Good to know

  • Market orders are executed subject to available liquidity and prevailing market conditions. Onramp and BitGo do not guarantee a specific execution price.

  • Purchased bitcoin is held in your BitGo-custodied Trade Wallet, which is separate from your Multi-Institution Custody (MIC) vault. If you have a MIC vault, you can choose to settle your purchase there. See How do I choose where my trade settles? for how it works.
