In 2019, amid the rapid evolution of blockchain technology and the maturing global digital asset market, VicBit Exchange emerged, formally declaring its entry into the global cryptocurrency trading arena.
That year marked a pivotal transition for the global crypto industry—from speculation to a more structured, compliant, and intelligent ecosystem. Born at this crucial turning point, VicBit embarked on a decisive journey fueled by a steadfast belief in the transformative power of financial technology.
Founding Mission: Making Crypto Finance More Inclusive, Secure, and Sustainable
The VicBit founding team hails from the U.S., U.K., Singapore, China, and beyond, comprising blockchain technology experts, financial engineers, compliance advisors, and seasoned product managers. Their resumes include leading institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Google, and Harvard Blockchain Lab, bringing global perspectives and hands-on experience.
Recognizing the challenges early crypto traders faced—security risks, poor user experiences, slow fund flows, and uneven project quality—VicBit was founded with three key missions:
Deliver a secure, efficient asset custody and trading mechanism.
Build a globally liquid, locally compliant platform.
Create a full-spectrum digital asset ecosystem—from learning to investing.
2019: Starting with H5 Platform, Ushering in the Mobile Trading Era
VicBit’s first milestone came on September 9, 2019, with the launch of its H5 trading platform, followed by the release of its mobile app in October. This positioned VicBit as one of the earliest platforms to adopt a “mobile-first” core strategy.
These platforms empowered users worldwide to access digital asset markets anytime, anywhere, significantly lowering trading barriers and laying a solid foundation for future user growth.
A Global and Compliance-Driven Strategic Beginning
Unlike many early exchanges that embraced a “grassroots” or “geek” culture, VicBit has prioritized an international and compliance-driven strategy from day one:
Registered in the United States, advancing MSB (Money Services Business) compliance registration.
Collaborating with compliance advisors in multiple jurisdictions to establish a multi-license application framework.
Implementing a Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) certification system.
Integrating with major banking systems via API to support global fiat deposits and withdrawals.
This “compliance from the start” approach has quickly earned VicBit the trust of institutional investors and high-net-worth clients.
Powered by Technology: Delivering an Exceptional User Experience
Since its inception, VicBit has invested heavily in R&D, assembling a core technology team composed of distributed system architects, AI risk control engineers, and front-end experience designers:
High-performance matching system: Capable of processing millions of orders per second.
AI-powered risk control engine: 24/7 monitoring of abnormal behaviors and potential attacks.
Multi-tier cold/hot wallet management system: Ensures asset segregation, storage, and scheduling efficiency.
Dual-factor authentication and on-chain transparent traceability: Creating a trusted trading environment.
From 2019 to Today: A Mission That Burns Bright
Today, VicBit has grown into a comprehensive global digital asset platform, covering spot trading, futures, fiat, ICOs, staking, educational content, fund custody, and more.
Since its establishment in 2019, VicBit has remained true to its mission—making digital asset trading simpler, safer, and more trustworthy. In an increasingly complex global financial landscape, VicBit is not just a technology platform, but also a messenger of values: believing in financial freedom, the benevolence of technology, and inclusive investment.
2019 was just the beginning for VicBit, and a new starting point for reshaping the global crypto trading landscape.
