Huobi HTX launches the "Second Phase of Special Action Against Violating Merchants": Protecting the foundation of trust with the blade of risk control.

In the context of intensified competition and tightened regulations in the encryption asset industry, security and trust have become the foundation of the platform. Recently, Huobi HTX officially launched the “Phase II Special Action Against Violating Merchants,” with higher standards, stronger risk control, and stricter enforcement to comprehensively rectify the illegal trading behaviors on C2C selection stations, especially focusing on high-risk violations such as “non-real-name payments,” continuously creating a trading ecosystem of “0 freezes, 0 risks, 100% security.”

Since the launch of the C2C selection site, Huobi HTX has gained the trust of a large number of users with innovative systems such as “100% full compensation” and “new customer-friendly mechanism”. The further upgrade of this special action not only reflects the platform's continuous strengthening of risk control capabilities but also its solemn commitment to user asset security and a fair trading environment.

Phase II of the special action: Aiming at the source of violations, improving the trust selection system.

Since its launch, the Huobi Selection Station has become the preferred C2C channel for users due to its selected merchants, fast transaction processing, and high security standards. However, as the trading scale expands, some merchants have been found to conduct payment operations through non-real-name accounts in an attempt to evade real-name system requirements. Such behavior not only violates the platform's bottom line but also threatens the transaction security of users.

In response, Huobi HTX has launched the “Phase II Special Action”, clarifying a “zero tolerance” penalty mechanism:

● First violation: Restrict the merchant's buying function for 3 days, prohibit the addition of new trading orders, and require the submission of a rectification report;

● Repeat violation: revoke selection qualifications, terminate all trading permissions.

During this inspection, the platform found that only one user received a non-real-name payment from a merchant after conducting multiple normal transactions with the merchant. To protect user rights, HTX has contacted the user immediately to explain the potential risks in detail and provide safety guidance to ensure the account remains unaffected. In the future, once similar situations are detected, the platform will proactively contact the user via phone or email and maintain an open communication channel.

Unlike in the past, this action is not just a simple upgrade of “inspection and punishment”, but a comprehensive closing of risk loopholes through the collaborative governance of systems, technology, and risk control models. Huobi HTX hopes to set a higher standard for risk control, and its “zero tolerance” attitude towards maintaining secure transactions makes the term “selection” truly represent “trustworthy and sustainable.”

Risk control system upgrade: AI recognition + manual review, building an intelligent security line.

Compared to the first special action, this “Second Special Action” has achieved a comprehensive upgrade in the risk control system through intelligence. Huobi HTX relies on intelligent risk control models, combined with AI algorithm modeling and big data tracking, to automatically identify and alert on abnormal trading behaviors in real-time; at the same time, the platform has also introduced a more rigorous manual review mechanism, where a professional risk control team conducts a thorough review of suspicious merchants and trading behaviors, ensuring that every transaction can withstand tracing and verification, achieving precise interception, no misjudgment, and no omissions.

This “technology + system” dual-track driven security architecture enables Huobi HTX to lead the industry in risk control governance—from “post-event punishment” to “prevention,” from “passive governance” to “active governance.” At the same time, the platform will focus on monitoring the payment methods and fund flows of advertising accounts, cracking down on the use of others' accounts, family accounts, or personal small accounts for trading, ensuring that the source of funds and real name information match for every C2C transaction, and promoting the return of C2C transactions to the “source of trust.”

User-Centric: Launch special reward programs to encourage the co-construction of a secure ecosystem.

It is worth noting that this special action is not a one-sided “crackdown”, but rather a collaborative security governance involving the participation of the entire community. Huobi HTX has simultaneously launched a “User Reporting Reward Program”, encouraging users to actively refuse non-real-name payments during transactions and to report violations to the platform. Users who successfully report and have their reports verified will receive rewards in the form of Huobi HTX branded merchandise.

From being protected to being secure participants, the reward mechanism incentivizes users to jointly maintain a fair trading environment. Huobi HTX is building an open ecosystem centered on “user co-governance and secure co-construction.” “Security” is no longer just the platform's responsibility but becomes a joint endeavor in which users can participate, contribute, and supervise. Let every user become a part of the platform's security system and create a more transparent, fair, and trustworthy C2C trading environment.

Establish trust through compliance and promote growth through trust: Selected stations set a new benchmark for the industry.

In a market full of uncertainty, the competition among trading platforms has shifted from a “battle for traffic” to a “battle for trust.” Since the launch of the selection station, the Huobi HTX C2C business has maintained a high reputation in the industry due to its strict merchant admission mechanism, fast fund arrival experience, and comprehensive risk control system.

The “Second Special Action” will be executed with stricter norms, a more intelligent risk control system, and a more open user co-construction mechanism, continuously fulfilling the long-term commitment of “safety, transparency, and efficiency,” and building a C2C trading ecosystem that is “safe and transparent, standardized and efficient, and user-centric.” Every transaction will be conducted under the sunlight, making trust the core value of the selection station. In the future, Huobi HTX will continue to interpret responsibility through action, ensure safety through systems, and lead C2C trading into a new era of greater transparency and stability.
