Today news has broken that the largest and most popular Polish crypto exchange BitBay has just launched its long-awaited PRO platform. There were announcements made over the previous months, hindered by legal and tax issues so typical of the crypto sphere. The date of this great premiere had to be postponed until today, 20 July 2018!
BitBay is the largest Polish cryptocurrency exchange, established in Katowice, headed from the very start by Sylwester Suszek – crypto enthusiast, advocate and promoter, member of the Polish Bitcoin Association, speaker at numerous crypto and blockchain-related conferences. BitBay’s objective has always been to create a safe and reliable platform for the quick exchange of cryptocurrencies. That has been the driving force behind the expansion of its offer and perfection of the platform.
In 2015, the second version of the platform was released, with improved procedures and solutions that made user experience even more enjoyable. Soon new cryptos such as Ethereum, Litecoin and Lisk could be traded. The team was composed of 31 people.
The year 2016 started with intensive work on version 3.0 of the platform and the team grew to 70 people. Obviously, the offer was extended, and new products introduced, such as Fiat to Fiat Exchange and Bitcoin Payments. Version 3.0 officially started off at the end of September 2017.
The team has never rested on its laurels and today we are happy to see the launch of BitBay’s improved PRO platform, armed with unique features that enable detailed analyses directly from the platform level. Gone are the days when a trader had to jump between different platforms or tools. BitBay’s state-of-the art platform offers various types of charts, several dozen indicators, multiple-window functionality and the drawing mode – all with you in mind.
For the sake of a reminder, with the current version of the platform, you can carry out transactions in 13 cryotocurrencies (Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, Lisk, Game, Dash, Bitcoin Gold, KzCash, Infinity Economics, Ripple, Golem and OmiseGo) in combination with PLN, USD, EUR and BTC.
What is BitBay PRO? How to get it started?
BitBay PRO (aka PRO Mode) is the trading mode of the Exchange that gives you access to a whole array of professional tools that make analysis of cryptocurrencies so much easier and enjoyable. It also features an intuitive layout, deposit and withdrawal functionality from wherever you are in the platform and enables layout adjustments according to your preferences.
To initiate the PRO Mode, you log into BitBay.net as you did before. On the left, there is a menu from which a subsection “PRO Mode” unfolds. Click that option and you will be transferred to BitBay’s trading version.
