HTX launches TradFi Zone for 24/7 Wall Street trading

HTX launched a TradFi Zone that lists 66 traditional financial assets and offers 24/7 trading of U.S. stock futures, technology shares and other Wall Street instruments on its crypto platform. In a press release, HTX said the zone allows trading of assets that are normally limited to traditional market hours.

The company described the listing as an integration of conventional financial products and crypto assets. Instruments cited include Nasdaq futures and options on major technology companies, which HTX said users can trade outside standard exchange hours to respond to after-hours earnings and product announcements.

HTX said its broader ecosystem has recorded more than $1 billion in trading volume and includes sectors such as pre-IPO companies, AI-focused technology firms, blue-chip stocks, precious metals, commodities, global indices and sector ETFs.

According to the announcement, the TradFi Zone removes onboarding delays and geographic limits commonly associated with legacy brokerages, allowing users to execute cross-market strategies and trade when traditional markets are closed. The company presented the service as a way for crypto holders to hedge macroeconomic risk and for traditional investors to access Web3 markets using crypto accounts.

HTX noted the zone will combine crypto-style liquidity and permissionless trading mechanics with access to established financial products while highlighting its operational focus on security, user protection and compliance. The release included the slogans “Wall Street closes, HTX never does” and “For premium stock futures trading, choose HTX.”

Founded in 2013 as Huobi, HTX has expanded from a virtual-asset exchange into derivatives, research, investments and incubation services. The company said the TradFi Zone will tokenize conventional assets and embed them into its existing trading infrastructure.

The announcement did not include a detailed regulatory framework for the TradFi listings and did not provide a timetable for additional listings beyond the 66 assets currently available.
