BitMart's IEO Platform (Launchpad)

IEO stands for Initial Exchange Offering — essentially an exchange-hosted token launch where you can buy new projects early.

To participate:

IEO section in the main menu
Active and upcoming launches are listed with participation rules
Usually requires holding BMX (BitMart's native token) or USDT
Allocations are often limited — apply early

Risk note: New token launches carry high risk. Many IEO projects lose value post-launch. Only allocate amounts you are comfortable losing entirely.

BMX Token: Fee Discounts

BitMart's native token BMX reduces trading fees when held:

Holding BMX in your account qualifies for fee discounts
25% fee discount when paying fees with BMX

If you trade frequently on BitMart, holding some BMX is economical.

BitMart vs Binance: When to Use Which

Factor	BitMart	Binance
New/emerging tokens	✅ Excellent	Moderate
HKD P2P	Limited	✅ Excellent
Liquidity (major pairs)	Lower	✅ Higher
IEO launches	✅ Active	✅ Active
Interface	Good	✅ Better

Use BitMart for: Finding new tokens not yet on Binance, participating in IEOs, exploring emerging projects.

Troubleshooting BitMart Issues

KYC verification processing slowly: BitMart can take up to 5 business days for manual reviews. Contact support via in-app chat if waiting more than 3 days.

Deposit not showing after 30 minutes: Use the transaction hash from your sending exchange to check on blockchain explorers. If confirmed on-chain but not on BitMart, contact support with the hash.

Trading pair not found: Not all coins are available on all base pairs. Search BTC instead of USDT for some pairs.

Final Thoughts

BitMart fills a specific role in your exchange toolkit — primarily for accessing new and emerging tokens that have not yet arrived on larger platforms. Use it alongside Binance as your primary exchange. Register with code cfEJXx at bitmart.com/zh-TW/invite/cfEJXx.
