Learn about how you can create, link and use your hopper account with Bittrex

In this tutorial, we are going to explain how you can transfer Bitcoin to your Bittrex account and how to set up your hopper.

Go to Bittrex.com

Click "Login" in the top right corner.

Creating an account

Click "sign up" under the login button. Fill in the required details.

Please, make sure to use a reliable password. This account is where you'll store your funds, so it's very important to ensure security.
