Global exchanges are tightening controls: a ban on deposits from HTX has been introduced to increase transparency
08.07.2026
The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges have tightened regulatory and oversight measures by banning deposits from the HTX platform (formerly known as Huobi). This decision is part of a global trend toward stricter transparency requirements and anti-money laundering measures.In recent months, a number of regulatory bodies and financial institutions have noted growing concerns about the origin of funds coming from certain platforms, including HTX. As a result, leading exchanges have decided to temporarily suspend deposits from HTX in order to conduct additional verification of compliance with KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) standards.According to industry analysts, approximately 12% of all inter-exchange transfers in 2026 passed through HTX, underscoring the scale of the ban’s impact. Such measures are expected to boost trust among users and partners and contribute to the further development of transparent financial practices in the industry.Experts note that tighter regulation not only minimizes the risks of illegal activity but also helps create a safer environment for investors. Users are advised to closely monitor updates to the rules and use only verified channels for depositing and withdrawing funds.The exchanges emphasize that the ban is temporary and will be reviewed once the necessary audits are completed and additional compliance measures are implemented.
