Bullish leverages innovations of decentralized finance (DeFi) within a regulated framework so you can execute fast, reliable crypto trades with near-zero spreads, even in volatile markets.
A unique source of deep liquidity.
The Bullish Order Book combines the high performance of a central limit order book (CLOB) with deep, deterministic liquidity from our automated market maker (AMM). This combined source of liquidity creates a more reliable order book for digital assets.
1/2
Central limit order book.
Consistent with other centralized exchanges across TradFi and digital assets, the Bullish Order Book allows customers to place conventional order types, such as market orders and limit orders.
1/2
Automated market maker.
Bullish’s proprietary AMM generates thousands of bids and offers using liquidity exclusively available on our platform. These bids and offers create greater depth across variable market conditions, making Bullish more reliable and efficient than other exchanges—centralized or decentralized.
SPOT TRADING
Best-in-class order matching engine.
Matching on a price (per tick) and time priority.
Fully automated execution—no manual intervention.
Designed to minimize slippage with near-zero spreads.
No maker fees and 2 bps taker fees.*
*Fiat related swap markets incur zero fees; 1 bps taker fees for BTC, ETH, XRP and SOL base pairs.
Margin trading
Capital-efficient margin, on demand.
As a trader, enable margin on any trading account to:
Auto-borrow (“borrow-to-trade”) when needed.
Auto-repay to minimize funding costs.
Utilize cross-asset collateralization, including digital assets locked in limit orders.
Bullish has safeguards in place if liquidation risk gets too high:
Active increases in leverage are restricted beyond a predetermined level.
If leverage continues to increase due to external factors, the use of smart partial liquidation from 6x will help manage risk, aiming to prevent full liquidation.
Important note: Margin trading is high risk and only available to eligible professional investors in select locations. Margin trading is not available in Hong Kong or to Hong Kong users.

Multiple trading accounts can be set up under one institutional entity, each with separate users, balances, positions and permissions. When paired with margin trading and perpetual futures, trading accounts effectively manage risk by allowing traders to segregate funds across multiple trading strategies or digital assets.
