Overview
B2BX is an Estonia-licensed crypto exchange and liquidity aggregator launched in January 2018. It offers both crypto-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat trading, bridges institutional-grade liquidity with broker networks, and emphasizes compliance and API-driven architecture - but lacks transparent hard data on volume and fund reserves.
Institutional roots
B2BX is part of a broader B2Broker ecosystem. It started as a platform for brokerages and institutional clients to plug into crypto-liquidity via a single gateway. Behind it lies a clear mission: serve hedge funds, FX brokers, DMA desks and exchanges with aggregated access - rather than chase retail users. That vision shaped everything from licensing to backend tech.
Data blackout
CoinMarketCap lists B2BX as untracked - volume and reserve figures aren’t available. That leaves a puzzle - no real measure of how active the exchange is today. That opacity is a sharp contrast with more transparent platforms.
Compliance and fiat rails
The exchange carries a financial services license from Estonia’s FIU. It supports fiat flows via wire transfers (SEPA, SWIFT, Faster Payments) and bank cards. Standard security - 2FA, KYC, fund protection frameworks - is in place. The focus is on institutional credibility, not flashy consumer features.
Functionality and design
B2BX offers REST and WebSocket APIs, live order books, grouping, market depth tools, watchlists and a customizable trading workspace. It delivers something of a professional terminal, aimed at broker desks - not entry-level users. A mobile app exists, largely for monitoring charts and wallet activity, not for full trading.
Token and fee mechanics
The exchange uses its own token - B2BX - and offers fee discounts when you use it. The maker-taker model applies, with fees dropping to competitive levels for volume or token holders. The token also tied into a broader ICO/utility strategy from its early years.
Security and trust signals
Reviews are thin. No user volume data, no transparent reserves, and little independent coverage. Some sources call it fully regulated and safe, noting that 98% of crypto is stored cold and fiat resides in regulated banks. Others point out the lack of independent audits or proof-of-reserve. Trust rests on licenses and institutional claims rather than public visibility.

Final word
B2BX is an infrastructure-first platform, built around brokering liquidity to professional parties. It’s layered with compliance and tech features that align with institutional expectations.
But the missing visibility is a real downside. Without volume data or reserves transparency, users outside the broker network will hesitate to trust it. In its niche, B2BX feels purpose-built. But for wider audiences, it remains a black box.
