Huobi HTX Lists CRWD and NES Perpetual Futures, Launching a $20,000 Futures Trading Party

Huobi HTX has expanded its derivatives lineup with two new USDT - margined perpetual futures markets: CRWD/USDT and NES/USDT, each supporting up to 10x leverage for both long and short positions. (htx.com)

Alongside the listing, HTX is also running a CRWD + NES Futures Trading Carnival with a total prize pool valued at $20,000. (htx.com)

This update is a useful snapshot of two broader crypto trends traders have been paying attention to since 2025:

1. Exchange derivatives continuing to dominate retail trading flows, and
2. Narratives converging across Crypto × AI and Crypto × TradFi access, as more venues add products that resemble traditional markets while still settling in stablecoins.
