Background

Read full background

PrimeXBT started in 2018 as a crypto-focused trading brand and has since grown into a broader multi-asset derivatives platform, expanding from its early crypto roots into products like crypto futures, FX & CFDs, buy crypto, and copy trading. Today, it positions itself as a platform for active traders who want access to multiple markets, trading tools, and web/mobile platforms rather than a simple spot-only exchange.
