The ‘ST’ tag is given to tokens whose projects have been reviewed by Huobi and failed to fulfill the following conditions.

- In 15 consecutive days, none of the trading pairs of the tokens has an average daily trading volume larger than $50,000 or other equivalent token
- It is considered necessary to mark “ST” through the comprehensive evaluation of inquiry, regular review, special investigation or on-site investigation
- Other situations identified as serious violations of the Regulations by Huobi.
