Elbaite exists to shape the future of crypto - one built on ownership, transparency and freedom. We believe everyone should have complete control over their assets from the moment they buy.
By making self-custody trading simple, direct and more accessible, we are building a more open financial world.


Elbaite isn’t a typical exchange - it’s built to give you crypto that’s yours from the start. Every purchase goes direct to your wallet, eliminating custodians, withdrawal limits, and unnecessary risk.
Our purpose is to make self-custody effortless and transparent - proving that true ownership can be simple, secure, and built for everyone.
Buy crypto that goes straight to your wallet. Elbaite never holds your assets, giving you true ownership and control from the moment you buy.
Every transaction is clear and verifiable. What you see is what you get, with no hidden fees or custodial risks.
Safely fund your Elbaite account with USD from your bank account. Once funded you can explore the marketplace.
Use USD to fund any wallet and step directly into the world of Web3. Elbaite lets you support your favorite platforms, dApps, and tokens while keeping custody of your crypto.
