What We Found

Bitmart only offers crypto trading pairs and does not support fiat wallets. You can do fiat-crypto purchases with credit card but it has a high 3.85% fee. The other way to fund your account is with crypto deposits/withdrawals. If you decide to use Bitmart, you will need a local exchange that supports your bank account to cash out fiat.

Can You Trust Bitmart?

Yes, Bitmart is considered a trustworthy platform. They offer 2FA and hold 99% of funds in cold storage. Although they were hacked in 2021, the CEO said they dramatically upgraded their security and would reimburse its users for the losses.

⚠️ Although this platform is considered safe, over 50% of platforms we tested have had hacks or incidents in the past. We strongly recommend storing and protecting your crypto on a non-custodial wallet where you own the private keys. Preferably, a reputable hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano X.
