HTX Collaborates with Fireblocks to Enhance Security with Off Exchange Integration

HTX, a leading global exchange, has announced its integration with Fireblocks Off Exchange, a pioneering solution designed to mitigate counterparty risk for trading firms and asset managers on centralized exchanges, according to fireblocks.com.

Strengthening Digital Asset Security

By leveraging Fireblocks Off Exchange, HTX aims to bolster its digital asset security and streamline global compliance operations, ultimately enhancing the virtual asset trading experience for its users. This integration allows HTX to provide a more secure trading environment and a better user experience, aligning with its goal of becoming the world’s leading one-stop trading platform.

“HTX is committed to establishing itself as the world’s leading one-stop trading platform, earning the trust of millions of users worldwide,” the company stated.

Battle-Tested Technology and Real-Time Settlement

Fireblocks Off Exchange employs Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology to help traders mitigate exchange counterparty risk by securing funds in MPC-based shared wallets. HTX views this development as a significant milestone in risk mitigation for over-the-counter (OTC) transactions within the cryptocurrency market.

HTX’s collaboration with Fireblocks is intended to contribute to a more secure and liquid cryptocurrency ecosystem, reducing trading risks while increasing freedom in trading. Users from both platforms can now perform instant transfers, payments, and other operations directly through their HTX accounts, enhancing the platform’s global presence and offering diverse investment opportunities worldwide.

“Exchanges are increasingly looking to innovative technology and institutional-grade security to address the challenges around counterparty risk and to ensure customer funds are protected. Fireblocks Off Exchange provides HTX with the ability to monitor and validate client collateral on-chain and enforce risk management without taking custody, as well as increases liquidity and maximizes capital efficiency, creating a more secure digital asset trading environment,” Fireblocks emphasized.
