The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced that HTX, a major cryptocurrency exchange, is no longer active in the UK. This development follows a settlement between HTX and the FCA concerning the exchange's financial promotions.
The settlement, which includes specific undertakings related to promotional practices, does not imply any admission of wrongdoing by HTX. This suggests that the decision to cease UK operations may be a strategic choice rather than a punitive measure.
The FCA has been increasingly active in regulating crypto-related activities, particularly in the area of financial promotions. This settlement is one of several recent actions taken by the regulator to enforce compliance with its guidelines.

HTX DAO, has shown relative stability, with a 24-hour price change of +0.64% and a 7-day change of -6.09%. The token's market cap remains at $1.36 billion.
The broader crypto market remains relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.68 trillion.
