Bitex's Twitter Score is 6.7 out of 1000 as of August 2026, ranking #127,584 among 483,944 tracked accounts.

Bitex was founded in 2014 by Francisco Buero, Eduardo del Pino, Tomas Rojas, Cristian "Nubis" Bruno, and Manuel Beaudroit, building a regional exchange and cross-border payments infrastructure across four Latin American markets. The platform previously worked with Banco Masventas and Bantotal as part of its financial services operations. Huobi Global announced its acquisition of Bitex on May 26, 2022, with transaction terms kept confidential.
