What is CoinEx?
CoinEx is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange where you can trade crypto on spot, margin and futures markets. It also lets you buy crypto with fiat or through P2P, and offers Earn products and CoinEx Pay.
Trading fees depend on VIP levels. You can qualify for a level on any one of four criteria: CET token balance, total asset value, 30-day spot volume or 30-day futures volume. VIP levels update every day. A separate Market Maker program sets discounts by trading volume and updates monthly. Turn on "Use CET as Fees" and your trading fees are paid in CET, the exchange's own token.
CoinEx fits active traders, high-volume market makers and developers who connect through the public API. The exchange also runs broker, referral, ambassador and creator programs, takes token listing applications and publishes Proof of Reserve.
