HTX TradFi Campaign Pays Out Rewards and Slashes Trading Fees

The debut TradFi Trade to Earn campaign from HTX has come to a close after reporting 63.37 million USDT in total trading volume. The initiative focused on traditional finance assets like gold, oil, and major tech stocks, allowing users to trade these instruments using USDT on the platform.

Participants saved a combined 22,238 USDT in fees, which the exchange calculates as equivalent to 1.8 billion HTX tokens. The platform structure included negative fee rates, meaning some traders effectively earned money for their activity rather than paying costs. Hourly prize pools distributed 23,477 USDT to active users throughout the duration of the event.

HTX linked the campaign directly to its token ecosystem by using trading fees from these contracts to fund buybacks and burns of HTX tokens. This approach aims to create a cycle where platform volume contributes to the long term value of the asset. Following this success, the exchange confirmed it is already preparing a second phase to maintain momentum.

Traders should watch for details on upcoming rounds as the exchange plans to add more traditional market instruments. This model suggests the platform is betting heavily on bridging the gap between crypto capital and conventional market assets like the Nasdaq and major commodities.
