About the Company
BTCC traces its origins back to 2011 when Bobby Lee, Yang Linke, and Huang Xiaoyu launched it as a part-time project. The company was later incorporated in 2013 as BTC China, operating from Shanghai with a team of around 20 people.
In November 2013, BTCC became the world’s largest Bitcoin exchange by volume. The company also received a $5 million Series A investment that month from Lightspeed China Partners and Lightspeed Venture Partners.
Following the 2017 crypto regulatory crackdown in China, BTCC ended its domestic trading business and was acquired by a Hong Kong-based investment firm. Dan Liu took over as CEO in May 2025, overseeing a platform with 11 million registered users across over 100 countries.
Over the years, BTCC has earned multiple industry recognitions. These include being named Best Centralized Exchange (Community Choice) at the BeInCrypto 100 Awards 2025 and receiving the Most Secure Digital Asset Exchange award from Pan Finance.
The platform has been growing its mainstream presence with some fairly recognizable partnerships. BTCC became an official regional partner of the Argentine Football Association ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and also signed Jaren Jackson Jr., the 2023 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, as its global ambassador.
