New trading platform provides clients with a cost-efficient, segregated and insured venue to accumulate bitcoin—and a seamless path to long-term custody and financial services.

As bitcoin matures from niche asset into essential financial cornerstone, individuals and institutions require an integrated, trustworthy, and sophisticated partner across their entire bitcoin journey.

At Onramp, we’ve meticulously developed a full-suite bitcoin financial services ecosystem designed to seamlessly support you from initial accumulation through long-term stewardship, inheritance planning, and beyond.

Introducing Onramp Trade: The Industry’s Premier Bitcoin Trading Platform

We’re proud to announce the launch of Onramp Trade, our best-in-class trading platform and new introductory account tier. Key benefits include:

  • Industry-leading liquidity, ensuring optimal trade execution.
  • A fully segregated account held with a Qualified Custodian (our partners at BitGo), complete with insurance coverage.
  • Access to the Onramp Terminal—our research and education hub tailored for serious bitcoiners and new entrants alike.
  • Accommodative trading fees:
    • 0.75% for all Onramp Trade users.
    • Even lower fees—0.65%—for full Onramp MIC custody clients.
  • Seamless migration path into MIC custody when users are ready for advanced storage solutions.

Onramp Trade is a robust, bitcoin-only trading platform—and it's directly integrated with the broader Onramp ecosystem. No fragmentation. No compromises. Just a straightforward path from initial accumulation to securing long-term wealth.

How We Offer Industry-Leading Low Fees

Unlike traditional trading venues, Onramp’s comprehensive bitcoin financial services model, built around our pioneering Multi-Institution Custody (MIC) offering, allows us to sustainably deliver trading fees significantly below industry standards.

Because our primary revenue generation focuses on custody solutions and other complementary financial services, we’re able to pass substantial savings onto our clients through reduced trading costs.

Individuals who sign up for Onramp Trade through the end of June will receive:

  • Zero trading fees through September (0.75% thereafter)
  • 50% off the monthly account fee ($50/month) through September

Referral Rewards Program

We’re also offering a referral program for clients who refer their networks to Onramp Trade:

Whether it's a family member eager to get off zero, or a colleague asking where to begin—Onramp Trade is the most secure, cost-effective, and thoughtful place for them to start.
