How to Transfer Crypto From HTX (Huobi) to Another Exchange: 6 Steps Before You Pay 0.20% Again
To transfer crypto from HTX to another exchange, copy a deposit address from the destination, open the HTX withdrawal page, choose Withdraw via Blockchain Address, pick a network both platforms support, paste the address with any memo, and answer the destination exchange question with Others.
Residents of the EU and the UK should read the country section first.
Key Takeaways
- HTX offers two withdrawal routes, and only Withdraw via Blockchain Address can reach another exchange, since the HTX Account route stays inside HTX.
- A withdrawal to a new address may trigger identity verification or a manual review, so add the address before moving day.
- The HTX withdrawal page asks for the destination exchange, and the answer is Others unless you are sending to the one Korean exchange the page names.
- HTX's base spot fee is 0.20% a side, four times MEXC's standard 0.0500% taker rate, which is $1,800 a year on $100,000 of monthly volume.
- EU operators have been barred from transactions with the entity the EU lists as HTX (Huobi Global SA) since August 23, 2026, and eligible residents have three months from that date to apply for authorisation to withdraw.
- HTX daily withdrawal limits run from 0.06 BTC to 1,000 BTC depending on verification level.
Why Do People Move Crypto Off HTX?
The everyday reason is the fee schedule.
HTX's base spot rate is 0.20% for makers and takers alike, as set out in our HTX fee guide from HTX's official schedule in September 2026.
That is double the 0.10% that several large exchanges charge and four times MEXC's standard taker rate.
The reason that made headlines in 2026 is legal, and it only concerns some readers.
The United Kingdom sanctioned Huobi Global S.A. in May 2026.
In July the European Union listed "HTX (HUOBI GLOBAL SA)" in its 21st Russia sanctions package, with the restriction taking effect on August 23, 2026, as The Block reported from the EU's Official Journal.
The measure is a transaction ban and not an asset freeze.
HTX has said the listed entity is legally distinct from its exchange.
If you live in the EU, the EEA, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, the ordinary steps in this guide may not be open to you, and the country section near the end explains why.
For readers elsewhere, moving is a routine withdrawal with two prompts that most exchanges do not have.
If withdrawals are already failing for you, see our guide on how to move assets away from an exchange in distress instead.
Where Does Your Balance Need to Be on HTX?
Start by gathering everything in your main Exchange account.
Coins held in the OTC account can be moved across at no charge, since HTX's help center says transfers between the Exchange account and the OTC account are free.
Balances tied up in futures, margin or Earn products generally have to be closed out and transferred back before the withdrawal page can see them.
Check the available figure on the withdrawal page itself, because that number, not your total balance, is what can leave.
Then check your limit.
HTX daily withdrawal limits run from 0.06 BTC to 1,000 BTC depending on verification level, as verified for our HTX withdrawal guide in September 2026.
An unverified account at the bottom of that range can take weeks to empty, so verification comes before anything else if your balance is larger than the limit.
Why Should You Set Up the Destination First?
You need somewhere to send the coins before HTX will let you start.
A destination is worth choosing on three tests: it credits your coin on a network HTX can send, it serves your country, and it charges you less per trade than the 0.20% you are leaving.
Our comparison of HTX alternatives on fees and reserves covers six candidates, and MEXC vs HTX side by side goes through the two platforms line by line.
What an HTX trader pays on MEXC
A withdrawal fee is paid once.
A trading fee is paid every time an order fills.
MEXC's fee page lists standard spot trading at 0.0000% for makers and 0.0500% for takers, as of September 10, 2026.
Monthly spot taker volume | HTX at 0.20%, per year | MEXC at 0.0500%, per year | Difference per year |
$20,000 | $480 | $120 | $360 |
$50,000 | $1,200 | $300 | $900 |
$100,000 | $2,400 | $600 | $1,800 |
Data verified against HTX's base spot rate as published in our HTX fee guide, September 2026, and MEXC's fee page as of September 10, 2026; each figure is monthly volume multiplied by the taker rate and by 12.
At $50,000 a month the gap is $900 a year, and a trader who rests limit orders pays nothing as a maker on the MEXC schedule.
Two caveats belong here.
HTX's schedule has tiers below the base rate, so check what you actually pay before you compare.
MEXC's 0.0500% is its standard spot rate, and futures on MEXC are priced pair by pair on a separate schedule.
On reserves, MEXC publishes Proof of Reserves with Merkle tree verification, and our guide to exchanges that publish proof of reserves explains how to check any platform's claim.
If you live outside the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area and the other restricted jurisdictions, and the fee gap is why you are moving, open the receiving account before you open the HTX withdrawal page.
What Is the HTX Transfer Fee?
It depends on which of the two routes you take.
Withdraw via HTX Account moves coins to another HTX user through what HTX calls a fast channel, and HTX's help center says it carries zero fees.
It cannot reach another exchange.
Withdraw via Blockchain Address is the route that can, and it carries a per-coin network fee that the withdrawal page shows once you have chosen the coin and the network.
We do not print those fees, because they are revised and the live number on the page is the one you will pay.
For the comparison across platforms, see which exchanges charge the least to withdraw.
Which Network Should You Pick?
Choose from the networks both sides share.
Open the deposit page on the destination, note the networks it accepts for your coin, and compare them with the networks HTX offers.
Take the cheapest network that appears on both lists.
MEXC, for example, has supported USDT on the Toncoin network since April 2024, alongside Tron, Ethereum, BNB Chain and Solana.
Copy any memo or tag exactly as the deposit page shows it.
Addresses beginning with 0x look the same on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon and other EVM chains, so the address will not warn you about a wrong network.
Our guide to USDT networks compared explains how the chains differ.
How to Transfer Crypto From HTX to Another Exchange in Six Steps
Step 1: Bring the balance back to your Exchange account.
Close out futures, margin and Earn positions, and move any OTC balance across.
Step 2: Get the deposit address from your destination.
On MEXC, go to Wallets, then Deposit, then On-Chain Deposit, choose the coin and the network, and copy the address, as set out in MEXC's guide on how to deposit crypto on the web.
Step 3: Choose Withdraw via Blockchain Address.
Select the coin, paste the address, and pick the network you settled on.
Step 4: Answer the destination exchange question.
The HTX withdrawal page asks which exchange you are sending to and offers one named Korean exchange and Others.
Choose Others for any other platform.
Step 5: Expect a check on a new address, then send a test.
HTX's help center says a withdrawal to a new address may trigger identity verification or a manual review.
Send the minimum amount first, wait for it to credit on the other side, and only then send the rest.
Step 6: Track the transaction ID.
HTX says a transaction ID is typically generated within 1 to 60 minutes of submission, as verified for our HTX withdrawal guide in September 2026.
Once you have it, follow it on a block explorer, and if the chain shows success the receiving platform is the one to ask.
What Happens on the Receiving Side?
The destination credits your deposit on its own terms.
On MEXC, Bitcoin deposits credit after 2 block confirmations, Ethereum after 10, and USDT on ERC-20 after 96 network confirmations, according to the MEXC deposit and withdrawal guide.
Progress shows under Wallets, then Funding History, then Deposit.
When a confirmed deposit does not appear, MEXC's support guide points to a short list of causes.
- The wrong network, or a missing memo: submit an Uncredited Deposit Return Application, typically reviewed in 1 to 2 business days.
- A network or a token contract that MEXC does not support: the deposit is not credited.
- A transfer sent through a smart contract: it needs manual processing through the same application.
The full list is in MEXC's troubleshooting guide for deposits that are not credited.
Five Things That Stall a Transfer Out of HTX
A new address sends you into identity verification.
Add the address and clear the check a day or two before you need the money to move.
You chose Withdraw via HTX Account.
That route only reaches other HTX users, so switch to Withdraw via Blockchain Address.
The amount is above your daily limit.
Verify your identity, split the move across days, or ask HTX to raise the limit by ticket.
The network or the memo does not match.
Compare both with the destination's deposit page before every send, including the second one.
The destination questions a transfer that comes from HTX.
CryptoSlate reported that the UK action triggered tighter scrutiny of HTX-related transfers at other major exchanges.
Screening rules differ by platform and can change, so send a minimum-size test and wait for it to credit before you move the rest.
One more risk sits outside the platform.
The FBI has warned about scammers who impersonate cryptocurrency exchange employees, and anyone who offers to release a stuck withdrawal for a fee or a code is one of them.
If you are eligible where you live and ready to go, start with the smallest transfer the form allows.
Do You Owe Tax When You Move Crypto Between Exchanges?
In the United Kingdom, HMRC's manual states that there is no disposal when you keep beneficial ownership, as when you move tokens between addresses you control.
Rules differ by country, and this is not tax advice.
Export your trade, deposit and withdrawal history before you empty the account, and keep each transaction ID with it.
Those records are harder to get once an account is closed or restricted.
Can You Still Move Crypto Off HTX From Your Country?
European Union, EEA and Switzerland.
EU operators have been barred from transactions with the entity the European Union lists as HTX (Huobi Global SA) since August 23, 2026, under the sanctions package adopted on July 23, 2026.
The Block reported that eligible EU, EEA and Swiss nationals and residents may seek authorisation to withdraw funds or close accounts, and that they must apply within three months of the ban taking effect.
Anyone in that position should treat the timing of a withdrawal as a legal question first and take advice from the competent authority in their country.
MEXC is not the answer for these readers: it does not hold a MiCA authorisation and appears on ESMA's register of non-compliant entities following a decision by the Dutch AFM in September 2025.
MEXC is also leaving the Netherlands, with offboarding running to October 31, 2026 and final offboarding on November 16, 2026.
United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom sanctioned Huobi Global S.A. in May 2026, and UK residents should take advice before acting.
MEXC's User Agreement lists the United Kingdom as a prohibited jurisdiction, so the destination should be a firm authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority.
United States.
MEXC's User Agreement lists the United States as a prohibited jurisdiction, and US residents should use a platform licensed in their state.
Japan.
Japan does not appear among the prohibited jurisdictions in MEXC's User Agreement, but the MEXC apps cannot be downloaded from Japanese iOS or Android stores, per MEXC's own restricted regions article.
MEXC appears on the Financial Services Agency's list of unregistered operators, with entries in March 2023 and November 2024.
The MEXC View
We run an exchange, so we gain when a reader moves to us, and you should weigh this page accordingly.
HTX does several things well: its internal transfers are free and fast, it tells users when to expect a transaction ID, and its top verification level allows 1,000 BTC a day.
We have not repeated the sanctions allegations here, because they are for regulators and courts, and HTX disputes that the listed entity is its exchange.
Our case rests on one number that anyone can check: 0.20% a side against 0.0500% for a taker and nothing for a maker.
How we weigh claims like these is set out in our methodology for reviewing exchanges.

Risk, Compliance and Sanctions Notice
On-chain transfers are irreversible, and funds sent to a wrong address or an unsupported network may be permanently unrecoverable.
Sanctions rules carry legal consequences for individuals, and nothing in this article is legal advice.
Fees, limits, supported networks and regional availability change without notice, so confirm every figure inside the platform at the time you transfer.
Check whether a platform serves your jurisdiction before opening an account, and do not use tools to bypass geographic restrictions.
