NovaDAX review
NovaDAX trades cheaply and charges to let you leave. Both halves of that need saying together, because the first is what gets advertised.
Trading is tiered from 0.015 percent to 0.7 percent by volume, the same shape as Mercado Bitcoin, and it is genuinely competitive. Real withdrawals cost 1.29 percent of the amount. Mercado Bitcoin and Foxbit both charge nothing for the same thing. On a 5,000 real withdrawal that is roughly 65 reais to move your own money back to your own bank, which will exceed what the trading fee cost you.
That single number decides who this platform suits. If you are accumulating and withdrawing bitcoin to self-custody rather than cashing out to reais, the withdrawal fee never touches you and the trading tier is good. If you expect to move money in and out in reais, one of the free platforms will cost you less overall.
NovaDAX has run since 2018 and funds accounts through Pix like everyone else here. The central bank's virtual asset regime took effect in February 2026, with an authorisation deadline of 29 October 2026 for every platform serving Brazilian clients, so its standing is worth rechecking after that date.

Pros and cons
What works
- Trading fees tier down to 0.015 percent, matching the cheapest published Brazilian rates
- Pix funding and a modern interface, with a wide list of assets beyond bitcoin
- The withdrawal fee never applies if you take your bitcoin to self-custody rather than cashing out in reais
What to watch
- Charges 1.29 percent to withdraw reais, where Mercado Bitcoin and Foxbit charge nothing at all
- That exit cost can exceed everything you saved on trading, which makes the cheap tier misleading on its own
- Younger and smaller than the Brazilian platforms ranked above it

BrazilFrequently asked questions
What is the catch with NovaDAX?
The withdrawal fee. Trading is priced competitively, from 0.015 percent at volume, but taking reais back out costs 1.29 percent of the amount. Mercado Bitcoin and Foxbit charge nothing for the same withdrawal.
Does the withdrawal fee always apply?
Only to reais. If you buy bitcoin and withdraw it to a wallet you control, which is what you should be doing anyway, the 1.29 percent never touches you and the trading tier stands on its own.
Is NovaDAX a Brazilian company?
Yes, operating from Sao Paulo since 2018 with real trading over Pix. Like every platform serving Brazilian clients, it must apply for central bank authorisation by 29 October 2026 under the regime that took effect in February 2026.
