Verdict
HTX requires KYC verification before you can trade and charges around 0.20% on its taker fee. It scores 76.3/100 on the CompareCEX Score (74% of criteria verified), which suits beginners and cost-sensitive traders reasonably well. As a custodial platform, it holds your funds until you withdraw, so its security track record and regulation below matter as much as its fees. Check the fee table, KYC and country availability, and security sections below before you decide — exchange terms change without notice and we re-verify data periodically rather than in real time, so always confirm against the source links.
