HTX has rolled out an upgraded institutional services platform that combines 10 core functions into a single system. The goal is to give institutional clients one place to manage trading, custody, and data tools more efficiently.
The update adds custodial sub-accounts and third-party custody options. It also improves access to historical market data, helping institutions analyze trends and make more informed trading decisions.
HTX said the system is built to be more secure and streamlined, offering a full institutional setup within one connected ecosystem.

How does the platform improve services for institutional users?
The new system allows institutions to use custodial sub-accounts, which makes it easier to separate funds and manage multiple strategies under one structure. This helps improve internal control and reduces operational risks.
Third-party custody support allows assets to be held by external regulated custodians instead of being stored directly on the exchange. This is often preferred by larger firms that require stronger security and compliance standards.
HTX also upgraded its historical data services, giving institutional users deeper access to past market activity for research, trading models, and risk management.
Other exchanges are building similar institutional tools
Other major exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, and OKX have also expanded institutional services by adding custody solutions, trading APIs, and compliance-focused infrastructure.
Coinbase Institutional, for example, offers advanced custody and execution tools for funds and asset managers. Binance has expanded its institutional lending and VIP trading systems, while OKX provides institutional-grade APIs and custody integrations for professional traders.
Across the industry, exchanges are building more structured platforms to attract funds, trading firms, and corporate investors who need stronger security, reporting, and operational control compared to retail users.
Notably, HTX kicked off Round 2 of its SunPump Ecosystem Trading Competition, offering a total prize pool of 10,000 USDT. The event encourages traders to engage with SunPump-related crypto tokens.
