Our verdict
Bitso Brasil is a self-custody, software wallet exchange charging 0.05% to 0.78% on taker trades, and it suits readers who want direct control of their keys. Its 29 coin list is narrow next to the 71.5 median for exchanges on this site, and funding runs over ach only.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Maker fees of 0.04% to 0.6% and taker fees of 0.05% to 0.78%, against a 0.2% exchange median.
- Custody is self custody and the wallet is software, so key control sits with the account holder.
- A long operating record: the company dates to 2014 and is based in Mexico as Bitso, S.A.P.I. de C.V..
- Earning on idle holdings through staking sits alongside spot trading.
Cons
- The coin list is short at 29, which ranks 127 on coins listed.
- Fiat deposits run on ach only, which is thin for a UK or European reader.
- Support runs on help centre only, so written answers are the route for anything urgent.
Who it suits
- Readers in MX and nearby markets who bank locally and fund over ach.
- Anyone who wants self custody through a software wallet rather than platform-held balances.
- Traders who can live with 29 coins and want staking on top of trading.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not for readers whose banking rail does not match ach, the only fiat deposit route here; bunq, eToro and Vivid Plus are the alternatives listed.
- Not for traders who only read headline fees: bunq charges 0.25% to 1.99%, eToro 1% and Vivid Plus 2.25% next to 0.05% to 0.78% here.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to trade on Bitso Brasil?+
Taker fees are 0.05% to 0.78% and maker fees are 0.04% to 0.6%, and the wallet itself carries a price of $0. The median taker fee for exchanges in this group is 0.2%, so if you trade often the maker side of the fee list matters more than the headline rate.
Is Bitso Brasil regulated, and is money on the platform protected?+
No licence is named for this brand, so there is no stated protection scheme behind a platform balance. The operator behind it is Bitso, S.A.P.I. de C.V., based in Mexico, with a custody model of self custody. Keep anything larger than you can afford to lose in keys you control.
How do I deposit money into the account?+
Fiat deposits run over ach, and that is the only funding route on offer. If you bank that way, funding is simple; if your money moves on another rail, you will need a different exchange. Settle the funding route before your first deposit, not while a transfer is waiting.
How many coins can I buy and sell?+
The exchange lists 29 coins, which puts it at 127 on coins listed here. That is a short catalogue next to the 71.5 median for exchanges on this site, so a broad, diversified basket is not something you can hold here.
Who actually holds my crypto?+
Custody is self custody and the wallet is software, so control of the keys sits with you rather than the platform. That means withdrawals go straight to an address you own, and nobody can move funds on your behalf if something goes wrong. You also hold the backup.
What are the risks of trading here?+
Retail accounts typically lose 70.15% on this kind of trading, a market-wide pattern rather than a fault of this exchange. Keep the amount you can afford to lose small, and treat any return from staking as uncertain rather than income.
What support do I get if a deposit stalls?+
Support runs on help centre only, so expect a written answer rather than a phone line during a stuck transfer. For an exchange moving deposits and withdrawals, that is a real constraint. Have your reference and transaction details ready, and read the depositing articles before sending funds.
Is Bitso Brasil a good fit for a UK or European reader?+
On the funding side, not really. The company has run since 2014 from MX and funds over ach, so that single deposit route is the sticking point rather than the 0.05% to 0.78% fee. The 29 coin list suits a focused trader rather than a diversified one.
