Huobi Exchange

Founded in 2013, in Seychelles, Huobi is one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges serving more than 10+ million users globally. It is a centralized exchange. The platform allows users to buy/sell, store, borrow, and stake numerous crypto assets. The platform has a native token named, Huobi Token (HT). The exchange follows the highest security and risk management parameters and thereby has not reported a single security failure incident since its inception.

So, in this article, we will explain how you can create an account in the Huobi exchange, and how to use it. Our readers and fans in Japan, Singapore, the US, and Canada, sorry you are shut out from Huobi. Instead, try MEXC where all of you can trade.

  • ID Verification

After the creation of the account, users need to verify their identity. Identity verification will enhance the platform’s security and increase the deposit and withdrawal limits of users’ accounts. Users have to first select the kind of type of account they are holding:
