How to Buy and Sell Bitcoin Instantly for USD/MYR/HKD/VND/CNY on Huobi Lite?
A quick how-to guide on exchanging Bitcoin for fiat currency and vice versa
Digital asset exchange Huobi Global has launched Huobi Lite, where you can exchange Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies directly for an array of fiat currencies. You can also use fiat currency to buy cryptocurrency instantly. Huobi Lite is similar to Huobi peer-to-peer, the over-the-counter trading desk, where Huobi is an independent third party facilitator. Huobi states its Lite version is simple to use and it can provide users with the best prices if they buy tokens with fiat currency.
The amount of cryptocurrency you have in your trading account on Huobi Global is automatically visible and tradeable in Huobi Lite. This only applies to currencies that are available on Huobi Lite, other balances are not shown on Huobi Lite.
As of now, Huobi Lite supports the following currencies:
Fiat: US Dollar (USD), Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), Vietnamese Dong (VND) and Chinese Yuan (CNY).
Cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH, Tether (USDT), Huobi Token (HT), EOS (EOS), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), HUSD (HUSD).
At Huobi Lite there are no trading fees.

Huobi Token price surge
If you followed the token price of Huobi Global’s exchange token Huobi Token (HT), you must have noticed its recent steep incline. The Huobi Token (HT) price reached a new yearly high of $5.48 per token on the 28th of February. At the present time, HT is trading around $4.01 per token. This price increase is in line with the accelerated interest in cryptocurrency trading as well as the increased token utility. Huobi Global started the year with a 65% monthly growth in trading volume, compared to the last month of 2019. Huobi also intends to integrate HT at third-party partners, like credit card issuers, digital bank cards, and blue-chip technology companies.
Huobi Global is constantly expanding the scope of Huobi Token’s applicability and, price-wise, it looks like it’s paying off. As a top 4 global digital asset exchange in terms of liquidity, according to Coinmarketcap.com, Huobi Global launched the testnet of its own regulator-friendly blockchain, called Huobi Chain. HT will play an essential role in the Huobi Chain ecosystem.
Huobi Tokens (HT) are listed on various exchanges, like its parent company Huobi Global as well as Binance JEX, BitMax, Gate.io, BKEX and Bibox.
Concluding remarks
When buying or selling Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in my home country (The Netherlands) I am often dependent on cryptocurrency brokers. In my opinion, there are too many things that can go wrong when buying or selling crypto through Bitcoin OTC channels. Trust is one of the biggest issues. There are many scammers in the cryptocurrency industry.
The two main benefits of buying and selling at Huobi Lite are the fact that Huobi is a third party independent facilitator which makes the trades fairly safe, and the fact that the transactions are free from trading fees. This is only a benefit if the buying and selling prices are competitive.
My main disadvantage is the absence of the EURO as a fiat currency for me, but maybe they will add it in the future.
