Despite Ongoing Crypto Winter, Huobi DM Hits USD $20 Billion In Trading Volume

SINGAPORE, Jan. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite the ongoing bear market, Huobi's crypto asset trading service, Huobi Derivative Market (Huobi DM), recently saw its trading volume soar past USD $20 billion. The milestone came a mere 15 days after Huobi DM racked up its first USD $10 billion in trading volume in its first full month of operation. Based on the Huobi DM team's internal customer research, many users are particularly drawn to the fact that the platform's robust design and features have resulted in zero clawbacks so far.

"We're pleased with the strong response. This reinforces our belief that Huobi DM truly caters to our user's needs. We've been getting positive feedback from our clients on our lack of clawbacks as well as Huobi DM's capacity to help sophisticated traders manage the risk of spot market fluctuations. I believe this explains our platform's explosive growth, even in the midst of the ongoing bear market," said Livio Weng, CEO of Huobi Global.

Huobi DM's crypto asset contract trading service allows users the ability to take long and short positions on Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and EOS (EOS), providing options for arbitrage, speculation, and hedging that were not previously widely available in crypto trading. While similar services exist elsewhere, Huobi DM sets itself apart via a number of design features and policies, including:

• Superior risk management: including Price Limit, Order Limit, and Position Limit
• Superior risk control: with a sophisticated price limit mechanism, no claw back has occurred since its launch
• Real-time risk supervision: constatly monitor contract prices, index prices, abnormal transactions, and positions
• User protections: In addition to a 20,000 BTC Huobi Security Fund to protect users against catastrophic security failures, Huobi also has a dedicated Risk Management Insurance Fund for each trading pair against unfilled liquidation order losses. Funding for the insurance funds recently increased to 68.5 BTC, 689.9 ETH, 41,387.6 EOS
