Over the years the UK has been an important market for LocalBitcoins, especially back in 2012 when we were founded . The UK helped solidify the future of LocalBitcoins by being the first market to see growth in P2P trading which gave us enough mone y to hire our first employee.



This year we've had to watch as our friends in the UK suffer through hard times after the results of the Brexit vote on June 23rd. S ince then we've seen value of th e pound gradually drop in value by 16% .



W e remember the support you gave us in our early days , now it's time for us to give back and help you get out of the pound before it's too lat e.



From this Monday, the 5th of September, we will halve the LocalBitcoins trading fee from the current 1 % to 0.5 % for all Bitcoin trades done in the UK*.

The reduced fee will be active for trades started between Monday the 5th of September at 12:00:01 AM UTC and 11:59:59 pm UTC October 2nd.
