HTX has launched USDT-denominated trading for tokenized U.S. equities and ETFs as part of a promotional campaign running through February 9, 2027. Tether (USDT) is trading at $0.9992.

The launch extends HTX beyond conventional crypto trading into a tokenized representation of U.S. equities. Its significance depends on how broadly users can access the offering and whether the zero-fee campaign attracts sustained trading activity.
- HTX launched spot trading for 20 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs.
- Trading pairs are denominated in USDT.
- NewsBTC reports zero fees on designated pairs through February 9, 2027.
- USDT trades near $1 as the crypto market remains flat.
HTX launched spot trading for bStocks, its tokenized products representing U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds, on November 9, according to NewsBTC and Crypto.news. The offering contains 20 assets and uses USDT trading pairs, bringing a tokenized version of U.S. equity exposure onto the same exchange interface used for crypto trading.
NewsBTC names NVIDIA, Tesla, Alphabet, MicroStrategy, Circle and the Invesco QQQ among the listed assets. Crypto.news, citing Justin Sun, reported that U.S. stock trading was live and emphasized that the products carry fees and eligibility restrictions. Both outlets therefore frame the launch as a functioning marketplace rather than an announced future initiative.
NewsBTC describes the beginning of a tokenized U.S. stock trading promotion scheduled from November 9 through February 9, 2027. It reports zero trading fees on designated pairs and rewards that include two iPhones, while also noting that users must register and trade the designated spot products. Crypto.news does not detail the campaign or rewards but confirms that fee and access conditions apply.

The launch gives HTX a broader product mix, but the supplied coverage does not specify trading volumes, the full eligibility criteria or whether the promotional pricing will continue after February 9, 2027.
