1:1 storage of users’ assets

Users’ assets are stored on a one-to-one basis on BTCC: Bitcoin will be stored if users deposit Bitcoin; Tether will be stored if users deposit Tether.Users’ funds and company assets are entirely segregated from each other. There is not a possibility for a bank run.

Money Laundering Prevention and Identity Authentication

In addition to safeguarding users’ assets, BTCC also has a set of money laundering preventive (AML/CTF) measures.

Due to the privacy and anonymity nature of cryptocurrency, it can easily be used by money launderers if it is not regulated. In order to better reinforce the money laundering prevention mechanism, BTCC requires users to verify their identity through identity verification (KYC) before depositing and withdrawing funds in fiat currency. Despite the inconvenience, it is a necessary measure to keep the platform safe and secure.

No collateralising tokens for loans

BTCC does not issue any tokens, and we are completely self-funded. We did not invest or participate in any staking or DeFi projects. BTCC’s financial situation will not be affected by the sell-off of any tokens or extreme market conditions. Users can withdraw their assets at any time.

Tips for better account security

☑ Use strong passwords, keep them safe, and change them regularly

Passwords that are cracked by attackers often use common words and phrases. Users are recommended to create a password of at least 8 characters, including upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.

Regularly check your login history

Users can check their login history through btcc.com's account security page. If you find any unrecognised records or login IP, please change your password immediately, or contact customer support for assistance.

Use two-factor authentication (2FA)

When two-factor authentication is enabled, a special one-time verification code is required after entering the password. This way, even if your password is stolen, your account remains safe.At BTCC, you can use email, SMS or Google Authenticator to receive a verification code after entering your password.

Complete identity verification (KYC) as soon as possible

Not only can completing KYC allow you to use all the deposit and withdrawal functions and have a higher withdrawal limit, your BTCC account security will also be enhanced. Our customer support team will also be able to work with your inquiries faster.

Manage your addresses carefully

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
