Hello Professor
Hope you are doing fine? Am excited to participate in this home work task on Dex, Cex, Popular Exchanges and Trading Cryptos lectured by @imagen. In this article I will be giving you a brief history on Huobi exchange and a basic guide on how to make use of the Huobi exchange platform.
• Huobi
• KuCoin
• Waves Dex
There are many exchanges platform but we are given three out of many to choose one which I chose Huobi exchange.
SourceHuobi actually one the best cryptocurrency preferred by Investors/Traders. Huobi is currently based in scychelles. The exchange was created by Lion Li who graduated from Tsinghua University. He was working for a multinational computer technology corporation called "Oracle" as a computer engineer before he created Huobi. Currently Huobi exchange has branches in some part of the world such as Honk hong, Japan, South Korea and United States. Huobi was baned by the Chinese Government in 2017. So Huobi decided to restrict new users to get registered from china and also the existing ones will be restricted from using Huobi by the end of 2021.
This measures was taken when the Chinese Government prevents the transactions of digital assets, after it was declared that all crypto related transactions are illegal in the country. The Huobi exchange has a token called Huobi Token (HT) which is a blockchain powered loyalty point system. It allow products such as Huobi Token exclusive events, Trading against a well known coins, making your voice to be heard and it supports Huobi global business.
Below are some reasons why investors/traders loves to make use of the Huobi exchange.
- High Liquidity: This very necessary for trader/investors, because if an exchange is hand-full of tokens with low volume, investors will find it hard to purchase tokens they are interested on or will be persuaded to hold token that is their will.
- Flexibility and User Friendly: Huobi exchange is quite flexible and it allows people to make use of the market so easily. It makes investors so convenient to trade their currency.
- Security: To be security conscious is a very important thing to do on exchange platform. There are numerous cases of loss of money on exchange, but Huobi has made it known that they have not case of money loss for the past five years. This is to imply that their exchange is well secured.
- Community: Wíth the Huobi HADAX- Huobi Autonomous Digital Assets users of the community can for ICOs they want and think should be listed on HADAX-. Huobi offers tutorial for their users and it is quite obvious that Huobi has good intentions for their users.

You are required to provide a valid passport and a face capture.

In this phase I will be using STEEM/USDT as an example to show you how to trade on Huobi exchange.
- Firstly login into your Huobi exchange and click on trade
- Click on the three lines at the top left of your exchange to search for STEEM paired with USDT
- Click on the USDT and search for STEEM/USDT trading pair
- Choose the type of order you will like to use in the "Order" drop down menu ( I will be using the "limit order" for examples)
- Type in the price of USDT that you wish to buy the Steem and the amount of Steem you want to buy then click on the buy button.
- The limit order will be completed once the price of Steem gets to the price you set it.
Note: You can still take the same procedure when you want to sell Steem.
Huobi has some rivals in the world of crypto as a trading platform but the breadth of variety in crypto coins and tokens supported is a real strength. With the HADAX community will also help in winning many fans over and it is quite a clever move by Huobi. There are not much criticisms that has been leveled up against Huobi and in future I expect Huobi to be one of the dominant cryptocurrency exchanges.
With the above steps you good to go in becoming a Huobi Pro.
