HTX released its October 2026 performance report on November 11, laying out monthly operating metrics across spot liquidity, derivatives, earn products, OTC and the $HTX token economy. The headline figure: the BTC/USDT 0.05% depth on the venue rose 78% month-over-month, while 0.01% depth increased 42%.
