bit2c review

Trading costs depend on the coin, with maker and taker fees both running 0.05% to 1.25%. That range starts at the cheap end of what exchanges here charge and tops out higher, so the pair you pick decides what you pay. The median taker fee across the exchanges compared is 0.2%.

Yes. bit2c sits under the Israel Securities Authority, and its licence is recorded as 72080. The operator behind the account is Bit2C I.T. Ltd (Israel company no. 517169447). The licence is a securities licence rather than a banking one, so coins on the balance are held by the exchange itself and not by a bank.

No, bit2c holds them. Accounts are custodial, and the wallet you trade through is a browser wallet, so there is no seed phrase to store. The trade-off is convenience against counterparty risk: coins sit with the operator until you withdraw to an address you control.

The listed count is 2 coins, and the supported set is 2, which covers major pairs rather than small-cap altcoins. On coins listed that places it at 164 out of 176 brands compared, so a long tail is not the reason to come here.

Fiat deposits run through bank transfer, and the operator is based in Israel, which makes shekel the natural currency to fund with. That transfer is the only method listed, so top-ups stay simple if you hold a local bank account.

Support runs on help centre and email, so questions go by email or through the help centre. There is no live chat or phone line in that set, which matters if a trade or a withdrawal is stuck and you want an answer the same day.

Derivatives are not offered, so there is no futures or perpetual contract market here. Trading runs on a cex structure and balances sit in a custodial account, which keeps the order flow straightforward but puts leverage out of reach.

bit2c charges 0.05% to 1.25% as maker or taker fees, against 0.25% to 1.99% at bunq and 1% at eToro. Vivid Plus lists 2.25% against its crypto earn feature, which is a different product. On trading cost alone, the exchange is the cheapest of the four.
