HTX to Offer $6 Million Space Journey

The cryptocurrency exchange HTX is set to offer a $6 million ticket to space as part of its “Mars Program” campaign. The ticket will be fully funded by HTX advisor and TRON founder Justin Sun, according to a press release.

Earlier, the HTX team completed seven stages of the “Mars Program,” selecting seven candidates in the process.

The campaign will run until May 13, 2025. Participants must complete third-level KYC verification on the exchange. Organizers will select five new finalists based on registration date, trading activity, and balance. These will join the seven existing candidates, forming a group of 12 contenders.

The winner will travel to space with Justin Sun in July 2025.

“This mission is not for the elite or management—it is open to everyone. Space should be accessible to all. With this journey, we aim to take the idea of cryptocurrency beyond Earth,” Sun stated.

Previously, HTX completed the integration of the Fireblocks Off-Exchange institutional trading solution. This allows clients to store funds in offline collateral accounts while receiving a 1:1 credit on the exchange.
