Recently, in a recent interview with Forbes, BitMart founder and CEO Sheldon Xia shared the company’s seven-year development history, its grand blueprint for the next decade, and how BitMart plans to continue to play an important role in the global crypto industry.
From startup to global platform: seven-year milestone
BitMart started with a bold idea seven years ago. Today, it has grown into a global platform with over 10 million users, an annual trading volume of $3 trillion, and an expanding presence in over 200 countries and regions.
Looking back on this journey, Sheldon said: “Seven years is indeed a long time in the crypto industry, and I am extremely proud of our achievements. Since 2017, BitMart has grown from a bold idea to a top platform serving more than 10 million users worldwide.”
The companys growth has always been based on one core value: user-centricity. BitMart offers over 1,700 trading pairs, covering multiple ecosystems such as spot, futures, earn, pledge, and Launchpad, providing a tailored experience for both beginners and professional traders.
A global vision driven by innovation
Looking ahead, BitMart isn’t just optimizing its existing services — it’s expanding with a clear goal. Sheldon said the company’s long-term goals are clear: “BitMart’s goal is to become the gateway to Web3, connecting today’s crypto economy with tomorrow’s decentralized future.”
This vision includes accelerating growth in key markets. BitMart is rapidly expanding its presence in the European market, while also seeing MENA (Middle East and North Africa) and LATAM (Latin America) as high-potential markets where cryptocurrency acceptance is growing rapidly.
On the product side, Sheldon said BitMart is investing in performance and intelligence. The company’s newly released third-generation trading system reduces order processing time from 20 milliseconds to just 2 milliseconds, and is capable of processing 80,000 orders per second – a new standard that sets a new benchmark for speed and stability in the industry.
2025 will be a key year for BitMart’s AI product releases. The company is preparing to launch more features, including smart analysis, automated trading robots, and personalized interfaces - tools that will make cryptocurrency smarter and more accessible to all users. Launchpad and Earn products will also be upgraded to launch more innovative projects and higher-yield opportunities for users to choose from.
Security and trust in turbulent markets
As security threats in the industry increase, BitMart always puts stability and user protection first. Its multi-layered security architecture includes a hybrid hot wallet and cold wallet system, a multi-signature protocol, and advanced protection layers such as WAF, XDR, and CWPP.
Sheldon emphasized: “At BitMart, security is not an afterthought, but the foundation of everything we do.”
BitMart also undergoes regular audits, partners with leading security firms, and provides users with institutional-grade custody, two-factor authentication (2FA), and anti-phishing protection.
Although market volatility may continue, BitMart is prepared for these cycles. As Sheldon said, the resilience of the crypto industry will always emerge, and BitMart will continue to lead the way and turn uncertainty into opportunities for users around the world.
