If you've used Huobi for years, you're already on HTX — the exchange rebranded from Huobi to HTX in late 2023, keeping the same accounts and balances. The only thing that trips people up now is the network naming on the withdrawal screen. Pick the TRC20 / TRON option and your USDT lands on Fish & Chips in a couple of minutes for a flat 1 USDT fee — we never charge anything on deposits.
TL;DR: HTX (ex-Huobi) → Withdraw → USDT → TRC20 / TRON (not ERC20, not HECO) → paste your TronLink address (starts with
T) → arrives in ~2 minutes → connect at fishnchips.io/wallet.
Step 1 — Install TronLink and copy your address
On mobile, install TronLink from the App Store or Play Store. Create or restore a wallet and write the 12-word recovery phrase down offline. If you lose it, the funds are gone — HTX support cannot recover a self-custodial wallet.
Your address starts with a capital T and is 34 characters long. Tap it in TronLink to copy.
Step 2 — Withdraw from HTX
- Sign in to HTX (the app may still say Huobi if you haven't updated — it's the same exchange) and go to Assets → Withdraw.
- Search USDT and select it.
- Chain: choose TRC20 / TRON. HTX may show it as "USDT-TRC20". This is the single step that can lose your money.
- Paste your TronLink address. HTX asks you to add and verify new addresses by 2FA and email.
- Enter the amount and submit. Confirm with 2FA.
| Network | HTX label | Fee | Works for Fish & Chips? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tron | TRC20 / USDT-TRC20 | ~1 USDT | ✅ Yes |
| Ethereum | ERC20 | 3–15 USDT | ❌ Lost funds |
| HECO / others | HRC20 etc. | varies | ❌ Lost funds |
Step 3 — Confirm on Fish & Chips
Open fishnchips.io/wallet, tap Connect Wallet, and approve TronLink. Within about a minute of the Tron block confirming, the deposit posts to your balance at 1 USDT = 1,000 points. Your first-ever deposit also triggers the welcome bonus — a 50% match capped at 5,000 points.
You can verify the transfer on Tronscan: search your address and the latest inbound USDT transfer should read "Success".
Common mistakes to avoid
- Thinking HTX and Huobi are different exchanges. They're the same — same login, same funds. Don't try to "move" coins between them.
- Picking the wrong chain label. HTX lists several USDT chains. Make sure you chose TRC20 / TRON, not ERC20 or HECO — there's no switch after you send.
- Sending dust amounts. Fund at least 10 USDT so you can comfortably withdraw winnings later (our minimum cash-out is 10 USDT).
- Pasting an exchange address. Use your own TronLink address, never another exchange's deposit address.
Once your first deposit lands, every future one takes about 30 seconds because TronLink remembers the address. New here? Read the TRC-20 vs ERC-20 explainer before you send, or jump straight into the Submarine Dive crash round (97.5% RTP).
Frequently asked questions
Is HTX the same as Huobi?
Yes. HTX is the rebrand of Huobi, completed in late 2023. The app, accounts, and balances are the same — only the name and logo changed. If you still have the Huobi app it now shows HTX branding, and the USDT withdrawal flow is identical.
How do I pick the TRC-20 network on HTX?
On HTX, go to Withdraw, select USDT, then choose the chain. HTX usually labels the Tron option as 'TRC20' or 'TRON', sometimes shown as 'USDT-TRC20'. Pick that — not ERC20 or HECO. It's the same Tron rail Fish & Chips accepts and the cheapest HTX offers.
What is HTX's withdrawal fee for USDT TRC-20?
Around 1 USDT, flat, on the TRC20 (Tron) network. It's the same fee regardless of amount, which makes Tron the cheapest way out of HTX — far below the Ethereum (ERC-20) fee.
What is HTX's minimum USDT TRC-20 withdrawal?
Around 2 USDT on the Tron network. To withdraw winnings later you need at least 10 USDT on Fish & Chips (our minimum cash-out), so funding 10 USDT or more from the start is the cleanest path.
