HTX halts UK crypto promotions in FCA settlement
Current overview (not historical)
HTX agreed to halt unlawful UK crypto promotions following a Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) enforcement case. The exchange undertook not to target or solicit UK consumers, ceased taking deposits and new sign-ups from the UK, and gave existing users a 48-hour window to withdraw assets before account closure. Britain designated Huobi Global S.A., the Panama company behind HTX, on May 26 over alleged financial links to Russia, prompting the exchange to leave the British market under the deal.

- BeInCryptoJustin Sun's HTX Exits UK After FCA Court Deal, Leaving Users Unable to Withdraw Funds
HTX, the crypto exchange controlled by Justin Sun, has exited the UK market following a High Court deal with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The agreement resolves a year-long lawsuit over alleged illegal marketing. Under the deal, HTX directs remaining UK customers to its website to withdraw assets, but this route is complicated by British sanctions designations against the exchange and its parent company, Huobi Global S.A. Existing users face difficulties accessing their funds as the government treats HTX as a sanctioned entity, with no published guidance on customer withdrawals.
