Huobi Crypto exchange completed 10 years of journey in this crypto sector but people are comparing this exchange with FTX.
Huobi Global is a Chinese crypto exchange, founded 10 years ago. In late 2021, following China’s national crackdown on the crypto sector, this exchange shifted all of its operations from Mainland China. In early this year, popular crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun purchased the majority of the stakes in Huobi Global for $1 billion but he publicly never admitted that he is the actual owner of Huobi.
On 13 Sep 2023, The Huobi Global team shared its happiness as the exchange completed 10 years of journey in this innovative sector.
Interestingly on the same day, Huobi Global changed its X (Twitter) name. As per available information, the new name of this exchange is now HTX.

The majority of the people called this move a badass decision, as the name is similar to the FTX crypto exchange, which collapsed badly in Nov of last year.
It reminds me of FTX, not a genius move IMHO.
