The Original Bitcoin Exchange
Built to withstand the most volatile markets.
Your assets, your choices, our technology. Empowering your financial freedom.
Our mission
Inspired by Bitcoin, we're devoted to enabling people to transact and interact freely and effortlessly around the world.
We're devoted to building state-of-the-art technology that enables people to transact and interact freely and effortlessly around the world.
The digital asset space is evolving fast. To keep up with such rapid technological innovation requires an equally forward-thinking and agile approach. We provide state-of-the-art digital asset trading services for our users and global liquidity providers.
Born at the dawn of the Bitcoin revolution, everything we do is focused on creating simple, dependable & accessible technology that promotes freedom.
Our focus
To provide the highest standards of security and high throughput in a safe and low latency environment, so that traders can access our highly liquid markets.
Our team is made up of visionary people who combine imagination with practical expertise to craft solutions to the market's toughest challenges.
We list around 200 different tokens, 400 different spot trading pairs and over 80 perpetual futures contracts. We regularly review all the tokens listed on the exchange to ensure they meet our standards of governance and liquidity, and we're the preferred trading venue for institutions and professional traders.
Over the last decade, we’ve worked relentlessly to educate customers about the benefits and attributes of Bitcoin and the blockchain, while providing a technically superior environment to buy, hold and sell tokens.
Our technology
Our leading-edge solutions and knowledge are the foundation of our success and allow us to further the true principles of Bitcoin: equality, justice and freedom.
In our digital world, we have more tools than ever that enable people to transact and interact freely with each other.
Many of the traditional tools of payments and communication route information through centralised servers that store private information and charge high prices to communities that need them most but can’t afford them.
We believe Bitcoin provides a technology and a payments solution that’s fast, efficient and private. With no centralised servers or unnecessary intermediaries - and at near zero-cost - it enables financial inclusion and freedom.
We are proud to have nurtured and incubated Holepunch, the peer-to peer company, which is pioneering distributed systems.
We’ve made Bitcoin more accessible to everyone, connecting people and communities to financial freedom.
Bitfinex Freedom Manifesto
We chose El Salvador to launch our manifesto, as it is the world's first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. We invite everyone to read our manifesto, comment on it and support it.
Manifesto AnnouncementWith the Bitfinex Freedom Manifesto, we make the following three pledges:
1
We will remain committed to building open, peer-to-peer communication solutions to enable anyone, anywhere to interact and transact securely with freedom online.
2
We will work relentlessly to support the Lightning Network and similar technologies and contribute to making Bitcoin the most accessible and most efficient transaction solution.
3
We will support and invest in the Bitcoin community, including developers and white hat hackers, to ensure the strength, resilience and immutability of the Bitcoin network.
We believe Cipher ≠ Crypto.
We believe education is the key to create the momentum for positive societal change.
We believe that the permissionless qualities of Bitcoin are the path of least resistance for mass adoption.
We believe privacy is a fundamental human right that is sacrosanct and that freedom of speech is an essential cornerstone of financial freedom.
We believe cryptography and peer-to-peer networks are the most resilient and battle-hardened technology for increasing freedom worldwide.
We believe that Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer network is the best way to provide global financial inclusion.
Bitfinex set out to democratize Bitcoin, ensuring it’s within everyone’s reach
Our culture
White hat hackers and technologists contributing to the evolution of Bitcoin and crypto markets.
We know our work can impact millions of people. We are enthusiastic individuals who are highly motivated self-starters and are comfortable with autonomy and lifelong learning. When we are not working we are dreaming about it.
We place our egos aside and thrive within a culture that fosters everyone’s contribution from the birth of a concept to the launch of a product. We have a proven track record of innovation that draws on the expertise of our core engineering and cryptography teams. We have always seen integrity and standing up for what is right, as important qualities, even if it means acting alone.
We remain a small group of technology-focused developers at our core, working together to create high-calibre goods and services that advance freedom everywhere.
We’ve always aimed to be a catalyst for Bitcoin, unleashing its potential and delivering financial freedom to all
