This initiative is designed to provide high-volume market makers with more competitive taker fee rates, incentivizing efficient order execution and collaboratively strengthening overall platform liquidity.
I. Program Overview
- Pilot Period: January 1, 2026 – March 31, 2026
- Business Line: USDT-M futures
- Pro Rata Assessment: A market maker will be deemed qualified if it satisfies either condition: Its maker trading volume reaches or exceeds a specified proportion of the platform's total maker trading volume; or its total trading volume reaches or exceeds a specified proportion of the platform's total trading volume.

II. Assessment Rules
1. Pilot Period: January 1, 2026 – March 31, 2026
2. Business Line: USDT-M futures
3. Assessment Details:
- A market maker will be deemed qualified if it satisfies either condition: Its maker trading volume reaches or exceeds a specified proportion of the platform's total maker trading volume; or its total trading volume reaches or exceeds a specified proportion of the platform's total trading volume.
- Assessments will begin in January 2026. The calculation cycle follows the calendar month (UTC+8) and is based on data from the Market Maker Daily Trading Report.
- Trades with zero fees will be excluded from the volume calculation.
4. Fee Implementation: Once the assessment criteria for the current month are met, the Pro Taker Fee Rate will take effect in the first week of the following month. The rate remains valid for 30 days from the effective date.
Example: If your USDT-M Futures trading volume accounts for 5% of the platform’s total in January 2026, you will receive the Pro 1 Taker rate starting the first week of February. This rate will remain in effect for 30 days from the effective date (e.g. if it becomes effective on February 2, it will remain valid until March 4).
5. HTX will closely monitor Market Makers and disqualify any found engaging in fraudulent behavior, including, but not limited to, maliciously inflating trading volume, creating fake accounts in bulk, wash trading, or order matching. HTX reserves the right to revoke preferential fee rates and remove any Market Maker from the program.
6. HTX reserves the right of final interpretation to this event.
