BTSE, an acronym for Buy, Trade, Sell, and Earn, operates as a comprehensive financial technology firm established in 2018. The company was founded by Jonathan Leong and Brian Wong, who brought extensive experience from the technology and finance sectors. Leong, a programmer since age 15, has a background in building high-performance, mission-critical systems and venture building. The company is now led by CEO Henry Liu, who has been in the blockchain industry since 2016, and COO Jeff Mei.
The firm's business is structured around three main pillars: a crypto exchange, a payments platform, and infrastructure development. The BTSE exchange serves both retail and institutional clients with a suite of services including spot trading for over 250 cryptocurrencies, derivatives trading with up to 100x leverage on perpetual futures, and an NFT marketplace. A key feature is the all-in-one order book, which pools liquidity across all trading pairs to offer tighter spreads and more efficient pricing. The company generates revenue through multiple streams, including trading fees, over-the-counter (OTC) services, and lending. The platform's fee structure is competitive, with mechanisms for reduction based on trading volume or by holding the native BTSE token.
BTSE's payments business facilitates transactions in over 15 fiat currencies, bridging the gap between traditional finance and digital assets through fiat on- and off-ramps and OTC services. The company also offers enterprise solutions, providing its exchange technology and infrastructure as a white-label service. This enables other businesses to launch their own crypto platforms, leveraging BTSE's wallet services, payment gateways, and liquidity. The platform also provides a BTSE Card, in partnership with Visa and Mastercard, allowing users to spend their crypto holdings in the real world. For passive income generation, BTSE Earn offers lending and staking products.
