Let’s be honest, 2022 was certainly an eventful year, and not for the faint of heart. In the past 12 months, the crypto industry witnessed the debacles of LUNA, 3AC, and FTX. And of course, this has caused a fair bit of FUD, with many people opting out of crypto as a whole.
Having been around for so long, we know that this is neither the first crypto winter nor the last one, but we are committed to braving the winters and welcoming the springs to come.
Before we look ahead to what awaits us in 2023, let’s recap 2022.
Poloniex has transformed the crypto world more than once over the past nine years, attracting traders around the world. Over the course of our history, we have always stayed true to our original purpose, with a deep commitment to upgrading our product experience, improving asset allocation options and reducing trading costs.
We know that the reason behind Poloniex’s sustained vitality in the constantly changing blockchain sector is our original purpose: to connect more people with crypto through better products and services.
That is why in 2022, Poloniex rebranded itself and launched its new slogan: Connecting You to the Power of Crypto. This statement is our mantra that originates from our world vision: We see a world where ideas and information will be shared through open value systems. Driving us forward toward this vision is our mission statement: To connect the world to the power of cryptocurrency.
To fulfill these ideas, we rolled out a brand-new trading system and API endpoints that are faster, more stable and easier to use, so as to meet the demands of both individual and institutional traders; we introduced new trading modes and tools, such as a cross margin mode for USDT-margined perpetual contracts and a cross margin mode for spot trading, in order to cater to the investment need of every trader.
In 2022, we expanded our focus to the Asia-Pacific and South American countries such as Malaysia, India, Vietnam, and Brazil, helping numerous users to better understand the crypto world and make their own mark on it; we worked closely with our global partners in every field to explore the infinite possibilities of the future world of Web3.
In the past nine years, we’ve seen countless trading platforms come and go, yet Poloniex is still growing. We believe we can do even better in our tenth year, surpassing what we have achieved and living up to the needs and expectations of our global users.
In 2023, we will launch the sub-account feature, aiming to improve the capital efficiency for institutions and professional users; we will continue to develop more trading tools including grids, trading bots, and follow-up trading systems to help users with different trading strategies; we will also introduce more channels for depositing and easier, more user-friendly lite versions to make the crypto world more accessible to new users.
We will continue our focus on emerging markets and crypto education for the public; Polopedia, our crypto encyclopedia effort, will keep producing high-quality content; we will organize more activities such as hackathons, developer contests, and trading competitions to remove industry barriers and support the development and prosperity of the ecosystem.
The expedition of the crypto world is an arduous marathon, yet someone has to finish it.
A big Thank You to our united, strong, global team, whose quick response to every unexpected change has ensured the smooth operation of this multi-billion-dollar crypto exchange 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.
And to our many users around the world, Thank You. It means so much to us that you have and continue to support us in Poloniex’s 10th year. And as we have in 2022, so will we strive to deliver on our promise of being your connection to a world of financial freedom, new ideas, and all that Web3 has to offer, once again, in 2023.
Sincerely,
Poloniex Team
