HTX launches negative fee trading on 28 TradFi assets and an $80K prize pool, escalating competition among exchanges to capture retail flow.
- HTX has introduced negative trading fees on 28 traditional finance (TradFi) assets, including tokenized stocks and ETFs, as part of its 'TradFi Trade to Earn' campaign.
- This aggressive strategy aims to attract retail traders from traditional brokerage platforms by essentially paying them to provide liquidity, a move that intensifies competition among crypto exchanges.
- The sustainability of this model hinges on HTX's ability to convert these users into long-term customers and ensure sufficient market maker support to prevent slippage from negating the fee benefits.
