The HTX referral code for 2026 is 2026SNG. It gives a 20% discount on spot and futures fees plus access to a welcome bonus of up to 1,500 USDT. Enter it on the sign-up form: it can't be added afterwards, HTX has no post-registration option.
Where to enter the HTX referral code
- Open the HTX sign-up page on the website or in the app.
- Enter your email or phone number first. If you start with the code and go back to the email afterwards, the code field clears itself, and it's easy not to notice.
- Expand the "Referral Code (Optional)" block, type 2026SNG (uppercase or lowercase both work), and tap "Next".
What the code actually gives you
The discount is where the real money is; the bonus is a side effect. Notifications about unlocked tiers arrive by email, and you can claim later.
- Trading-fee discount. Applies automatically once the account is verified — no claiming, no expiry date on your side.
- Welcome bonus. Lives in the "Rewards Hub" section as a set of sequential tasks: sign-up, first deposit (10 USDT minimum to qualify), first trade, and so on. Each completed task opens a Mystery Box with a random reward, and the same section lists time-limited tasks. The 1,500 USDT is the top of the whole ladder (it was 2,500 before 2026): a newcomer doing the basic tasks realistically sees 5–50 USDT, an active trader up to 200, and the upper rungs need turnover only heavy traders produce.
How to lower fees further
You can stack more savings with the exchange's native token, HTX. Hold HTX and enable "Reduce spot fees with HTX deduction" in your account settings — that adds 25% off spot and 5% off futures. Bear in mind the token-price risk: if HTX falls, the fee savings may not cover the loss on the token itself.
Even with both discounts running, HTX spot stays above what Binance, OKX, or KuCoin charge with their own native-token deductions. The full comparison is in our HTX review.
How it compares
HTX has the smallest reward ceiling in this table, and that's fine: on HTX the code is about the discount. What matters is that the discount matches OKX and Binance and beats Bybit, which gives none at all.
How we check the code
Once a month we run a three-step check:
- We verify the code's status from the HTX partner dashboard.
- In private mode we walk through the sign-up flow as an ordinary user would: email first, then 2026SNG in the code field, and we check that the form accepts it.
- The exchange changes the welcome-bonus mix from time to time, so we keep an eye on what's currently on offer.
The logic is simple: HTX shares part of its fee revenue with us, we pass on the discount and bonus the program allows, and we keep 2026SNG working.
Bottom line
On HTX the referral code is worth having for the discount, not the bonus: the discount switches on after KYC and never runs out, while the bonus is a chain of small tasks with a Mystery Box at the end. By the numbers HTX isn't the leader: its base fees sit above the biggest exchanges even after every deduction, and the welcome ladder is modest. People still open accounts here because the exchange has been around since the early days of the market and is still running, and 2026SNG simply makes trading on it cheaper for as long as you stay.
FAQ
What is an HTX referral code?
It's a partner code you type into the sign-up form. It ties the account to a partner, and in return HTX cuts your trading fees and opens the welcome tasks. Without it you register the same way, but trade at the full rate.
Is the 20% discount permanent?
Yes. It switches on after KYC and stays on for as long as the account exists, on spot and futures. It's a rate, not a coupon: nothing to claim and nothing that expires.
Why does a partner code give a bigger discount than a regular user's code?
On HTX the referrer decides how much of the referral commission goes back to the person they invited. A regular user's code usually passes back little or nothing; a partner code like 2026SNG comes with the full 20%.
Referral code, promo code, invite code: is there a difference?
No. On HTX they're three names for one field on the sign-up form, and 2026SNG works under any of them.
