Bittrex Reopens New User Registrations

Seattle-based cryptocurrency exchange Bittrex announced the resumption of customer user registrations and the launch of its enhanced website.

Registrations at Bittrex were initially paused in December due to saturated capacity and in order “to preserve the experience, stability and security of the platform for existing customers”. Over the past few months new users were enrolled through a waiting list program.

“We’ve spent the past four years building Bittrex on the founding principles of innovation, security and responsibility,” said Bittrex CEO Bill Shihara.

“Given these principles, pausing new user signups during a period of immense trading volume was not a decision we took lightly, but our responsibility to provide customers with a reliable platform and outstanding customer service, made it the right thing to do. After diligently working to improve our infrastructure and upgrade our website, we’re pleased to announce registration for new users resumed today.”

As was Bittrex previous policy, new users will need to submit to identity verification procedures to use the trading platform. The exchange uses these procedures to increase security for all users and ensure that the company is adhering to Know-Your-Customer rules.

And we got new UI

I like the new UI, much better for me. Larger graph for me at 4k and the new dark theme is nicer on the eyes. Having the order book on the same page is good. The reverse zoom on the mouse is frustrating though.

Do you like the new Bittrex UI?
