Bitrue is a crypto exchange that was launched in early 2018. The exchange is registered in Singapore, and has users from more than 80 countries and offices in the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, and Europe.

The exchange defines its mission in three words: "Security, Speed, and Simplicity," as seen on their website. The exchange initially gained significant support through the introduction of the underlying XRP market, which was very popular with enthusiasts promoting the exchange.

Bitrue remains true to its early venture and continues to maintain and develop its underlying XRP market, making it probably the number one exchange in terms of liquidity for traders who prefer to trade assets against XRP as a base.

A team consisting of CEO Kuris Wang and a total of 8 people who previously worked at Telecom. The rest of the team mostly also worked at Cheetah Mobile - the same company where the CEO worked.

The exchange supports trading in a decent number of currencies. Even though the exchange was a newcomer to the industry just a year ago, today the volume of daily trading is constantly growing, and it describes itself as a "young and reliable cryptocurrency exchange".

Trading Characteristics

The site is relatively responsive and accessible, the support team responds quickly, and there is no need for an initial KYC to start depositing cryptocurrency and trading. However, there is a lack of English on the Bitrue website and in the customer support service, and there are problems communicating with the exchange or understanding some of its functions, as their explanations are not too clear, since most if not all of the exchange team is of Chinese origin and is more focused on the Chinese audience.

As for the trading functions, the platform offers:
