HTX (formerly Huobi / Huobi Global)

HTX is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that operated for many years under the brand Huobi (often styled Huobi Global) and rebranded to “HTX” in September 2023, around its 10th anniversary. (en.wikipedia.org)

What the service is

HTX provides digital-asset trading services (commonly including spot trading and other exchange features, depending on user jurisdiction and product availability). It is widely described as being based/registered in the Seychelles and is commonly reported as being owned/controlled by Justin Sun (a crypto entrepreneur associated with TRON). (en.wikipedia.org)

Relationship between “Huobi”, huobi.com, and “HTX”

• The platform historically used the Huobi brand and domain https://www.huobi.com (the site may restrict access in some regions and can return access errors when fetched programmatically).
• After the rebrand, HTX published a notice stating that its official website link would be changed from huobi.com to htx.com (October 16, 2023). (htx.com)
• References describing the rebrand also noted that, at the time of reporting, the website domain still reflected the Huobi name, even as branding and social accounts were updated. (cointelegraph.com)

Meaning of the name “HTX” (as stated in coverage and HTX materials)

Reporting around the rebrand described the letters as:

• H = Huobi heritage
• T = TRON
• X = exchange
  This framing was widely discussed in industry coverage of the name change. (coinmarketcap.com)

Social media (the account you referenced)

You referenced the Twitter/X account:

Coverage of the rebrand reported that Huobi updated its social-media presence to reflect the HTX name, including noting an X/Twitter handle change to HTX_Global around the announcement period. (coinmarketcap.com)

Notes for identification and safety (neutral)

Because the exchange has used multiple names/domains over time (Huobi, Huobi Global, HTX), users commonly verify they are using official domains and official social handles as published by the company (and treat look‑alike domains as potential phishing). (htx.com)
