HTX published a notice on 10 August 2026 saying it does not provide services to anyone resident in, located in or accessing the platform from the United Kingdom. Account registration and KYC can no longer be completed from a UK IP address. Existing UK accounts cannot deposit, trade or use HTX products, and their owners can ask customer support for a one-time 48-hour window to withdraw, subject to the UK’s personal remittances general licence.
The notice follows the UK’s designation of Huobi Global S.A. under its Russia sanctions on 26 May 2026, and the FCA’s legal action against HTX over illegal financial promotions, announced in February 2026.
What changes in our data
The United Kingdom was already restricted for HTX. The row now cites this notice, HTX’s user agreement and the UK sanctions listing, at high confidence.
