About Us
What is Bittrex?Built and operated in the United States, Bittrex is the next generation crypto trading platform created by security professionals. We are crypto-coin enthusiasts bringing more than 50 years of combined security and development experience to the trading community from companies, including Microsoft, Amazon, Qualys, and BlackBerry.
Given the recent security breaches and reliability issues experienced by other markets, we felt the community deserved better. If virtual currencies are to truly take off, trustworthy infrastructure is a prerequisite.
At Bittrex, our mission is to deliver the fastest and most secure trading platform available.
At this time, we are launching with 12 currencies and plan to add more to meet demands as our community grows.
As security is our top priority, during the platform preview we will be offering a bug bounty for critical bugs reported to us. More information at mailto:support@bittrex.com.
What makes Bittrex different?Secure platform – We know that security makes the difference and to that end Bittrex employs the most reliable security technologies available. As part of this approach, we leverage an elastic multi-stage wallet strategy ensuring that 80-90% of funds are offline and safe. Additionally, two-factor authentication is required for all withdrawals and API usage. At Bittrex, security will always be a key factor that impacts every development decision we make.
Custom built trading engine – Our custom trading engine was designed to be scalable using elastic computing. The Bittrex platform processes and executes orders as soon as they are placed so you will never see a crossed order book or delay in processing of any trades.
Fast deposits and withdrawals – Our highly efficient and automated monitoring platform allows us to give you the fastest transactions available today. This includes updates on balance, trade, and wallet information. You will never be left wondering where your funds are or if your deposits are blocked, as information is always up to date.
Complete and easy REST API – Our full featured set of APIs allows you to withdraw as easily as you deposit, as well as trade, and exchange. Bittrex was built with high frequency trading in mind. We have designed the most complete API set for developers to build on our platform.

I like this part "
we leverage an elastic multi-stage wallet strategy ensuring that 80-90% of funds are offline and safe". A hack against BITTREX means only a maximum of 20% of your coins on BITTREX can be lost.
You should feel confident trading
