The working HTX referral code is 2026SNG. Enter it on the sign-up form — it can't be added afterwards, HTX has no post-registration option. The code gives a 20% discount on spot and futures fees plus access to a welcome bonus of up to 1,500 USDT.
Where to enter the HTX referral code
- Open the HTX sign-up page on the website or in the app.
- Enter your email or phone number.
- Expand the "Referral Code (Optional)" block, type 2026SNG (uppercase or lowercase both work), and tap "Next".
What the code actually gives you
The discount is where the real money is; the bonus is a side effect. Notifications about unlocked tiers arrive by email, and you can claim later.
- Trading-fee discount. Applies automatically once the account is verified — no claiming, no expiry date on your side.
- Welcome bonus. Lives in the "Rewards Hub" section as a set of sequential tasks: sign-up, first deposit (10 USDT minimum to qualify), first trade, and so on. Each completed task opens a Mystery Box with a random reward. The same section also lists time-limited tasks.
How to lower fees further
You can stack more savings with the exchange's native token, HTX. Hold HTX and enable "Reduce spot fees with HTX deduction" in your account settings — that adds 25% off spot and 5% off futures. Bear in mind the token-price risk: if HTX falls, the fee savings may not cover the loss on the token itself.
Even with both discounts running, HTX spot stays above what Binance, OKX, or KuCoin charge with their own native-token deductions. The full comparison is in our HTX review.
How we check the code
Once a month we run a three-step check:
- We verify the code's status from the HTX partner dashboard.
- In private mode, we walk through the sign-up flow as an ordinary user would and check that it's accepted.
- The exchange changes the welcome-bonus mix from time to time, so we keep an eye on what's currently on offer.
That way we only publish codes that actually work.
Becoming a referrer yourself: is it worth it?
Once your account exists, you get your own code and link in the "My Referrals" section: up to 30% commission on the fees your invitees pay, and you decide in the dashboard how much of that goes back to the person you invited. It comes out of what the exchange earns, not out of their pocket.
If you're putting real effort into invites, the affiliate program raises the percentage. The honest catch is the same as on every exchange: it pays off only for people with an active audience — Telegram, YouTube, niche sites. For everyone else it stays at the level of making back the bonuses you used yourself.
