HTX exits UK, leaving customers to request a 48-hour withdrawal window

Crypto exchange HTX has exited the UK following a settlement in the Financial Conduct Authority’s promotions case. Its UK customers cannot deposit or trade, while eligible users face a conditional process to withdraw remaining assets. HTX’s UK service notice says existing accounts identified as UK accounts cannot transact across its products and services. Eligible individuals holding residual assets must contact customer support to request a one-time, 48-hour withdrawal window. Access depends on the conditions and limits of the applicable Personal Remittances General Licence, alongside HTX’s identity, ownership, sanctions, anti-money laundering, fraud and account-security checks. The individual withdrawal window requires approval.
