Hotcoin at 8 Years: Unstoppable Momentum

Against the backdrop of an increasingly mature regulatory framework, accelerating institutional capital inflows, and continuous waves of innovation driven by emerging technologies, the crypto industry is entering a phase of deeper adoption and structural evolution.

At this pivotal moment of industry development, Hotcoin proudly marks the 8th anniversary of its brand.

Since its establishment in 2017, Hotcoin has remained firmly anchored to its core principles of security, stability, and professionalism, steadily advancing through the volatility and cycles of the crypto market. Eight years is no brief chapter for a trading platform.

From its early days as a gateway built on vision and ambition, to becoming a trusted digital asset hub for over 8.2 million registered users worldwide, Hotcoin’s eight years of solid growth stand as a clear testament to its technological capabilities, brand credibility, and sustained innovation.

Standing at this new milestone of its 8th anniversary, we are proud to announce that Hotcoin is entering a new phase of global expansion, with a more mature brand identity, a more comprehensive product ecosystem, and a more professional service framework than ever before.

I. Strength Proven by Data: Breakthroughs in User Scale, Global Reach, and Trading Volume

Data speaks louder than words. Hotcoin has delivered outstanding platform performance across key metrics:

• Over 7.8 million registered users, serving more than 183 countries and regions worldwide;

• Daily trading volume continues to rise, with peak daily turnover exceeding USD 20 billion, securing a strong position within the global crypto market;

• Support for hundreds of digital assets (including 600 spot tokens and 450 futures contracts) covering leveraged trading, Earn products, tokenized U.S. equity concepts via xStocks, and P2P fiat on-ramps, forming a truly one-stop digital asset ecosystem;

• A highly stable platform backed by a rigorous risk-control framework, global node deployment ensuring 24/7 seamless access, strict compliance standards, and a zero security incident record for eight consecutive years.

In 2025, as the industry entered a phase of structural adjustment and slower overall user growth, Hotcoin continued to advance its global expansion strategy, achieving steady gains in both user base and trading volume. Key highlights include:

• Over 1.02 million new registered users added during the year, representing a 13.7% year-on-year increase. More than half of these new users came from Southeast Asia and South America, underscoring Hotcoin’s strong traction in emerging markets;

• Total annual trading volume reached USD 5.56 trillion, comprising USD 690 billion in spot trading volume and USD 9.07 trillion in futures trading volume;

• Overall trading volume grew 14.9% year-on-year, ranking among the fastest growth rates across global exchanges.

From its first step in 2017 to today’s worldwide footprint, Hotcoin proves with facts that we are leading at the forefront.

II. Brand Renewal and Upgrade: From a “Functional Platform” to a “Trust-Driven Brand”

Over the past eight years, Hotcoin has remained committed to continuous refinement and self-evolution. Through ongoing upgrades and meticulous optimization, the platform strives to deliver a more stable, secure, and premium trading experience to users worldwide.

As our user base becomes increasingly global and diverse, we have come to a clear realization: only a credible, and internationally aligned brand identity can truly meet the rising expectations of global users.

Guided by this vision, Hotcoin initiated a comprehensive brand visual system upgrade this year. The new visual language is built around three core values: Trust, Security, and Globalization, further reinforcing Hotcoin’s positioning as a compliant trading platform trusted by users around the world. This transformation enables Hotcoin to scale meaningfully across 12 major languages and multiple regional markets, supporting genuine global expansion.

Every upgrade at Hotcoin is driven by a single purpose: To ensure that at every moment of interaction, users worldwide experience a more reliable, more professional, and more trustworthy crypto-financial platform.

The upward-moving logo conveys a clear message: amid the ever-evolving waves of the crypto world, Hotcoin will always stand alongside its users, serving as your most reliable digital asset partner.

III. Eight Years of Foundation, Building the Financial Infrastructure of the Future

Over the past eight years, Hotcoin has consistently upheld the values of human-centric design, diversity, and flexibility. Through continuous refinement, the platform has steadily strengthened its development path, advancing toward becoming a world-class crypto-financial brand.

Global Expansion × Localized Execution

Starting from Asia, Hotcoin has steadily expanded into Europe, the Americas, and global markets. With multi-language support, multiple fiat on-ramps, and cross-time-zone customer service, the platform delivers a truly borderless trading experience for users worldwide.

A Diversifying Product System for Every Trading Scenario

Hotcoin continues to expand into new domains, offering a comprehensive suite of products, from spot and futures trading to Earn products, Launchpad, and Web3 tools, providing end-to-end, one-stop trading and asset management solutions for users ranging from beginners to professional traders.

In the Web3 space, Hotcoin continues to refine its ecosystem by launching a Web3 wallet, decentralized tools, and cross-chain asset management capabilities, enabling users to explore a more open and flexible crypto world. Through large-scale thematic campaign pages that integrate platform resources, users can more clearly participate in events, access rewards, and experience a complete Hotcoin ecosystem loop.

With continuously evolving product capabilities and an expanding ecosystem, Hotcoin not only meets the diverse needs of global users but also steadily reinforces its core competitiveness and long-term growth foundation through richer functionality, higher efficiency, and stronger incentive mechanisms.

“Live Streaming + Education + Community”:

Hotcoin’s live-streaming ecosystem continues to expand across major languages including English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Russian, and Thai, ensuring truly global access where anyone can learn and benefit.

Covering market analysis, trading education, real-time strategies, expert interviews, and AMAs, Hotcoin empowers users at every stage to understand market trends. Through research institutions, weekly insights, in-depth reports, live classes, and strategy sharing, Hotcoin builds a knowledge moat for users—ensuring trading decisions are driven by logic and understanding rather than guesswork.

The synergy of live streaming, education, and community makes Hotcoin one of the few platforms in the industry capable of truly delivering a “knowledge-driven trading ecosystem.”

Compliance & Security: The Foundation of Global Trust

Amid market volatility and tightening regulations, Hotcoin has always placed compliance first. Through asset segregation, transparent risk controls, multi-regional licensing, and an eight-year zero-security-incident record, Hotcoin continuously reinforces user trust through action.

Since its founding, the platform has maintained a flawless security record, demonstrating exceptional system stability and protection. Key achievements include:

• Next-generation intelligent firewall upgrades: Over 1.3 million potential attacks blocked within six months, reaching industry-leading defense levels;

• AI-powered risk control deployment: Real-time modeling and risk assessment across platform trading behavior, reducing response time and improving overall risk-handling efficiency by over 30%.

Hotcoin’s risk control team comprises professionals with combined expertise in legal compliance and data security, covering all critical business processes to ensure every asset movement is traceable, auditable, and controllable, providing a solid foundation for secure platform operations.

Advancing a Global Compliance Framework

Hotcoin continues to strengthen its global compliance footprint. This year, the platform has officially obtained:

• AUSTRAC registration (Australia)

• MSB license (United States)

• VASP registration (Poland)

Meanwhile, Hotcoin is actively integrating with South Korea’s Travel Rule compliance system and has initiated licensing applications across the EU, Middle East, and other regions, ensuring smoother cross-border compliance for global users.

Risk Management & AML: A Long-Term Commitment

Safeguarding user assets and platform stability remains Hotcoin’s core responsibility. Through continuous enhancement of risk management and anti-money laundering (AML) systems, the platform conducts ongoing risk assessments and transaction reviews using behavioral data monitoring, dynamically adjusting strategies to mitigate emerging risks.

In AML innovation, Hotcoin is progressively introducing on-chain transaction tracking and address profiling technologies, strengthening its ability to detect and respond to abnormal fund flows. At the same time, KYC and KYT processes are being aligned with international standards, enabling full lifecycle management of high-risk accounts, fortifying the platform’s security and compliance defenses.

Looking Ahead: Early Positioning for the Next Web3 Era

As the next wave of the internet unfolds, Hotcoin continues to explore DeFi, AI, the metaverse, and RWA, accelerating the development of future-ready Web3 capabilities.

Eight years of reflection have brought clarity: The essence of an exchange is not merely matching trades, it is companionship.
