    Huobi's HTX Blacklisted by Major Exchanges Due to Sanctions Compliance

    Around May, Huobi was reportedly helping Russia evade sanctions and was subsequently sanctioned by the UK and EU. This led to major exchanges like Binance, OKX, Bitget, Bybit, etc., blacklisting or restricting trading of HTX to comply with regulations. As a result, HTX has lost many users. In June 2022, HTX's total trading volume was around $1.02 trillion, with a market share of approximately 2.15%. By August, its total trading volume had dropped to around $631 billion, a decrease of about 37%, and its market share had fallen to 1.49%.
