HTX Rebind Guide 2026: Re-register with nova888, 50% Rebate

If your existing HTX (formerly Huobi) account was opened with someone else's referral code, or with none at all, that referral link can no longer be changed. The fix is to register a new account through the dedicated link with the lowercase code nova888 and trade from the new account. When you bind through Quant Nova, HTX pays a 40% → 50% fee rebate on futures and 40% → 45% on spot, 2 to 2.5 times a common 20% referral code. On 1,000 USDT of monthly fees, a common 20% code returns 200 USDT while nova888 returns 400–500 USDT, which is 200–300 USDT more every month.

The new account can trade and withdraw without KYC, up to 2 BTC per day. For more, complete L1 Basic verification: enter your nationality, ID number, surname, given name and date of birth, then submit. There is no face scan and no document photo, and once L1 is done your withdrawals have no limit. This guide covers the rebind steps, how to fill in L1 and how much more rebate you get.

Key takeaways

• An old account's code cannot be changed: HTX has no public way to add a code later, and a bound code is permanent, so rebinding means registering a new account.
• The referral code is all-lowercase nova888: the same as WEEX, not the uppercase NOVA888 used on other exchanges.
• No KYC needed to get started: the new account can trade and withdraw normally, up to 2 BTC per day.
• L1 is just five fields: nationality, ID number, surname, given name and date of birth, with no face scan or document photo; after that withdrawals are unlimited.
• The rebate is 2 to 2.5 times a common code: through Quant Nova, up to 50% on futures and 45% on spot. Remember to bind the new account's UID on Quant Nova after you register.

When do you need to rebind?

An HTX referral code can only be entered at sign-up. There is no public way to add one afterwards, and once a referral link exists it cannot be changed. In any of these cases your old account will not earn nova888's rebate:

• You used someone else's code, such as one from a KOL or a friend, which usually passes on only 20%, sometimes 25%.
• You left the code blank: the "Referral Code (Optional)" field is collapsed by default, and many people submit without ever opening it.
• You typed uppercase NOVA888: HTX's code is lowercase nova888, and the wrong case counts as no code.

Why do most codes stop at 20%? HTX's official rules state that a referrer creating a custom code decides how much to share with the people they invite, and keeps the rest of the commission. When you bind through Quant Nova, nova888 pays 40% from Lv.1 with no volume requirement, which is why rebinding is worth doing.

You cannot change the old account's referral link, but you can register a new account with lowercase nova888 and move your trading there. The same volume then earns 40%–50% back instead of a common code's 20%. That is what rebinding on HTX means.

How existing HTX users rebind: register a new account

There are four short steps: sign up with a new email or phone number, use the account without KYC, decide which account gets your verified identity, and complete L1 when you need higher limits.

Step 1: Sign up through the dedicated link with lowercase nova888

Use an email address or phone number that has never been registered on HTX, and open the official HTX sign-up page through the button in this article; the dedicated link already carries the code. After setting a password and passing verification, expand "Referral Code (Optional)" and confirm it reads lowercase nova888 before you continue. If you sign up manually, type nova888 exactly as shown. Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) as soon as the account is open.

Step 2: Trade and withdraw without KYC

A new HTX account can trade and withdraw without KYC, with a daily withdrawal limit of 2 BTC. For most people 2 BTC a day covers normal deposits and withdrawals, so you can fund the account and start trading straight away instead of waiting on verification.

Step 3: One person's KYC data can verify only one account

HTX identity verification follows the person: one person's KYC data can verify only one account. Your new account can therefore stay unverified and still trade and withdraw up to 2 BTC a day; if your old account was never verified, you can complete L1 on the new one with your own details.

Step 4: Complete L1 Basic verification when you need higher limits

L1 Basic verification takes five fields and a click on Submit (HTX explains its verification levels in HTX's official KYC guide):

1. Nationality
2. ID number
3. Surname as on your ID (labelled 中文姓 in the Chinese interface)
4. Given name as on your ID (labelled 中文名 in the Chinese interface)
5. Date of birth

Press Submit and you are done. L1 needs no face verification and no photo of your ID; once it is complete, the withdrawal limit goes from 2 BTC per day to unlimited. Enter your details exactly as they appear on your ID to avoid typos.

No KYC vs L1: what is the difference?

In short: if you withdraw less than 2 BTC a day, the new account works fine unverified; for larger transfers, a few minutes on L1 removes the limit.

After registering, bind your UID on Quant Nova

The referral code goes in on HTX; the UID is bound on Quant Nova. The rebate is only complete once both are done. Your UID is the numeric ID of your HTX account, shown in your personal centre after you log in, where you can copy it. Paste it into the Quant Nova rebate site, choose HTX and submit. Make sure you bind the new account's UID, not the old one.

Binding needs only the UID, with no API key, password or withdrawal permission, and your assets stay in your own HTX account throughout. Fees generated after binding are matched to your UID line by line once the exchange's daily report is imported, usually credited from T+1, and every entry can be checked. For where to find the UID, see What is an exchange UID and where to find it.

How much more rebate do you get after rebinding?

When you bind through Quant Nova, HTX futures start at 40% at the no-threshold Lv.1, then 44% at Lv.5, 45% at SVIP and 50% at the invitation-only Supernova tier; spot is 40% at Lv.1 and up to 45%. The full tier table:

A rebate is a percentage of your fees, so start with HTX's regular-user (Prime 0) list rates:

Fees verified on 2026-09-24 (each exchange's official fee schedule).

The latest rates are on HTX's official fee page.

Spot example: a 0.2% fee makes the rebate count

HTX charges 0.2% maker and taker on spot, tied with XT.COM for the highest of the twelve exchanges we cover. On 100,000 USDT of spot volume a month, fees are 200 USDT: a common 20% code returns 40 USDT, nova888 returns 80 USDT at Lv.1 and 90 USDT at the top tier.

Figures in USDT per month; "extra per year" uses 45% minus 20%. As an effective rate, a common code leaves you paying 0.16%, nova888 Lv.1 0.12% and the top tier 0.11%. On HTX spot, picking the right referral code cuts the 0.2% fee almost in half.

Futures example: an effective taker fee as low as 0.03%

Assuming 70% taker and 30% maker orders, the blended rate is 0.7 × 0.06% + 0.3 × 0.02% = 0.048%. On 500,000 USDT of futures volume a month, fees are 240 USDT: a common 20% code returns 48 USDT, nova888 returns 96 USDT at Lv.1 and 120 USDT at the top tier. A 0.06% taker fee after a 50% rebate is 0.06% × (1 − 50%) = 0.03%.

A note on regions: under the HTX User Agreement (updated September 2026), derivatives are not available in some regions. Check yours before trading futures; the futures example above applies where HTX derivatives are available.

On 1,000 USDT of monthly fees, a common 20% code returns 200 USDT, while nova888 returns 400 USDT on futures at Lv.1 and 500 USDT at the top. Over a year that is 2,400–3,600 USDT more, and the only difference is the code you signed up with.

Settlement: Quant Nova settles the rebate according to your tier and can send it to your bound UID by HTX internal transfer. Details are in the HTX fee rebate guide.

Who benefits most from rebinding?

• Spot-focused HTX users: the 0.2% spot fee is the biggest cost, and after rebinding you pay 0.11%–0.12%. At 100,000 USDT of spot volume a month, that is 600 USDT a year more than a common code.
• Futures traders in regions where derivatives are available: up to 50% back and a 0.03% effective taker fee. At 500,000 USDT of futures volume a month, the top tier returns 72 USDT a month more than a common code.
• Anyone withdrawing under 2 BTC a day: the new account works without KYC, so rebinding adds almost no extra steps; for larger transfers, a few minutes on L1 is enough.

If you barely trade on HTX, rebinding makes little difference. But if HTX is one of your regular exchanges, you pay fees every month, and the sooner you rebind, the bigger the gap you collect.

Common rebinding mistakes

• Typing uppercase NOVA888: HTX's code is all-lowercase nova888; entering it the way other exchanges use it will not bind.
• Submitting without expanding "Referral Code (Optional)": the field is collapsed by default, so open it and check it reads nova888 before continuing.
• Signing up with the old account's email or phone: the new account needs an email or phone number never registered on HTX.
• Forgetting to bind the UID on Quant Nova: entering the code without binding the UID leaves the rebate incomplete.
• Binding the old account's UID: after rebinding you trade on the new account, so bind the new account's UID.

Bottom line: rebind with nova888 now

You cannot change an old HTX account's code, but by registering again with lowercase nova888 and binding the new UID on Quant Nova, your futures rebate goes from a common code's 20% to 40%–50%, and spot to 40%–45%. The new account withdraws up to 2 BTC a day without KYC, and L1 removes the limit.

The same trades earn 2 to 2.5 times a common 20% code's rebate after rebinding, and the sooner you switch, the more you collect. For code details see HTX referral code nova888; WEEX also uses a lowercase code and the same re-register method, see the WEEX rebind guide.

Frequently asked questions

Can I withdraw from HTX without KYC?

Yes. An unverified HTX account can trade and withdraw, with a daily withdrawal limit of 2 BTC; after L1 Basic verification, withdrawals have no limit.

How many HTX accounts can one person verify?

One. A person's KYC data can verify only one account; other accounts stay unverified and can still trade and withdraw up to 2 BTC a day.

What do I need for HTX L1 verification?

Just five fields: nationality, ID number, surname and given name as on your ID, and date of birth, then press Submit. No face verification and no ID photo are needed.

What happens to the assets in my old account after rebinding?

Withdraw them from the old account to the new one. Copy a deposit address in the new account, withdraw to it from the old account, and trade on the new account from then on so the rebate counts for you.

Can I change the referral code on my existing HTX account?

No. HTX has no public way to add a code later, and a bound referral link cannot be changed, so rebinding means registering a new account with lowercase nova888.

Do I need to close my old HTX account before rebinding?

No. Rebinding just means opening a new account; the old one can stay as it is. Withdraw its assets to the new account and trade there.

Is the HTX referral code uppercase or lowercase?

All lowercase: nova888, the same as WEEX. Binance, Bybit, Bitget and the other exchanges use uppercase NOVA888. The dedicated link fills it in for you.

How much HTX rebate do I get after rebinding?

When you bind through Quant Nova, futures pay 40% at Lv.1 and up to 50%, spot 40% and up to 45%, which is 2 to 2.5 times a common 20% referral code.
