Bit Trading Review

About Bit Trading

Bit Trading (operating via bittrading.club) presents itself as a Singapore‑registered entity with purported Money Services Business (MSB) status under FinCEN in the U.S., offering services such as instant buy/sell of Bitcoin, margin trading with leverage of 1:2 and 1:3, negative balance protection, multi-platform access (web, mobile app, WebSocket, REST API, FIX for institutional clients), and claims of high liquidity and competitive fees. These details are sourced directly from its website.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a warning on April 21, 2023, stating that Bit Trading is not registered with the CFTC. The company’s claim to hold a FinCEN MSB registration could not be verified in the FinCEN registry. The CFTC warning is a formal notice, and regulatory protections from either CFTC or NFA do not apply to this entity.

In light of the regulatory warning and absence of verifiable licensing, Bit Trading is unregulated and potentially misleading in its compliance claims. No other regulatory registration (FCA, CySEC, ASIC, etc.) is disclosed or confirmed.
