Coinup Announces Release Of Its 2025 Report Card: From Growth To Compliance, The Rise Of Second-Tier Exchanges

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) SINGAPORE, Jan. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CoinUp announced the release of its 2025 Report Card, detailing a year of accelerated user growth, strengthened regulatory compliance, disciplined product execution, and expanding global presence.

As the digital asset industry moves steadily toward institutionalization and clearer regulatory standards, the report highlights how CoinUp and other second-tier exchanges are narrowing the gap with top-tier platforms through security, compliance, and sustainable strategy rather than short-term hype.

A Fourth Year At A Strategic Inflection Point
Founded in Silicon Valley in 2021, 2025 marked CoinUp's fourth year of operation and a critical inflection point for the crypto exchange sector.

While market attention often centers on established leaders, CoinUp's report card reflects the distinct pressures and opportunities faced by fast-growing exchanges balancing expansion, resilience, and trust.

Amid rapid market cycles, volatile sentiment, and intensifying competition, CoinUp prioritized long-term fundamentals over short-term visibility.

Data-Driven Growth Across Scale, Security, & Compliance
CoinUp's global user base surpassed 10 million users across more than 200 countries, with peak daily trading volume reaching $5 billion and average daily volume exceeding $3 billion. CoinUp now supports 700+ spot trading pairs and more than 100 derivatives markets, ranking 30th on CoinMarketCap's derivatives exchange list.

Capital confidence also strengthened, with average daily net capital inflows of $80 to $120 million and daily platform revenue of $1.2 to $1.8 million. The platform maintained $500 million in reserves, achieving 100% Proof of Reserves certification through an independent audit by CER, with no misappropriation or leverage usage. CoinUp has now recorded four consecutive years with zero major security incidents.

On the regulatory front, CoinUp achieved a major milestone by completing the filing of a Form D exempt offering with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, following its existing Canadian FINTRAC registration and U.S. MSB license. Passing the SEC's comprehensive compliance review marked a significant step toward a more institution-ready operational model.

Meanwhile, CoinUp's workforce expanded to nearly 1,000 employees, with operational hubs established in Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Abu Dhabi, supporting its global strategy.
