History of Poloniex

Poloniex was opened 6 years ago in 2014 by the CEO Tristan D'Agosta. In 2018 Circle Internet Financial bought Poloniex company for around 400 million dollars planning to make Poloniex the biggest exchange available on the US market.

One year later, Circle had to sold Poloniex because of the strict regulations of the US market. Poloniex was bought in 2019 by a a group of multiple investors from Asia, one of them being the CEO and founder of Tron cryptocurrency, Justin Sun. The new managers of Poloniex decided to completely restrict US customers and make Poloniex a cryptocurrency platform available worldwide. The new company is now named Polo Digital Assets, Ltd and has it's headquarters in Eden Island, Seychelles.

Poloniex currently has a daily training volume of around 80-100 million dollars which makes it one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges, currently sitting on 14th position on Coinmarketcap.

Poloniex features and services

Buy cryptocurrencies with debit / credit card

With the help of Simplex you can buy cryptocurrencies on Poloniex directly with your debit or credit card. However this is not a very cheap way of buying cryptocurrencies as you will be charged 3.5% fees(minimum 10$) for each purchase.

Trade cryptocurrencies without KYC.

Initially KYC was obligatory on Poloniex since it was a US based company. After Circle took management of Poloniex exchange they removed obligatory KYC and you can trade up to 20.000 dollars every 24 hours with no restrictions.

Leding service

You can lend or borrow cryptocurrencies from other persons using the margin lending platform. Here you can see an example of lending offers that are available :

Supported cryptocurrencies and countries on Poloniex

Overall, right now Poloniex has over 280 cryptocurrencies available for trading on their platform. But more than 50% of them have less than 0.01% trading volume daily so only about 80-100 cryptocurrencies have a decent amount of volume on their platform.

Poloniex exchange is available worldwide but there are a few countries that are completely restricted like Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, USA. As long as you are not living in one of these countries you can join and trade on Poloniex safely.

Poloniex fees

Poloniex fees are probably some of the lowest you can find on any exchange. Even if you are a low volume trader the maximum fees you can pay for each trade are 0.09%. If you are a high volume trader the fees can go down up to 0% depending on your trading volume during the last 30 days,as shown in the image below.

Poloniex Plus was created for loyal customers of the exchange that are trading high volumes every day. Customers that join Poloniex Plus will have certain advantages and benefits like lower fees, better customer service, higher limits.

Is Poloniex a trusted exchange?

Poloniex used to be a mediocre exchange in the past and many people had issues trading on this exchange. Not only the exchange had very strict regulations but also their customer support service was extremely poor. It is also important to know that Poloniex was hacked a short time after it was launched in 2014 but since there was no similar incidents happening on their platform.

After being bought and managed by a different company in 2019 Poloniex started to come back to life as they removed multiple restrictions like forced KYC and improved their customer support. Today, Poloniex is one of the most trusted cryptocurrency exchange being used by more than 1 million customers worldwide.

Even thought it is one of the most popular and trusted exchanges you have to remember that Poloniex is not regulated so you should still take precautions and do not keep huge amounts of money on their platform for a long time.

Thanks for sharing a nice review, I have exchanged crypto at Poloniex, even though this exchange is very safe but often I get negative news from out there.

As I said in my review Poloniex used to be a mediocre exchange that promoted lots of shit coins used for pumps and dumps scheme. But now Poloniex is under complete new management team and one of the persons who now owns Poloniex is actually the founder of Tron token
 
Poloniex is a good stock exchange. The exchange has a simple interface and works well .. Sometimes ZEC and Pascal have a problem with token deposit .. I do not know what is the reason but once in 2 weeks Zec cryptocurrency address has technical problems
 
If poloniex is a good exchange, how come they give negative reviews All over the net, well I reserve my comments becouse some people can still be benefiting from the app and still deny that they are not, but for me I won't do that, if your platform is good, I will tell others about the goodness that's me for real.
 
Poloniex is a scam exchange Poloniex stole my friends tokens from my Polo wallet and they refused to refund him or propose a solution to resolve the matter, i will never ever trade with them and i do not recommend them, they are thieves and scammers.

I have trade on of right from about 3 years ago and to be honest, their features are very well okay and have a good rate but I just do not like the user interface of the site and I hope they hop on and work on it very soon to have many customers.
