8 Years of CoinEx Voyages: From Exploration to Expansion, Toward Excellence

CoinEx Marks Eight Years of Growth and Development

HONG KONG, Dec. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Celebrating eight years in the dynamic cryptocurrency sector is a significant milestone for CoinEx. Reflecting on this journey highlights not just a passage of time, but a narrative showcasing resilience, dedication, and a strong commitment to its user base. From its inception to weathering various challenges and extending its reach, CoinEx has consistently adhered to three guiding principles: prioritizing user satisfaction, ensuring transparency, and pursuing sustainable growth. With these foundational values, CoinEx continues to move forward, serving users around the globe.

2017 — The Launch: A Commitment to Users

CoinEx embarked on its journey with a clear pledge: to prioritize users above all else. In an industry rife with uncertainties, CoinEx focused on creating a reliable and straightforward platform that allows users to trade with confidence and safety.

2018–2020 — Navigating Challenges

Between 2018 and 2019, the crypto market experienced a downturn, often referred to as the “crypto winter,” but CoinEx remained undeterred. During this challenging period, the platform proactively introduced several new products, including the platform’s native token, CET, and the CoinEx Wallet. Despite the hurdles, CoinEx continued to explore new opportunities. In 2020, with a vision of fostering a global community and enhancing its presence, CoinEx initiated Global Ambassador Recruitment and became the official crypto exchange sponsor for the Rugby World Cup. Throughout these tough years, CoinEx was devoted to improving its ecosystem, establishing its influence, and preparing for the forthcoming market cycles.

2021–2022 — Sustainable Growth

The years 2021 and 2022 heralded a phase of steady growth for CoinEx. To uphold the value of its core platform token, CET, CoinEx executed its inaugural permanent CET Repurchase and Burn initiative in 2021. This long-term strategy was designed to diminish supply, stabilize the token’s value, and bolster confidence in the ecosystem’s sustainable development. In 2022, CoinEx introduced the Merkle Tree-based Proof of Reserves, positioning itself as one of the pioneers among centralized exchanges to publicly disclose its Proof of Reserve. By releasing data on a monthly basis, CoinEx set a new standard for transparency, enabling users to independently verify their assets. Additionally, CoinEx Charity was launched with a $10 million fund aimed at enhancing global welfare, under the mission “Via Blockchain, Making The World A Better Place.” The initiative focused on empowering underserved students and promoting efforts toward poverty alleviation, environmental sustainability, and digital inclusion. During this rapid expansion phase, CoinEx chose to prioritize stability and trustworthiness.

2023–2025 — Welcoming Over 10 Million Users

In 2023, CoinEx initiated its KOL Growth Program, supported by a multi-million-dollar fund aimed at assisting global content creators and broadening the platform’s international reach. By 2024, CoinEx proudly announced that its user base had exceeded 10 million, marking a significant achievement in its global expansion strategy. To cater to this growing community, CoinEx launched an extensive array of products designed for investors of all experience levels by 2025. These offerings included Strategic Trading, CoinEx Loans, CoinEx Staking, P2P Trading, CoinEx Pay, and OnChain services. CoinEx focused on optimizing its product lineup, enhancing risk management, and maintaining a secure, transparent, and user-friendly environment for traders, whether they are novices or seasoned professionals. CoinEx’s consistent efforts and dedication have garnered industry accolades; in 2024, it was honored with the title of “Best Cryptocurrency Exchange” by International Business Magazine, followed by the “Most Professional Crypto Exchange 2025” and “Best Crypto Exchange 2025” awards from World Business Outlook Awards.

The Future — A Collaborative Journey Ahead

Reaching the eighth anniversary is not merely a milestone; it signifies the start of a new chapter. As CoinEx continues to progress alongside its community of over 10 million users, exciting and promising opportunities lie ahead. In this forthcoming phase, CoinEx is committed to remaining firmly anchored in: User-Centric Focus — safeguarding users and prioritizing their needs, High Transparency — fostering clarity and trust, and Sustainable Growth — cultivating long-term value and organic development rather than chasing fleeting trends.
