HTX, the cryptocurrency exchange formerly known as Huobi, has withdrawn from part of the UK market after reaching a settlement with the Financial Conduct Authority. The platform has stopped accepting deposits from British customers and agreed not to direct crypto promotions at people in the country, according to CoinDesk.
What changed for UK customers
The measures mean UK customers can no longer add funds to HTX through new deposits. The exchange has also committed to avoiding promotional activity aimed at British users. The source material does not specify when withdrawals will end or provide further details about the settlement’s financial or legal terms.
HTX’s former name is relevant because Huobi was rebranded as HTX. The company is therefore the same exchange referred to under its current name in the FCA-related action. Crypto promotions are subject to rules designed to govern how digital-asset products are marketed to consumers, while deposits are the funds customers place on an exchange to trade or hold digital assets.
Why the move matters
The decision narrows HTX’s direct activity in the UK. For customers, the most immediate change is the loss of the ability to make new deposits, while the restriction on targeted promotions limits how the exchange can seek British users. The available report does not state whether existing UK customers face additional changes or describe the settlement’s wider implications.
