Cryptocurrencies are stealing all the headlines these days, performing extremely well in 2017 and attracting more investors in 2018. At the moment, there are over 4500 crypto-coins going around, each designed to serve a specific purpose and to contribute to the financial and economic growth worldwide.

Outcomes of Blockchain technology

Even if the crypto market has gained in popularity since 2013, the first digital coin to be invented was Bitcoin in 2009, being the first decentralized crypto, that paved the way for the revolutionary blockchain technology.

“The size of Blockchain technology market is projected to grow to over 2 billion U.S.dollars by 2021.”

Consequently, along with blockchain innovations, virtual trading has increased drastically as people are switching from fiat-based financial system to a blockchain-based one. Furthermore, crypto trading volume surpassed stock trading volume by August 2017.

Taking advantage of the many benefits blockchain has introduced, Cobinhood, the first zero trading fee exchange platform, has upgraded to handle modern demands in the market. In fact, its creator, Popo Chen, pointed out that before launching this platform, he looked into the real issues affecting the current online exchange system.

Issues in the Cryptocurrency Market

Like any novel movement, digital currencies have their inconveniences, aspects that should not be neglected by investors or users. The most frequent are:

Inefficient Real-Time trading – A cryptocurrency exchange is a marketplace for buying, selling, or shorting digital assets. To trade, the exchange uses a sophisticated trade matching software, which links the buyer and seller, and facilitates the trade between them. Unfortunately, since the immense growth of digital coins, issues such as delayed orders or limiting trading APIs arose. Asset Security Problems – Many trading platforms have been the target of hackers. For instance, Bitfinex was hacked recently, and it lost 120k Bitcoin, which today are valued at more than $1bil. Unexpected Shutdown – Although it is a common aspect of trading platforms, it can have serious effects on coins, leading to other worrying results. A popular trading platform like Coinbase, had three shutdowns in one day resulting in a decrease in value for bitcoin. Limited FIAT currencies supported – Since there is a great range of different crypto-coins, many websites support only one fiat currency, whilst others do not provide fiat deposit or withdrawal at all. Slow Customer Service – customer services are slow, especially when there could be thousands of users that demand identity verification at once. In some situations, there is no one to even respond to inquiries.

How Cobinhood Solves These Problems

Cobinhood’s features were specifically designed to overcome pressing obstacles that stand in the way of traders and investors worldwide. The main ones are:
