From spot exchange to global ecosystem

Founded in 2017, CoinW has grown into one of the world’s largest crypto trading platforms. According to CoinGecko, it ranks among the top four global derivatives exchanges, with cumulative trading volumes in the trillions over its eight-year history. The company said its growth has been driven by a security-first approach and steady product expansion.

CoinW’s ecosystem now includes GemW, which offers wallet-free, gas-free on-chain access with copy trading and institutional-grade protections; DeriW, a Layer-3 decentralized perpetuals exchange capable of processing up to 80,000 transactions per second; and PropW, a professional track for qualified traders providing access to capital and profit-sharing of up to 90%.

This year, the exchange also introduced its Futures Protection Program, described as an industry-first safeguard to help users navigate volatility with greater transparency and control.

In response to questions from Finbold, Nassar Achkar, Chief Strategy Officer at CoinW, said trader feedback has been “overwhelmingly positive,” noting that users see it as an essential risk management tool during volatile market conditions. 

“Recent enhancements— including stable daily earnings, accelerated quota growth, and one-click enrolment—have significantly improved both accessibility and effectiveness,” he added. “Traders value the program’s transparency and ease of use, particularly the instant post-liquidation payouts that require no customer service assistance. Moving forward, we aim to position this program as a sustainable, industry-standard solution that strengthens trader protection and supports a safer, more mature crypto derivatives market.”

Building community and trust

Alongside its product expansion, CoinW has increased its visibility through partnerships and community initiatives. The company became a regional partner of Spain’s LALIGA and renewed its sponsorship of the EAFF E-1 Football Championship in East Asia. It was also named the “Most Trustworthy Cryptocurrency Exchange in Asia” at the 7th Hit AI & Blockchain Summit.

“Eight years is not an end, but a new beginning,” said CoinW founder Gary in a letter to users. “‘Trot On To Infinity’ is more than an anniversary slogan, but a promise to users that no matter how markets shift, we will stride toward a longer future together.”

To mark the milestone, CoinW is launching a series of online campaigns and offline meetups, including a Global 8-City Marathon. The company said the events are intended to embody the “Trot On To Infinity” theme and strengthen ties with its worldwide user base.

Looking ahead

CoinW said its priorities for the next stage include enhancing security, advancing compliance, and scaling its user-centric ecosystem. With its recent architecture upgrade, the exchange aims to lower entry barriers for newcomers while providing professionals with more advanced tools, reflecting its vision to serve as a trusted gateway to the future of finance.

Asked by Finbold about its biggest priorities for remaining competitive among top global exchanges, Achkar pointed to a long-term focus on resilience and security. 

“The biggest priorities to stay competitive among the top global exchanges are driven by trust and a steadfast commitment to security. At CoinW, we’re moving with purpose, focusing on building a resilient platform for the long term rather than chasing short-term gains,” he said. “Our recent full-stack upgrade is a critical part of this strategy. It enhances system efficiency, strengthens multi-layer security, and creates a seamless, integrated user experience. This investment not only supports our current product ecosystem but also lays a solid foundation for future innovation and sustainable growth. It ensures we remain a trusted and reliable choice for users worldwide.”
