HTX, formerly known as Huobi Global, has announced its withdrawal from the UK market following a settlement with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
The decision follows a year of legal proceedings, with the exchange agreeing to court undertakings that will remain in effect until October 2031. As part of the settlement, HTX will cease all operations in the UK and has initiated a 48-hour window for customers to withdraw their funds.
This development is consistent with the broader trend of regulatory crackdowns on crypto exchanges in major financial markets. The FCA has been particularly active in enforcing compliance among digital asset service providers.
Despite the regulatory pressure, 
HTX DAO's token price has shown relative stability, with only a minor 0.20% decrease in the past 24 hours and a 1.45% decline over the past week. This suggests that the market may have already priced in the regulatory risks associated with the exchange.
The total crypto market cap currently stands at $2.71 trillion, with 
Bitcoin experiencing a 2.86% drop in the last 24 hours. The overall market sentiment, as measured by the Fear & Greed Index, remains in the Neutral range at 51.
Since this brief published about 1 hour ago, HTX DAO (HTX) has moved from $0.00000162 to $0.00000165 — +1.85%.
