Bitqik

Bitqik is the first licensed cryptocurrency exchange in Laos, founded in 2022, backed by local commercial bank JDB and part of the SMG group. It offers spot trading, fiat on and off ramps and a custody wallet, letting users deposit kip and US dollars from a local bank account and convert into major digital assets.

On risk control, about 99% of user assets sit in cold wallets with only day-to-day withdrawal needs held hot; segregation is reinforced by address whitelists and multi-signature approval on outflows, and a user insurance fund covers losses from security incidents. The product line reaches beyond the exchange into blockchain consulting, public courses, a market research desk and a self-custody wallet, forming a funnel from education to trading. It lists around 30 assets, exposes three order-entry interfaces, and serves both domestic and cross-border clients.
