Referral terms vary by region and account state.
HTX does not publish a single headline fee, so this page collects the terms it does publish and links every claim to its source (last checked September 8, 2026). HTX accepts sign-ups from United Arab Emirates at the time of our last check. Verification rules are summarised below straight from the official help pages, so you know what the platform asks for before you commit an email address. Reserve transparency is part of the score here: the table notes what the platform publishes about its holdings. The service has operated since 2013, which we treat as track record, not as an endorsement. The UAE has become a licensing hub for global exchanges, and Dubai-based platforms often treat it as a home market with full product access.

Using HTX from United Arab Emirates
Signing up from United Arab Emirates puts HTX under a local rulebook, and it is not what the fee table alone tells you. The Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) oversees retail crypto in Dubai; it is the sole virtual-asset regulator across Dubai's free zones and mainland outside DIFC. Exchanges operating in or from Dubai must hold a VARA VASP Licence (Virtual Asset Service Provider licence), listed on VARA's public register; federally the Securities and Commodities Authority issues a Virtual Asset Platform Operator License. How money actually reaches the order book here: Dirham bank transfers are the dominant deposit rail; the national instant payments platform is Aani, operated by Al Etihad Payments, a Central Bank of the UAE subsidiary. Aani is a key initiative under the Central Bank's Financial Infrastructure Transformation programme, positioned as the seamless, secure and instant digital payments layer for UAE residents and businesses. On tax treatment in this market: The UAE levies no personal income tax on individuals, so retail crypto gains of individuals are not income-taxed; value-added tax applies to goods and services purchases. None of this market context changes the HTX figures in the table above — it decides how you act on them.
