Announcement of New Funds Bonus Rules

To incentivize partners and clients to drive real and sustainable capital growth, the HTX platform has officially launched the “New Funds Bonus Trial Program”, under which we will provide ongoing bonus incentives based on the amount of real net new funds deposited on the platform.

Since the new funds bonus mechanism represents an innovative cooperation model within the industry, this event will be introduced in a trial operation format.

During the trial period, the HTX platform will conduct standardized calculation, settlement and distribution in accordance with the rules outlined in this announcement.

Upon conclusion of the trial period, the HTX platform will review market conditions and actual operational results, and may optimize or iterate the rules accordingly, with prior notice. The HTX platform reserves the right to make reasonable refinements and adjustments to the event details, provided such changes comply with applicable regulations.

I. Overview of the New Funds Bonus Program

The New Funds Bonus refers to an incentive whereby, during the event period, after you apply for and are approved to participate in the New Funds Bonus Program, the HTX platform will provide ongoing rewards to you and your direct sub‑affiliates based on the amount of new funds deposited and retained on the platform by users who register using your referral code—or via codes from your direct sub‑affiliates—that exceeds the historical funds baseline.

Trial Period: February 6 - June 30, 2026

3) Sustainable trading and financial management

II. Reward Rules (Bonus Rate)

Base Bonus Rate: 8%

The extra bonus portion is a time-limited incentive, and the HTX platform reserves the right to adjust it based on events and market trends.

III. Supported Asset Types for Bonus Calculation

Currently, the following assets can be counted toward effective new funds (subject to the assets actually supported by the platform):

USDT, USDC, USDD, USD1, ETH, DOT, AAVE, SUI, AVAX, POL (MATIC), EOS, CRV, NEAR, TRX, APT, SOL, ATOM, ADA, CSPR, TON, XCN

Assets not listed above are excluded from this bonus calculation.

IV. Definition and Statistical Rules for Effective New Funds

1. Definition of "Effective New Funds"

Effective New Funds = the portion of newly added funds above the historical baseline that are genuinely deposited and retained on the HTX platform within the statistical period.

Effective New Funds refer to funds that result from genuine net deposits and that are actually retained in the user’s account as equivalent assets.

The following asset changes are excluded from effective new funds calculation:

1) Profits from Spot/Futures trading

2) Earnings from financial and Earn products

3) Interests from margin and loans

4) Airdrops or referral bonuses

5) Value appreciation due to price increases of cryptos

In the case that trading losses or price decreases occur after a net deposit, the corresponding reduction will be reflected in a decrease in Effective New Funds.

2. Principles for Handling Trading Gains / Losses

When calculating effective new funds, the HTX platform adheres to the following core principle:

Only the portion of "net deposits that contribute real incremental funds" is counted; trading gains or losses will not artificially inflate effective new funds.

*Example (Applicable to both new and existing users):

Date	New Funds Baseline	Intraday Net Deposit	Intraday Trading PnL	Intraday Rewards	Intraday Bonus	Intraday Balance	Intraday Effective New Funds
Jan 5, 2026	100,000	20,000	0	0	0	120,000	20,000

Jan 9, 2026	100,000	0	0	10,000	0	170,000	50,000
Jan 10, 2026	100,000	0	0	0	5,000	175,000	50,000

3. For Newly Registered Accounts (New Users) After January 1, 2026

Baseline Adjustment Rules After Approval:

For users who registered after January 1, 2026 (new users), once approved for the New Funds Bonus Program, the HTX platform will recalibrate the baseline as of the bonus start date (approval date).

Calculation Method for the New Funds Baseline:

• If net deposits between the user's registration date and the start date are ≤ 0, then the New Funds Baseline = 0.
• If net deposits between the user's registration date and the start date are > 0, the New Funds Baseline will be adjusted accordingly.

1. A user registers on January 10, 2026, and deposits 100,000 USDT. The user is approved for the program on February 1, 2026 (start date). The net deposit before the start date is 100,000 USDT, so the New Funds Baseline is 100,000 USDT.
2. If the same user's balance drops to 80,000 USDT on January 11 due to trading losses, the baseline on the start date remains 100,000 USDT and is not adjusted to 80,000 USDT.
3. If the same user's balance increases to 120,000 USDT on January 11 due to trading profits, the baseline on the start date becomes 120,000 USDT, not 100,000 USDT.

4. For Already Registered Accounts (Existing Users) Before January 1, 2026

Baseline Adjustment Rules After Approval:

For users who registered before January 1, 2026 (existing users), once approved for the New Funds Bonus Program, the HTX platform will recalibrate the baseline as of the bonus start date.

Calculation Method for the New Funds Baseline:

• If net deposits from January 1, 2026 to the start date are positive, the HTX platform will use a dynamically adjusted baseline:

New Funds Baseline = 2025 Baseline Net Deposits from Jan 1, 2026 to the day before the start date

Example: If a user is approved for the program on Feb 1, 2026 with a 2025 baseline of 100,000 USDT, and between January 1 and January 31, 2026 they have net deposits of 20,000 USDT, then the New Funds Baseline becomes 120,000 USDT.

• If net deposits are negative, or trading losses cause total funds to fall below the 2025 baseline before the start date, the 2025 baseline will apply.

New Funds Baseline = 2025 Baseline

Example (negative net deposits): If a user is approved for the program on Feb 1, 2026, with a 2025 baseline of 100,000 USDT, and from Jan 1 to 31, 2026, they withdraw 20,000 USDT (net deposit = ‑20,000 USDT), with total funds at 80,000 USDT before approval, the New Funds Baseline remains 100,000 USDT (the 2025 baseline).

Example (reduction due to trading losses): If a user is approved on Feb 1, 2026, with a 2025 baseline of 100,000 USDT, and from Jan 1 to 31, 2026, their account balance drops by 20,000 USDT due to trading losses to 80,000 USDT before approval, the New Funds Baseline stays at 100,000 USDT (the 2025 baseline).

Definition of Historical Funds Baseline

The HTX platform calculates the 2025 Baseline for each account as follows:

1) Collect daily fund snapshots for all 365 days in 2025;

2) Sort by fund size from highest to lowest;

3) Select the top 25% of values;

4) Calculate the daily average of the selected top values.

That daily average becomes the account's 2025 Baseline.

The purpose of baseline calibration is to identify truly sustainable incremental funds and to prevent short‑term fluctuations or trading gains/losses from unfairly affecting bonus outcomes.

Effective new funds have a minimum of 0 and cannot become negative due to trading losses.

V. Sources of Bonus Earnings

Bonus earnings under the New Funds Bonus Program may be derived from, but are not limited to, the following sources:

1) Earnings from Financial Products

Earnings generated when new funds are allocated to HTX's financial products;

2) SmartEarn Yield

Interests earned when new funds are used in futures trading and SmartEarn features are activated;

3) In-Platform Lending Interest Income

Revenue generated from interest accrued on the platform's lending service using new funds.

4) HTX Platform Subsidy

HTX may provide additional subsidies for the bonus program according to the APY of each asset's flexible products.

六、VI. Settlement & Distribution Time

Bonus amounts are calculated based on effective new funds, the duration those funds are held on the HTX platform, and the corresponding market yield rates.

A representative formula for understanding the calculation (for illustration purposes only):

Bonus Amount = Effective New Funds × Holding Time × Reference Yield × Bonus Rate

The above formula is for illustrative purposes only and does not constitute any guarantee regarding returns, capital usage, or principal protection.

Settlement Interval: Quarterly

Bonus Distribution: Within 30 working days after the end of each quarter

Bonus amounts will be credited to users' HTX accounts or other designated channels and reflected in their transaction records.

Trading losses do not affect bonuses that have already been settled.

VII. FAQs

Q: Will frequent trading affect the calculation of effective new funds?
A: No. The HTX platform takes three random daily snapshots of your funds and uses the average to determine your intraday balance.

Q: Are trading profits counted as new funds?
A: No. Only net deposits are counted toward effective new funds.

Q: What happens if I withdraw funds midway?
A: Withdrawals directly reduce effective new funds.

Q: Can I participate in events on other platforms simultaneously?
A: Yes, but increases in funds due to trading gains, rewards, bonuses, cashback, or interest income are not counted toward effective new funds.

Q: Does clicking "Register" automatically enroll me?
A: No. After clicking "Register", a dedicated account manager will contact you to explain the details and finalize your participation.

Q: Is the partner hierarchy referenced here the same as the existing trading bonus referral system?
A: The partner hierarchy is similar to the current trading bonus referral system, but for the New Funds Bonus Program, it is limited to two tiers. If both hierarchical and New Funds Bonus conditions are met, the bonus share between the referrer and sub-referrer will be allocated at 30% and 70%, respectively.

Terms & Conditions:

1. Sub-accounts cannot be used to participate in this event. Trading volume from sub-accounts will be counted towards their main account.

2. To ensure your new funds are tracked for rewards, please complete level 3 KYC verification. Only verified accounts are eligible for the bonus program.

3. Participants who are found to be involved in any fraudulent behaviors, including but not limited to money laundering, manipulation of multiple accounts, and self-trading, will be disqualified. HTX reserves the right to disqualify accounts involved in cheating and exclude their data from the bonus program's calculations.

4. Any new funds from users who have canceled their accounts recently will be excluded from the calculation.
