Demystifying cryptocurrencies for the modern investor

Investing in cryptocurrency with peace of mind 

BUX Zero works with acclaimed security platform Fireblocks to ensure that BUX Zero client investments are well-protected using cryptographic technology, specifically multi-party computation (MPC). This is in addition to a strict security policy. All communications with BUX Zero are encrypted all the way down to BUX servers, with the encryption of at least TLS version 1.2, as required by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards. Additionally, BUX closely monitors all traffic patterns to keep out potential malicious parties. Funds will be monitored in real time, keeping most funds in cold storage.

Fees

At the release of cryptocurrencies on BUX Zero the buying and selling of crypto assets will be zero commission. 

BUX acquired European social cryptocurrency investment platform, Blockport in January of 2020 and launched BUX Crypto shortly after in April of 2020.
