Ourbit Review: Are Its Fees and Markets Worth It?

Ourbit is a centralized exchange with spot and futures trading, alongside a TradFi section for markets such as tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities and forex. It also lists an Earn product. That breadth could be convenient if you want to manage several types of exposure from one account, but it also means you should check what a product represents before trading it: tokenized markets are not the same as owning the underlying asset directly.

Ourbit advertises more than 800 crypto assets and over 90 global markets, and says trading is available around the clock. Those are the exchange’s own figures, not a guarantee that every market is available in every location. Its homepage also promotes yields of up to 11% through Earn. Treat that as a maximum advertised rate, not a promised return; the product terms, risks and conditions matter before you commit funds.

Ourbit advertises zero-fee spot trading and futures fees starting at 0.01%. “Starting at” is not a complete fee schedule: your rate may vary by product or account tier, and the headline does not tell you what you will pay in every situation. The exchange does not publish deposit, withdrawal or conversion charges alongside these headline figures, so check the charges shown in your account before moving funds.

A zero trading fee also does not mean every trade is cost-free. The difference between buy and sell prices, or slippage when a market is moving, can affect your result. Futures add leverage and liquidation risk on top of trading costs. If you are comparing Ourbit with another exchange, check the actual rate shown for your account and the costs of funding and withdrawing, rather than comparing only the advertised spot fee.

Ourbit says it offers regular 1:1 proof of reserves and that users can verify platform holdings. It also promotes a Hacken audit and a partnership with SlowMist. These are relevant security claims, but they do not by themselves establish how customer assets are held, whether all liabilities are included, or what happens if the exchange cannot process withdrawals. Ourbit does not publish the scope, date or report for its advertised audit alongside the claim.

The exchange’s licensing status is also not published in the details presented here. That makes it harder to assess what regulator, if any, oversees the service and what protections may apply to you. As with any centralized exchange, assets held in your account are subject to the platform’s custody and operational risks. Avoid keeping more on the exchange than you need to trade, and test the withdrawal process with a modest amount before relying on it for larger transfers.

Ourbit presents itself as an all-in-one trading app and promotes a mobile app. The exchange advertises crypto deposits and withdrawals across Bitcoin, Solana, BNB Chain, Ethereum, TRON, Arbitrum, Avalanche and Optimism. Network availability can differ by asset, so confirm the exact deposit network shown for each coin before sending it. Sending assets on an unsupported network can result in a loss.

The exchange does not publish a clear explanation here of its identity-check triggers, withdrawal limits or processing times. Confirm what applies to your account before depositing, especially if you need to withdraw by a deadline. Ourbit also promotes one account for its crypto and global markets, but the available instruments and features may vary by jurisdiction. Check access to the specific product you want before funding the account.

Ourbit’s wide product menu and low advertised spot fees come with important gaps: licensing, full fee schedules, withdrawal limits and processing times are not clearly published in the details presented here. Its Earn page promotes yields of up to 11%, but the advertised maximum is not enough to judge the product’s risk or whether the rate applies to your balance. Read the terms for lockups, redemption, eligible assets and loss risks before committing funds.

The reserve and audit claims also need context. A 1:1 proof-of-reserves statement is not the same as a full independent assessment of assets and liabilities, and an audit claim is difficult to evaluate without the report and scope. If you prioritize regulatory clarity, a detailed fee schedule or self-custody, compare other options before signing up. Keep leverage low if you use futures, and do not treat tokenized traditional markets as equivalent to holding stocks or other underlying assets.
