The exchange can be used by institutional investors, commercial businesses, and retail investors to trade bitcoin with U.S. dollars, Singapore dollars and euros worldwide.[2] The exchange relies on top tier finance and security technology, employing NASDAQ exchange technology, Thomson Reuters for screening and continuous suspicious activity monitoring, and Jumio for identity verification.[3]
itBit’s leadership includes Charles Cascarilla as CEO and Andrew Chang as COO. The company is headquartered in New York City with an international office in Singapore.[4] itBit is backed by Canaan Partners, RRE Ventures, Liberty City Ventures, and notable angel investors Jay W. Jordan II and Ben Davenport.[2] itBit has received more than US$5 million in venture capital.[5]
In February 2014, itBit was unaffected by a denial-of-service attack that caused several other prominent Bitcoin exchanges to suspend withdrawals for several days[6][7]
