If you’ve been thinking of purchasing digital assets with U.S. dollars, Bittrex offers many users a number of options to deposit fiat currency (USD) onto the exchange. These options include wire transfers, debit cards, and bank transfers (ACH).
Below we’ve put together some step-by-step instructions on how to trade, deposit, and withdraw US Dollars (fiat) on Bittrex.
Step 1: Have you verified your identity with us?
To participate in USD markets your identity must be verified. You can do this by uploading your government-issued ID and selfie into your Bittrex account.

Step 2: Are you in an eligible location?
- International customers located outside the United States are eligible.
- United States customers located in specific states are eligible for US dollar markets.
- Check here for the list of states that are eligible. If you’re not eligible now, check back because we expect to add more states over time.
Step 3: Is your account already enabled for USD trading?
Millions of Bittrex customers are already enabled for USD trading without realizing it. Identity verified accounts located in an eligible location and created before October 1, 2018 should already be enabled for USD trading only.
To check whether your account is enabled for USD trading:
- Log in to your Bittrex account
- Click on Holdings from the upper right corner
- Search for “US Dollar” to find your USD wallet
- You are enabled for USD trading if your US Dollar wallet deposit and withdraw buttons show like this:

-
- If you are not enabled for USD trading yet but have verified your identity with us and live in an eligible location, please fill out this form: Fiat (USD) Trading Request
Step 4: Add your bank account to enable USD deposits and withdrawals
After you’ve completed steps 1-3 you are now enabled for USD trading. You can trade cryptocurrency for USD, but you cannot withdraw or deposit USD until you add a bank account.
To add a bank account:
- Click the Deposit button next to the US Dollar wallet:
- You will be presented with this screen:
- Click on “contact support” and follow the directions to fill out the Fiat (USD) Trading Request form
- Once you submit the form, approval turnaround time is usually within days
- Your approval response from Bittrex will contain your USD wire transfer instructions
Now that you’ve been enabled for USD trading, deposits and withdrawals and set up your bank account information, you can transfer USD to Bittrex. Currently we accept wire transfers. If you lose the email with your wire transfer instructions, you can always access the wire instructions after approval by logging in to https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us and clicking on My Activities to view your support ticket.
Wire transfers are the fastest way to deposit USD currently, but stay tuned for additional updates in the future.
Note: For personal accounts, if you decide to deposit USD, it is a $50 minimum per wire transfer. USD withdrawal minimum is $10.
