Celebrating its eighth anniversary, global crypto exchange CoinW is launching a unified trading platform and reinforcing its “Slow and Steady” strategy, which has prioritized security and community to grow to over 15 million users.
Eight years can feel like an eternity in an industry where platforms often rise and fall with market cycles. The crypto landscape is littered with the ghosts of exchanges that chased short-term hype, only to buckle under regulatory pressure or market volatility.
The situation has left many users searching for something more durable — a platform built not for the next bull run, but for the next decade. This is the philosophy that has guided CoinW, a global cryptocurrency exchange that is celebrating its eighth anniversary in 2025.
By prioritizing a “Slow and Steady” approach focused on trust, security and community, CoinW has navigated a complex market to become a robust global platform serving over 15 million users.
A marathon, not a sprint
The mid-2025 market mixes macro uncertainty with steady institutional interest, pushing exchanges to show transparency, resiliency and reach. More regulated and open platforms gain an advantage by safeguarding assets and communicating clearly in volatile conditions.
Against that context, CoinW has grown from a 2017 startup to a global venue serving over 15 million users across more than 200 countries and regions, with average daily volume above $5 billion.

To celebrate its eighth year, CoinW is launching a comprehensive upgrade that marks what the team calls a new “Future of Trading” era, anchored by a unified account and strategy engine that ties together centralized and decentralized trading, public-chain infrastructure and proprietary trading.
The upgrade aims to set the foundation for modular features that can adapt to different user needs while keeping balances and activity under one roof.
A founder’s vision for the future
To mark the anniversary, CoinW’s founder, Gary, released his first-ever public letter, outlining the vision that has guided the exchange since its inception. “Eight years ago, a group of young tech enthusiasts believed blockchain had the power to change the world,” he writes.
“We chose a tough but steady path — putting trust and security first.” Despite industry turbulence, CoinW believes trust can’t be rushed. The platform exists to make sure every user can step into the crypto world and into the future with confidence.
This long-term approach has earned the exchange global recognition, including awards such as “Most Trustworthy Cryptocurrency Exchange in Asia” and a “Financial Innovation Award” at the BlockNews Summit.
Safety, sports and a million-strong community
CoinW’s growth has been driven by a blend of safety, local presence, wealth management and product breadth. A wide menu — from spot and contracts to decentralized finance (DeFi) and copy trading — broadens appeal.
This resilience is rooted in a long-term vision that values sustainable growth over fleeting trends. “Operating in a regulated environment means greater responsibility. We aim to set the standard in user asset protection and establish a benchmark for trust and security,” says Nassar Ackchar, CoinW’s chief strategy officer.
Engagement follows the same philosophy: ambassador programs, reward campaigns and user-generated content keep participation high, alongside partnerships and sports sponsorships such as LALIGA and the EAFF E-1 Football Championship. These collaborations extend into culture and innovation, with partnerships including Superteam Founders’ Villa and GQ Taiwan STYLE FEST.
Community leadership echoes the culture: “Community-first isn’t a slogan — it’s a mindset,” notes CoinW’s director of strategic partnerships Monika, citing daily feedback loops, local ambassadors and grassroots events as the engine of loyalty. The result is an active base with over 800,000 monthly traders and a community exceeding one million members.
The roadmap for the future of trading
The roadmap extends the upgrade into a broader ecosystem. On the decentralized side, DeriW targets zero-gas perpetuals and transparent onchain matching at high throughput — infrastructure aimed at making advanced trading feel simple.
For professionals, PropW offers a structured path to scale, including access to platform capital and profit-sharing for top performers, all connected to the CoinW environment. Regionally, the company continues localized programs across Asia and Latin America, pairing education with sponsorships and meetups.

Rounding out the ecosystem is GemW, a user-friendly onchain trading platform designed to make decentralized trading more accessible. It removes common friction points by not requiring wallet setup or gas fees, while providing institutional-grade custody, MEV protection and tools for smarter trading like Smart Money tracking and one-click copy trading.
Beyond specific products, the focus is on durable growth: expanding developer and community initiatives, investing in DeFi, artificial intelligence-driven analytics and tokenized products, and reinforcing Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and best practices to maintain trust.
If the next cycle rewards platforms that compress complexity without cutting corners, CoinW’s unified architecture and community-centric playbook position it to help more users trade, learn and participate — with fewer tabs and more confidence.
As the founder’s letter states, “Eight years is just the warm-up.” With CoinW marking its eighth anniversary, its “Trot on to Infinity” theme underscores a core belief in collective progress. The new unified platform serves as the starting block for the next leg of a marathon that has no finish line — a collective journey that advances the entire industry.
