are subject to the new rules. 4. For API users unable to place futures orders under the new rules: 5. For API users whose available leverage is capped at 5x or below: Thank you for your understanding and support!
