Index price — the median across major reference venues.
Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency — a peer-to-peer electronic cash system described in a 2008 white paper published under the name Satoshi Nakamoto, whose network began operating in January 2009.
Bitcoin runs on its own blockchain. Transactions are grouped into blocks, and blocks are appended by proof of work: participants known as miners expend computation to find a valid block, and whoever finds it receives newly issued bitcoin plus the fees paid by the transactions inside. There is no central issuer, administrator or company behind the network, and no party that can alter a balance. The rules change only when the participants running the software adopt the change.
The protocol caps total issuance at 21,000,000 BTC. Issuance is not a flat rate: the amount created in each block halves at a fixed block interval, an event commonly called the halving, so new supply arrives in steps that get smaller until the cap is reached. That schedule is written into the software rather than decided by an authority, and it is the same for every participant on the network. The smallest unit is the satoshi, one hundred-millionth of a bitcoin.
A bitcoin transaction becomes harder to reverse as the network builds blocks on top of the one containing it. Each block added counts as a confirmation, which is why services that accept BTC wait for a set number of confirmations before treating a deposit as settled. Blocks are targeted at an average interval of about 10 minutes, and the network periodically adjusts the difficulty of the proof-of-work puzzle so that interval holds whether more or less computation is pointed at it.
The software is open and anyone can run a node, which checks every block and transaction against the same rules for itself rather than trusting another participant to have done so. Proposed changes are published, implemented and adopted as separate steps, so a change takes effect only where it is actually run. On exchanges the asset is quoted as BTC, against fiat currencies and against stablecoins, and the price at any venue is set by the orders resting on that venue.
EBCMX credits a BTC deposit after it reaches the confirmation count below on the network you send from. Sending on a network that is not listed here will not credit.

BTC/USDTIndex — This price is the multi-venue index reference, not a price from the EBCMX order book: no sell order is resting within the index band on this market.
Bitcoin is priced at 77,261.9, the multi-venue index reference. No sell order is resting within the index band on the EBCMX BTC/USDT order book right now, so the index price is published instead of a price from our own book. Bitcoin is down 0.05% over the last 24 hours.
Across major venues over the last 24 hours Bitcoin traded between 76,001.0 and 79,896.3. BTC/USDT volume across major venues over the same window was 654,321,174.75 USDT.

These are reference figures at the current price and exclude trading fees; an actual order fills against the order book.
Spot trading is maker-taker. The entry rates below fall as your tier improves, and your tier is whichever of your 30-day trading volume or your assets on platform gives you the better rate.
| Market | Maker | Taker |
|---|---|---|
| BTC/USDT | 0.40% | 0.80% |
| BTC/USDC | 0.40% | 0.80% |
The price shown is the lowest resting sell order on our own order book, checked against a multi-venue index reference. If the book's best ask drifts more than 200 basis points from that reference, the index price is shown instead — so one off-market order can never set the published price.
Every open BTC market is listed above with its live price and 24-hour volume. Each one links straight to its order book.
Use any network in the deposit table above. Each row shows the confirmations we wait for and the minimum that credits. A deposit sent on an unlisted network will not credit.
Not exactly. The index reference is the median across major venues, but the price you trade at is our own order book, so it moves with the liquidity resting here.
The BTC price moves with supply and demand across the venues where it trades, with the liquidity resting in those order books, and with wider market conditions and news. EBCMX publishes what its own book and the index reference show, and does not forecast where the price goes next.
Spot trading is maker-taker. Your rate resolves from whichever of your 30-day trading volume or your assets on platform gives you the better tier, and the published schedule is the one settlement charges by. The entry rates for each BTC market are listed above.
Create an EBCMX account, complete identity verification, then deposit on one of the networks listed above. Once the deposit credits, place an order on a BTC market and it executes against the live order book.
Yes. A BTC withdrawal goes to an address you have added and confirmed first. A withdrawal fee applies per network and is shown to you before you confirm the withdrawal.
Market and limit orders, with time-in-force GTC, IOC, FOK or GTD, and a post-only flag on limit orders. Stop and take-profit triggers are available on BTC markets, as are OCO and OTO order groups.
Yes. Each BTC market publishes its own minimum order size along with its price and quantity precision. Those limits are enforced when the order is placed, so an order below the minimum is rejected rather than accepted.
A BTC deposit credits once it reaches the required number of network confirmations. That count differs per network and is listed in the deposit table above, so how long it takes depends on the network you send from.
Yes. An account must complete identity verification before it can trade BTC or withdraw it. Documents are reviewed by our team, not by an automated system.
